Where are we anticipating him playing here? Taking Carter’s spot at FS? I can’t imagine Barron would be moved. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. 73 tackles in the B1G last year tho. Very exciting news. Hopefully team culture keeps his head on straight

Dont know but those are all the same questions I would ask

 

[UpstateSM]

I was a big Rob Hanna fan, too, so having a B1G starter to replace his spot on the roster is great. Just a really nice cap to a positive off-season.

Less than three weeks!!

 

[djorange1989]

Already has this going for him, which is nice.

The most notable part of this clip is that Rutgers has a 4th quarter lead

 

[Cuse'91]

He had been suspended by the new coach for not following small team rules. Ok. We'll take him. Hopefully lessons learned and we will be the victors.

That was his 2nd violation since Rhule arrived though; the 1st was a DUI, which is far from minor. Winning is more important, and this kid is bigger/better than other safety alternatives, I guess. But, have that feeling of another Dino Babers bad judgment potentially; a la, hiring your son-in-law's father to coach quarterbacks, or bringing Taj Harris to ACC Media Days.

 

[SU91]

I wouldn’t normally say this, but if he displaces a player who’s been competing hard for a spot at this late date, I do worry about impact on team chemistry. Again, I know it’s D1 football etc, but these late moves concern me a bit vs someone joining in the off-season or spring. Thoughts?

 

[SU91]

Ps happy to have him on the team

 

[CA Monk]

If he proves himself the team will know and be accepting. Not worried re: chemistry.

Not for nothing, but there's word he was struggling with the 3-3-5 at Nebraska.

Another bad judgement? As far as bringing players in with vs lacking character, his judgement has been outstanding. That has nothing to do with the examples you cite, but then again this is your MO

At the minimum, a good insurance policy.

Yesterday I almost typed “why do we think every person that enters the portal is going to come to cuse?” Now I’m really happy he is and I’m good with feeling dumber

Not for nothing, but there's word he was struggling with the 3-3-5 at Nebraska.

Well, he's got two years to figure it out. Any contribution he gives this season is an unexpected bonus.

At the very least got to think he can be a solid guy on specials. Not a terrible floor.

Farmer didn't receive a DUI after Rhule arrived. Farmer received the DUI on 11/8/22 and was suspended for the Michigan game. Rhule wasn't hired/signed a contract with Nebraska until 11/26/22.

You seem to have an issue with facts.

 

[Windyfly]

I would think that the message to him was to come here and that he would be accepted and have some familiarity already, with a former coach and two players with played with at Nebraska (to some extent the system) and play his way on to the field. He comes in, with really no expectation, as camp is well under way and he gets to have a fresh start, with hardly any to no drop in the level of football. Things are moving in the right direction and kids are recognizing that.
Also I sort of doubt that he was promised anything as far as playing time goes, but he probably had an old coach and old teammates in his ear advocating about a better culture and a defensive backfield that is sending players to the NFL / high major programs.

Also we all make mistakes at that age and sometimes bad decisions can be a slippery slope and all that is needed is a change in scenery… but I think it’s silly to question this young mans character, especially with the former Nebraska guys having a good case judgement about him.

This is a solid move for both parties and gives us serious depth and options in our 3-3-5 scheme. We definitely have some players back there and looking stacked. The MOB really bout to be kicking ass and taking names!

My opinion is that Rocky wants to play and rotate as many game-ready guys as possible. Keeps them fresh and lets them go 100% for 60 minutes.

Bless your heart- you're always just a ray of sunshine, ain't ya'? Sheesh.

Just saying what I've heard. No more, no less.

And if he was struggling with it so much, why transfer to another program running the same D? That seems counterproductive since he had multiple offers, no?

I wasn't disagreeing with you. More stating that he has time to learn if needed.
