Rondale Moore opting out

[Huskerwisdom]

Incredible.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but another from the Big Ten yesterday, opting out ... Michigan State starting DE, Jacub Panasiuk -- would have been a 3-year starter and one of only three returning starters on defense for the upcoming season.



The Big Ten is losing top players at a rate faster than all of the other Power Five conferences combined. Maybe it'd be best if there wasn't/isn't a postseason as the Big Ten is dwindling by the day.

His brother's in camp with the Raiders right now as an UDFA, so he's probably considering if he needs another year or if he'll just skip and enter the draft rather than playing a shortened season

No, definitely not. But I just said, more from the Big Ten than the other conferences combined (thus far) -- though it's actually a tie as the SEC (Vandy) had a kicker depart that I missed counting.

Current tally: Big Ten 5, ACC 2, Pac-12 2, SEC 1.

Illinois also had a senior RB drop out.

The opt-outs will certainly increase, but right now the percentage is very small. There are 1,190 scholarship football players in the Big Ten, so 5 is a percentage of 0.4%.

Purdue game just got a lot easier. We could not stop that guy

Percentage is small -- but the talent is significantly greater. The Big Ten thus far has lost its top two WR's and top LB.

Not sure how it will be considered "a lot easier". Moore didn't play in the 2019 game and Nebraska still couldn't beat Purdue.

Good news for us. The guy just scares the crap out of me every time he touches the ball. Never forget what he did to THE Ohio state team 2 years ago.

I wonder if there's even been a player to play in as few college games as Rondale Moore to declare for the NFL draft.

I declared in '86 having played exactly zero division 1 football games.

I win?

 

[HUSKER HOT SAUCE]

MEH, let 'em all opt out, our schedule apparently is set up against us from the B1G schedulers anywho. Maybe all of our opponents will have to forfeit and we win the B1G by default. I think that that would be about the same as having an easy schedule.... WEEEEEEEE

He will graduate in 2.5 years while playing football. College ain’t what it used to be.

 

[Voice Of Reason]

"Rondale is currently at 1,000 percent," said Brohm via a Zoom call. "He's looked great, like he always has. He is feeling good. He has worked extremely hard in the offseason. I mean, he is on a mission."

Now, a day later, Moore is bolting West Lafayette.

True
I wouldn’t imagine many will “opt-out” if they aren’t pretty sure that they will make it at the next level....unless of course, there are some health issues or personal things they are needing to take care of...

Well this is one good thing about having little to no stars......they stay in school because they can't play in the NFL. Huge loss for the Boilers. Gives NU a shot to win in WL. Parsons leaving State Penn is major, however way too much talent for Huskers at this point in time.

Penn State just got crossed off the “impossible” list as well.

 

[HuskerRef]

Hard to blame any of these kids for opting out. At this point I'd be surprised if football even happens......

What did you declare? A case of tequila and some cigars?
