"Jordan Stevenson is done"

Good luck to Jordan in his future.

He had a tough deal not getting admitted into Wisconsin and then having a week to choose his next school. He started a step behind everyone and it didn't seem to work out.

 
What a complete waste of time this ended up being for him and for Nebraska. He comes in late and out of shape knowing playing time will come next year. Then we hear rumors he threatened to transfer unless he was played against Wiscy and then he ends up playing and not doing much of anything. Now he has quit the team.

I mean I hope I'm wrong here, but it kinda seems like he expects to be the super star wherever he is on day one. It takes work and loyalty. Got a raw deal at Wiscy, could have really become something here. This is unfortunate.

This has more to do with a kid just being a genuine pain in the butt than anything else. It's been nothing but drama with him since he came to Lincoln. Last Saturday it pretty much boiled over.

He's extremely talented though. So I hope he figures it out, because it would be terrible to waste that much talent.

I don't think this is the Pelini culture purge some were hoping for.

I'd rather all the kids buy in and work/play hard for these coaches. Any that fail to do so are letting their team, school and fans down and I'd just as soon see anyone in that category leave.

 
Not a big deal. Players transfer when their ego tells them that they're a starter and their talent, or the existing roster talent, tells them otherwise.

We'll be fine without him .

Was really excited to see him play for Nebraska. Guess all that excitement was for nothing.

I was excited to see him come here also, we need his kind of talent. Sometimes crap happens but I don't believe it makes that excitement we felt meaningless.

 
That sucks, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Sounds like there was a lot of issues there that he was working through and seemed to want an easy path to starting. Doesn't usually work that way young man, you'll regret this decision at some point.

Probably, but they should also expect the work that comes with that to be pretty hard and not just handed to them.
