JJ Husker Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I haven't seen anyone speculate about the conference angle but I wonder if a little bit of his decision didn't have to do with the differences in how the B1G and SEC handled Covid. The SEC played more games and had some fans in the stands. I have to believe that matters at least a little bit to the players. Seems reasonable to suspect that things might not be completely returned to normal next season and the SEC is more likely to offer something closer to a typical football experience. Sorry, a little bored this afternoon... 1 Quote Link to comment

This seemed to happen a lot with JD. I don’t recall it being as much of a problem with Wandale though. But that’s just part of the game unfortunately. Probably happens more with shorter receivers I’m guessing. Quote Link to comment

It comes with the territory of being a smaller WR with an already inaccurate QB putting those guys into bad positions across the middle. Both of them got laid out to dry a lot. Tough SOBs. I think that’s one of many reasons why we are recruiting length. Don’t have to be as accurate with a 6’2 or 6’3 WR than a guy who is 5’8. Quote Link to comment

Tbf I saw this happen to opponent WRs in most if not all of our games this year. Quote Link to comment

I’m starting to get more players to watch on other teams then I have for us. I have no ill will towards WR at all either. I do think family was a part of this but so too was not being happy with how he was being utilized on offense. He basically said as much. Despite him leaving he'll always be a Husker to me. Proud of him for the way he handled himself and represented us while he was here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I am a big whatever with WR. I am however a WTF with the entire O side of the ball. Inefficient, ineffective and losing people. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Gonna be interesting to see how he does. IMO his pro prospects are not great. He’s a slower deanthony Thomas. He is a good but not great college player. Maybe he will prove me wrong at Kentucky..... but I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Wan’Dale didn’t have any decision in that. That was his dad and his trainer. Both of them are kinda sus dudes. 4 Quote Link to comment
VizionNE Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Tend to agree that the conference angle had an impact here. SEC vs B1G. WR wasn’t winning at Neb. He’s not going to win @ Kentucky either but he can put that on tape vs. SEC kids. When you add in his mother’s issues; really seems like he made the right call. He laid it on the line each Saturday while with big red. I’ll always respect that. Hope he tears it up into the future unless we happen to play them/him! Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 The frost angle of investment rings true. recruit, commit, design, lift, train, feed, tape, practice, games....Wan’dale was Frost’s focus. So much energy making him the focal. it sucks for Frost and it sucks the program to invest so much, which they do for like 90 players, but especially Wan’dale. Good luck to Wan’dale, I hope he gets what he wants but I also hope other players see how much investment it takes to raise players. And I hope they stay instead of bail. Quote Link to comment
