Porter Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 If you believe the talk and I'm not sure I do, we should expect to lose 4 DL this off season. I'd guess Collins and VV. not sure who the others are but lots of scuttle butt from parents saying there isn't any communication with coaches except a few who have been told they weren't sure where they fit. I would assume it might be the twins. Quote Link to comment

There would be ZERO reason for them to leave, they will be getting considerable playing time very soon. 2 Quote Link to comment

Scratchtown Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 VV has always had a very high ceiling for potential. Even he has said that he has taken plays off. He's not anywhere close to that ceiling, and just like TA, what makes people think he is just going to all of a sudden get it. Mentality is the hardest thing to coach in kids. Because it's always left to choice. You guys can say it's the coaches job to motivate all you want but if the kid doesn't want it, it doesn't matter. I'm not saying VV is that guy, I'm just saying that I've always been let down when it comes to our "phenom" DTs. Him and Collins. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not saying this is even an option, but - - I cannot think of a graduate transfer being anything but a skill position - usually a QB. They are the ones that get all the press, but I can't recall any non-skill position player who did this. Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thinking VV stays. Take it for what it's worth but FoxSports has him going 5-7, and see I him going to the lower end of that, with his injuries and stamina issues. Hopefully he'll stay and improve for a year and get to where he needs to be. Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Has he ever played a full season? I hope he stays and has a chance to play a full season. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thinking VV stays. Take it for what it's worth but FoxSports has him going 5-7, and see I him going to the lower end of that, with his injuries and stamina issues. Hopefully he'll stay and improve for a year and get to where he needs to be. Its a pay day, BUT next year good be huge. Davis twins, healthy Freedom..... 2nd year in systems.....

Hujan Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Why are people assuming he leaves? I think Collins might benefit from another year. Valentine? Give me a break. Dude needs a lot more seasoning at this level before he can realistically think NFL. It's not even close, IMO. Quote Link to comment

I would agree that VV has been a slight disappointment at NU, but I won't say the same for Collins. Maliek has had a very good career at NU. He has dominated at times this year, even when facing double and triple teams due to a complete lack of edge rusher. Quote Link to comment
