Disturbing news I just heard
- Thread starter RealTucoSalamanca
- Start date
Right now it is speculation as to why so I will wait to hear from Riley.
Homesick? Hope he sticks it out. He is in line to play as a true freshman. Hang in there.
Multiple sources confirming that freshman WR Derrion Grim has left the #Huskers program. Homesick big factor. More tomorrow at 9am @espn1480
7:53 PM - 24 Aug 2016
Gosh dang it, Derrion, find some Lincoln trim!
Studies have shown that trim cures nearly all homesickness.

What is he? 18? 19?
Oscar Wilde said "youth is wasted on the young". Young people make odd choices.
Good luck young man.

Why is it disturbing news?
There are three positions I don't worry about; QB, WR, LB. We have excellent, proven coaches for all three spots and they're pretty salty on the recruiting trail as well.

Wow. Do you even remember how dumb you were, maturity wise, at 17 Cornicator? If these reports are true I kind of feel sorry for the young man. It must have been a tough decision.
That just made me laugh out loud.
But to return to the topic at hand, how certain are we that it is Grim. I know rrt posted that info so I am assuming it is true
Maybe it should be changed to grim news.

forgive me as I have had more than a few thus far this fine evening and typically hate to speculate .. but maybe he is truly home sick ... home sick in the same way Tyler Moore was home sick ... the sororities at Nebraska should be embarrassed
Drink on. I am on my third Bourbon of the night. I usually stop at two, but this news pushed me on.forgive me as I have had more than a few thus far this fine evening.. but maybe he is truly home sick ... home sick in the same way Tyler Moore was home sick ... the sororities at Nebraska should be embarrassed
Homesickness stinks. As an undergrad I transferred from UNL to a college in Maryland at age 18. God I was homesick. It might seem like a small thing, but it really can be a huge factor for these young guys.
Kind of what I was thinking too. After the news we heard a month ago today, when I see a thread talking about "disturbing news", I'm expecting just about anything. I was actually somewhat relieved when I saw what it was and who it involved. Not that it's good to see any player leave, but losing a true freshman at a deep position isn't that disturbing to me.
disturbing...one of our players smacked his girlfriend.
disappointing...one of our players doesn't want to play here any longer.

I can't for the Nebraska Football Program to actually get some positive news other than silly alternate uniforms. For the record I do like the alternate uniforms. Winking
Who was it just a few weeks ago that said we were recruiting too many good WRs??
You are truly a great man - boy that was young; lol.GBR
I bet some people think that the last staff was texting him and pushing him to leave. Haha
The linked article says Grim was being considered for a redshirt season as late as yesterday by Langs. I wonder if that possibility played a role here. Homesick plus no playing time. Just speculating....
Disturbing was probably a bad word choice. My apologies
Crappy news then. A talented receiver is leaving. There was still a possibility he was going to play as a true freshman. While the effect won't be felt this season, it could have a bigger effect next. Nebraska loses 3 seniors WR in Moore, Reilly and Westercamp. Meaning they only return DPE and Morgan with more than 1 season of playing time. DPE hasn't proven to be able to stay healthy. So now a position with a lot of returning experience in 2016 becomes a very inexperienced group in 2017.

I wouldn't apologize, some people just love to be offended.
Hopefully he lands on his feet and has a successful career.

Benning was talking along a similar line. Spoke about how he had similar issues and how tons of guys struggle that first year.
Grim also said he was struggling in the spring some. Being an early enrollee can be hard. Who knows what's going on back home with friends/girls. Snapchat, Facebook, etc can make being away hard. That prom snap of your friend and your girl can make your mind wander to bad places when aren't in a good place.
