I've been pretty lucky lately to come across some nice inside information. I've got more today and it involves Elite 11 Quarterback Keith Nichol of Lowell, Michigan.

As many of you know, Nichol is one of the nation's finest quarterbacks. He committed early to Michigan State. After a poor MSU season, USC and Oklahoma came a calling. Nichol decided to decommit and go with Oklahoma. Nichol's insider reasoning was MSU's poor season and the ability to start from Day 1 at OU.

Well, Nichol seriously injured his arm/elbow on his throwing arm just recently. He is trying to keep the injury a secret. His classmates and some of his closest friends do not even know about the injury. He wears it in a sling when he is not around others and he's trying to keep the injury a secret from OU.

Nichol is very worried about the injury and the seriousness of the situation. He doesn't know whether or not he'll be ready at the start of next year. He currently is working with a baseball pitching coach after school trying to gain his arm strength back and regain the motion in his arm. This could effect his stance with OU especially with Mustain rumors flying around.

Just thought this would interest some here.
