The transfer to Louisville was the bad advise. That should be obvious.There is no way of knowing if he got bad advice because we don't know how this will turn out for him and really however it does turn out we won't know if it would have been better at NU.
What if he becomes a 2 year starter and ends up getting drafted? Or what if he doesn't get drafted but still have a good career there and has a great time.
We don't know if he would ever be a starter here if he stayed. I would say the only we may know if it was a bad decision FOR HIM is if he never gets to start at Rice at QB.
