Lennon must've backed off of the kid. It all makes sense!

I say he got a little taste of reality and decided to go home where he had a support system in place to massage his confidence.
There, I spun this and I didn't even have to stretch to do it.;)
His backup??? You lost me. I was under the impression he never played a single down for the Bison, therefore meaning that he was never a starter. Meaning that there was no backup to him.Quote:

Yes, the talent he saw here after being at Wisconsin scared him. All of our talent on defense was so apparent last year. We had guys sitting on the bench who could have started for anywhere.Quote:

One particular play that Leevon blew up ended with Coach Hazelton coming running from damn near the other side of the field yelling "LEEVON....LEEVON....LEEVON..." He finally turned around, probably worried he screwed up, and Hazelton came running and gave him a huge high 5. Making sure the kid knew he did it correct. The coaching on the field was very impressive to me. I think the youth on this team is very evident after watching. I hope the fanbase is very patient, because the next few years could be special. The young talent is amazing.
Leevon's gonna wear his football war wounds like a crown!Quote:

He is a Wiscy kid who didn't want to leave the state, that is pretty clear. And for those who think he left wiscy because he wasn't starting. False, he left because he wasn't allowed to even compete for the starting job.
If he wasn't even allowed to compete for playing time, he must have fallen way out of favor, he must have way under achieved in his time in Madison. Is that your impression Bill? He must not be very strong in the teammate category. If he had the ability, I would liked to have seen him in green and yellow, but I'm not for wasting scholarships either, we've done enough of that.

He's gone. Oh well. This will at least give some of our younger guys more opportunities
This what i know about Wisconsin and Bielema. He "punishes "those kids who are hurt or injured. Tyler was a huge part of his particular class, especially when you consider he was the homegrown star. A similar thing happened to Kim Royston as well and i'm sure many more. Tyler did nothing wrong other than injure his shoulder. From what some have said, Bielema thought he should have came back from it a lot sooner. I haven't heard why he decided against NDSU, i'm shocked as much as anyone.Quote:

When kids are injured in a big time program and cant compete they are actually pushed to the wayside because the next person needs to step up and the coaches need to turn there full attention to those who are playing. Until a player recovers and can actually compete they are an after thought.Quote:

It sucks that he isn't coming here but I'm not going to get to bent out of shape about a kid who has never played one down in a Bison uniform.
Why not???Quote:

From the media blog:
Turns out transfer Tyler Westphal from the University of Wisconsin never got his paperwork to NDSU, so you probably can question how serious he was about the Bison. The defensive end, at one time a highly touted recruit, is apparently going to play at Division III Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
Wow, a highly regarded DE prospect in all of DI will end up going to a DIII school. Pathetic unless he or someone in his family has health issues. To have all that talent and downgrade your playing level. Wish I would have had Tylers size and talent back in my playing days! I sure would have played DI ball.Quote:

What he meant was...."The Wisconsin coaching staff realized that I am completely full of shit. I am looking for a new coaching staff to snow and the guys at NDSU are good enough that the coaches won't have to put up with a player full of shit.....better go DIII."
Just because a kid decides to go elsewhere doesn't mean you have a free pass to run him through the mud.Quote:

No one told him to say that we were all going to see what kind of kid he was by his work ethic....he did that on his own. Hey, I call it the way I see it. Maybe a little harsh but probably pretty closed to the bulls eye.Quote:

I'm done with this on the board but you can PM me if you like.
he left for a hot blonde, go back and look for the pic on this thread.
whatever, like my booster badger cousin said "there's a reason he couldnt play at U W and that he didnt want to try at NDSU"
end of story.
PM my ass. You slung the mud in public now defend it. Recruits change their commitments every day. I don't like it, but it's not like Tyler did anything especially out of the ordinary here to warrant personal attacks. You just don't like it because he decided not to play for your team. I'll even bet the great Scooter1 sometimes changes his mind and doesn't follow through on what he says he's going to do....guess Scooter must not be a man, Scooter must have a lot of growing up to do, Scooter must have no work ethic, Scooter must be full of shit, Scooter must be looking for coaches to snow....Quote:

What did you want him to say?
Bismarck press: "Coach Bohl, how is that Bismarck QB doing?"
Coach Bohl: "He'll be a fine practice squad QB for us this year."
Now, you guys don't want to hear that.
cy. u need a habit bro. crack? gambling? ladies? corn shucker?
PM your ass??? No. You Iowa State guys are sick. :smh:
How old are you? I'm starting to think Westphal should be the one giving you tips on how to act like a man.Quote:
