Good post and I agree. I also wouldn't mind seeing Luke back at Nebraska, but with the understanding that even if he wants to stay at QB, he will probably do some slot WR/RB, ala Bobby Newcombe while Crouch was at Nebraska.I'm waiting for someone to say that Frost is driving West on I-80 to go talk to the McCaffrey's, a la Solich going to Omaha to get Crouch back.
I think Luke is going to be really good for someone, but probably not at QB. Whoever guessed at his "late puberty" is right, IMO. He looks super coltish -- longish, skinny arms, big hands and feet. I think he'll be like his brother Christian and get thick in his '20's. I would like to see Luke come back, stand in front of the Unity Council and ask for another chance. Then he could work his ass off as a prelude to KICKING ASSES.
To play Devil's advocate, if Luke somehow did come back to NU, and if he were to stay, at least in name, at QB, who portals out amongst the QB's already on the roster? I would guess Smothers. But I think this is all theoretical as I doubt he comes back to NU.
