Senior pointed out some things that go beyond the marijuana in that clip. To be frank, Jr wasn't very good this spring and fell into a pattern of laziness. Not being good at football and then not trying hard is two things you shouldn't combine while on full scholarship.
He has to show us he wants to play college football and do what is expected of him before we even talk about getting over the marijuana thing. We have guys on the team that smoke right now that we are managing, you just can't compound that with other things like KJJ is doing.
Right. If he doesn't work at his craft, he would never see the field for Nebraska with the guys we have coming in. He was behind walk-ons.I noticed that as well. Particularly when KJ Sr made a reference to how he's not living vicariously through his son and that he doesn't have to play football

Trying to get them to stop.Managing? Like where the local dealers can be found? Or a rehab center?
JMO but KJSr's action feels like a Hail Mary. If people are questioning Jrs dedication a few months into his freshman year - then it makes sense what Sr did. Correct me if I'm wrong - Jr's 5 year clock started in JAN 17 - he's effectively burned his redshirt season. Not to mention Sr knows his son isn't ultra talented. His only chance to excel is going to be thru hard work and dedication. Kudos to the youngster if it happens but no one should be surprised if he 'flames' out.Trying to get them to stop.
I would agree. Honestly, this may be the best thing right now because KJJ was redshirting for sure, and who knows what would happen when all he was doing was practicing and not getting to play. Not to mention he's high profile, and what would be said if he's not seeing the field from people who don't know the situation? He needed to get so much better than he was to sniff the field for us, and wasn't putting in the work. He basically has until January to prove he wants to play football at a big boy program.JMO but KJSr's action feels like a Hail Mary.

I was in a text group that put the over/under for him being at Nebraska at 18 months. I always thought he was overrated but his value for other reasons superceded that. When he was committed, our staff new up front he was going to have to make drastic strides in work ethic, and I'm sure the appendectomy didn't help. But when a kid gets back from surgery and doesn't do everything he can to rehab, it's a red flag. Without going into too much detail, the kid is a WR running routes all day in equipment and still was not fit.Did the appendectomy have something to do with that or was he always rated maybe a little better than he actually was?
Sounds possible, but then again...the wrong crowd may not be team members.So do we have a 'Weed" and a "Wrong Crowd" problem on this team?
