Breaking Deondre Jackson not N, maybe? (Edit)

The whole sequence on the RB hire was hysterical. He says Frost has interviewed a couple of people but it's more important to get this right than fast, so it might take a while. A couple of hours later, Frost hires one of the guys it previously was important not to hire just to be fast, and then Dean has to slobber all over the hire, pretending he didn't write the thing he posted at the top of his board earlier in the day.

It would be hard to watch if it were someone else.

I don't hate him, but the way he has to spin everything into how he was right all along is really fucking annoying.
The “thin-skin” factor with the Deabster is high.

So in your scenario you are expecting DJ to see what the doc couldn't and only the specialist could?
I'm saying b/c DJ didn't know his academics were bad, he didn't even know he had a fracture. Dude, I don't know what the situation is with his shit. I stick by what I said earlier. If he took care of his shit and understood where he was at academically maybe this all could have been avoided.

Most student athletes don't pay attention to their academics, bad on them, but they are more worried about "what classes do I have to take to stay eligible for football". This case it bit him in the ass. So go back to A&M, get your academics right, keep in touch with Nebraska's staff, if there is a spot available in the summer you can join then. If not, hard lesson, go somewhere else and prove everyone wrong.

We're not at all downplaying the reports he's not going to be part of matters, but we spent the last hour or so trying to ferret through it because the prospect did respond to us and say "I'll be at Nebraska" even prior to his tweet when we asked him directly about his status. That obviously gave us some pause. So we're still poking our head around on it.

I'm not down on the reports FWIW. I have a good understanding of why they're out there. So this isn't a pissing match. Just saying we're looking for a little more clarification after the prospect texted that to us, and obviously tweeted what he did.


Maybe Dean should take a lesson on how to handle shit instead of just putting some kid on blast.
 
Dean's just reporting what he knows....He put Jackson's shit on blast, he shouldn't have...Dean's a tool
What should he have done, sit on it until the kid isn't in class and then have to deal with all the bullshit rumors? If the kid didn’t want his shit in public, he probably should have done some research before going into the portal and committing to another school right away.
 
Really rooting for Dean to be wrong on this. Not so much for Jackson, but for Dean.

Reality sucks when it bites you in the ass...I feel for the kid but on the other hand you have to know what you're getting into with the portal.

Is it Texas A&Ms fault for not letting him know his academics wouldn't work at NU? no

Is it Nebraska's fault for not letting the kid know his academics wouldn't work at Nebraska? no

It's his fault for not doing his homework to see what the qualifications were. Harsh reality.
Really makes no sense though. If a class doesn't transfer it doesn't transfer. Is this saying because that class doesn't work after a semester at A&M a very good academic school he still doesn't have the basic requirements to get into UNL?

Sad but true. I don't know enough about the kid whether he'd be a good addition or not. Lots of RB's get major offers out of high school. It's not always to play RB and it's not always committable.
 
Deano is all about journalistic integrity when it is convenient for him but not now?

It’s his favorite excuse… “Trust me i knew that, just wanted it to be official before bringing it to the board”

“I can’t just post all the rumors i hear around North Stadium”

I thought that too usually he's all tight lipped about everything and now he's out putting people on blast. He must have thought he really had/has something for him to go public with it. Parker and Greg Smith from Hail Varsity also reported it after Dean so maybe there is some legs to it, but it sounds like for now they don't have the full story.
 
Jackson responded to a Journal Star message confirming that he will not be with the program this spring, saying, "No I won't be at Nebraska in the spring but will be in May."

Indeed, he could perhaps be in better position to make the move following the spring semester and get to campus over the summer. That would require several elements — academic standing and NU's roster space among them — lining up again as they had initially appeared to this winter for Jackson and Nebraska.

 
Bruntz saying it was because of an "Academic snag from his time at College Station". He also said he was on an official visit this weekend; I was under the impression he was there to start classes this spring, which maybe he was until they hit this "snag" whatever it is.
