Hope I Was Wrong on Powe

There is better news out of Oxford this afternoon. As several different media sources are reporting that Jerrell Powe was on campus today getting some papers in line. Powe was reportedly seen in the Martindale Student Services building which houses the admissions office. If Powe gets in that would be great news for this Rebel team and would be a huge builder for the incoming class. Let's hope this all works out. But beware other fans especially State fans are going to be fired up over this one. Get ready for the Maroons to wear the internet message boards out over this one. Below is the update from the local Laurel, MS newspaper.

— OXFORD — Jerrell Powe, the former Parade All-American defensive tackle from Waynesboro, is in Oxford this morning trying to be granted admission to the University of Mississippi. Powe and his mother came with a family friend as they traveled from Waynesboro on Sunday night.
If granted admission to the University of Mississippi, he would then have a 14-day window in which he would be allowed to practice with the Ole Miss football team. Powe met the three requirements for this window.
Powe has a high school diploma, made an 18 on the ACT, and had a combined 2.54 GPA in high school and at Hargrave Military Academy. Powe attended Hargrave Military Academy last year in hopes of improving his academic record. By enrolling at Hargrave he did not use any NCAA eligibility and will be considered a true freshman at any four-year school.
Hopefully, in the mean time Powe‚s paper work will be approved by the NCAA‚s clearing house. Powe thought his case would be heard last Friday by the NCAA , but all the paper work was not in by the Friday meeting time. He and his family hope the clearing house will approve him this Friday.
Powe, Ole Miss, and Wayne County High School all had paper work that was requested by the NCAA.
A friend of the family says Powe does not have plansto attend any other senior or junior college if he is not granted admission to Ole Miss.
