The hardship waivers filed by Nebraska transfers Greg Hart and Courtney Love were both denied by the NCAA, Kentucky Coach Mark Stoops said on Monday, but UK is still in the process of appealing the rulings.

“Right now it was denied,” Stoops said Monday night after UK’s practice. “So we have one more appeal going with Courtney, but I feel like Greg’s will be denied.”

Both Hart, a tight end, and Love, a linebacker, were hoping to fill serious positions of need for UK this season.

But the NCAA denied their hardship waivers to avoid sitting out a year per transfer rules.

Love, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound linebacker, said in February that details were still being worked out and that paperwork had been filed by the NCAA. Hart, a 6- 5, 240-pound tight end from Dayton, added that he was still “pretty much in the same boat” as Love.

“We’ve sent in the paperwork; we’re working on it and whatever happens, happens,” he said. “You never know with the NCAA.”

Hart missed spring practices with an injury after playing last season at Nebraska, mostly on special teams. He redshirted his freshman season there.

After also redshirting his freshman season with the Huskers, Love played in 12 games in 2014 with six total tackles, including one for a loss.

Love was a two-time All-Ohio selection at Cardinal Mooney, who had 110 tackles, 19 for a loss and nine sacks with four fumbles and two pass breakups his senior season there.
