[NU Sports] Darnell and Hudaifa on track to graduate from NU in June

[Roy Lamberton]

I ran into Darnell at the NGN auction last Spring.

He was really fired up about continuing his education and was talking about
getting finished, etc.

I did ask if he was going to have anything to do with the football team. He said
he'd enjoy helping out if he could - but I think his desire to finish school has
over ridden his interest in helping, altho I'm not sure he's been asked.

Some of you may know that I transferred to NU as a Junior after 4 years in the
Navy. Both DA and Hudaifa are a little older than I was when I got to Evanston.
I'm sure the culture shock between college in 1995 and now is pretty
significant.

Anyway, I wished DA luck in his studies, but he's quite a personality. I doubt
he's struggling to finish.
