Wandale to the portal

brutal. going to be hard to explain this one away.
My thoughts are that there is no need to "explain it away". The kid says why he is leaving. This is the nature of college football right now. The issue to me, is that after 3 years, we haven't developed the depth to deal with departures like this. This team still needs to win next year and this cannot be an excuse not too.
Can't blame a kid for wanting to be closer to family. Now if he lands somewhere that's not closer......
He did his part and gave it his all, I feel like other factors outside his control are why he is leaving...if we had a QB who could throw, or a line that could block, or, or, or....what is this kid supposed to do? Stay with a program that appears to be trending down with a not very good QB?? I don't like him quitting, but I don't blame him either.
this is the nature of Nebraska football right now.
sure, tons of kids transfer, but there will be extremely few (if any) with his guaranteed place in the program and bona fides who choose to leave their program.
^^^ This.
Best of luck to Wandale...unless he goes to Purdue. Then I hope Deontai comes back for one more year to meet him over the middle.
Bummer. I owe a poster on here an apology. I assumed it was more BS like in the past.
Look forward to the offensive genius “we are young” remarks next year as to why his offense is again a complete laughing stock.
Brown has first shot I think. Hopefully Nixon will be ready to go and can help. Belt might be an option. Nance has a chance now? Maybe a Freshmen like Grimes can play the slot. We have some slot talent. It will be young. They can always play Rahmir out there as well.
doug peterson wins a super bowl and is fired 2 years later
frost has yet to qualify for a bowl game and has now seen his best WR leave the program 2 straight years, but needs more time to implement his system
Good players are leaving all over the place. I like him and hope it works out for him. But our staff needs to earn their pay and get him replaced. Go get someone in his spot or got get enough QB depth to feel OK about putting Luke in his spot. We have to win next year, maybe even more than before this announcement.
Crazy to think of the guys that could play this spot that have left. JD, Mo, Wandale and Fleming.
I think the best option on the roster is Luke, but that could create a QB depth problem.
If he truly wants to be closer to home. He's probably looking at OSU IU Purdue Kentucky Louisville or Tennessee. All seem like an upgrade over Scott and Adrian.
I think we will be much better than that and if we aren't I will agree with you that it is time for change. I guess we'll see.
I will never understand why Frost used him to run between the tackles as if he was a 230 pound back. Wandale was always better on the plays where he could operate in space.
Based on what? What is fine? If fine is 3-8 then I agree we will be fine.
He played hard, with nonstop effort.
Enjoyed watching him and wish him the best in the future.

This sucks but I’m not too surprised. He and his dad have always been a bit hard to please, I just thought he would last one more year then enter for his senior season. Bottom line I believe that losing and lack of direction/identify from the offense is what drove Wandale away. Frost has got to start winning and has to be a better coach. We are not going to out skill anyone in the big ten therefore we need to play smarter and harder than the other teams.
Where are all the posters that said it wasn’t true when I told you this back in October? Where are all the “but his dad said it’s not true” posters. Appreciate you getting him ready for us...Go CATS!
here's hoping the diabetes does you in before opening day!
It sucks but we'll be fine. We've got a lot of talent and someone will step up. Hopefully it forces for us to do a better job of getting more guys ready. I feel like he relied on Wandale too much with very mixed results.
Cant even hate
He didnt come here to play power back

Because our qb’s couldn’t get him the ball. Giving him touches from the RB position was a sure way of him getting touches.
Sucks to lose him, although it's not like we were good with him anyways.

quick question.... if Speilman was our best receiver and he didn't even start at a 6-4 TCU team. Not arguing if he was or was not our best receiver because i wish he stayed. Just saying that he wasn't even good enough to start for them outside of being a kick returner.
Lol. I tried telling all of you back in October on this board. Nebraska is an irrelevant football program and that’s not changing. I’m not saying UK is elite but they are much better program in a much better conference.
Dude is tough as nails. Someone is getting a heck of a player and awesome teammate
