Well I like ice cream, lol.

Still, new regime, plus the new RS rule is just making things weird.

Me too

And I can't, respectfully, agree to the "new regime angle.  It was the regime Bell committed to.

 

[Ratt Mhule]

The whole team regressed

The coach, i would assume, explained that culture to the recruit before accepting his commitment

The recruit probably didnt think it would actually happen because hes too good and then couldnt handle it when it actually happened

 

[Undone]

@Mavric posted some good stats that showed that his Yards Per Carry stats were actually really decent against Colorado and Troy. I'm not sure how anybody can say "Good riddance" on this one. 

We hadn't played nearly enough football yet.

This one is really surprising here, and definitely sucks.

 

[MountainMan]

Not so much in the last game.

True. Although there are reports of him getting reps this week in practice and Held said all three were going to see time

 

[Caliborn72]

I wonder if we will be able to get to 85 at this point. Sounds like more attrition is expected.

What I don't understand in any of this...Why do guys feel that their situations have been enhanced by this 4 game rule? In the case of Bell and Lindsey, they are both incredibly, moronic decisions. The outside advice they are getting is really bad.

I don’t not understand what’s going on with these guys. You fall in depth chart you should fight your way up to the top not jump ship because things got hard for you. I don’t get it 

Yeah this is bizarre seeing that there are plenty of RB reps to go around.  Very strange.

 

[Mary Pats BOB]

Can’t say what I want or I’ll get the banhammer. Wow just weak weak kids these days, cry me a goddamn river!

 

[ADS]

CREAMPUFF!

I'm not sure anyone believes their situation has been enhanced.

Well he did come in expecting to be the starter. He was technically demoted this week. The 2019 class keeps growing!

 

[TAKODA]

So how does a coach not get his own recruit to not buy in?

Invariably there is one apple, that when placed with the good fruit, can spoil the bunch. So to answer your question, he may have been influenced more by others, morso than the coaching staff. 

Its more likely, that he could see the players in his group, passing him up, and his future playing time shrinking.

 

[Cdog923]

At most, he looked like the 3rd best RB on the team, behind Ziggy Stardust and Space Cowboy. 

Maybe that's what set him off? That he didn't have a cool nickname.

Yeah I don’t think they, or hell anyone at this point, understands that the 4 game rule only really benefits grad transfers or those staying at the school and actually redshirting. 

 

[husker98]

He had 100 yards rushing in his first husker game despite a bad OL and you saw nothing?

There are lots of players who look good on paper but don't hold up on film. Bell was definitely one of those, he was unpolished and a work in progress. But a promising one, this is a shame.
