Wish we had KJJ as a soph, but ya can’t smoke grass in this position.. not saying it’s good in any position but Com’On Man - Ya got a full ride with who knows what after that. That fact he was offered to come back was a shock to me anyway.

At times Jackson looked like the most talented guy in our secondary. Other times he looked lost. I think the scheme was part of it and playing injured was another part of it. The kid is a tremendous athlete and I think his talent will be much better utilized by our new staff. He has tremendous potential.
He's kind of been thrown to the wolves if you ask me. He was expected to be a producer and hasn't been for whatever reason, doesn't take away his athletic ability though. I hope he finds his guidance..
people need to lay off these guys and let them have a fresh start with this new staff. We need Jackson.
Our defensive line did him no favors, and our offensive line killed our defense, if you know what I mean.
kjsr lambasted NU and very severely. He said there was no chance his son would play at NU if MR was canned, which needed to be done without a doubt in my mind. He backpedaled very quickly afterward. Frost or the fans or NU, after that, owed them nothing, it seems to me. So, what's the big deal? Nothing here to see folks, move along and wish him well. I hope the kid does as well as he possibly can in life.
It wasn't really a stretch to question his character in this case; his own dad pulled him out because he knew he was off course. So there was a problem or two. That said, hope he gets on track and does well going forward. I don't know whether his dad was or would be any sort of problem if he came back. Most everyone seemed to think his dad was doing what was best when he pulled him out. If his dad couldn't see that Riley wasn't making it work here he must have not have any objectivity about Riley. If he and his son don't want to play here without Riley that is their business, I think Frost will live without him/them.

I would prefer fans don't threaten to stop being fans because of a rough year, but that's just me.
Did you watch the games last year? He cannot/will not execute the elementary components of tackling.....and at times he gave terrible effort. I hope it turns around for him.
This... I can't see this staff targeting him based on his lack of speed alone... He's got great hands and route running but definitely lacks the speed Frost requires for his offense...
I hope so too. That was one of the most frustrating parts of this season.. the piss poor attitude of some guys who seemingly have the most potential. Jackson and Nick Gates hopefully will have a huge attitude adjustment with the new staff.
You need to watch Charlie McBride’s assessment of the defense. Poor coaching — especially handcuffing the D-line — put unnecessary pressure on the cornerbacks. Jackson’s a freshman who has a lot to learn, and being horribly confused by bad coaches didn’t help the situation. It’s really short-signed to cast aspersions on him. The new staff will properly develop his talent, they certainly don’t want him to transfer.

I said it all year when people ripped him apart. Nobody is going to look good in a defense where the cornerback is expected to make almost every tackle, and try and cover receivers (because the D Line and backers were performing at Junior High levels)
