It's still a dream that Wandale will come back, but it's still possible. With that being said, he will be an all-pro slot receiver. Dude has the "it" that you need.
Did Wandale improve draft stock with that performance?

I agree, the only issue with Robinson is that there aren’t many 5’9” 170lb receivers in the NFL and his his durability in the professional ranks would come into question by teams. Heart wise he is 6’5” 275lbs. I also hope he returns but if not I want to thank him for letting us witness his spectacular season.
They did, but Nebraska didn't use Robinson very well, I understand they tried to (mis)use him as a running back. No wonder they have a terrible, losing program when they can't realize what a natural talent they had.
I enjoyed the schadenfreude of reading their board on Sunday. All of them talking about how much of a stud Wandale is when he’s utilized properly like he was at UK. And unlike he was at Nebraska.
No offense but I find that hard to believe unless they don’t follow the team very closely. When Wandale transferred to Kentucky Iowa fans were all over the message boards laughing at Nebraska.
I will be surprised if he doesn’t go pro and actually there are some pretty well known receivers around his size. Hilton, Welker, Cobb and Antonio Brown to name a few. A lot of good receivers coming out this year but he’s definitely one of the best.
Nebraska knew what they had. He was by far the best player on their team. The problem was that he was being overused as a RB and his QB was leading him into some nasty hits.
He only improved his stock if NFL scouts actually watch football games. Any question you had about his size and durability was shot to hell. He plays bigger than most 6'3" receivers. I know it sounds crazy but his catch radius is to the point that you can actually use him as your possession receiver if you want to. Plus he showed the one thing that can't show up in the combine. He's simply a winner.
Pros get NIL money as well in addition to salary. The only way Wandale makes more from NIL is if he goes undrafted or is on the scout team. Even if he is a low round draft pick he will still be as popular in the Kentucky market as he is now.
It’s water under the bridge now but it’s hard to believe he ever chose Nebraska over UK in the first place.
If he was being recruited now I don’t think he chooses Nebraska over UK. I think now he would see what’s happening with both programs and not even consider the Huskers.

I'd be willing to bet the most popular college athletes make more in sponsorship deals than NFL benchwarmers.
How many Bowden NFL jerseys were sold around these parts?
It really is pretty amazing how much difference one dynamic playmaker can make in the whole complexion of an offense. Totally different team without Wandale.
