Time to go get a job.

While his freshman backfield running mate just made the NFL all-rookie team. Talk about paths diverging.

Never been so wrong about a recruit in my life.....SMH

He looked good for the Gophers. Was the O-line just that good or what happened?

 

[mggoph]

Yeah, he looked pretty damn good as a freshman when pushed into action due to injuries of those above him. Something must have happened since he left.

He had conditioning issues. It was why he was in the dog house with Fleck his FR season. It was why he lost playing time to a significantly less talented but much more reliable/hard working player like Bryce Williams.

He overplayed his hand. Too bad. Wish him the best.

I was never super high on him but I really thought he was at least a serviceable Big 10 running back for sure.

Sure did. I was disappointed when he decided to transfer. But the Gophers backfield has always been "next man up".....so ultimately his departure didn't make a whole lot of difference.

Surprised he could transfer back to a Minneapolis High School after playing three years at the collegiate level.
