Fair enough and I agree with your take. I give you Lawrence Phillips, Christian Peter, Fabian Washington and Johnny Rogers. With those names said I also understand they had already shown their potential on the field compared to Omar only being a myth at this point. Those players at that time were in a way better program with obviously a winning culture. Maybe Scott is rolling the dice here because he knows the potential and needs the possible stats and outcome Omar can provide?
The only thing we know about Omar is that hes a football player on the team who struggled and struggles with severe depression and anxiety.
Last year with Covid, the political climate, and the racial issues the country was having was simply not an environment for a kid like Omar to succeed.
I’m extremely glad he was here and he took advantage of the resources that Nebraska has. Had he still been at a juco or even a less resourced D1, he may have gotten lost in the wash. Dr Brett deserves a raise for her work with the team. She’s extremely good at what she does.
I don’t know if he’s got a different set of rules. I’m sure if a guy can miss a practice for an undisclosed reason and then not miss a beat the next day and get reps it creates the appearance he’s got a different set of rules.
