huskerguy Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I read something about some academic concerns with qualifying at Nebraska... any truth to that sort of thing? I hate even bringing it up because it attaches sort of a negative stigma. I'm gusssing it's more than likely an attempt to rationalize a last minute switch? Quote Link to comment

I said before that something was not right when he picked up the OS hat. He just did look happy about it. It's not that he wasn't happy. He was overcome with the emotions of a long process and deciding to go a different route to play with his best friend. He literally said this. Not sure why everyone is trying to come up some grand conspiracy theory. That's the kind of thing that keeps people from looking at things rationally. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I really dont think that was the case. He qualified for ND for petes sake, and isn't there some qualifying requirements for the Army game? It wouldnt have been a surprise to Coach Dub, and Riley wouldnt have retweeted him this morning if it was an academic issue. I do think he panicked for some reason - dont know why. 1 Quote Link to comment

Momma and her helicopter. And Mav, if you think that was just emotions after long drawn out decision you need to watch it again. That was like no commitment ive seen. He seemed distraught to me. 1 Quote Link to comment

When did he seem like this? After he put on the hat? Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Video interview after the game. Basically the same answers. Said he'll probably take his last visit but doesn't know where. Quote Link to comment

Eh, people see what they want to see I guess. His voice completely cracks when he talks about playing with his best friend. Quote Link to comment

Could be nothing but to me it seemed like something was there and pretty obvious the coaches were surprised. Quote Link to comment

The kid committed to us in person before the dead period and left us high and dry today without telling us. He was very close to coach williams so i would imagine it was hard for him to go back on his word Quote Link to comment

Speech or public speaking classes you hear some kids who are comfortable speaking to a lot of people sound like that. Quote Link to comment
Snowbird Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Need to just move on from this kid. Something was always wrong, that's why he never openly committed. Quote Link to comment
