Didn't see this coming... Nebrich Out

[Rondogg]

When Cochran became a Husky I thought Nebrich was in trouble.

Me too.

Translation : As soon as Coach P made Whitmer #1 officially and stopped the division of reps, I was on the phone considering my options.

It is what it is. This is division 1-A football.

Sooner than later, a kid will transfer out of this program, and go to another 1-A program, instead of downgrading a level. Could Nebrich be the first? We'll see.

 

[FAIRTIDES]

Not necessarily. Right now we have a clear #1, a serviceable upperclassman backup, a touted (locally anyway) freshman #3 who is likely a RS but available if necessary. Plus, another touted (for us anyway) QB commit for next season. I would expect transfers.

It is how it should be. It feels strange because it hasn't happened here in a while.

A wildcat backup with throwing issues is a luxury. At best, he beats out JM for #2 and CC definitely redshirts. I had assumed his personal absence was that he was transferring.

Would anyone be surprised if the wildcat QB transfers, as well?

on a side note, wes hopkins made the team 2day. bloomfield kid...

Good to know... Hoping he ends up like Donald Thomas... a walk-on turned scholly player turned NFL player

That would surprise me a lot more than Nebrich. We'll see. I'm curious to know what's going on there, but the coach has made it clear that it's a personal matter, which appears to be non-football related, and he's absent with consent, and no issues whatsoever about it.

Is that just the public face? We'll see.

Always some kind of drama in training camp.

"Personal matter" could mean damn near anything from something really unfortunate like illness in the family, which I hope is not the case. It could also mean girlfriend troubles although I doubt that the coaching staff would have shown the same level of concern.

But, decisions about staying/going and different school choices are very personal matters. I hope I'm wrong, but something just seems off-center here.

That's exactly it. My guess is he ends up at some 1AA program where he can step in and play immediately. But his was just one of those situations that happen some times. New coach, different system, not a great fit.

 

[sdhusky]

What a ridiculous post. The kid played sparingly as a true freshman in a one dimensional offense behind an O-Line that gave up more sacks than 116 other teams. Yet you're certain to know what his ceiling is? Unreal.

I said he knows his ceiling. He decided that he can't compete at this level. He quit. Not me. Him.

 

[joey3$trike$]

Nebrich wasn't coach P's guy, Whitmer is: case closed.

 

[businesslawyer]

I said he knows his ceiling. He decided that he can't compete at this level. He quit. Not me. Him.

Or, he thinks he can be a starting QB in college and has determined that he won't get the chance here. Just as plausible an explanation.

It is truly remarkable that an adult would feel the need to make that kind of a statement in response to a 19 year old trying to move on with class.

 

[rich1122]

He had an offer from Harvard

...... But i think that he stays

 

[Waquoit]

There was a guy there with sunglasses a baseball cap and a moustache...Hmm.

coachcap got off work early?

He decided he doesn't want to play at UConn.

Everything else is you being an @.

 

[coachcap]

lol... I was thinking, that sounds like me, but I was at work until 7:30 that day.

I'm sure this was considered and rejected for this board, but posts like these make me wish there was a "dislike" button somewhere. Have some class.

I think that is a little bit overly harsh. I don't think anyone here can really say just how good nebrich might have been. He played a limited amount of time last season, and he looked lost in the Spring game, but by all accounts has been improving. Whether he is or would ever be a high level D1 performer, we don't know. to compare him to Grothe at USF is of course nuts, too...just in a nice way. Guy leave lots of programs for lots of reasons. Guys leave for playing time all the time. Just isn't a big deal when the 3rd string left guard leaves. makes news when a quarterback leaves.

It's funny. You were more liked by the sleazebags on the Rutgers board than you are here. And even THEY got tired of your act and banned your ass.

 

[Sean]

sdhusky sounds an awful lot like his hated Randy Edsall with the "he quit" comments...

 

[huskynation]

Can"t blame the kid. He worked hard did everthing the coaching staff asked. He improved his qb skills and developed his body gaining 25 pounds. His skill set just didnt match with what this coaching staff wanted on the field.

 

[B1GEast]

I think he would have had more success than Tyler Lorenzen if we had that same offense and same coaches, once Edsall left, he was stuck in the wrong system.

He's a great kid with a lot of talent, I hope he's able to find a good school and get a fair shot to compete, best of luck to Neibrich.

And you're surprised why?

 

[businesslawyer]

Maybe because I assumed that the fact that he can be nasty to other posters on an anonymous internet board wouldn't mean that he was the same way to college students.

Hey sdhusky, just wondering, did you play football? college ball? pro-ball?

 

[huskypantz]

Best of luck to Nebrich - hope that he has lots of success at his next stop. I'm disappointed that he didn't stick around and try to beat out Whitmer for the job, but looks like we just need to move on.
