Has Newell been confirmed?

[Maverick008]

Besides it being reported that he was going to sign?

 

[seniorsooner]

Define "confirmed". Hale reported in a premium article that he has committed to OU. Presumably this came from Calvin himself. If "confirmed" means signing a LOI then no.

I don't even know if he's a Christian, let alone whether or not he's had his confirmation...

Heh

Hale has a new premium interview up with Newell from last night. It's a good interview that talks about, among other things, why he committed to OU, when he expects to arrive, and that he planned to send in his paperwork last night or this morning.

[soonerfud]

I'm gettin woried that something is up with this commitment. Anybody heard anything on why no official word? Somebody come in late that we don't know about? Please? Anybody?

I saw somewhere that he was having to retake the sat or some other test. Sounds like it's a qualifying issue, but I'm not 100% sure.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think you have to be qualified to sign with somebody. Really wish we could hear something on this. Kid looks like a player, or potential player anyway.

Does anyone know when he is planning on taking the test? I looked on-line and test dates are this Saturday (May 1st) and June 5th.

I was real excited about getting this kid. Now I am going to get excited if he signs. Otherwise I don't even know his name.

I hear it's going to be broadcast on SoonerSports.com.

you are mistaken

 

[JBaker]

you are mistaken

No he isn't.
You can absolutely sign without being qualified.
You just can't enroll.

 

[MO]

Not mistaken. You do not have to be qualified to sign. You have to qualifiy to get the scholarship and attend class.

All of the kids in my confirmation class were excited because they got money and other crap from their parents (someone got a guitar) just for getting confirmed. All I got was lunch at a Chinese restaurant, and I'm still going to go to hell. Oh well.

 

[SoonerinNC]

If he doesn't qualify I'm sure Calipari would be able to get him qualified.

 

[boksooner]

Maybe Derrick Rose can take his SAT for him.

Thanks for havin my back fellas. Yeah you can sign with somebody, just not enroll. Several of our basketball and footballers aren't yet qf when they sign.
