Maurice Washington Faces Charges

I think if Mo were done at this point well...he'd be done by now with no meeting at all lined up.  The fact that Frost is meeting with him today to me anyway definitely says that this is not done by any means.  To me there's still a chance obv. 

Given the suspension this seems like it will more be up to Mo as far as letting Frost and the team know that he's ready and willing to do what it takes to play for Nebraska and be a part of this team.  We'll see though.

I agree.  He was not indefinitely suspended like the two other guys.  I'd say there's a good chance he's on the field next year.

 
I think they need to cut him loose.  Letting him stick around after he has proven he puts himself before the team can cause a lot of turbulence in the locker room.  Especially with the chances he had been given

 
I'm sure we're trying to give him another chance, there's just going to be a lot he has to do and so far he hasn't. Maybe how this year turned out will have flipped a switch for him, but I wouldn't bet on it. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic.

Since Frost is from Tom's era, it may well be that the part of Mo's fate may lie with the team as a whole.  Mo may have to address the whole team since he did let them down with his behavior.  That would be a lot of peer pressure but it has worked in the past under Dr. Tom.  it would definably be Mo's last best shot at playing D1 football.

one other poster above I agree with, I don't think Mo has anywhere else to go...  I hope the kids wakes up and sees that he is pissing away a golden opportunity to make a real life/future for himself.  tons of talent, just needs to grow up some.

 
I'd love to see Mo change and be able to continue playing but I just don't see him doing it. Maybe...maybe the little suspension changed his attitude but I woulda thought after his initial legal problems he would have straightened up but he didn't. I hope, if he is given another chance, that it is zero tolerance. IDK but I suspect letting him hang on this previous season (before he got the boot) likely caused some problems with other team members. Like someone else said, hopeful but not at all optimistic.

Really look at this...

1.  Worked his a$$ off to get here and did it

2.  Smoked/had weed (literally no one cares)

3.  Had a pic/video of an old GF that was naked or making love 

4.  Was mad/upset that he didn't get the ball more

Assuming that is everything...well...it is not really a big deal.  (All you SJW's relax on the child porn stuff, we all know that is not what it really is)

Every guy on the team that is not starting and/or getting TONS of play is mad (that is how it works)

They all smoke weed/drink (All you stat geeks, please realize I know that not ALL OF THEM smoke and drink)

I think you sit him down and you yell at him, kids like him respond to that, you say "You are a moron, you know that, right?" and he will agree, and then you ask "Do you want to be here, for real, do you want to be part of this or do you think you would be better leaving" he will be honest...if he says "yes" you say "Tell me what boundaries you need..." and he will say "I don't know"

Then you say..."Here is what I propose..." and you lay it out.

 
Said it before and I'll say it again.  The kid has an attitude problem that is going to take a come to Jesus on the road to Damascus moment to change.  I'm also hopeful, but seriously doubt it'll happen.  What a waste.

The bolded added for what it’s worth, should make it a big deal to a coach and teammates.

I honestly don’t think your yell at him approach works here either.  Mo seems to be pretty fragile mentally as proven by quitting the team.  He probably would need the coddling approach.

As great as a talent as he is/was, it is time to cut the cord.  Props to him if he stuck with his classes and got good grades this last semester.  He better have if he does leave(own accord or not) and wants to enter the transfer portal.

I think there was a lot more than that in regards to being late to team meetings, not going to the training table and stuff along those lines that frost doesn’t tolerate. 
 

Also heard he whipped his d1@k out in front of a bunch of girls on the volleyball team and that was the last straw/“ but that may be a B.S. rumor.
