Can you be more detailed? How did he actually get hurt?Has been speculation for a while now. Too bad, another one bites the dust after an injury. Sadly this injury was off the field which did not please the coach.
Don't know all the details. Just saw earlier that he was injured fooling around on a golf course. Frost not happy.Can you be more detailed? How did he actually get hurt?
I'd guess that he'll finish up the semester classes and then move on. If he's not fully recovered, probably no sense in his mind of going thru the stress of spring practice. Or maybe Frost told him he couldn't keep his scholarship if he didn't win the kicking job. Or he didn't see eye to eye with the new special teams analyst. Who knows. Could be a lot of reasons.Odd time to leave.
His tenure at DONU was determined last August between pick up basketball and the golf course.Don't know all the details. Just saw earlier that he was injured fooling around on a golf course. Frost not happy.
I suspect the relatives are pulling your leg. Why would JD go through Spring practice and then leave for another team this late in his career to sit out a year? He's not in any jeopardy of losing his spot here.What's the latest on JD? Still have relative Gopher fans that are sure he will be joining them for next season based on what they have been told. We shall see.

I am relieved he won't be kicking this spring. He was put in a tough spot but he couldn't be counted on at a position where injuries really don't last 5 months. Wish him the best though.
Well it will be better because it couldn't be any worse.Wish I felt relief about our kicking situation right now. Last year was a debacle, and all we've got right now is largely unproven walk-ons and JUCO transfers to fill the position. Hopefully someone steps-up/surprises, but its a pretty shaky foundation in an area needing to take a big step forward this year.
He's a management major according to his bio. It would make sense to stay and finish the semester.BP is leaving the football program, but he's staying at the university.
Is he not graduating in May? The word was that it would be a grad transfer, and the reason he hasn’t announced it yet is because he hasn’t graduated yet. That comes in May…I suspect the relatives are pulling your leg. Why would JD go through Spring practice and then leave for another team this late in his career to sit out a year?

I don't really see the situation any different from when a starting kicker graduates and we have to find a new one. Since it's normal to only use one kicker at a time. it's often a position where you are in a situation at some point where you come into a season without anybody with experience at the position. Its important to also remember that something that looks like a problem now may not turn out to be one, and vice versa. Kicker was not a position that people were concerned about last year, because Barret Pickering seemed set to be the starter and was solid based on how he ended his freshman season. Nobody could have expected the rash of injuries we experienced at the position. So who knows, something that looks like a problem now may not be if somebody comes in and is successful and nails the position down. Again, it's not like we haven't been in a position before where we come into a season where we don't have anybody proven at the position.Wish I felt relief about our kicking situation right now.

See Pennsy, that right there is where our problem is and has been for many years - we “hope” someone can come along and fix the problem. I see these projections of how good we are going to be based on hoping someone or someone’s magically come along to solve the problem.Well shit. I had hoped that with time and healing Pickering would return to his Freshman year form and many of our kicking woes from last year would be history. I sure hope one of the new guys steps up and can kick like hell.
because he can graduate in May and then transfer out and play right away wherever he wants to.I suspect the relatives are pulling your leg.

Like Frost never did anything stupid as a college kid. S**t happens.Don't know all the details. Just saw earlier that he was injured fooling around on a golf course. Frost not happy.
Exactly. Which is why I ain't drinking no koolaid this offseason. Time to put up or shut up. I am sure nobody has noticed, but I have posted very little on here of late. And that is because off-season conversation right now is just pissing into the wind. I remain hopeful for this season because I am a rabid Husker fan and if you can't have hope then what's the point? But damn it, I am tired of excuses. I am tired of losing seasons. We have out recruited our rivals in the West for many years now. So no more bullshit about "bad apples" and so on. This is Frost's team now. So he needs to spit that tobacco out of his mouth, lose his arrogant swagger, and coach like a man. End of rant.See Pennsy, that right there is where our problem is and has been for many years - we “hope” someone can come along and fix the problem.

I keep hearing that the coaches and players aren’t going to be talking like we’ve heard in the past, which is fine with me, no more of we’ve had the best practice this fall then lay a giant goose egg in Saturday’s game. Or a player I’m in the best physical conditioning of my career but never contribute much at all to the teamExactly. Which is why I ain't drinking no koolaid this offseason. Time to put up or shut up.

Does it make sense to assume that the staff anticipated he would return this spring/fall as evidenced by their decision to not recruit a kicker (s)?
Giving up field position on kickoffs and knowing that a game or two will ultimately come down to the kicking game puts added pressure on the STs.
This is totally out of the hands of what the analyst does.
Until this program gets to the point of reloading instead of working around weak areas, events like this will continue to be a problem. For those of us who can remember the glory days, the pipeline was always full and we didn’t have the big holes in the roster.
