Who/What is the source?

If any (or all) of the backs transfer, I wish them the best. They need to do what's best for them. A four back semi-rotation justifies it. If I'm a part time college player wanting to go to the next level, I'd consider it. But being from Omaha, I'd stick it out at UNL naturally.

NFL is mostly about the stupid combines anyway.

= Somewhere in this wonderful and insightful board has a write up about Callahan and the Raiders, his final season, where those guys lead the league in rushing with a four back committee. The fourth back in that rotation is our RB coach Randy Jordan. Hmmm.. anyways.

I heard this second hand from someone that talked to an assistant coach in Liberal. This coach received a phone call from KW after the Texas game.

did he really expect to come in and take over right away. not playing in the system and having to learn the playbook, blocking assingments, ect ect ect.

and if he transfers to another school he will have to learn that system all over again. he would have to go to 1-AA school or he looses a year of eligibility.

i wouldnt do it, cant look good to the NFL scouts IMO

What I heard is that he will transfer to a lower division school

Another one to UNO?

 
well if he is not happy at NU then he has to go, because one bad apple will spoil the bunch.

there is no "I" in team, and apparently there is no "WE" either

 
If he transfers, so be it. I love Lucky, Glenn & BJax. They're all outstanding backs.

Now, I'd be concerned if anyone got injured... :o

 
In the Lincoln Journal Star today:

Jordan: Wilson still working hard

Junior college transfer Kenny Wilson has taken a back seat in Nebraska’s I-back “committee,” as he has carried only three times for 2 yards in the last four games.

“He’s still in there (at practice) working extremely hard,” Husker running backs coach Randy Jordan told the Big Red Breakfast crowd Friday in Omaha.

Jordan said he preaches patience to all of his I-backs.

“My job as a coach sometimes is to be Dr. Phil,” said the coach in reference to Phil McGraw, a psychologist with a syndicated television show, who often urges people to “get real.”

Said Jordan: “My job is to keep my guys tight-knit.”

When talking to his I-backs about playing time, Jordan said, he often draws upon words of wisdom from two former Oakland Raiders teammates, Jerry Rice and Tim Brown.

“They always said, ‘Don’t be one of those guys who says, ‘Everything is fine as long as I got mine.’ ” In other words, the team is most important, Jordan said.

Junior Brandon Jackson, meanwhile, “is developing into a very good back,” Jordan said. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound junior in the last four games has rushed 66 times for 430 yards, or 6.5 per carry.

BLOCKING BACK: Senior fullback Dane Todd has two receptions this season, but no carries. In fact, he hasn’t had a rushing attempt since the 2003 season. Don’t look for one any time soon, according to Jordan.

“I’ll be very frank, Dane Todd is not a runner – not a runner,” Jordan said when asked if Todd might sometime be used on a trap play. “Dane’s job in this offense is to block for the I-back. And he does a darned good job of it . . . I think we have better, more efficient runners.”

 
he is a junior right ....so if he transferred what good would that really do for him....he just needs to work harder.....what is it he is not doing well that he is not playing??

 
I wouldn't worry too much about this, The conversation could of been about transfering into Nebraska and it got mixed up along the lines to this board.

Yeah, but you said that you heard it second hand from someone else. There is a better opportunity of what was said and what was reported here to be mixed up as it crossed a few different people since coming our of KW's mouth.

 
I read a rumor yesterday in regards that Kenny might be looking to transfer; well I had to find out if was true.

Here is an email that I sent to Kenny along with his reply.

I hate to forward messages on, but when I have access, I want to use to my advantage and find out the truth.

This is going around on Husker Discussion Boards; is it true?

"Rumor has it that Kenny Wilson is transfering after the semester is over. If it's true then it's too bad, but I don't blame the guy for wanting some PT."

 
well, if that is really Kenny, then that makes more sense than him just up and transferring. I would rather see him returning kicks than Hardy though. I almost vomited when I saw him take the kick 8 yards deep out of the end zone and not even sniff the 10.
