Mavric Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 FWIW, Sean Callahan has been saying that Wan'Dale was trending out for some time now. But he said he's heard nothing from any source that indicates McCaffrey is next in line. 5 3 Quote Link to comment

Can’t blame him but realistically he was gonna be a wildcat QB or WR long term here. Doesn’t have the arm talent. I think Luke would be a nice replacement for Wandale ... in regards to what we have left ... but ya, he is gonna be in the portal very soon and I don't blame him at all. I agree, doesn't have the arm. This is what I know ... we have our QB and we have our Center. Quote Link to comment
uberism Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 that is good news about Luke then. I do hope he moves to WR though. He could be a big time weapon at WR with this speed. Quote Link to comment
uberism Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 as a side note, sounds like the coaches would only add 1 high shool kid if Avante wants to sign with Nebraska. They are pushing to fill holes elsewhere. Quote Link to comment

Not saying I don't believe it but haven't read much into what this is tied to. One would thikn that not winning the starting job with a team that is in a poor state passing attack wise is some pretty clear writing on the wall that his future isn't cut out at the QB position. There are very very very very few examples of players who became NFL QBs with this much uncertainty and lack of track record in college. Only one that really comes to mind is Tannehill but he clearly had an arm at A&M, I don't see that with Luke and arm strength isn't something you're really improving by much at this point- you either got it or ya dont. I think he'd be an ideal flex player at both RB and WR. He'd be an excellent change of pace back behind Mills with that speed of his and he can most certainly learn to stretch the defense with certain route packages at the wide out spot... he's got too much speed and playmaking ability to not be on the field. It be a shame if he and those around him didn't see this as well 1 Quote Link to comment

I know nothing about him potentially leaving. Just colored me odd he started following 5 different coaches at different schools in the past couple weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment

Definitely an odd move unless you're looking at other options. Hope he stays but also hoping he looks at a receiver/Taysom Hill role for us instead of solely QB. Quote Link to comment

uberism Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Get Avante and 2 more good talents out of the portal and get to work. Only can bring in 3 more bodies via scholarship. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'd take TJ Carter from Memphis. Instant starter for us in the secondary -- if he would give us a look that is. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Tutt and others are great if 1/2 or 2/2 guys at S come back 100% snag him if you can. But I would think given how little our depth is at S you would rather find a guy there. The one thing about Tutt is he would instantly start on PR/KR. Was pretty good at it at Auburn. That’s a place where we do badly need to improve. And also where our special teams analyst may have an in with him and Tutt already being familiar with N. Quote Link to comment
