so is he going to make it to camp or what?

So he is good to go or what ? I thought you had to have an 18 on your act to be able make the cut ?

For qualifying they use a sliding scale based on GPA and ACT/SAT score. They don't go by the 16 he got but use the total of the four sections of the test. To be a Division 1 qualifier with a GPA of 2.5 or above the total has to be a minimum of 68. Yet as a partial qualifier with a GPA of 2.75 or above (he's 2.82) the sum of the scores only has to be 59 which is feasible with the 16. I believe the Big XII only allows one partial qualifier per recruiting class.

reporting on the a premium board that he is going to have to gray shirt this year and join the team in jan.

From what I gathered that was just an option at this point. They asked him if it was a possibility of Fabian paying his way to go to school for the first semester and he said no he had not talked that over with Fabian. He then said that he just has to send his paperwork into the clearing house and he should be good to go. By what he said and by what he said coach Watson was telling him he just has to send the paperwork in.

There are no partial qualifiers anymore. That went away with the formation of the B12. The test score is on some sort of sliding scale using the parts of tests (can be different ones), but I have no idea how that works or what the numbers are.

I'm not an expert by any means when it comes to recruiting regulations and such, but wouldn't Fabian being a former Husker football player, paying for a current player's college, create some kind of problem w/ the NCAA?

[AR Husker Fan]

Pretty sure that would be, "Yes"...

I think it's ok if they're related to the player.

AR, RedDenver is correct. Family does not fall under the whole boosters law by the NCAA.

 

If it did, we would already be in trouble when Ahman took Niles Paul in for the summer last year.

according to BRR he is good to go and will be in lincoln either wednesday or saturday. it doesnt say anything about greyshirting or anything like that. just that he is unbelievably excited to be going to lincoln and being able to get in to position meetings and into the mix of things with the team

[DJR313]

What was all this bs about him not qualifying then?

[huskers1]

Ya he is in and all good to go. He will be here saturday and said he plans to either play strong safety or outside linebacker. This is just more great news to add to the week.
