Noskowiak Taking Online Classes

[pacearrow02]

Looks like Noskowiak has left Sun Prairie all together....hope it helps get things straightened out!  Tough break for the kid and his team to have to deal with this.

I hope he gets everything straightened out and most importantly, gets healthy. These kids are in the spotlight 24/7 and I can only imagine how difficult it can be to have that sort of focus on you at all times.

I hope he does what is best for him, even if that means a red shirt at Marquette or even a deferral.

Can we accept recruits that graduate from correspondence schools.

Good luck to Nick - maybe Heldt can visit since they're a short drive away now.

On a tangent, has MU stopped pretending that the whole internet fad is going to come to an end and acknowledged online learning yet?  When I was at MU not too long ago they had no online courses and at least the CoB didn't allow any online courses (even non-business) to transfer for credit either.  Meanwhile, scores of other very reputable schools managed to build out strong online offerings and secure additional revenue streams.  From a search, I've found a fairly lackluster College of Education page that acknowledges they now offer online courses, but that's about all.

Is "correspondence schools" a shot or do you fart dust?  Just asking.

Good luck, Nick.   Take care of yourself.

I know Marquette accepts online classes from transfers from UW schools.

I think I fart dust, but the question is confusing.

This may muddy the waters in terms of his eligibility.  My guess is that, if MU still wants him, they will be instrumental in selecting the particular online courses he'll take.  Every HS has courses which meet the NCAA standard requirement for English, Math, etc (48-H form, I believe).  Such a young kid to be dealing with such issues.  Let's wish him success.

Marquette wasn't accepting online credit for athletes.  This article came out last month.

Connect the dots.

Poor attempt at humor.

I meant, on-line learning is becoming mainstream, not comparable to the old notion of correspondence class.

[4everwarriors]

So, 4 schollies available, hey?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Thoughts and prayers with Nick.  Hope he figures everything out.  Bright future ahead of him.

Does mean he will likely not be enrolling at MU?

[GooooMarquette]

Get well Nick.

[esotericmindguy]

So, 4 schollies available, hey?

Yeah. That was my first thought. Be shocked if he ever makes it to Marquette. Hard to believe a kid with so much upside and talent could be depressed in high school. Too bad, hope he gets better.

I was certainly under the impression that Maymon took several online credits which counted for MU.  I don't see how online college credits wouldn't be accepted by a University.

[cheebs09]

I remember the same thing about Maymon. Hopefully this change helps the healing process for him. I'd love for him to be in an MU jersey next year, but his health is obviously the number one priority.

Marquette stopped taking online credits for athletes about three years ago.  Again, read the article and connect the dots.

Very Bizzare, so hes not  coming or......

[warriorchick]

Clinical depression has nothing to do with whether or not you have an amazing life.  It is basically a chemical imbalance in the brain.  Most of the people suffering from depression have very little to be depressed about.

I'm very very familiar with this article.  What I don't see is how a University could not accept online college credits from another University, and only for athletes.  Especially when on the transcripts most good Universities don't indicate whether it was online or a regular class.

Respectfully, your comment highlights why this disease is so misunderstood.

The article mentions however that he is taking online high school classes. Nowhere does it state he's taking them through a university (unless I completely missed it). Either way, schools can pretty easily choose what they will and will not accept. I lost a decent amount of credits transferring to Marquette from the UW system, and MU specifically states they accept most UW credits.
