Red Five Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Good luck to Jordan in his future. He had a tough deal not getting admitted into Wisconsin and then having a week to choose his next school. He started a step behind everyone and it didn't seem to work out. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 OK. Not a rumor anymore so.... Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Also heard that Matt Finnin has quit as well. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 What a complete waste of time this ended up being for him and for Nebraska. He comes in late and out of shape knowing playing time will come next year. Then we hear rumors he threatened to transfer unless he was played against Wiscy and then he ends up playing and not doing much of anything. Now he has quit the team. I mean I hope I'm wrong here, but it kinda seems like he expects to be the super star wherever he is on day one. It takes work and loyalty. Got a raw deal at Wiscy, could have really become something here. This is unfortunate. 6 Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 This has more to do with a kid just being a genuine pain in the butt than anything else. It's been nothing but drama with him since he came to Lincoln. Last Saturday it pretty much boiled over. He's extremely talented though. So I hope he figures it out, because it would be terrible to waste that much talent. 1 Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I don't think this is the Pelini culture purge some were hoping for. I'd rather all the kids buy in and work/play hard for these coaches. Any that fail to do so are letting their team, school and fans down and I'd just as soon see anyone in that category leave. Quote Link to comment
Hammerhead Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Was really excited to see him play for Nebraska. Guess all that excitement was for nothing. Quote Link to comment
secretasianman Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Not a big deal. Players transfer when their ego tells them that they're a starter and their talent, or the existing roster talent, tells them otherwise. We'll be fine without him . Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Was really excited to see him play for Nebraska. Guess all that excitement was for nothing. I was excited to see him come here also, we need his kind of talent. Sometimes crap happens but I don't believe it makes that excitement we felt meaningless. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 That sucks, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Sounds like there was a lot of issues there that he was working through and seemed to want an easy path to starting. Doesn't usually work that way young man, you'll regret this decision at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Was looking forward to him and Ozigbo for the next couple years. Bummer Quote Link to comment

Probably, but they should also expect the work that comes with that to be pretty hard and not just handed to them. 2 Quote Link to comment
