The New Topic

Now that Schaeffer has arrived in Oxford there is a new story that will take over the internet world. That is the status of Jerrell Powe. Powe whose eligibilty became questionable as of late is not on the Oxford campus. He has returned home to his family in Waynesboro. This is not good news for the Rebel faithful. Many have questioned what is holding Powe up. Is it the NCAA Clearinghouse, the SEC, our own adminstration. The SEC is a good possiblity as they have begun to rule on player eligibility in question. There could also be some schools out there that are jealous and claim to have some recruiting questions.

I predict he will eventually get in Ole Miss if he does not jump ship before then. Do I think he will be at practice next week? No, but he will make it eventually. No one really knows who is holding up the equation. But if it is the NCAA holding this up, there is no excuse. They have had this case for several months, it is not fair to Powe no matter what school he was trying to get into. We do have some Waynesboro insight on the blog, maybe we can get some scoop.
