I live in Ashland/Greenwood but I know nothing just what I read on internet, tweets, and their football posts. He got a Minnesota offer yesterday. I believe I read somewhere that Neb will check his knee out a short time before his senior year starts and if it checks out they will offer.

I can say this, I saw Ben Stille yesterday and that boy has changed into full man mode! By the way he's added great weight, and his chest & arms filled out he isn't messing around. Wow. I have a photo of him I took with his class and he looks like he's 10 years older than everyone else. Looks like he ate the other kids. A Teenage Hulk.

I think if he didn't tear his ACL last fall he would have been offered in March.

IMO he gets an offer sometime in June. He's a hell of a talent.

The Air Force offer is interesting. The services are REAL picky about pre-existing conditions because if they get worse while the guy or gal are in the service they could get stuck cutting a service-related disability check for the rest of the person's life. Maybe they aren't as worried about it in the academies since the cadet is not sworn in until graduation. Seems to me if his knee is good enough for the AF, it should be good enough for NU.

I think there's some kind of swearing in between sophomore and junior year there. During the government shutdown/sequestration a few years ago, I remember they almost had to cancel an away game because there was some halt on non-mission critical travel (or something like that) and it applied to the upperclassmen.

I know, slightly off topic but not sure if whatever status change that occurs between the 2nd and 3rd year changes the service-related disability you are talking about.
