skersfan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The only thing I know for fact is that Dillard and Pelini were not close over incidents during his recruitment. I was amazed when he stayed last year. I do not know if that is the situation at this time or if it is even part of the situation. We have heard that he was not as motivated last year and his playing time showed that. Who knows. He was a very highly touted recruit, but just seems not up to par. I have heard nothing about him not being with the team. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 if he is still on board, wouldn't you think he would be ready to bust his a$$ and show up this year? otherwise, why bother hanging around? Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 94, This particular incident was one of my hang ups with Coach Pelini. This was a bad deal and it hurt our recruiting that year I am sure. But with Phil staying last year I thought they had worked things out and certainly may have. I am not as connected with the program as I was during Phillips recruitment. Either way he needs to man up and do what he was brought here to do. Coach Pelini has made me a believer in him. Things happen and you have to get past them. Hopefully this is just a rumor and he is still with the team and is working hard to be what we expected him to be. He has not had an easy life with BC and the reason he came to Nebraska being hired to be his coach. My guess shock would be the words he used to describe how he felt. He had the talent supposedly to be an All American, and I know all the top programs wanted him. It is time for him to show or go. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Last I heard Dillard has cleaned up his act and had a strong summer. I also heard his spring ball status was an issue with showing up to camp overweight or unmotivated or both. Whatever the reasons were, though, I hope he finds his way back to a starting position and finishes his career strong for Nebraska. He's one of those defensive seniors we'd rather not be without.

HuskerJen Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The rumor: Dilliard is in Pelini's doghouse. The reason: I have no clue. Quote Link to comment

topekahusker Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 According to Carl at our picnic last Saturday Dillard is 'back' and is challenging hard not only for playing time but to start. He had a great summer. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMack Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 According to Carl at our picnic last Saturday Dillard is 'back' and is challenging hard not only for playing time but to start.

He had a great summer. That is great to here for him. Glad to here he has gotten things together! That IS great news. A healthy, aggressive and motivated Dillard would be a HUGE boon for that defense. We have some speed and talent at LB but they're largely untested and young. Having a SR there to lead that group would be invaluable. Here's to a great Fall Camp for Dillard, and not only getting out of the "dog house" but earning that starting spot. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I hope he has things figured out. It would be nice to have a senior lead this young group....although is he the right senior to lead with the issues he had last year. If he is back, I hope he sees the field and makes some big plays... Quote Link to comment
RedNLeader Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Yeah it would be nice to see that things are being worked out. Since wasnt he the one that came in a couple of seasons ago and provided spark to the defense when no one was playing all that intense. It would also be nice to have that senior leadership out there on the field. Quote Link to comment
Alamo City Husker Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 It is against the DOGGY ACT to talk about anyones dogs or their property and completly unethical. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 guess we will find out soon enough, if he is really back, he should make some noise on day one. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The rumor: Dilliard is in Pelini's doghouse. The reason: I have no clue. http://www.journalstar.com/sports/article_...1cc4c03286.html What about Phillip Dillard? He was down on the depth chart this spring? Pelini said everyone would have a chance to start and said: "I don't have a doghouse." Take it for what it's worth Quote Link to comment
