There goes our natty.
Kidding aside, I understand why they wouldn't want to waste a season of eligibility. JN in particular -- hasn't played in 6 months, suffered an injury that is very tricky to come back from, takes a while to regain confidence and trust even after it is physically healed. Why burn up a season for 10-15 games playing for a coach who hopefully won't be here next season? I'd guess they and the high school recruits will never play for OU.
