We need to learn to read between the lines a little better as a fan base.
 
Donovan Williams - "I want to sign in the spring when all my family can be there" - meant he ain't going to NU.
Kobe King - "Not yet in Lincoln working to clear up some academic issues" - meant he ain't going to NU.

According to verbalcommits and 247, he has not.
 

Shelton has to co-op just to have a football team?  Wow.
 
The first co-op barely happened, it didn't get approved until late July, and the male enrollment of the smaller school involved that year was 7.  Not 7 per class, but 7 total, with 1 freshman, 0 sophomores, 3 juniors and 3 seniors. (And yes, I was one of those 7.)
