Yeah i know none of it is new, i just got fed up with hearing these kids talk to be honest. A lot of the things i hear are just mind-blowing and sometimes flat out pathetic. I was just venting. I'm over it now

I'm sorry professor, let me give you a structure.

1. Educating these players better.

a. These kids need to be educated more so they can present themselves in a correct manner which enables them to garner respect not only as an athlete but as a student as well.

b. Its very important because with more education they start to see things a whole lot differently. They don't choose schools for dumb and immature reasons.

c. That is very important because then they can make better decisions about what university they will be attending for the next 4-5 years and also choose a place that can help them grow and see life in new and enlightening ways.

d. Thats important because it makes these STUDENT athletes a lot more well-rounded.

2. They need to realize that some schools are going to baby them and give them what they want but not what they need. Nebraska is one of those schools that molds these kids into men no matter what kind of year they had on the football field.

a. My rant on race. In no way shape of form was it a bash on any kind. It was a partial generalization that cannot be determined for every individual. Despite that there is much truth to it and it needs to be fixed.

b. My part about the mothers being involved. I have no problem with a parent guiding their son to a clearly better choice or making the son evaluate everything but basically making the decisions for them is wrong. Regardless if that means we lose a recruit or two. If a kid is going somewhere because of some immature reason then i get it but picking for them because you want to control their lives is wrong.

3. I completely disagree. You can go to talent heavy places like Orgeron and score some elite talent and i better hope he can do something with them, i mean cmon hes a coach. I'll go with the, what have you done lately? Despite the fact that Carl and JP are the "defensive line coaches" it still all goes through BO and I'd like to believe you know that. So then it comes down to Bo vs Orgeron. Not even close if you ask me. Also Devante Wilson's line was thrown in there because it was a ludicrous statement and he clearly was brainwashed and unaware of plenty. I'm sure he remembers those players collegiate careers, not.

I'm about an hour away from leaving to SD for the game but i wanted to say something about recruits. As a sociology major i understand that a lot of these kids come from low-income households which enables them to have the greatest of opportunities without having immense athletic talent but after reading these interviews by players and the things that come out their mouth makes me do things like this all the time. These kids need to be educated a whole lot more in high school so they can make BETTER decisions going into college. Some of it is because they are in "unfortunate" situations but there really is no excuse to not be able to carry yourself in a professional manner. Also some of the things they say tells me how badly they've been brainwashed and i hate to say that most of these kids do not have father figures so when a coach comes in and brainwashes them, they become robots and listen. I believe Devante Wilson said something about USC having better coaches? he clearly isn't all too bright and doesn't watch college ball. I know for a fact some players don't go to schools because its not "black" enough for them and that they cannot be "black" and have to act as an adult and become a man. Now i know not all players are african american and that there are many of them who are level headed and do things correctly but i'm not afraid to mention what everyone else is thinking. Its no secret. There's a much higher number of kids who are pretty ignorant in that sense. Another thing i cannot stand. When you leave the nest to become a man, its YOUR decision. These kids need to stop relying on MOM to make their final decisions. Unless they are going for all the wrong reasons like i mentioned. Education needs to be stressed in high school a lot more because these kids don't take it serious when they are in the recruiting process and thats why they pick the schools and do not benefit them in all facets of life. I see a lot of players going into the draft still boys and not men. I love how i can honestly say that Nebraska does things the right way and brings in boys and sends out men.

I think Josh didn't help his cause any this summer when he got in the coaches dog house. I believe it had to do with drinking and it was Josh and two other players. I am pretty sure it was mentioned in a thread once upon a football season ago.

 

It is a shame because the coaches were pretty high on him and he was considered a "diamond in the rough type" player from Cali's Inland Empire. I know Crabtree was high on the kid as well.

 

Best of luck to the kid.

This is exactly right. I heard the whole thing go down over the phone, my friend was working the front desk at Harper when him and Lazarri Middleton got back after getting MIPs, Josh was just on a recruiting visit. Talk about starting off on the wrong foot. Too bad for him, wish him well.

