cheekygeek Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 It is possible that this (not being on the team, as of now) is: a) Tough Love from which there may yet be a return path if he gets his head screwed on straight or b) a way to absolve the program of responsibility or reerecussions for his actions (past, present, and possibly future).

Huskers93-97 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 This whole thing on his part is ridiculous. You have legal problems in California. I imagine it doesnt help his character image when he is getting in trouble at his college. 2 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I’m all for giving guys multiple chances but it sounds like he’s been given the chances and is all about himself. I will trust the coaches (and the team) on this one obviously, but I’d prefer we just mutually go our separate ways with him. 1 Quote Link to comment

There is a lot of pressure to perform in the classroom & on the field. He has very little support staff that he trusts. He is young & stupid. I do not condone his actions, but maybe he needs to hit rock bottom before realizing what he might be throwing away. 6 1 Quote Link to comment

Mo hasn't gotten to that point yet and idk if he will May take a change of scenery and some time at a Juco before Mo gets to that point. Hoping that he figures it out sooner...but these are kids we're talking about here, one of which looking at a very serious legal issue. Logic isn't their specialty in these situations...which is why you have to do what you can, leave the door open, and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Personally, of course watching from afar, he has become more of a problem than he is a benefit. Other kids are losing out on coaching time, because of his supposed antics. I am really tired of hearing how he has never had any guidance. Most coaches that I have met are truly into kids and want to help them. Of course there are those that are only about the win, but hopefully those are the minority. I would like to see him return if Coach Frost thinks he has done what is needed to get back. But if not, get the hell out. We need a team, the team needs to be first. Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I just hope wherever he ends up it's somewhere with structure and guidance for his sake whether it's NU, JUCO or somewhere else. I'm less worried about him as a football player and more worried about him as a person. If he ends up out on his own there's a good chance the trouble he's in will only continue to grow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Deangelo Evans was the next great superstar 20 yrs ago. For reasons different than Washington he ended up of all places at Emporia State and I played against him my senior year. He was nothing special. He had lost weight, lost a step of speed, wasn’t really that tough, and you could tell he was just going through the motions; even on tape. If Washington doesn’t figure it out here, chances are he’ll get unmotivated, drop what muscle he does have, not be studying film, feel sorry for himself, get worse friends, etc etc. I hope he has a path back to the Huskers and I hope it’s a tough path. But don’t kid yourself, if he doesn’t make it here he isn’t making it anywhere. And I mean just finishing school and being productive in his 20s, let alone some kind of football star. I hope he he makes it back and proves what his ability has shown. 2 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 @I am I Not everyone winds up like that, though. I mean, let's not forget that Washington's replacement as the starter is a guy who was kicked off the team following repeated rules violations and suspensions at Georgia Tech, and so far I haven't heard of any issues with him... 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 My hope for Mo Washington is the same as it is for any troubled young person: get your $h!t together and become wildly successful in your life. If Nebraska can benefit from that, all the better, but if not, good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 A Div 1 coach's emotional and personal commitment to a troubled young man is directly proportional to the kid's Ave. YPC. Exceed 5.1 and we are willing to guide you through the challenges of life and help you overcome a disadvantaged childhood, current criminal charges, addiction and dependency. Now if we also have a trouble free kid who can do the same, then its " here's the door fellow, and an application for McDonalds. 1 Quote Link to comment
