Take it for what it is worth but the following was just posted on the Husker Online free forums:
Heard from a source around the program the following regarding JD. Take it or leave it.
-JD has never meshed with this staff. Has always been kind of a loner away from it all.
-JD absolutely wants to play at Minnesota.
-JD was planning on the grad transfer route. When that became an impossibility, he tried to push forward, but after second semester began he got further and further depressed about it the closer spring came.
-The only way JD would really come back to Nebraska is if his dad talks him into it, which he must have at least been trying to do for awhile. But now it seems dad has relented at least a little and almost wants him home.
-If JD doesnt want to play at NU, a waiver from the NCAA is absolutely realistic. As others have said, dad is NFL GM and has lawyers, plus (my take now) factor in the relationship the NcAA wants to keep with the NFL in the age of XFL.
-Anythings possible, but unless JD has a change of heart, chances of him playing at NU are extremely slim.
