Recruiting: Dimarya Mixon not heading to Nebraska

By Sam McKewon

Former Nebraska 2013 recruit Dimarya Mixon — who had failed to qualify for enrollment this fall — asked for and was granted his release from NU, according to 247Sports. He’ll take five new official visits in hopes of picking a school and enrolling there in January. That school won’t be Nebraska.

Can someone in the know explain this situation? How does one not qualify at NU and expect to qualify at some of the schools he's taking visits to? A la Ark, Auburn etc. I don't really see out pre-req's being more rigid than say, Auburn. Arkansas, well, I think they'd let wet blanket into that place.

Simple. Theyre SEC. They can get him in regardless.

He won't enroll til January when he will have the necessary class to enroll where he wants. Just using it as an excuse to change his mind for the third or fourth time. There's more to it, but it won't come public...yet.. All they will say is it was "mutual".

Kids with far worse academics that couldn't qualify elsewhere have managed to qualify at Auburn. The one that raised my eyebrow a bit is UCLA.
