2018 Verbal: Bartholomew Ogbu

[Snowgoose]

From what I've heard of Ogbu, I don't think this is a fair comparison to make. Grady apparently had some mental health issues and Weah had other issues. Haven't heard of anything like that about Ogbu?

Agree this is not fair to Ogbu as he is a good kid. Sometimes you can get in a coaches dog house and never get out. Not saying this is what happened here, but it happens all the time between players that are almost equally as talented. From what I have heard this is how Ogbu felt right or wrong.

Ogbu wants another chance and he will get that chance. I believe he has two years left and still may develop into a nice player for UND. It was a bummer he wasn't a notch better for us as I don't think with more playing time he would have left.

I wasn't implying that Ogbu had the same problems as the other two, just that he's going to be a work in progress. Obviously if he was field ready we would have kept him. So no way was I saying he had mental issues, but he's certainly not ready to be a top notch player either. But then they have much lower standards at un_.

As I said before good luck to him. He was just too far behind as a FB player then other players that have been playing much longer. He has the tools but he just wasn't able to beat out other guys with more experience. He'll probably be great at UND with more playing time. Just didn't work out here for him unfortunately.

Got it - your answer is that NDSU's dominance is strictly because of talent alone. I appreciate your feedback on my intellect. A coaching tip for you - your emotional intelligence requires some growth if my retort triggers such a response.

You're saying it was NDSU's decision that he leave?

You're saying it was NDSU's decision that he leave?

Was their decision not to give him playing time due to him not being at the performance level of other players on the team. Seems UND might be a better fit for his talent level. Nothing shocking here.

So NDSU is only good at physically developing guys got it

Your comprehension sucks. You may want to develop your own brain.

[THEsocalledfan]

Gap in development? Stick was light years ahead of Studsrud out of Highschool. Nobody with half a brain would even try and compare the two players.

But you have the Bubba. Makes up for any talent gap. /purple

I'm so sensitive that I actually feel sorry for him........

One would think UND would be better at physically developing players since they hit the offseason weights about a month earlier than NDSU does.
