Mo Washington Gone

[inWV]

Now at 87, 2 over the limit. Who knows what the deal is with the kid. For his sake, I hope his moment of clarity comes sooner rather than later.
What NU has at RB: Thompkins 5-11/195 5.7 3*, Mills 5-11/220 5.8 4*, Johnson 5-10/180 5.8 4*, Morrison 6-0/187 5.8 4*, Scott III 5-9/195 5.6 3*. Plus Brody Belt and Jaylin (maybe). Wandale is also available.
So the key question is whether NU can at least hit 1/4 among the Johnson/Morrison/Thompkins/Scott III quartet in terms of #2 RB productivity.

 

[Hastings4Huskers]

Nobody else in the B1G was stupid enough to take him to begin with.

Wow such an insightful take. Your mommy must have fed you extra cornflakes at breakfast.

[headcard]

Who's our No. 2? Johnson? Thompkins? Scott? Morrison? Bradley? Belt? Imma go with Johnson and Scott in the rotation with Mills.

I think they want a #2 to step up, my guess is Scott. But they can always use Wandale and Nixon in the backfield too.

OSU offered him and lesser programs like Iowa never had a shot anyway.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

UNL is the easiest Big Ten school academically, by a good margin. If he can't cut it here, he won't last long at any other Big Ten school either.

Get real, all the Big schools are academically easy if you're an athlete. The one exception may be Northwestern.

 

[Red I 73]

Just saw on Sean Callahan’s Twitter that Washington and NU have officially parted ways. Someone more tech savvy can link the tweet. Unfortunate, not surprising, and probably for the best going forward.

About time.

Anyone named Biff calling others stupid is the very definition of irony.

Hello? Anybody home? Think Mcfly think!!

 

[the_hills_have_hawkeyes]

Next man up. Let's gooo!

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Anyone named Biff calling others stupid is the very definition of irony.

Umm, it’s a literary reference...well, actually a reference to one of the more famous broadway plays.

 

[jeans15]

Hate it for the kid and us.

But he got a chance and chose his own path.

 

[timnsun]

Umm, it’s a literary reference...well, actually a reference to one of the more famous broadway plays.

Thanks. It’s still Biff, and the name says it all.

Are you defending him?

 

[schuele]

He'll get one more chance somewhere, and hopefully will make the most of it. Too bad it didn't work out in Lincoln, but at some point you have to cut bait.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Thanks. It’s still Biff, and the name says it all.

Are you defending him?

Not that I know of.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

I'm glad he's gone. Seemed like a dork who could ball, but a dork nonetheless.

 

[timnsun]

Not that I know of.

I suppose not... Just not quite understanding why you’re pointing out Biff on Broadway... I wasn’t referring to Death of a Salesman, obviously... It’s just a funny name usually associated with goofballs and meatheads. At least in my opinion.

Oh well.

 

[bigboxes]

Nobody else in the B1G was stupid enough to take him to begin with.

You keep trying...

 

[CameronKrazie86]

Best of luck to him.

I would've booted him the second he was arrested simply because of the seriousness of the charge. He got plenty of chances and screwed it up. Disappointing.

 

[headcard]

 

[BigRedRising]

He's going to end up with Herm Edwards.

 

[Mack In Motion]

Some people take advantage of the opportunities afforded them, some do not.

He's young. Hopefully he gets things together.

At least everyone gets to move on. Worst case scenario for everyone involved would be for this to drag on through this season.

 

[jteten]

He probably should move to WR. Never going to run through traffic enough to play RB at the next level.

Yeah. I think frailty might be an issue as well.

 

[headcard]

Yeah. I think frailty might be an issue as well.

Mentally and physically.

 

[ctlbyr]

Hey Mo, bye!! Dude was given every chance. See ya

 

[Newbomb_Turk1]

He's going to end up with Herm Edwards.

Here’s hoping Herm and his staff can work their majic with him. He food part is ASU is no Stanford so he should be eligible.

 

[huskerssalts]

There was M Washington thread already started...just saying

 

[FrostedScottyOs]

There was M Washington thread already start...just saying

He had to make sure his opinion was seen.

 

[dand84]

So what position do you all think he'll play? It clearly won't be RB since he doesn't like contact, won't run up the middle and wanted to switch to DB. WR, CB?

 

[huskerssalts]

Nobody else in the B1G was stupid enough to take him to begin with.

Funny, he took an official at Ohio State but yep...they didn’t want him. It was down to ASU, OSU and Huskers for him. We all seen which way he went.

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Good luck to the young man. Hope he takes some time for self reflection, and is better for it.

 

[HominidHusker]

It sucks to lose talent, but team comes first... always.

 

[husker2612]

Man, just breaks my heart to see such elite talent and skill go down the drain. Ahh shucks.

Top level talent not panning out for one reason or another has become an all to common theme here at Nebraska over the last 20 years.

 

[husker2612]

UNL is the easiest Big Ten school academically, by a good margin. If he can't cut it here, he won't last long at any other Big Ten school either.

I believe Nebraska rankings in the 120s for academics and all other BIG10 are in the 20s- 90s. So yes we do rank the lowest in the BIG. There are thousands of colleges and university's in the U.S So it isn't like we are light years behind them. In the large picture it is very minimal. But yes I understand your point with MO.

 

[huskerssalts]

take a look for yourself on his offer list. Rivals is the only that didn’t have him a 4 star and Top 250 player...

 

[Harry Caray]

There are a lot more distractions in Tempe, AZ than Lincoln, NE. ASU is known as a party school.

 

[Solana Beach Husker]

Hey Mo, bye!! Dude was given every chance. See ya

Millions in talent + 10 cent Brain = Op - (Millions in talent)= ......

 

[SkerinDallas]

True, but recreational weed use is still illegal in AZ. Hopefully he decides not to have as much fun down here as he did up in Lincoln.

 

[phoenix4nu]

Has it been reported that he’s going to ASU, or is it it just someone’s speculation? I doubt that any team would take him while the felony charge is pending. I think they would wait to see what happens with that.

 

[skintight]

The dude gave some blood sweat and tears. He was pretty entertaining to watch on the field. I thank him for that. Certainly he made some mistakes and was detrimental to himself and the team chemistry. I havent ever met the guy but i bet deep down inside he's a good guy. Best wishes Mo--I hope you come to peace with yourself and everyone you meet.
