Nojel didn’t get into Michigan if anyone cares

Dumb decision... after dumb decision... after dumb decision.
He now has no school, no degree, and no chance of playing in the NBA.

I hate to bash a kid, but his mom. She should have let him at least finish his degree. Parents are supposed to guide for their child's future.
Damn, all that tampering for nothing. Can’t wait to see where Treed makes him commit next.
I feel sorry for him to a point, but this is what you get for listening to some really.....REALLY.... bad advice. Now he's screwed and it's 100% his mom's fault.
The horrible truth is, he wasn't, isn't and won't ever play in the NBA.
I hate to pile on, but he wasn't admitted because of many credits that didn't transfer because of his major?
Exactly what credits wouldn't transfer from Purdue to Michigan? Did he suddenly change his major to aeronautical engineering or molecular biology?

Dollars to donuts he never had a commitable offer from Howard and jumped the gun on the tweet.
I really hope after he finishes basketball he comeS back and finish his course load. I’m not sure that Treed ever fully understood the value of a Purdue education
I believe he's stepped in a Purdue classroom for the last time. He's a nonresident student with no athletic scholarship. It would be great if he could but I'd bet against it happening. Due to all the time at home alone with Mom due the virus I think his future is likely another Covid casualty.
Yeah... I’ve never heard of that happening with 2 B1G schools.
Education at Purdue, free. Attempting to transfer to Michigan, free. Listening to his helicopter mom, priceless...
I love how he had to double down on the story. "That is the only reason..." Uh-huh. If Howard wanted him bad enough they could have figured out how to make it work. Hell he was probably looking at a redshirt year anyway to make up any of those credits that "didn't transfer."
OTOH, maybe he should have just gone to North Carolina.

I don't understand the "credits didn't transfer" story as a school will usually accept credits without a grade. What was his major? This is a bit of an insult to Purdue if true.
So it appears Howard still hasn't learned that discussing unsigned recruits is not OK.
People usually go to state college for two years before transferring to Purdue, not the reverse...
That's because that isn't the reason he's not going to Meatchicken.
Purdue credits transfer.
Hells bells. People can think what they want about the kid, this is just a travesty. One flippin' year away from a degree from an institution admired all around the world. It makes me sick to my stomach what was done to him, and what he let happen to him.
We have the world burning around us, and here is a black man, one year away from attaining a coveted degree FROM PURDUE UNIVERSITY, with an incredible future (whether it included basketball or not) ... and this happens.
I'll say a prayer for him tonight.
I don’t buy the credits didn’t transfer line. That’s crap and properly a way for Nojel to save face, for whatever that’s worth. But the people in this thread acting like Michigan is a crap school is ridiculous. It’s typically ranked one or two in the B1G in terms of academic and research, fighting with Northwestern for the top spot. Purdue is typically 3-5 range in most reports. That said, both schools have areas where they are the best in the world.
I always liked Nojel but he ruined a great opportunity at Purdue.

I think Kelsey Barlow summed it up well a few months ago when he posted about his book. If a school wants you, they will make it work to get you in. There is definitely alot more to the story than being reported by either side. In this world with no sports, I will take the cheap entertainment.
I agree it is very sad and unfortunate. He also seems like a good kid too based on all accounts I have seen. I would also not call him a kid. He's 21. Yes I understand minds don't fully mature until 25 or so, but Nojel had other competent adults in his ear other than his mom like Matt Painter and other coaches. Of all his experiences and what he has been exposed to in his 21+ years, this decision is on him.
He was a sales/sales management major, I think. How do those credits from Purdue not transfer?!?
Purdue85: I agree with you. This story about Nojel makes me very sad.
Ugh, that sucks for him (no matter if it is the 'real' reason or not). I appreciate his effort here (even if, or maybe especially if, he was unhappy the last year or so). I hate that he left, but I hope he finds some success and happiness wherever he ends up.
I hold degrees from 4 Universities. And I attended 6-7 collecting a course here and there.
I did have one Problem with my Purdue credits. At the time Purdue English 101 and 102 were 2 credit courses. At UTSA, they required 6 credits of English. So I took another English course. Issue solved.
I also had an issue transferring credits from Weber State to Purdue. Weber State was on a quarter basis. So I provided a description of the course, it was reviewed and it was ok as long as I was able to have the minimum credits to graduate. Again, simple issue- case solved.
UTSA also required that I take a course in Texas history. So I did. Case solved.
a question I have. Wasn’t there something introduced a few years ago that an athlete had to have so many credits towards progress in their Major to be labeled for that education level? And there were entrance requirements required to admittance into each School? Like you took general classes like chemistry and Calculus etc before being accepted into the Purdue School of Science or Engineering management etc? Perhaps he had enough credits, But not enough of his chosen major to be accepted into his school. My son had a similar hurdle for his Sports Administration degree at SIU. But again he had the right credits and was admitted to his school without incident.
I hate to say it, but as a parent of an athlete, I have personal knowledge that at every school there are educational specialists who make sure students get their correct classes and also attend them. I was also a college tutor and instructor at a junior college.
I can think of no reason for any student or athlete to be denied admission To any University with a few possible exceptions. The biggest reason is failure to complete required classes. A person can only take so many golf, swimming and dance classes. You are expected to actually take classes that are part of your major.
the biggest issue is with today’s technology if you are short 1-5 classes, there are so many online courses you can complete that will fill that void and be accepted. However, you do have to actually take them and they are harder than one might be led to believe. Since his announcement to transfer and today is about the right length to take and complete an online course. Unfortunately most online courses don’t play favorites.
I’m a single parent kid. I remember my mom’s involvement in my College education. Her philosophy was that it was my education and also MY RESPONSIBILITY! And it was the same way with my son.
