I know the social media aspect is different but Kobe actually played in the NBA at the same time as Jordan and I don't remember much hate and Kobe was talked about a lot on Sport center/ESPN.  I know he got the normal up and comer talk of being the "next Jordan" but not necessarily saying he looks and plays like Jordan.  I guess the common man was just yelling hate at the TV since there was no X or Instagram 

That was an era where they focused more on the sport itself on SportsCenter, just like MTV used to actually play music.  It's not the same world anymore.

You mean an era where programing is actually what the network says they are going to do?  Interesting idea.

Just ignore the line about the redshirt season.

 

Quote

Garcia: FACT. Jacory Barney was one of the more electric players in fertile South Florida as a prep standout. He was always making plays at various positions, but most expected him to excel with the ball in his hands at the next level. It was only a matter of time before he focused on one position and added to his slight frame, seemingly accomplished last year during his redshirt season at Nebraska.

 

Now, we see Barney getting touches manufactured in the NU offense, whether as a pass-catcher or runner behind the line of scrimmage. That type of juice has not been seen much at Florida State this year, and the lack of versatility among Florida Gators wide receivers has made the program one dimensional against FBS opponents this fall. Barney did not even claim scholarship offers from FSU or UF. Even UCF passed. Miami was in the mix, but he wasn't a priority when it came down to his pick.

 

Smith: FACT. Nebraska has always worked hard to recruit South Florida and it's had success in the past landing players from there. So it wasn’t a shock when he landed at Nebraska. But the fact that the in-state programs were so lukewarm on the playmaker was baffling. It looks worse already in hindsight because he’s a big part of what the Huskers are doing on an offense that has some excitement around it.

 

Florida State really dropped the ball here. Its receiving corps has struggled in a major way this season (though QB play doesn’t help) and could use a playmaker like Barney. The speedster is going to make a lot of plays in Lincoln and leave people wondering what the Florida programs were thinking.

He made the right call not going to FSU that's for certain
