Sad. RIP Herman.

What a tragedy...heart goes out to Sooner nation and this kid's family. Kids shouldn't be dying at 18 years old.

I don't know what's worse, an 18-year-old is dead or a 19-year-old will spend eternity behind bars...

OU Seeks waiver to allow booster to raise funds for recruit's funeral

NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma will ask the NCAA for a waiver to allow a booster to continue raising money to help the family of a football recruit pay for the player's funeral, a school spokesman said Wednesday.

Herman Mitchell, a 6-foot, 200-pound linebacker, orally committed in June to play for the Sooners, but the 17-year-old who attended Westfield High School in Houston, was fatally shot Friday with a rifle after getting into a fight at a Houston apartment complex.


Soon after, Oklahoma booster Adam Fineberg, who lives in Houston, began raising money for Mitchell's family to help defray the player's funeral costs. Fineberg had raised about $4,500 before university compliance officials told him his actions violated NCAA rules.
