Just 6 pages of them expressing how much they don’t care about this.
There is a Nebraska troll that is fueling quite a bit of it.
Are you including Council Bluffs and surrounding area in that comment?
We will likely start zero seniors on offense in 2019. And still be awesome.
It was the marriage counselor story that brought Wandale back. You're welcome.
JD and Wandale... this is huge! The offense will be unstoppable, we just need a Wideout to step up and fill in for Stanley.
Is it next season yet!!!
Is it next season yet!!!
The pressure was immense. Suffice to say there’s a lot of butthurt on the UK board right now.
I’m very disappointed he’s decided not to play at UK but ultimately it’s up to the UK coaching staff to sell Wandale on their vision of him playing in the program. Obviously they were unable to do so.
I guess I’m thankful he’s not going to Tennessee or UofL or some other hated rival.
Other than hoping he stays healthy and injury free, I’m not gonna wish either good luck or bad luck. So be it.
I love it. Saw a few familiar names over there though..
Might have been posted already. He ran the fastest handheld 40 in the nation this year at the Midwest combine. 4.22.
Reminds me of an old d-coordinator I had who, when watching film of a fast guy, would whistle and say "he gone". I hope so!
It's the way he handled the situation. He has been talking for weeks about getting other KY guys to come on board. And even the day he received his AA jersey, he said in an interview that he was going to sign his LOI the 19th to UK. Then 2 hrs later there was scuttlebutt about him flipping to Nebraska. So you can see why so many UK fans have ill will towards him. Commitment to a school means nothing until they sign the LOI nowadays. Good luck next year!
I'm not sure people understand how fast that is. But it's handheld so I'm not sure it's actually that fast...
Osborne always said add .15 seconds to a hand held time. IF, IF that is a legit time for a kid still in high school...wow. The problem with hand held is there’s so much room for error.
I think they usually add .12 - .16 to convert it to the electronic equivalent, so he's in the 4.34 - 4.38 range. I think that'll work.

Still a phenomenal time. Can't teach fast.Would love one of those like what OSU has with Campbell where he gets the ball and you go, "Ohhhhhh shit..."
Kid reminds me of Ameer but faster and better hands. Maybe not quite as much ability to run through contact but it's hard to say when his film is all him just running by people for TDs...

I agree but Ameer was really only able to run through contact after a year in the weightroom. I remember a few times early in his career where he was brought down by a few arm tackles. If my memory is right I think Ameer was about 170 to 180 lbs coming into college. What made Ameer so good by the time he left was his dedication to reaching his full potential.
1. This is a huge recruiting victory for Nebraska as they had targeted Robinson as a high priority prospect last February. The Huskers coaching staff put an awful lot of time and effort into Robinson's recruitment and looked to have his commitment locked up in the weeks leading up to his original announcement date on November 1. Things did not play out that way though as he switched to Kentucky, but NU did not stop in their pursuit of Robinson and were able to eventually secure his commitment just two weeks before he will sign his letter of intent. You have to give a lot of credit to the job NU running backs coach Ryan Held and offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Troy Walters did in this recruitment.
2. There was an awful lot of pressure for Robinson to stay home and go to Kentucky, but at the end of the day his fit in Nebraska's offense played a deciding factor. He looks to be tailor-made to play the Duck-R position in Scott Frost's explosive offense. He will primarily line up as a slot receiver, but will also be featured in the backfield as a running back at times as well. It's a role that not only features all of his skills, but also creates a lot of mismatches for opposing defenses.
3. As a receiver, Robinson shows to have very reliable hands. He primarily worked out of the slot in high school which is where he will mostly work at when he gets to college. He's a player that can not only turn a bubble screen into a long play by making a defender miss in the open field and taking it the distance, but he also has the top-end speed to be a vertical threat in the passing game as well. He's not the biggest target, but he certainly has the leaping ability to go up and get the football and make catches in a crowd when he needs to.
4. Robinson is a powerful runner with the ball in his hands whether that is after a catch or as a running back. He's got plenty of speed, but I think what really separates him from most others out there is his quickness and overall elusiveness. He's a nightmare to square up and tackle in the open field. His change of direction and ability to cut without losing speed is pretty special. He has the strength and power to break tackles and the breakaway speed to be a big play threat whenever he has the ball in his hands.
5. Aside from impacting the game as a receiver or as a ball carrier, Robinson is also a pretty dynamic kick returner. He's someone that the Huskers will definitely be able to take a look at as both a punt returner and kickoff returner which are definitely areas that need improvement from last season.
6. The bottom line is that the Huskers will return a potent offense for next season and it now has added a very special weapon to the mix with Robinson. Quarterback Adrian Martinez had a fantastic season as a true freshman and he will now have another versatile playmaker at his disposal along with guys like JD Spielman and Maurice Washington as well. Nebraska's offensive coaches are very creative and should have a lot of fun coming up with different ways to maximize Robinson's talents for years to come.
7. Robinson might be one of the more decorated players they've secured a commitment from in quite awhile. The dynamic athlete was named the 3A Player of the Year, he won the Louisville Quarterback Club's 26th annual Paul Hornung Award and most recently was named Mr. Football in the state of Kentucky. He finished his high school career as the state's No. 2 all-time scorer with 781 career points, 284 of which he scored as a senior this past season. He's an early enrollee, but before he arrives on campus for the spring semester he will play his final high school football game in the 2019 All-American Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.
***Senior season stats: 8 of 10 passing for 173 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. 206 carries for 1,973 yards (9.6 ypc) and 30 touchdowns. 31 catches for 725 yards (23.4 ypc) and 11 touchdowns. On defense he recorded 113 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, one sack, three interceptions one of which was returned for a touchdown, five pass breakups, six forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery which was returned for a touchdown. He also had five kickoff returns for 111 yards and six punt returns for 170 yards and two touchdowns. Robinson scored 45 total touchdowns and had seven 2-point conversions on the year.

Welcome aboard. As with every commit, I won't get too excited until the LOI is signed. Always good to have a potential playmaker on board.
Can we start to call that Husker-R?
Or go with the retro "Wingback"?
And Wandale can be "Wandale the Jet."
I actually like sticking with the term Duck-R. It shows the continuity with learning under Kelly at Oregon, which, for a while there, was putting up numbers that are still hard to believe on offense.
Also, ducks are hilarious.
