If Matthews was actually worried about Nico leaving, we’re really gonna have to fight for him NEXT off season.

let's worry about that next off season. get him in the fold, and let's go get a couple winners. give these other players a chance to develop

 

[I4Jay]

Smh it’s criminal how little we got Matthew’s on the field. I don’t care what the excuse was. He had the type of tenacity that warranted a designed play.

I don’t Care if he didn’t know the entire playbook, get him 3-5 plays and let those be his.

It’s like saying Jamal Lewis shouldnt play as a freshman bc he didn’t know all the protections smh smh smh

I’ve always loved NDSU’s indoor stadium.

Kind of a bucket list stadium to visit

Been there - you’re not missing anything special.

On what grounds? He is literally out of eligibility and didn’t attend juco so idk what you are talking about.

IIRC Bru had to sit out a year when he was at USC for transferring from Texas. Pretty sure I remember reading that the NCAA gave him back that year a few months ago. I know I adjusted Bru's eligibility in my files after reading the article. So he wouldn't need a waiver for an extra year.. he already received approval for another year if he wanted it. I just think Bru was ready to move on when he declared for the senior bowl.

Wtf

Damn figured the atmosphere/crowd would be off the charts

 

[NighthawkVol]

He’s appealing for another year. It’s not guaranteed he’ll get it but the option is it here.

Where is this being reported? It would be odd to play in the senior bowl while trying to get another year. What will he even base his appeal on? He had to appeal last year just to get this season…which was a 6th season.

[Jackcrevol]

Wtf

pretty spot on from what we have heard and witnessed

 

[TrippieRedd]

Still can’t believe Bass left us for that site

 

[Blake25p]

Wtf

Nico visited Miami and Oregon during the season? If you start rumors at least make them believable lol

 

[Carp]

I mean, Webb was a top 50 WR in every ranking except ESPN...Leacock was a top 25 WR in every service and 4 star by all....gotta be a little worried that Pope couldn't develop them enough to get on the field ahead of Nimrod or injured guys.

Leacock to me is the big one, Pope was his Primary and this was his 2nd year in the system.

I think you gotta look at the guys above him though. Unless he is a legitimate top end WR, he wasn't gonna start over Bru, DTJ, Squirrel, or Brazzell. Only Nimrod and Matthews were really above him and they got limited snaps too.

 

[Carp]

Don’t shoot the messenger but I saw that Bama may be in play for squirrel white

Not really concerned. White has experience, but he isn't a top end guy.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Wtf

Boo and Matthews will be two that we will have to fight for every off season. Just what it is sadly.

Nico will be gone after next season, so not worried about him.

We could probably add Carter and Gibson to this list as well.

 

[csprig9]

Wtf

Lol
People everywhere coming out of the woodwork
Trying to stir that pot
Our fans bitching and complaining are probably half the problem we have with keeping guys happy
Best fanbase in the country and the most toxic sometimes also

 

[rockytop25]

Wtf

I wish people would stop listening to this fool

 

[tnhunter 10]

Wtf

Which one of you is Sean Sparks?

 

[volamite86]

Wtf

Man I cannot stress enough. This guy knows jack diddly about what’s going on. He’s the one I was referring to earlier. Constantly harasses GA’s/Practice Squad Guys/and the occasional starter. DM’s them nonstop. He has no real connection. Just gets 5th hand info from time to time.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Which one of you is Sean Sparks?

I’m not saying I’m him, but my original username was @Seany Sparksball.

Best decision I ever made was to unfollow that page.

 

[HeuperDrive]

Wtf

yeah I don’t buy this. I really don’t see how Nico could’ve visited Oregon and Miami “during the season” and nobody except for this guy seems to have heard about it.

Those two programs have unquestionably tampered with Nico. I think that’s clear as air. But this rumor makes zero sense and shouldn’t be given any credence

He went to the UCLA-Oregon game during the first bye week in LA. Guess who played for UCLA this part season? His brother. He did go to South Beach during the second bye week but not to visit the U.

What if no one is able to develop Webb and Leacock?

Wouldn’t be good for WR evals tho

This is not popular for those in the coach's corner, but I agree. No reason to pay that money for a guy who you likely plan to have for 3 years at hest, and then watch him collect cobwebs on the sideline. And when you do play him it's to be a blocker. Just a waste.
