STL Husker Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Well these are interesting comments from Lewis: "I hated, despised Nebraska," Alex said. "Before I got any offers, my dad asked me if Nebraska or Colorado offers you, who would you choose? Nebraska was out the door . . . I went to their camp and didn't like much about it at all." Wonder what made him change his mind. http://www.cubuffs.com//ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=600&ATCLID=205086890 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 From that article: Lewis might get his size and temperament from his father Bill, a former NFL O-lineman for eight years, and his flexibility and footwork from his mother, Kimberly, a lifelong dancer who formed the Phoenix Suns dancers and now operates a studio in the Phoenix area.

AllNRed Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Except that would be six years. You know, like every other kid that redshirts and then gets a med red. He just turned 21, he is young for his age. His last year of college football, he would play at 23 years old. Aren't most offensive lineman upperclassmen before they start? This seems like a positive to me. That wouldn't fit your M.O. though. I was pretty old for my age at 21..... Quote Link to comment

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 This kid seems like kind of a turd if you ask me. The comments about Nebraska seemed overly negative and the comments about grayshirting seemed pretty whiny. Then he makes a comment about commitment in regards to the coaching change there. Well, guess he changed his mind on that one too. Hope this kid has grown up some and isn't a prima donna. 1 Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 We are going to need all of the OTs we can get. That position is the only one I'm worried about on offense. Quote Link to comment

Well, guess he changed his mind on that one too. Hope this kid has grown up some and isn't a prima donna. I dunno. Are you *really* going to hold an 18 year old kid's comments against him forever? (I presume he was 18 or so when he made them a couple years back.) He was probably just acting out to impress his new Colorado teammates. Anyway, I'm glad to see him come aboard. We've had pretty good luck developing walk-on O-linemen. edit: As HuskerFowler points out below, not sure that he's a walk-on. He's probably a scholly or gray-shirt. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Why is he being called a walk on? Pretty sure hes going on scholly. He started 15 games for CU. they suck,, but he's got some experience against good competition already. Quote Link to comment

He started 15 games for CU. they suck,, but he's got some experience against good competition already. Colorado is a couple tiers below dogsh*t. Starting for CU is no different than starting on Lincoln Southwest But he's a good get IMO, we lose a lot of o-lineman to start the 2014 season 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So how important is this transfer? Threat Level: Midnight Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Is it Wonderful Monds? Wonder Monds is all alone at second place on my all Husker best names list, right behind, of course, I.M. Hipp. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Most importantly, the mom of this kid is hot!! https://twitter.com/DanceStudio111/status/332933405706702848/photo/1 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Who cares about his mom, I'm more enamored with what Charlie has to say: Sean Callahan @Sean_Callahan27m Charlie McBride on Nebraska's newest transfer Alex Lewis from Colorado: "He's the real deal. He's going to play on Sunday's." I'll trust his talent evaluation. 1 Quote Link to comment
