Red Five Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Does that mean summer school? Or he goes to a school that doesn't get out until sometime in June? Quote Link to comment

His coach didn't specific. I believe their are summer classes that run May-July, so that is my guess. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Speculation that he may have to go the academic redshirt route where he'd be on campus but not eligible. 2 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully we can make that happen I actually don't think that would be such a bad thing. I love his potential, but we have a decent stable of backs that can handle this year. Get him a redshirt year learning the system, getting in Duvall-style shape, and adjusting to college life - then look out next year. I still hope he qualifies, but if he at least makes it to campus that's a win. 1 Quote Link to comment

Bell wasn't amazing at the spring game, but he was what was expected....a vast improvement....and I maintain he's the low end of what we need. 2 Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 when do we hear official word whats happening? WHen do we expect him on campus? If he can do an academic redshirt technically couldnt he show up on may 22nd if he wanted to? Or does he have classes that run into june? Quote Link to comment

Vince R. Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Kids with his kind of talent don't like waiting. I don't want to see a scenario where he asks for a release to go to a school that will allow him to play right away. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Him not qualifying would suck. It’s not very often a RB with his talent comes here. Quote Link to comment

You have Miles Jones and Tyjon Lindsey who will be used out of the backfield as well. Quote Link to comment

If he cant play here where could he play? If he isnt academic eligible that would be the case at every school right? This kid seems to have his head on straight- if his grades are not up to snuff I think he knows thats on him to get right. I dont see that this kid is anything like Blades. Quote Link to comment
