Transfer Portal?

[Toe]

Any word on how Markese Stepp's visit went?

The kid from Montana was only a 3rd team All-American? What the heck would he have to do to be 1st team?

From the 247 article above.

Nebraska finds itself in position as a potential option for Montana transfer wide receiver Samori Toure, a 2019 FCS Associated Press Third Team All-American, who is leaving the Grizzlies for an opportunity at the FBS level.

The problem I have with the swing passes is that Adrian often throws a flat pass that has gone backwards for a turnover or it doesn’t give the receiver momentum downhill.
 

Sometimes he stares down the outlet pass before the first WR even comes out of a break, looks for the WR which now makes him late, then looks back at the outlet and the timing is too late there too. 
 

He’s gritty, he’s a bulldog, he’s a team player, but yet something seems unnatural. Most likely a mixture of talent and especially coaching to his strengths.

 

Some of that I think is an attempt to draw the defense to an outlet pass, but I agree the timing coming off of it is wrong a fair amount. It's like the almost TD to Warner against OSU - stared down the (think it was a bubble) other receiver and it worked drawing the defense there, but then he was a hair late back to Warner. And then also gunned it way harder than necessary and looked like he expected Warner to stop so behind him too. But I think the stare downs are designed, just not executed cleanly.

Yep. Read that on the message board last night. His dad tried to pry him away from Nebraska after the 2019/20 season too. Poor kid. I bet the people put down some unfriendly ultimatum to get him to Kentucky. 

I remember that. I think his  parents did not want him to come initially either. If memory serves.

BTW, has there been any interest from Cade Johnson? He's from Papillion, he's the son of former Husker Clester Johnson, he's first team WR on several of those lists, and he's in the portal. But there was a bit of a brouhaha earlier this year about Clester being less than impressed with the current state of the program, and his brother Keagan just signed with Iowa.

I thought he announced he is going pro.

I think Cade is entering the draft.

Yeah, he's on the senior bowl roster so pretty sure he's out. I think he was in the portal thinking about the fall season, but that didn't happen and I think he's moving on.

Ahh, you're right. He was originally in the portal this fall, but then changed his mind and declared.

Saw on reddit Markese Stepp (4* RB from USC, went to HS in Indiana) was in town and considering us - anyone heard anything about that? I don't know any of the redditors credibility, and there are unsubstantiated claims for most teams at this point.

@Husker in WI I just asked that a few posts above. I think it's confirmed that he was here, but no word how it went.

Oh my bad, I got lost in the Toure stuff. Glad he was at least here apparently, glancing through 247's portal he always stuck out but we don't have an obvious connection so I didn't think we'd be in the running.

I'm not reading though this whole thread. Can someone tell me if Wandale actually is in the transfer portal?
