Hey Zacharias broke the Tre Neal news. I trust him.

 

I'm not familiar with him as a poster, so I wasn't sure if he was just picking a likely guy to transfer, or if he had some info.

Are you suggesting those people can't read that quote? Messageboards are speaking to everyone at all times.

 

Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

They could be carried!

In segment 5 this morning Benning was talking about how this week at camp was big in several ways and said to expect several players to be leaving. Not unexpected as the depth chart sorts itself out. He didn't mention any names but a caller talked about Roberts and it was brought up that he hadn't been mentioned much and really hadn't lived up to expectations. It was a pretty good segment with Benning staying on point for the most part.

Any news on Jalin Barnett transferring 

He was forced to medically retire. Too many concussions.

You’ve got all the goods. Please don’t get in trouble.

Sounds like Avery leaving is probably why Collin Miller was moved inside... Coaches saw it coming

This would hurt a bit, but if he isn't buying in it is best to part ways.

 

 

Not really, since we've had 4+ months of hearing he wasn't doing well to soften the blow.

Is this just you shooting your shot, or do you have some proof?

 

 

I could have sworn one or more of the coaches actually said he needed to work on his fitness, but don't ask me to remember when and who. It was during the spring.

Edit: Ok I found it. There may have been more comments than this one from April 14.

 

Quote

"He's got to get in shape and he's got to get his movements a lot better," Ruud said. "He's a smart kid and he's worked hard at it, but his movements aren't where they need to be and his conditioning's not where it needs to be, so the summer's going to be huge for him. I think he needs to lose a little bit of weight and I think he needs to really, really buy in to what Coach (Zachary) Duval wants him to do this summer."

No suprise after the above comments in the spring (that seemed like a shot across his bow at the time) and no indication since that he has made any move.  He might as well go where he has a chance to play some day.

Or Ruud thought Miller was a better player than Avery and Ruud moved Miller to ILB so Miller could be part of the 4-man rotation at ILB this year and be a starter next year.

Good luck, Mr. Roberts. 

[The Dude]

I had high hopes for him.  Oh well.

[Huskerzoo]

So at this point this probably fits in rumorville. I'm just going to edit the title but do please try to be mindful.

If this is true, how many could we sign for the next class? 27?

If he attended classes than we would have to eat it until spring 2019.  If he didn’t it could be used on a walk-on immediately, is my understanding.
