He wasn’t wrong the first time.

Ultimately that choice is going to go to the player but I’d think Frost or Held would try to at least show Bell the damage he’s doing to himself by leaving now. Especially if we are going withthe “Frost is trying to be honest with the kids” line that cropped up with Gebbia

Demoted? It was a wide open RB race with all three seeing ample time. And it certainly seemed like Frost wanted what Bell had to offer. Seeing how he recruited and signed him when he had a body of work to assess

I guess I’d like to know why he had the mindset frost wanted nine months ago when he signed him, and was getting first team reps in practice this week to needing to removed immediately lest he ruin this team.

Um......

So, Juco transfer Greg Bell, brought in to flip the roster has to get processed for Juco recruits to flip the roster?

In regards to transfers? It’s starting to look like this staff needs to spend more time with communicating with their players to try and keep them engaged, or even on the team. Hell, I’d say Frost is more than qualified to talk about pros and cons about transferring. But obviously I am not in the locker room.

That Charlie Strong isn’t coaching

You, among many others are mistaking criticism for hatred. And yes I feel there’s a problem afoot with the amount of transfers. I’d prefer that he not go down the Charlie Strong at Texas road because that didn’t end well for anyone.

Hey, I just thought of a guy who could have asked him that question and makes 5 million dollars a year.

True. Although there are reports of him getting reps this week in practice and Held said all three were going to see time

This is alarming. He was a Frost recruit and was getting ample reps

The “ice cream”’comment really is starting to reveal more about the poster making it than the player/coach it’s directed to.

I’ve long been of the opinion he got very complacent during his time here. Though I admit I just googled his stats and he had improvement from his freshman to sophomore year. He regressed hard his junior year, then rallied a little his senior near. Maybe it’s just me but my memories of him are tapping his helmet to sub out and stories of him bartending rather than trying to get better. Anyway. Tangent over.

We have had a history of recruits becoming soft/not developing/being complacent and/or seeking greener pastures long before Riley. Off the top of my head: Kenny Bell Chase Rome Todd Peat Aaron Green Jared Afalava

I think the biggest problem with Nebraska general isn’t the Riley recruits, or the frost recruits or whomever. Nebraska has an inordinate amount of higher ranked recruits fail to develop or wash out because Nebraska simply doesn’t have enough of them. Usually we get one or two four star recruits at a position, the fanbase collectively loses its mind over them, and they get to practice and they aren’t pushed by anyone except maybe their position coach. Without another guy of equal rating right behind him, it gets hard to be better. Especially when you know your position is all but cemented barring injury. Now you might get a Spielman every now again who can self motivate, but I really think it’s rare. Its hard to have “good on good” when there isn’t nearly enough good going around. The “stars don’t matter” trope is absolute dreck. We just need more of them. And once they’re here, it needs to make clear they their spot is earned and we can probably do without our verbal commits having an entire blog about them for half a year too.

See it’s funny because reasons.

No. I don’t think he was thrown off the team. Really I just find it strange that he’s gone because he was appearing to be one of the players who was embracing the new staff. And buying in to the point of hurting himself in the weight room. We arent going to ever know but I’d like to know how we got from there to here

We don’t need Joe Dailey We don’t need Harrison Beck We don’t need Blaine Gabbert We don’t need Jonas Gray We don’t need Patrick Witt We don’t need Chase Rome We don’t need Cody Green We don’t need Johnny Stanton We don’t need Vincent Valentine We don’t need Patrick o’Brien We don’t need Tristan Gebbia We don’t need Tyjon Lindsay. We don’t recruit well enough to toss ranked recruits like that away regardless of staff. Past being prelude and all

The blueprint from 20 years ago might not be correct anymore. Frost has proven that he can evolve. He is showing that he needs to again

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?

I don’t remember bringing up Riley once in the thread of him being not fit for being here this year Frost is 0-4, soon to be 0-5 and soon to have a worse record than the aforementioned coach and you’re correct in me questioning things he’s done on the road to this stellar season.

My thought is he’s shown he’s bought in and got kidney failure for his troubles. Now they’re 0-4, soon to be 0-5, people are deciding to scapegoat and he’s leaving. My thought also is depth is a hell of an issue.

Your post has nothing to do with your previous posts. Heres a guy who bought in, got put in the hospital over it, recovered, saw playing time afterwards and is now leaving. Thoughts?
