Tyjon Lindsey No Longer a Husker

He doesn't want to play duck receiver. It's why he flipped from Ohio State. If someone switched an end to LB or a corner to safety and they weren't feeling it, would be normal for them to go. Same type of thing here. 

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, but sees itself as a primary receiver...not a duck

So then buy in was the issue

I’m thinking that Tyjon sees himself as an NFL-caliber receiver and wants to play in a pro style offense to showcase his skill to get to the next level.  

Frost’s offense, which relies heavily on the WR’s perimeter blocking (maybe paramount, see Warner).. isn’t what Tyjon signed up for when choosing NU.

No hard feelings, good luck to him.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him reunite with Gebbia up at the Beaver lodge.

Wasn’t there a WR from UCF who was drafted in 2018? The whole “pro style” offense excuse is garbage. There are plenty of NFL receivers who were in spread systems in college.  Also, if you have seen the NFL so far this year, the offenses are shifting more and more to college-type, spread offenses.  Riley’s offense was a dinosaur.

Frost is the coach. He’s going to be the coach for a long time. I’m very cool with that 

Here’s the thing though. You can say “well he clearly wasn’t what frost wanted” but that’s a way easier sell when you aren’t about to be 0-5.

Like if you’re 3-2 and Lindsay wants to bounce, hey!  Go nuts. 

This isnt the situstion. We need depth. We need talent. He’s talented. And he bought in to the point of being hospitalized. What’s changed?

Maybe he didn't "buy in" as much as you think he did? Under Willams and Walters (both very good coaches), he didn't do much of anything. Contrast that to a guy like JD who has flourished under those guys. I wish Tyjon well, but he simply didn't pan out. I'll take a "lower ranked" guy like JD who is tough as nails and productive.

Honest question: what has Tyjon Lindsey done on a football field, in a Nebraska uniform, to warrant this much consternation over his transfer?

No. He bulked up so much this summer he put himself in the hospital. He looks like an entirely different person now than he did last season. 

Sometimes, the fit just isn't right. 

This is a kid who chose Lincoln over all those places we envy. He could have gone anywhere and picked the Huskers. 

Wish him the best.  

 
This is what happens when highly touted recruits aren't required to put in any work then all of a sudden are held accountable for their production.  This is yet another Riley blunder.

He wanted to leave a few months ago anyways.  This has a lot to do with buy in.

This is incorrect.  His hospitalization was during winter workouts.

Buy-in - maybe even buy-in once the season started - is a huge factor, given the fact he was demoted to the freshman locker room.

The timeline of his hospitalization doesn't really matter.  He didn't have to go to the hospital because he wasn't buying in.

No need to bash the kid.

Not this again....

one can sit here all day and say he worked himself to being hospitalized so he bought in.  The other can say that he went there because he didn’t push himself hard enough before conditioning and was that out of shape.  Regardless, how hard you work out DOES NOT indicate buying in.  Attitude and participation on the field is that factor. 

There is is no denying he was considering leaving this summer. Strike 1.    He was moved to the other locker room based off of attitude and was one directly called out by the coach. Strike 2.   He transferred mid season and QUIT on his teammates.  Strike 3.   3 strikes and you’re out,  he didn’t buy in.  End of story.
