Wasn’t he offered an academic scholarship at Yale? If he is a good enough student to go to Yale, why couldn’t N offer him an academic scholarship as a backup plan? Perhaps it’s not that simple?

Can’t offer academic scholarships as an alternative to a football schollie.

Copy that.

He told the staff he was N, was part of the commit chat group. Then went radio silent and called Frost. We now "dont have room" and snagged best available in Alante Brown is my understanding 

I'd believe that too.

Any truth to the rumor that Frost told him to kick rocks yesterday?

You don't think schools would abuse the F out of this if it was a legal practice?

I did have a friend who was on a full ride academic scholarship and the fb team.  He was able to do that because he was not recruited at all and walked on to the team after starting school (basically showed up at the football offices freshman year to inquire about getting on a training program to tryout for the team, the told him they needed an extra player at this position, pulled some film on him, had him do a few drills, and he was on the team a week later).

That's the Nebraska side of the story.   We'll see if a Johnson/Wisconsin side comes to light today.

Glad it's done early. Lock the thread, off to our potential 5 kids we land today!

That’s fair. I’m greedy and wanted the kid regardless, but if we are replacing him with another top prospect it’ll ease the blow. Now just go flatten him on the field

Lost him to frickin Wiscy.  Ugh...
