ADS Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Rivals is reporting he will be left off the 105 man roster fwiw. Callahan is hoping Frost will address it tomorrow during his first fall presser. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I was just going to post that I get the feeling Avery Roberts will be left off as well. Wilbon sounds like he might not even be on the team. Which would be too bad. I'd like to see what he could do in a different offense. 1 Quote Link to comment

Cdog923 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 This doesn't surprise me; it looked like someone put an air hose in Wilbon and pumped him up a bit in Spring Roberts would be really disappointing, and probably on his way to not being on the roster. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Seems like Greg Bell and Tre Bryant (if healthy) will get the most carries, with Bradley taking up the remainder. Ozigbo would be the big back, leaving Wilbon to pick up carries here and there. Doesn't seem like a great equation for him. I can see why he'd explore his options. Quote Link to comment

4skers89 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I thought Wilson graduated. He could transfer. Quote Link to comment

macroboy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I was kind of waiting for this. There was an article not long ago reviewing our running backs and wilbon wasn't even mentioned. Quote Link to comment

Has been called out before and it sounds like things haven't changed. Not looking like the guy that was recruited out of high school. No idea what the issue is but doesn't seem to really be putting in a quality effort currently. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Quote With Roberts, as Ruud stated in the spring, a big part of these summer months had to be getting in better condition. The coach is eager to see how Roberts comes out of that work with Husker football strength coach Zach Duval. "I told him, 'Summer has to be huge for you,'" Ruud said. It wasn't just strength and conditioning that Roberts needed to hammer, but keeping the proper diet with that work. "It's an all-day, 24/7, 365 days a year deal now, college football. So his whole lifestyle, I really challenged." 247 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Regarding Wilbon: "he's not expected to stick around." Source I trust. Not sure if I can say who said that here. Could hear something official Thursday. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 After rewatching the spring game, it is obvious Wilbon can't carry the extra weight at all. Looked like our slowest RB. I like Ozigbo, Bell and Mazour and all three should get to play some as each has strengths. Bell quicker slasher, Zig has the power and decent speed and Mazour gets everything you can out of every shap. Interchangeable in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment
