Nick Gates

[Saunders]

There is a thread on this in the rumor area. Does this one need to be merged there?

We can let it ride for now. It's more than message board talk, but not confirmed yet.

I'm not the one who decided to be an a** for no reason.  But I'm not here to take anyone's crap.

I'm going to give you the same response I give my kids.

I didn't ask who started it, I asked for it to stop.

Thanks.

But you chose to continue it

He is from Vegas.  Maybe he's a gambler.  

My bestie is from vegas and knows his family.  She was a few years ahead of him in school

I said Vincent Valentine should stay another year and he's been marvelous in the NFL. What do I know?

Good luck, Gates. Go raise some hell.

Valentine was a lot better than Gates in college, imho.

 

[Husker from Kansas]

Professional what? The way our offensive line looked, I’m not sure any of them are qualified for the Lingerie Football League.

Idk man. I mean you seen the shape our guys were in. I’m sure they could fill out a Victoria’s Secret Bra fairly well!

I think players should always go early.  

I know Coach Cal at Kentucky, if his players are projected lotto picks (big difference from NFL and Gates situation I know) tells his players they have to go and if they want to stay they have to CONVINCE him as to why they should.

Idk man. I mean you seen the shape our guys were in. I’m sure they could fill out a Victoria’s Secret Bra fairly well!

Uh oh...I know where this will end up!

But you chose to continue it

Or, the instigator could have just kept his hole shut, or not be such a...

Regardless, done with this.

Please, let's not do anything other than wish this guy the best and thank him for his time as a Husker.

 

[Waldo]

wish him the best, but don't see him picked until late rounds........

If by late rounds you mean a fictional 13th round, then yes, I agree. 

 

[Cdog923]

He would be insane to go pro at this point, especially with his apparent lack of a work ethic. 

That being said, if he does go pro, all the best to him.

Good point.

Valentine didn't play a snap this year I don't believe, but he was projected in the 3rd to 4th round range. Not really comparable.

Mind you, this is from some place called "Husker Hype". So, apply your grains of salt appropriately. 

 

[theknife]

This would mean a Juco or Grad Transfer is almost a must

Given how delusional our prior staff was about the level of effort, discipline, work ethic, etc. is necessary to succeed, it wouldn’t be too surprising if some of that rubbed off on the players. I almost feel sorry for the players that are left. If they’ve forgotten how to work, the offseason is going to feel like SEAL training.
