Low risk, high upside.

I like it….this kid can make people miss while still getting downhill fast. Adds an element we’ve missed for a while now. A physical WR looking to fight for every yard he can when the ball is in his hands. Prob not the best route runner, but in space, he’s dangerous.

I think it’s an interesting play…..I like it in theory based on how teams play Jeremiah.

Assuming you're right about his routes, this is one of the great things about the portal: a kid with ability/speed and some results gets the chance to develop as a legit receiver. Could be similar to Klare's experience last off-season and season at TE; converse, of course, as he came in as a good receiver, but not a legit TE at the tOSU level.

That’s true. It makes you wonder about development and depth and future starters.

I mean if the buyout is at their discretion it still has to be reasonable. I’d bet with all the bullshit associated with this lawsuit he ends up making quite a bit less at LSU than he would at Washington.

The second one of a school refusing to enter him into the portal is interesting. When this happened last year at Wisconsin the player had signed a 2 year memorandum of understanding because the house settlement hadn’t been reached (so he couldn’t sign a revenue sharing agreement).

From an article last year. The second paragraph is nuts and seems to invalidate the transfer portal window and process entirely.

Lucas's representation claims that after he was denied the right to enter the transfer portal, he unenrolled from the university. At that point, he claims that he connected with Miami and signed with the school. Wisconsin also claims it has evidence that Miami tampered with Lucas before he entered the portal.

"NCAA rules do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately," the NCAA said in a statement to Yahoo Sports.
