OWASSO — Fear and hope filled Will Kuehne in June. Fear that he would miss out on North Texas, a school he really liked, if he waited any longer to commit as quarterbacks began to come off the board. Hope that when he did commit to the school in Denton, Texas, that he would be the piece to bring in big recruits to build the class. That pushed Kuehne, Owasso's star quarterback, to commit on June 19, landing a chance to return close to his hometown just two years after moving away to play quarterback and be closer to family. “That's where I felt best with the connections that I have with coaches,” Kuehne said. “Then growing up there, it's 15 minutes from where I was born and raised. Probably the connections and being able to go back home was what helped me make my decision.” Read more: https://newsok.com/article/5600684/the-oklahomans-super-30-why-owasso-qb-will-kuehne-chose-north-texas

t's hard enough for college athletes to play as true freshmen, but starting in 2016, some will not even have the option. The reason? Academics. In 2012, the NCAA enacted a so-called "academic redshirt," starting with this upcoming recruiting class. Athletes who don't meet certain entry requirements are required to sit out a year of competition, though they are still permitted to practice. High school students still need to have at least a 2.0 GPA and complete 16 core classes to participate in Division I sports, but now, they'll need to have a 2.3 GPA and 10 of their core courses locked in by the start of their senior year to play in their first year without redshirting. Why did the NCAA enact this rule? The NCAA says its goal is to make sure athletes are more prepared in the classroom when it comes time to compete. According to the association, the new rules will likely affect eight percent of men's basketball players, five percent of football players and two percent of athletes overall. "The big thing they're trying to stop is these miracle qualifiers who re-take six core classes their senior year," Arkansas director of compliance Will Landreth said. No longer can athletes make up all the classes they missed in the last year of high school, nor can they slack off early on. "A lot of times, why are these standards put in place?" Todd Leyden, the director of the NCAA Eligibility Center asked. "It’s because of abuse in the system." Indeed, that happens at times in recruiting, according to SB Nation recruiting analyst Bud Elliott. "It's common for players to screw around for their first five semesters and then start caring in the classroom once they start getting college interest," Elliott said. "This new rule will bring an end to that in some respects." read more: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/1/27/10822442/ncaa-academic-redshirt-rule-requirements
