Wouldn’t have cracked the 2 deep anyway

Boerk, Fidone, Bonner with plenty of help on the way in ‘24

Is that against the law here? It's not in California.
Well, still technically against the law there (I think). Just which laws exactly do they choose to enforce?

As to Gilbert, is this a classic case of ten cent head on a million dollar body?

What in the actual hell was he thinking? I doubt our dietary wizard is recommending vaping 🤔

Good luck to the young man - I think he’s going to need it.

My gawd. What an idiot. He couldn't have done this back in June and not taken reps from another player.

Better learn to say "may I take your order".

Freaking unbelievable. Bet you Rhule's head exploded when he heard this. What a waste of talent.

From May 8
[USER=13220]@dinglefritz[/USER] said it - he's now a reclamation project as opposed to a sure-fire 5* slam dunk.

Fidone & Boerkircher are who I expect to contribute at TE this season, waiver or no waiver. assuming Fidone's health, of course.

It's tough to reconcile this type of decision-making with the kind of program Rhule is working to build. Hope Arik figures out right from wrong moving forward.

And just like that his career at Nebraska goes up in smoke....

Can't fix stupid, oh well better to take out the trash now and keep quality guys in the MR program.

This will come across offensive to those who vape … but honestly it is ridiculous looking and if I saw one of our players strolling on campus vaping it would not scream “elite D1 athlete” to me.

Fair enough. Some folks got ahead of themselves on this guy. I was stoked, but wait and see mode with this being his third stop in college...
He was worth the risk. Boerkircher is young and has experience now and Fidone is immensely talented. Without Boerkircher Rhule would have needed to take a lower level TE to ensure we had someone there.
