Jonathon Nwanko, 6-9 former Minn recruit.

Another big? Where does the scholarship come from?

Is he a grad transfer or a normal transfer? If a normal one, he'd have to sit out a year probably, and would replace Maia/Ododa.

EDIT: Just checked, he seems like a true freshman that was released from LOI, which I would think does not require him to sit out? No idea then.

Probably potential signee for next freshman class--November 2015 signing period for freshmen arriving Fall 2016.

Nwanko was class of 2015 but was released apparently due to being unable to be admitted to Minnesota. So maybe he needs to go back to prep school for some classes and will reclassify for 2016.

Yeah, unless Wilson has qualifying problems (which has happened to some players from his HS) then we are full and no schollies available.

Come 2016.... there will be four available and Manigault takes one leaving 3 open at this time.

2017... right now is looking like 6 opening up. That will be a whole new team from what we have now.
