Husker Fans on Social Media were hit with some not-so-pleasant news early this morning on the verge of their Thursday evening tilt with the Minnesota Gophers.
The one time LSU commit, turned Georgia transfer, and recent Husker transfer has been awaiting a waiver from the NCAA for several months, requesting immediate eligibility.
The odds were already playing against Gilbert, as the NCAA has been denying eligibility requests from several universities over the course of this Summer. But according to Coach Rhule, the ball was in the NCAA's corner and the Huskers would await their decision. Stating at one point if Gilbert was not awarded the Waiver, the NCAA should not have it as an option.
