Arik Gilbert - He Gone

Yes. Like I said, worth the risk. No doubt if Boerkircher turns into an all-conference player I will hear about it from you. I stand by what I said about him though. He didn't start based on skill. He started because Frost had major recruiting gaps.
He's still starting. And now he's on scholarship.
neither of those things have anything to do with frost.
That's truly awesome. He's a big kid. And he proved reliable, something Volkolek or however you spell his name, wasn't. I hope he tears it up.
I prefer to be offensive. Vaping is for pussies. Man up and rip a Marlboro if you're gonna smoke.
Well that's disappointing news to wake up to on the one day I actually sleep in to 8:30 pst. Hope he's able to get the help he needs to get his life straightened out.
Proof once again that it takes more than physical talent to succeed. You can have all the physical talent in the world but if you also don't have the mental state of mind to go with that you're doomed. We've now seen that in at least two instances this Fall. Kudos to Rhule for giving both players a shot but it was always going to be a low probability bet.
Not surprised given his troubled past. Rhule must be really po’d after all of his statements supporting Gilbert, including his comment that if Gilbert didn’t get the “second transfer” exception, no one should. Good riddance.
Since he hadn’t received the waiver, can we identify him as former Georgia tight end as he gets processed by the courts?

Judging by his talent level and lack of playing time, I don't think "using his head" is something that he often tries to do.He couldn’t and least wait till he got to Boulder?
What a wasted opportunity by not using his head..
From what little I know about it, appears it wasn't armed robbery so I'm assuming it would not be felony but a misdemeanor. That said, Rhule code of player conduct is what's going to matter in this case
Only at Nebraska could you have the #1 TE recruit in 2020 & 2021 and both be busts.
There are obviously 5-star / #1 position groups to bust out but the probability both bust just seems unlikely. Hope Thomas can turn around but not holding my breath. I’m afraid injuries made him average. Carter Nelson might want to take out a life insurance policy

Love that the cops were just waiting for him to come out - what an absolute idiot.
Depends how they charge him. If he stole more than $1,500 worth of stuff, then its a felony. Also, burglary alone is a felony, I believe. I think what is described probably fits burglary. However, if he pays restitution, it wouldn't surprise me to see a deferral perhaps, or a plea down to a misdemeanor with a fine. But, I have no idea what is in his background, so maybe he's used up all chance of something like that already.
If they did AND the liquor and vape store drop the charges could he suit up for Minnesota? #gbr
What if … hear me out … the liquor store had an NIL agreement with Arik … they stopped payment because he hadn’t got the waiver approved yet. Liquor store was losing out on their investment and Arik wasn’t getting paid.
He calmly negotiates with them over the past week - they tell him “if you want anything from us, you’re going to have to bust the door down and take it”.
Arik views this as an agreed upon situation, so follows directions to get what’s his!
Ultimately, I blame NIL and the NCAA.
