Sedrick King won't be back either. He will graduate in December, and will remain on scholarship, but wont't count against 85 since he didn't participate in Fall Camp.

My God it's starting to feel like a big boy football program.

Next step is to go out on the recruiting trail and recruit to Nebraska like they don't deserve to apologize to kids for wearing that N. Take that loser attitude of "the best kids don't wanna be in Lincoln" out back and shoot it. GO. GET. BALLERS.

You know there is a lot of truth to this. It is like in sales, you don't want to start discounting your product and killing the value. There is little reason why NU can't recruit top 20 classes each season.

Bingo. It needs to get back to the point where people (recruits) will be nervous about Scott raising the price of the product. No more discounts!

King's issue is that he was recruited by a staff that ran 4/3 as a WDE. In a 3/4 he is the epitome of a tweener, not big enough for DE and doesn't have the skill set to play OLB. Not saying he was a world beater, but he was a 3 Star kid out of Florida, that clearly fit better with what Pelini did than what they were doing last year and this year.

Has he got enough eligibility left such that he could transfer after he graduates in December and play for somebody else next year or will his 6 year clock expire?

King would've been a non factor regardless of the scheme. He barely ran a sub 5 second 40, and had little desire to make himself better in the weight room. He was a reach from day one, and was simply not good enough to play in the Power 5.
