http://www.wholehogsports.com/news/2019 ... ng-about-/Hicks is a graduate transfer, meaning he doesn’t have to take a full class load to be eligible. Ironically, he’s enrolled in a leadership class in his graduate program. The NCAA requires grad transfers to be enrolled in only one class, all Hicks is taking.
Hicks picked out the leadership course, offered online. He told Bo Mattingly in a podcast this week that it takes him 30 minutes of daily work on his laptop to do the reading and answer the questions, then it’s off to football.
“It’s like my job is now football,” Hicks said last month. “I have my degree, so it’s like I’m in the work force now. It’s football all day, every day. I can help others in their tape study. I can be in the football offices all day.”
That’s what you want at quarterback, a player/coach. Morris has said this all spring: the Hogs are better. And, in the next breath, he’ll probably say that No. 8 is the leader. You’ll see Saturday that No. 6 is pretty good, too.

Can players graduate and go to grad school at their undergrad school while taking only one course? This seems like a pretty big loophole, but Shane can do the same thing...like GG before that.
