Will Compton had a good NU career, as he was a multiple year starter, highlighted with a 2nd team All-Big Ten honor as a senior in 2012. His biggest flaws were that he was overhyped coming out of high school and he wasn’t as good as Lavonte David. Those are two things which he couldn’t control. A guy can last a long time by being a smart player, who can pick up all kinds of defenses, and put himself in the right spot to make a play.
Yep. We have/had plenty of players with talent but for numerous other reasons it was seldomly realized in a Husker uniform.
Not trying to argue, but based on what, other than HS hype and a few flashes. It is a RISK. I was hoping he would pan out, but from the word go, I was pessimistic based on a lot of things pertaining to academic and attitude. He could never grasp playbook and when MJ challenged his work ethic and want to, he went awol…. Kid can absolutely be a freak if he ever decides to put it together, but based on history, it will be a risky proposition. I am not bashing the kid, bc he has a ton of talent and maybe the pressure of his hype was too much. Just saying that if teams do their homework, they may not be running to his door. With that said, watch him be an All American when he turns the corner
Agreed. Love that Josh Fleeks is all N and is going to share with the team his experience, reassurance, and success under Rhule’s way to play, act, and win. All you need is one spark to get a few others really bought in and then you have everyone believing.
Yes- guys like him will changing that 'losing culture' to a 'winning culture' mindset quickly. The more of these positive minded guys we get the better. It will help those who have suffered through poor coaching for these past number of years.
Wasn’t he caught with dope in his possession during the last few months? I sure hope he gets himself straightened out and on a better path…Seems like such a waist.
1. Possessing dope and having it be a crime in 2022 is insanely dumb
