Frost set to visit next week.  Doesn't sound like he has any other visits set up but lots of schools are after him.

 

His coach says Nebraska is "all he talks about."

 

Word is he isn't signing until February (don't know why).

Love it except for the February think it's a grade issue or what very curious?

I've heard he told our coaches a while back he is coming to Lincoln if his grades get in check

I know kids not having the grades to get into certain colleges are something which seems almost "hard to do".  However, these kids have probably never been serious students and have gotten through life ok.  Unfortunately, many of the kids don't understand the importance of grades until it's too late.

I can sort of see that in HS. But, when you miss out on going Div 1 the first time because of grades... then you still might not be doing what you need to do in the classroom,  no excuse.

Or they just fell that far behind in HS and were struggling to catch up in JUCO.

These kids don't have the same upbringing and support to focus on their education as kids you know.    These kids probably haven't cared about school their entire life.  It's not an excuse, but expecting every single kid to change their behavior is unrealistic.  There are still going to be a number of kids who don't make it out of the JUCO's.  While it's infuriating to a lot of people to see kids waste these opportunities, it's just the way it is.

Have you ever seen Last Chance U????  Sadly it shows the “struggling to catch up” mentality that probably 60-70% of JUCO players put forth
