[Husker] Leon Jackson leaves

[Mark Landin]

Interesting how you can divine Leon's thought processes and intentions
without, I suspect, ever having talked to him or met him.

Previous staffs tended to recruit more players who believed in the program, not themselves. As a hot shot who is staring at 3-4 on the depth chart for the next couple years, what's to keep them from leaving? They bought into football glory / NFL launch pad concepts, not contributing to a storied program. Furthermore, since they came in with so much bally-hoo, it will become a bigger deal when they leave. Hence the Sporting News coverage.

So far he's 3 for 3 (100%) in needing to turn to this route to fill up his class with the superstars Pedersen requires for him to keep his job. The downside to the JC strategy of course is the reduced time within the program and the frequent need to replenish.
