Either declare and start making millions in the NFL or continue on at NDSU and become something beyond legendary.
Transferring?????? Accomplishes nothing, and risks everything.
Had he just declared, everyone knows he runs a 4.5 or perhaps with some excellent track training even a 4.4, he would have been a combine star and gone in the 2nd round of this draft. The OLB crop outside of the 1st round in this draft is pathetically weak.
This was a blatantly a dumb-azz! move, and I am mortified that no one close to him talked him out of it.
Friends don't let friends drive their lives like a drunk driver.
The guy is fundamentally sound in every aspect of the game and his tackling and coverage skills are elite. He has...NOTHING TO PROVE!!!
All this stuff is on TAPE for everyone to see.
If he gets dinged up next year with a power 5 team and is still able to hit the field but at 70%, all he does is put out a bunch of bad tape, and ends up a 4th round pick at best; or, he has a serious injury and becomes an afterthought.
If he gets injured as a Bison, he just waits until he is 90% or even 100%, and then goes to work and looks great. If he stays healthy and dominates....he acquires legendary accolades and gets drafted 1st day.
Isaiah Simmons is probably going to be drafted top five this spring based primarily on his stellar forty time. Jabril doesn't need to play in the SEC to get recognized; everybody, who is anybody already knows who he is and what he can do.
The list of guys who could have been drafted in the top 2 rounds of the NFL draft but stayed the last year only to get injured and fade to black is a mile long.
Do I wish him the best and more...Oh yeah, God Bless him everywhere all the time. Am I thankful for all he has done as a Bison student athlete? enormously!
It just is what it is....rank stupidity! Where are this kids friends and family??
I don't know, maybe he just wants to find out first hand what it is really like to lose multiple games and not be in the running for a title.
There is a saying, "A solider who does not want to be a General is a bad solider". An athlete who does not want to compete is a bad athlete. We should respect him for trying to challenge himself and above all, chasing his dreams. Anybody who does not understand this are the stupid, not Jabril.
Re: Jabril Cox transfer update
He was going to lsu and new it the entire time. Can't blame him teams completely avoided him last year. He wants to make plays. What he does now may change do to this virus. Crazy how a little virus is going to be the end of the greatest dynasty ever. Dam.
What should bother everyone here is who and how someone got in Jabril's ear.
Re: Jabril Cox transfer update
There is a very real possibility that we don’t have college football next year. I am hoping for the best, but if you are listening to the State response plans, then you’ll know that most states have contingency plans in place to use sports stadiums as temporary overflow hospitals. The peak of infections in Minnesota is currently expected at around 11 weeks. I expect it to be around the same is many other states as well. You do the math on that. I don’t expect any sport activities to start before the peak and probably not for a bit after. Obviously the projected peaks are only as good as the data put into the models, but it seems like this is a marathon, not a sprint.

This is a tough pill to swallow but people need to start making peace with it now. We're not playing football in 2020.

I will take that bet. There will be Football
Re: Jabril Cox transfer update
If this is still going on during football season, our country has much bigger and scarier issues to deal with than the loss of football.

While I hate to agree with this... I do agree.
