Age is a poor excuse for deceit. Say what you will. That said, if Stoops wants him, fine.
Wan'Dale Robinson is in the portal!

I hope he comes here but I also hope he doesn't turn into Bossman Fat 2.0. Gives us good play for several games but seems to be a constant distraction and then quits midseason. That would be very disappointing to say the least.
He's definitely got some skills that we can and should be able to use. We all wanted him in Blue and White out of HS and I can only assume he's better now. If he does transfer to UK, I think the passing game with the new players and scheme meshing will look light years different from this year. Any reasonable fan ought to expect our QBs to throw for 200+ yards consistently with the talent and scheme we should be using this coming year.

There are a lot of schools closer to his native Kentucky than Nebraska. About anything East of the Mississippi.
Nebraska's top WR Robinson says he'll transfer
Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson says he's transferring out of Nebraska with the hopes of going to a school closer to his native Kentucky.www.espn.com
In case anyone didn't see this
It might be more understandable if you actually read his whole statement. But, I am sure those Mississippi schools are on his list, too.
Don't believe there is a list. I would expect this to be wrapped up very soon.
If y'all would listen, no less than 3 people in this thread who have good info said or basically said he is coming here. I'm not holding a grudge. Dude can play and we need playmakers at WR. Bring him on all day.
Agreed, the fact he reaffirmed his commitment and the next day committed to Nebraska was a huge slap in the face.
He is a home grown Kentucky talent.
I for one sure hope he comes home, plays for UK and is the dynamic player maker we all know he is and can be for us.

I’m going to wait to see where he ends up before I get worked up this time.
he is listed in the portal with a 100% projection to UK
if the projection is accurate, the field will open up dramatically for all the wide receivers and running backs as he has Lock and Badet type speed
Kentucky is introducing a new offense that will be more balanced. Gran put an emphasis on the running game. Coen uses the running game as a means of working towards the PA pass. Wandale will get to the league regardless of where he goes.
There's really only one destination and it seems he already had his mind made up before he entered the portal.
And, absent setting up a pass later in the game or using WR from multiple positions, UK does not need Robinson in the backfield playing RB. Smoke, Tisdale and/or McClain should have what Liam wants. Assuming CRod is back, the RB room looks pretty stable.
Exactly. We have talent deep NFL talent at the RB spot. His dad doesn't want him taking those hits like he was. He will be used in space and he wants to showcase his route running abilites for the league because NE didn't let him show his full package.
McClain was used as a returner, would have to assume hands are not an issue for him. That will be cool to see what he can do in space.
I'm hoping him and Tisdale are used as receiving backs in this system. I don't want to lose either of those dudes.
Can’t blame either one really, coming out of high school and you have a chance to play for Stoops or Saban......
Who would you want your kid playing for ?
Saban every single time !
And, at one point, Gran claimed Smoke ran solid routes and had really good hands, if I recall correctly.
It's looking like it. Supposedly, he has spoken to Coen about the direction of our offense. Note that that's a rumor.
If the point is to be closer to home so you can see family, is being 400 miles from home really a significant difference compared to 600 miles from home? I suppose 400 is more drivable for a weekend trip but if your point is to be closer to family, are either of you making that 7-8 hour drive (each way) with any kind of frequency?
He's crazy if he doesn't come here, assuming Coen takes any part of the rams offense to Lexington. The jet motion is a perfect match for his skill set.
Iirc we had smoke in the slot a game or two and he hauled in a tough catch.
Imo at least one of those rbs should be converted to slot to run this jet motion.

I agree he's the best candidate for the move. Although I'm wondering if there's just no room for him anywhere. Otherwise seems they would've already made the move.
I worry they'll push him out but maybe not. They seem to love McClain which I get because he runs hard so theres no reason to move him over. Push out some WRs and then move a guy like Tisdale over.
I agree with you. I want any Kentucky kid who, for whatever reason, has decided he wants to be and play here ... even if he did not originate his collegiate career here. People change their minds, especially kids. GO BIG BLUE !!
