Because based on this, he isn't academic eligble at Nebraska for a 2011 scholarship....AND he is interested in getting a scholarship RIGHT NOW for the 2011 class.....if was really interested in Nebraska he could accept a 2012 scholarship once he gets his academics in order....sort of like Heard did who REALLY wanted to come to Nebraska....in Mitchell's case it appears he wants a scholarship wherever he can get one for 2011....perhaps for his medical issue...I don't know....
As you said, he will go elsehwere and sit for a year, while he rehabs from his soon to be ACL surgery, and your right it doesn't make sense at all to me either....which belies what he said earlier in this process, that Nebraska was the place for him and vica-versa either in 2011 or 2012...someone in my opinion, is giving him bad advice....best of luck to him...like I said above probally best for both sides to move on....
There was no room for his teammate in 2011 and he never got an offer from us and just about everyone thought Mitchell would be 'N' as a TE...however, he has chosen to move on because he wants a scholarship NOW....not in 2011....so be it....much different tune than he was talking a month or so ago....
And yes he is a great talent that we could have used....however, there are other TE recruits out there....glad it happened this early in the recruiting cycle that we can now put our empahsis elsewhere...and we will....
Thus my comment 'for obvious reasons'....
Recruiting is a funny business....but you know that already....just look at the Gabberts...
So yeah we get neither....oh well we move on....happens allot....you know that..we will survive this I think....we survived the Gabbert brothers moving on....
Best of luck to him....
Why? you were high on him even with him sitting out and you thought he and his team mate would be in....now we got neither? Makes no sense if he is sitting out the year whatever school he goes to.
