Or what Smith and Urb told him at OSU where he originally committed. I assume that Meyer told him the same thing he tells all the other guys. Prove yourself on special teams and learn how to block or else you won't see the field. Sometimes it takes a while for guys to understand that and sometimes they move on to other programs. On a side note, the OSU Lindsey/Grimes commitment video didn't age well. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think he would come off scholarship in December. So maybe then? 1 Quote Link to comment

I originally was just correcting you by stating he was put in the hospital after one practice, not after a summer of bulking. As for your question, over the first few games he doesn't look like he was that out of shape more so he lacked effort. There is a reason he was pulled from the game and, as others and myself have stated, demoted to the freshman locker room. I agree with you there. I just feel as if he signed up for one thing, his role was changed to another, and he is doing what is best for him. Quote Link to comment

We have every indication that each player has been given the guidelines as to what it takes to thrive and get playing time for this program. So if a kid leaves...what conclusion should we rationally draw about the situation? 4 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lindsey hadn't been playing much, and when he was flagged for holding against Purdue, killing a much-needed third-down conversion, I just had this feeling he was never going to make it on Frost's team. The replay showed it was a ticky-tack call, but when you saw Tyjon running dejectedly to the sideline.....I guess this news isn't totally unexpected. Quote Link to comment

Really I just find it strange that he’s gone because he was appearing to be one of the players who was embracing the new staff. And buying in to the point of hurting himself in the weight room. We arent going to ever know but I’d like to know how we got from there to here 1 Quote Link to comment

There are other factors involved like going to class, being a good teammate, eating meals at the training table, and other items which Frost is enforcing with the team. You keep on pointing out one aspect of Lindsey "buying in", but there is more to buying in than just working out to the point of hospitalization. 1 Quote Link to comment
