| Nuke Stuff Wont Go Away
Quote: |
From the weekly wispers video, Mike Farrell sais he thinks we are out on Dunkley. Says it has to do with the Nukese insident. Sais Nuke told his friends and family that he was going to be a big part of the south Carolina game and with the bad rainy weather the coaches decided not to let the freshman do as much. This apparently angered Nuke enough to miss practice sunday and contact a few school about possibly transfering. Farrell sais all this happened around Dunkley and really turned him off. In my opinion the team does what it can do to win a game, and sounds kinda selfish on Nukes part. Its a team not a player. Now saying that i love Nuke and think he has a bright future, but he needs to be patient and kearn his role on the team.

| I was one of Nuke's biggest fans, but all this constant drama is turning me against him. I still like the kid and am pulling for him, but this prima donna act is rapidly growing old.

| I dont see why this is even an issue. He is one player. I hope he doesnt leave but if he does we'll still be able to roll out 11 guys on each side of the ball for the next 4 weekends and it will not impact our recruiting in Florida. Im not so sure how Nuke and Dunkley are going to fit into our offense going forward... maybe one of them but not both. This league is moving toward bigger receivers and besides Hancock we dont have any. Milton, Ambles, and Thompkins fit that bill. Nuke will be a great talent but if he wants to transfer good luck to him | |

| Your title is very ironic. Starting a thread furthering the Nuke rumors and stating the rumors won't die. | |

| I know that Nuke is suppose to be a talent, but I have yet to see where he is any better than anyone else on the field. I am very happy that he is not receiving punts any more. He scared the hell out of me back there. He never knew where the ball was in the air and how to catch it. Rogan is doing a much better job.
We need to use Nuke in the slot and get him the ball in open space to see what his ability in the open field. I would like to see that against an SEC defense instead of a Memphis State defense. Creer made Northern Illinois look bad on some plays but was limited in effectiveness against SEC talent. | |

| Nuke needs some growing up to do. I hope he does well and plays to his potential. He's throwing tantrums. He is just out of high school...hope time fixes him | |

He has had a hard time adjusting. He isn't the first kid to go through these kind of things. Everyone in FL wants the kid to fail. He had huge expectations here that were almost impossible to live up to. He is extremely talented. It is only a matter of time. Coach Kiffin obviously believes in him and is doing everything he can to help him succeed. He doesn't need us bashing him.
I think the kid is going to be an awesome player here. He needs some time to find his place. Give it to him. Support the kid. Hell....

| He's a young player and a young adult. I think as he matures he'll figure out that things will come his way just got to be patient. I think next year he'll look back on this incident and laugh about it. | |

| If Kiffin really thinks Nuke is going to catapult us into recruiting his area of Florida, we'll see a heavy dose of him tonight, Vandy and possibly Kentucky. If our staff thinks we don't need him, it'll be business as usual for the rest of the season. |
