Well, it sounds like he is a prima donna with out the grades to back it up. I guess it is a good thing we've both moved along.
Thanks, I'm glad you guys are on here to set me straight. I apologize for misinterpreting the post. I hope Blades can get his academics in order and can be successful. I am one who was a poor student his freshman year but have gone on to get graduate degrees, so it is possible to persevere and I certainly don't begrudge the young man.
I think we need to set the bar to compete with them on the recruiting front as far as who we want. Tyjon Lindsey, Bookie, Moore, those guys all are on Ohio State's wish list, we just won't get the quantity of them that Ohio State will so where I take issue is when we sign a class and someone says "that's not going to get us competing with Ohio State or Alabama!" We aren't there yet, not even close, so that's not what we are working towards yet.
Didn't Riley recently say DB's were like gold? Don't fool yourself, down the road if he qualifies, there will be many P5 schools knocking at his door.I am not going to be as nice. His tweet comes off as sour grapes. He is acting like a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum. Not sure any P5 schools will touch him after this. Guys like this can be locker room poison.

This is kind of my point. He is the one that failed to qualify. Yet he blames our coaches for "tricking him?"How did Nebraska trick him if by NCAA standards he isn't eligible?
Partial qualifier I don't believe was a realistic option for him. He didn't qualify, and knows we can't comment on it. He's trying to make himself look good, but the reality is he messed up. Literally the only reason Nebraska is tougher to qualify for than other places is the extra math class, but we weren't waiting for that, we were waiting for an ACT score.This is kind of my point.

Well, Blades is an idiot that i'm glad we don't have, but his talent can't be denied. I think he was closer to another Jordan Stephenson than Charles Jackson.
But not taking a DB at all in the 2017 class is puzzling to me. I get we switched coaches, but it makes us very thin for 2017 and extremely young for 2018.
