Clearly, he should have sat more. That would have been a sure way to keep him happy and out of the portal.

We're not losing Ahman Green or LP here. He was already checked out in the practice videos I posted. Fumbled in the spring game. Bye.
He was talented but we are fine. Lots of good backs. Honestly seeing his lackluster response to being coached was a pretty big red flag to me. So things don’t go the way he wants and he just gives up? I’d rather have a guy with less talent who is a damn beast that never quits.
Might as well jump off the cliff now so there’s more Rhule-Aid for the rest of us
If we’re booting guys that fumbled in the spring game, then you and I might need to suit up.
True. But when he wasn't listening to EJ at practice and loafing you could see he didn't want to be here. We don't need those guys.
He should have played. He just shouldn't have played over the guys who are now above him on the depth chart.
Maybe every team's helmet should be replaced with one that has travel stickers on it, rather than an individual school's logo. 😐
In a few years those "reunions" will be interesting...who gets invited, who shows up.
👆👆 this is why. He wasn't our 2nd best back last year either but he was brought here by Applewhite so he obviously played. He was the most likely RB to leave in my opinion, not sure why it's a suprise to some.
Minor league football now. All it is now is, how can I get film of my game to send to the NFL.
The game has certainly evolved to the point where if you let yourself get too disappointed whenever a kid with talent and potential transfers, you're going to be disappointed an awful lot.
At the end of the day, we're losing a kid to the portal that has 190 career rushing yards at NU. There's still plenty of talent/potential at the position still on the roster.

Just thought a minor issue with our potential RB. With Rahmire moving up into serious playing time, he shares #14 with our projected starting QB. Who gives in?
Definitely lacking energy compared to the others
There is a 2nd part of that video where EJ is telling him to run it back and he's just lackadaisically jogging.
Kind of like me declaring to super models that I'm available.
Time to go drown my sorrows in a bag of Doritos.

He was 4th on the depth chart and maybe 5th after the spring game. Backs like him aren’t that hard to find. Physically talented. Mentally in to it?
??? Apparently not enough dominant contact?

That and he was sandbagging it in another clip. Clearly not listening to EJ
Sims is going to get a single digit number if he wants it.
I wish I could be 4th string at my job and then get picked up for $250K.
Tre Harris ( receiver) from LaTech got the same to go to Ole Miss. that’s what you’re up against
Where are these numbers coming from? Just wondering because big donors at Miami donate to the Medical Center, just like here in Nebraska.
Is “dominant contact” the reason why Gabe finds a need to run straight into the back of an O-lineman? He generally runs right in to the o-lineman getting beat the worst too.
Fun fact: the RB who avoids contact generally gets more yards. Just saying, maybe avoid contact and hit the hole might be a better message 🤷♂️

AJ if healthy is 10 times the back Rahmir is.. this was a stupid decision by someone on the staff who valued someone 'easier to manage' vs actual productive potential. There is no way you can convince me that this was not a mistake by either the position coach, OC or HC.
You think Rhule ran him off? I think this is what happens when you recruit players from the south that basically only come here for a position coach. Same with Palmer. Same with most of the kids Mickey was recruiting. They really had no interest in Nebraska or NU.
Wasn't going to matter anyway if he had the same amount of effort as he showed in those drills on the video.
It seems he didn't buy into the new staff. Kid has talent and may pop at The U. In reality, it was likely Gabe vs. Allen for a portal entrance, as Rahmir does good work with special teams and has been productive when given the chance and Grant came close to 1K rushing in an offense that did not feature the run. Allen made it an easier choice.

This is how you fix things long term. Your thinking is short sided. Hes not giving effort, he gets buried. If he doesnt like it, goodbye. Let that be a lesson for all.
I disagree. If it was Tom running things, that kid might miss a quarter of football, but then would be starting and ripping through defenders towards a new career high.
What you have here is rewarding mediocre players like Rahmir because they are choir boys and punishing players who are actually more alpha and thus problematic. Same could be said for Yant and also that Space Cowboy Washington kid under Frost.
All of those guys had the potential to be great, and under a TO, would have been given chance after chance to realize it. We have countless examples of this working under Tom.
But under most non-development coaching staffs, they process out the talented headaches for mediocre choir boys and you get the same results as most everybody else does.
This year we are going to have basically the same offensive line and 1&2 running backs as last year and we are expecting a different result?
