Mo Washington
- Thread starter Red Storm Rising
- Start date
Nope he wasn't. I was referencing off-field behavior. In that aspect, he's nowhere near LP but give him some time, if something doesn't change.
Don't generally link to video -- I'm old school that way. Don't twit, don't like video news. Want to read it in black and white.
And I was referencing the "Some people did something." Most of us know that is a paraphrase of a comment and most are making a concerted effort to steer away from those areas. TIA
The DA in San Mateo ruined that kids life with his dishonest persecution of a poor black kid. The girls mother is a piece of work as well. If there ever was a conspiracy that is it. Without the pressure of the unlawful prosecution Washington might still be with the team.
Basically Tanner saw issues with Mo skipping class, being late for practice, etc. He just simply sat down with MO and asked how he could help him out? Mo then said get th F*** off me. And the 2 almost game 2 blows which would've been bad for MO as Tanner was a state wrestling champion and at least 100 pounds heavier. Good riddance to a cancer on the team.
Watch out, I called MW that some time ago and was roasted on here for committing blasphemy or something. LOL!
Thanks for posting the info. I appreciate it!
Sorry that you were. I don't think Tanner gained anything by saying what he said. He was asked the question and was trythful. Pretty much MO wanted to play ball and not goto school.
I thought it was hilarious. My skin is pretty thick about stuff like that.
Too bad MW wasn't serious about taking advantage of a golden opportunity!
And wasn’t about the brotherhood of the team
True. But keep in mind you are comparing Senior LP with Freshman Mo who came into fall camp underweight and out-of-shape.
We can only speculate how good he might have become by his senior year with a strong weight-training regiment, good coaching, and a heaping-helping of maturity.

Mo Washington had all the warning signs before he was signed that there could be problems. But coaches see on field potential and many still have the belief that an organized stable environment and maturity of age will change that. For some young people it does; for some, they never change or they change when they are 30 or 40.
I don't recall his problem prior to coming to Nebraska
The college part of being a college athlete does trip up a few folks.
Multiple high schools in multiple states.
The issue of his eligibility before he got to Nebraska because of those issues. Academic issues were always a problem.
There was the question of his expulsion from Trinity HS in Texas. He moved back to California to finish to HS after having been at 2 HS in California prior to transferring to Texas.
No made up nor rewrote. I'm sure the coaching staff looked into all the transfers but there were flags there. In fact they tired to help him get eligible.
Signee Washington's academic status in question, NU requests waiver
“He got in trouble, and he was expelled,” said Cason, who declined to say why Washington was expelled, other than that it was for behavior and not academics. Washington did not immediately answer text messages, and his phone is not allowing calls.
Cason said Nebraska helped Washington get set up with another high school in California in order to graduate on time. HuskerOnline reported Tuesday that Nebraska will request an NCAA academic waiver for Washington so he can enroll at NU but not play as a freshman.
Washington’s academic status has long been a question, as he’s attended multiple high schools. He spent his freshman and sophomore years at The King’s Academy in Sunnyville, California, before transferring to Oak Grove High School. A California high school sports governing body ruled Washington ineligible at Oak Grove, so he sat out his junior year before transferring to Trinity Christian.
