Farms Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Sam McKewon was hinting on the radio this morning that Zavier Betts could be potentially returning. No doubt he's very talented and it's been stated by the coaches it's one of the biggest positions of need. It be a remarkable story if he would come back and turn it around. 1 Quote Link to comment

I kind of like the idea. I actually think the risk is low. There's so much roster turnover now. Either he makes it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment

Even if he joins the team through spring and they don't think he's a good fit it will likely put him in a better spot to transfer somewhere else. I think he would have a really good shot at being the #1 or #2 outside receiver. Quote Link to comment

Now that the program is run by adults, he has a chance to flourish. 6 1 Quote Link to comment

Interesting that the final thing that drove Betts away last Spring was the "tough-love" approach by Joseph and the WR room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If his legal troubles are behind him and he wants to walk on for a year, then take him. But we have enough fat to trim right now w/o adding another project. 3 Quote Link to comment

If not he can transfer after spring ball and he'll be back in shape. It's kind of a win for both parties I'd think. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

UNL doesn't start 2nd semester classes until 1/23, so there is plenty of time for Betts to figure out if he wants to try and come back to the team, and if Rhule and the staff would be willing to take him back. I agree that there isn't much risk by bringing him back in the Spring semester. Either he does great and earns that scholarship, or he flames out again, and he doesn't count against scholarships for the fall. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 If he doesn’t know by now, let it be. Move on. His heart and mind are not in it obviously. His scholarship is better given to somebody who truly cares. Imo. 1 Quote Link to comment

I would prefer the coaches spend their time with players that know they want to be here and are committed to it. Quote Link to comment

That’s not the point. As a human, I hope he gets it figured out and is successful. But, as a program, we need those 19 year olds that DO have it figured out and come here ready to work. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment
