Mavric Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Apparently he's been missing out on some valuable coaching instruction... 1 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I was in Frankfort, KY last week, and as you enter town after exiting the interstate, there is a sign that says: "Home of Wandale Robinson, 2018 Kentucky Mr. Football ." Hope he's getting paid for that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I still wish him the best. He will be good at Kentucky. We will be fine, and a lot taller. It's a win-win for both Wandale and the Husker offense. No hate. 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Had 5 catches for 125 yards and 2 touchdowns one being a 62 yarder. Averaged 25 yards per catch. Damn. 3 Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Happy to hear he's doing well, he was going to get killed here in this offense the way we were using him. Good luck kid! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
VizionNE Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 ULM. He’ll do well but Levis may get him killed before this season is over. Not an upgrade over AM imo. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 ... who doesn't have great speed. Glad he is doing well. Interesting that this play is on a handoff... Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 5 receptions for 101 yards. 3 rushes for 73 yards in the win over Missouri. Wildcats are 2-0. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Wan'Dale explains what we all knew as to why he left - he was being misused. The Homecoming King: How Wan’Dale Robinson's return to the Kentucky Wildcats is paving his way to the NFL But Robinson's path to racking up yards and scores in Kentucky blue has been a winding one. In reality, it almost never happened. After initially committing to play at Kentucky, the four-star recruit then changed his decision and ultimately chose to go to Nebraska to start his collegiate career. Now, after being named second-team freshman All-American in his first season, we find Robsinson back in his home state for his local team. The reason was usage, but not a lack of it. Rather, it was the direction of it. “I didn’t expect to play as much running back and do the inside zone as much as I did,” Robinson said. “My freshman year, I just kind of did it out of necessity. A lot of running backs got hurt. As a freshman, I’m doing whatever I can to make sure that we’re winning and just keeping us in ball games. The next year, kind of the same scenario, and we were just in a lot of close games and weren't really able to figure it out. “Just really coming to the point where I’m like okay, at the next level, am I really going to be in the backfield taking these handoffs and things like that? I mean, obviously, I know there’s a chance that I’ll take the jet sweeps and do some schematic things that have me as a running back, and I'm fine with that. I just don’t want to be truly stuck back there playing running back and having to learn pass protections and things like that. So, it was really good to get here. And now, I’m really just kind of focusing on receiver. And I’ll do some gadget things here and there just because that’s my skill set, and I know I can do them and have a history of doing them.” After asking if there was a pass-protection rep in practice or in games that stuck out to him as the moment he realized he didn’t want to be doing that too often, Robinson smiled with one instance that came to mind. “We were playing Iowa last year. I was playing running back, and they brought a little cross-dog blitz,” Robinson said. “And one of the [linebackers] came, and I had cut him. And he didn’t fall all the way. He just fell on me, and I was like, ‘oh yeah, if I’m cutting him and he’s just doing this, this ain’t for me.’ So, at that point, it was time to make a change.” Robinson doesn’t have to take on many linebackers these days. Instead, he’s blowing right by them on his way to open space as a slot receiver. His 86.3 PFF overall grade currently ranks fifth among the 87 FBS wide receivers who have seen 15 or more targets. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Quote “A lot of people, especially with me transferring, didn’t really want to tell me I could be a full-time receiver and do the things I’m doing now,” Robinson told reporters after his 181-yard day against the Aggies. “My old coach wanted to tell me that I wasn’t a receiver, so I just put my head down and worked since I got here in the spring and wanted to make the impact that I could. “Now, luckily, things are paying off.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/don-t-worry-no-1-113000982.html His old coach sounds like a real f***ing moron. Wait. Oh no. 1 Quote Link to comment
