Guess this just goes to show who has 'Pull.' As far as I know we are still waiting to hear on eligibility for Nailah Dillard and Bella Cravens (neither of whom are transfers within conference).

[All About the Corn]

Well I am not surprised by Brown getting to play this year. Kind of figured that was coming. Did not see any news on Mershon. That said we should have already heard about Dillard, and Cravens. IMHO the NCAA should have changed the rule on 1st time transfers. But they are dragging their feet on this in the form of more review. Some schools work very hard in getting transfers even in conference approved.

So who granted Brown the play immediately deal...the NCAA or B1G ? If it was finally decided by the B1G....I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get waivers. 

The B1G has been so helpful to Nebraska lately. (sarcasm)

 

Anyway, we certainly should get waivered in. 

[HUD]

I'm sure it's the NCAA but the teams and possibly the Big Ten could have input.

[All About the Corn]

I think both the NCAA and the B1G when it is within the conference.

[Bugeaters1]

So what does Nebraska do wrong that we can't get players immediately eligible.

So with Cravens getting her release it should be a no brainer for Dillard right?

In reading the article by Sam on Craven's it said Dillard received a waiver earlier.  Don't remember reading any thing on that.  Go figure.

[All About the Corn]

I have not had a chance to read his story. Funny Sam did not give is a heads up to her release. Great that both are now available for this year.

Yes, Dillard got the waiver too.....from article about Cayton

 

The Huskers want the same to be true of California graduate transfer MiCole Cayton, who transferred to Nebraska after multiple knee surgeries.

“She’s not 100% doing full-court, full-contact just yet, but she is in a position where she’s been doing a lot of live, half-court drills and really progressing and showing a lot of strength,” Williams said of Cayton.

This is the first I've seen that Nailah Dillard is eligible to play this year.

Cravens is one of two Huskers to receive immediate eligibility this season. The other was former Texas Tech guard Nailah Dillard, who left a Red Raider program investigated for widespread abuse of players. The coach, Marlene Stollings, was fired in August, as a result of the investigation. Dillard should be one of Nebraska’s better defenders. is one of two Huskers to receive immediate eligibility this season.

Mershon will have to sit:

 

Mershon just completed her second season at Nebraska, averaging 1.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. She will not be eligible to play for the Gophers this season as she sits out one season due to NCAA transfer rules. She sees the year off from games as an opportunity to grow her own game and take her skills to the next level.

“I really want to work on my scoring mentality. At Nebraska, they saw me more as a defensive threat, while the coaches here want me to be more of an overall player,” Mershon said. “I think working on my offensive game and connections with my teammates will make the transition that much easier next year.”

*breaking* just a few minutes ago: according to the StarTribune, coach whalen  (due to injuries and illness) has applied for a waiver for Mershon to be immediately eligible. hoping for a response this week.

 

Minnesota is down to seven healthy players.

He's going to have to work on that offensive end of it pretty hard in my book

Maybe I'm missing something...

 

That statement about only being a defensive player is concerning.  If Mershon got the idea she was only wanted here to rebound...then there surely was a communication problem here. ......But would have to say that's all she did most of the time. ....also thought she ran the floor fairy well. 

 

while the coaches here (Minn) want me to be more of an overall player.   I would hope we want all our players to be multifaceted as possible.

I just think Mershon was a bad fit with Nebraska, shes better in an uptempo system where she can run the floor and set screens and roll or pop. With Cain always in the post it really hurt Mershons skill set imo. I think she's a good fit in the Whalen system where they space the floor and have pretty electric guards. Itll be interesting to see how she does there.

Nebraska never really tried to run any set plays for Mershon. Sometimes the coaches vision that convinces you to go to a school does not always evolve into a reality. 

[HUD]

She was an average scorer in high school.