 

and thats why Lazarri hasn't played a down all year. he too was in the dog house and from what i had heard was the third best CB on the team. Prince had mentioned he was right there with them.

 

hard to believe...

Believe it. Now when i say CB, im not talking in the category of gomes and Hagg because those are not their positions. Prince kept saying that he, dennard, and Lazarri were the ones getting reps as the ones. Since Lazarri got thrown in the dog house, they had to put Ciante in. It makes sense. How do you play with the ones during camp. Then not sniff a down either on d or special teams? the dude can play. ask anyone.

He just changed his facebook name to Tevin "Just took 8 steps back from my dream" Mitchel. These kids need to be educated.

Like anyone i hope Tevin does stay. he has all the potential in the world. If he chooses Ark then good luck to him but i know it will be because of what Ark is promising him and not what Nebraska can possibly give him. The SEC cheats. we all know that. In my opinion, the choice is a no brainer. Nebraska isnt a D-line U or DB-U, its a Defensive-U. That alone would do it for me. Academics are leaps and bounds over Ark (but as we know thats not a reason). He will struggle and only get recognition because he has all the physical tools but he will always be a project at ark. He should think about the long run at N. Spend time with your family now and suffer the long term consequences of not being a top prospect and not being able to make millions to support your family and also grow to be a man or go to N and become all of that and be apart of the blackshirt tradition and get that Big Ten Degree and be a top ten pick ( if he gets the grooming like prince and dennard, there is no doubt because he's a little more physically gifted than them)

Hasn't ruled us out, but feels like he jumped the gun a bit and wants to make sure.

based off his article on scout. it sounds like we were head and shoulders over everyone. i dont understand his reason

I see Tevin is now a "soft verbal" on Rivals. Anyone know if this has changed or if he has been "soft verbal" ever since committing. Many of the other commits (maybe all of them, I did not check them all) are solid verbal commits. I don't blame a guy for wanting to stay closer to home. Just wonder if he considers the defensive coaching he will receive here compared to Arkansas.

its been like that ever since he decided to visit ark.

decommited

Carl visited him, Scout has a new article on it. anyone have details?

Nobody has even said if those were the recruits names on the lockers.

They were

Ha, maybe Princeton Jackson? that would be cool

Who is it?

Isnt that some sort of simulation? kinda like when they would simulate a gameday environment?

I'm assuming someone is looking through the rule book as we type lol

i know ill get some flack for it. but if you are his friend on fbook. you'll see some evidence. and i wonder if there was any ncaa violation in it. it looks fishy to me. his new pictures on the ark visit is what im talking about

 

nvm, they're gone, for obvious reasons im sure

 

What were they, exactly?

He was wearing a Arkansas Jersey with his number and name on it and they even gave him his own locker. with his name and number on it

i know ill get some flack for it. but if you are his friend on fbook. you'll see some evidence. and i wonder if there was any ncaa violation in it. it looks fishy to me. his new pictures on the ark visit is what im talking about

nvm, they're gone, for obvious reasons im sure

Rivals also has a note on Charles. anyone?

Rivals has a note on him, anyone?

How did he like it?

I've mentioned before, seen him play multiple times..not nebraska material

What's the point in being committed? he's obviously not and I don't see him coming here. Bye Tevin

Brion is bigger than Taylor. I know he hasnt played but I'm gonna bet he's pretty good. Also Tom Osborne gave Brion some praise. To be honest, i see everyone mentioning Taylor and Jamal and even Bubba alot. but the way it goes in life. Its the one everyone forgets about is the one who comes through. In my opinion this will be Brion's team eventually. He isn't as fast as taylor but he can take it to the house and he's got great moves. Something taylor lacks

Hey at least we can spend some time in San Diego. thats always nice. Now for the moment im a little mad because this is where we wouldve played USC but since they are ineligible it had to be washington. Im sure if it was USC we would all be happier

Well at least ill be able to see them again. I live in Orange County and I was hoping they would come. Washington Three years in a row is what its gonna be or at least looking like. At least i can see my huskers. Our Defense is better this time though guys.. and Our O will be fine
