FWIW
Rivals.com has him as a 2-star, same as Scout.
ESPN.com has him at a 3-star

Looks like a pretty formidable force to me. Hope he comes here with his buddy.
Just adds to the BSU family atmosphere, that works so well.
If you ever wanted to see Boise St play...may be a good chance. Love em or Hate em, they are always interesting; and now, no matter where you live, "They're Coming To Your City"
"problems with admissions"
that’s an interesting way to put it. wonder what the deal is.

It's UCLA...
UCLA is notoriously difficult to get in to, and my understanding is that athletes there don’t get preferential treatment in the admissions process, scholarship offer or no.
To put it into perspective, my wife with a 3.6 GPA and 33 ACT didn’t get into UCLA after high school…and that was 12 years ago.
Thanks to Ohio State's president, I will never root for a Big Ten football program again (except in extenuating circumstances that aid my primary rooting interest).

Addendum
To the point, there is no shame in not getting into UCLA academically…or any other top-flight academic school. I personally don’t buy into the whole academic quality argument for undergraduates – go somewhere you feel you fit at with a strong program in your area of study – but that’s just me.
On the other hand, if he can’t gain admission to a low-class institution like Nevada, I’d be much more concerned.

It looks like he still has his puppy feet too...
That is a very large boy.

It is just 1 word but at Boise State they live it and become family. How often often do you hear that it is different at other schools? A lot.
