Huskers Interested in Suspended Florida Transfer

[bleedNUred]

I think he deserves a second chance, and if he can help our football team then great. If he messes up again then let him go.

Likely Frost and crew have done a bit of background research; interviews, character surveys, etc cetera before staking a bit of their (and somewhat the program's) reputation on the future behavior of a player with one strike already...

 

[I am I]

Banderas and some other players by all accounts had a bicycle theft program on campus for bikes left after school was out. He got a second chance. 

I say say give this kid a second chance.

I'm not defending what the guy did, but it's not like this kid beat someone up or sexually assaulted a woman.  The kid used some stolen credit card numbers.  I know I have stolen things in my past.  I'm not proud of it, but a lot of people do stupid things as 18-20 year old kids.

Yeah this applies to me too.  What he did definitely should not automatically end his college football career.

Meh, what Banderas did was arguably not as bad as the credit card thing.  As I understand it, Bando and buddies gathered up the bikes that had been chained up for weeks around campus and were left abandoned when everyone went home for summer.  I'm not saying what he did was right.  It was stealing.  OTOH, at some point the University would have gathered those bikes up and hauled them off someplace.   

That said, I don't think the credit card theft should necessarily end Kadeem Telfort's college career.

I keep thinking back to Alex Lewis. Different crimes, but... I'm leaning toward nope.

If he was 6' 3", his actions would be inexcusable.

But 6' 6"?

We could use some of that.

 

[TGHusker]

No. He’s at juco right now. Will be available in December because he qualified out of high school. 

Some conflicting statements - will he be eligible to play in August or have to wait until our Conference Championship( ) game?

Absolutely, he'd be just the guy you want leading the blocking on a jailbreak screen.

He is clearly good at taking charge... or racking up charges.

Agreed.   Im disappointed we offered.

He’s a 2019 class kid.  He was at Florida last year, now he’s at junior college. He will be able to play for the Husker’s the 2019 football season. Without sitting out. 

if he were to come directly to Nebraska right now he would have to sit out a year. 

 

[The Dude]

I struggle with the "2nd chances" justification when we're talking about as many a 30 charges.

30 strikes and your out, I've always said.

Are you taking credit for that one?

kind of risky as a new coach.........hope this works out........but i have my doubts.
