[QMany]

Bo Pelini confirmed to me on Friday that DT Todd Peat is no longer with the program and has been released from his scholarship. #huskers

Injuries and several other things held Peat back from being the player most expected him to be. I'll be curious where he ends up.

Where does he go from here? Arizona school maybe?

well injuries or not, getting bradley in here just got even more important..

 

[The Maudfather]

And our paper thin Dline depth just got worse

I know he has been banged up, but anyone know what "other things" is?

 

[Comish]

Wow.........considering Andrus..........things have a disconcerting way of Re-Peating themselves.........

If I had to guess: work ethic, overweight, overrated. Not necessarily in that order.

I dont know how it can be worse when we lose a guy who never played a down on the field and was riddled with injuries. I hope Todd the best in the future, but he was a guy who was taking up a scholarship on the roster.

I don't mean to be negative, but is it safe to say that we got absolutely no recruiting boost from all the Suh hype? If anything it looks like we took a dip at DT. I think we were all expecting his Heisman caliber year to lead into some big time recruits. As it turns out, it doesn't look like any DT recruits from the following years made any kind of on field contribution. Let me know if I am missing someone though.

Ahhhh, how so. he was never part of the dline depth.

here come the "we didnt need him anyway" people

His ship started to sink when we couldn't land his little brother

Always wondered about this. I figured Pelini would have to be batting them all away with a stick after that season...

He could never get healthy. that's when his ship started to sink.

Did/do we really? Us possibly moving to a 3-4 defense could be a bigger reason he left. This rumor of the 3-4 comes even closer to being true, because that is why JUCO Gregory Davis committed with us. We have enough DTs/DEs for a 3-4. Almost too much actually. Valentine, Randle, Rome, Ankrah, Curry, McMullen, Moss and Williams. Did we really need Peat? Someone who didn't even give anyone any hope during practice that he would be good? All we have is his high school tapes, because he has been a sitting duck since then. Its not his fault, and I wish him the best and hope he has at least one year of his collegiate career to play. He was just a sitting duck on a scholarship that someone else could have. I said a couple months back that Peat Jr was possibly leaving the team.
