N’Kosi Perry suspended for LSU game, Richt comments

Sep 1, 2018

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami football program announced Saturday that redshirt freshman quarterback N’Kosi Perry will not be making the trip to Arlington, Texas, for the Hurricanes’ season opener against LSU due to a violation of team rules.

“We took some disciplinary action with N’Kosi but he has since responded well and made some positive changes,” head coach Mark Richt said. “He is in good standing going forward and we look forward to seeing him dress for our home opener, and through the rest of the season.”

The Hurricanes face the Tigers Sunday night at 7:30 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on ABC.

I trust Richt to handle this situation. Hopefully Perry gained some insight and toughens up and becomes the leader we all hope he can be .

It’s a red flag . But I think it’s laughable to write him off at this point. I remember when Sam Shields got in trouble and I was worried he would never live up to his potential . Shields went on to NFL greatness. Sometimes kids will act like kids, and they do grow up.

Agree, the young man stubbed his toe and hopefully will learn from it, as I'm sure we all have from time to time in our lives.

everyone missing the main point here. Richt is beloved by players and their families bc he is a father figure and teaches tough love. Just go ask Willis. Perry ****ed up and got his punishment no more and no less. He is not transferring bc he sat out LSU - THAT IS FO SU

I said Thanks, but you would think a mod would look at the board, before starting another thread. JMHO, but if that makes me an *******, so be it!

I realize it was already started. Wanted it up on the front page w/Richt's comment and so it could be tweeted out in article form. Everything must be posted on the message board before it can be converted into article form. Thanks for assuming though

Thanks for the explanation, as I have no clue how all this works. It's all PFM to me!

Kudos for your professionalism and for taking the time to explain to a malcontent.

I wish I had the patience to be as level headed with adults that act like spoiled little children.

Yeah, but you gotta ask this board's eternal question: can N'kosi play defensive tackle?

Difference right there.

Move him to TE?

A little discipline when needed is a good thing... the kid will return with lesson learned and be great.

As Cane fans, I'm sure that's what we all hope for.

Respectfully, just not worth it. Being a reporter/analyst calls for tough skin and no drama. Don't let the peanut gallery comments get to you.

Didn’t some poster on here claim that there was some big LSU suspensions coming? Anything on their side?

Way too premature to predict what will happen. Too many over reactors in this thread.

Oh well. He’ll never play here anyway. Not sure where the fascination came from. I’m sure someone will tell me.

The master plan is finally coming together. Piece by piece all of the pretenders to our QB throne will fall until the rightful heir assumes his place as the savior of this program. In the Million Dollar Arm I trust....

So, a kid gets suspended for a game he was never going to play in and he's a bust who's going to transfer? Holy **** do some of you panic too much.

It fascinates me how people overreact so much. People are already throwing Kosi under the bus and leaving him for dead.
All because of a suspension in a game he probably was not going to play in anyway.
