I think you're right that there's more to the story. If you hear anything from your most accurate source and because rumorville vanished, you should probably post it here. Politeness dictates not to pass along any dirt about POB but if Frost encouraged POB to leave, it would provide insight to how Frost and his staff operate, what they won't tolerate... etc., all of which would be reflected in who they recruit.
I posted this earlier, but Frost stated that the spring game performance will not be the deciding factor on who are the front runners moving forward. The evaluations for spring are done by then. Also said he'd sit down with each player and let them know exactly where they stand. He will also get their opinion as to their thoughts.
I hope this is the case, or maybe he is medically OK, but he just need to get it back in shape after not throwing for a year. I don't like the sound of a QB with a lingering shoulder injury.
Of course he will. He knows that transfer QBs get to start and keep the starting job no matter how many pick sixes they throw.
For the time being, it will be fine to post what may have gone into Rumorville into the main football forum. If you want to start the thread title as "Rumor:" that would be OK.
I think this could certainly be a part of it all. The mental aspect of overcoming those injuries can be just as critical as the physical side.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but what do you expect them to say? The coaches are going to treat this as business-like as possible, and they have a big job to do. They can't waste time trying to craft the perfect response to take into account a player's feelings. The position coach is probably a little pissed that the player is quitting in the middle of spring practice, just because of his place on the depth chart.
I think the days of Wiscy nailing it to the Huskers a rapidly coming to an end. We've got a coach now who really knows what it should mean to be a Husker.It would suck pretty bad if he transferred to Wisconsin and then beat us.
