At first I thought he wasn't playing, and was very sad. then I read this and now I'm very excited.

Good news I can only assume!

Throw him the ball. Keep him happy!

It would be nice to get him back. It will be interesting to see who walks and who doesn’t on senior day. I am selfishly hoping Nubin returns for another year.

It’s not like Senior Day is a contract written in stone.

Nubin returning for 2023 would be HUGE for this defense. His draft profile is looking very strong, however.

What if it means he's going to the portal?

Just trying to stir things up.

We'll see could mean a lot of things. Not taking part in senior day to me says he is either coming back or planning to transfer for his final year.

Feels like a good time for this:

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Iowa subterfuge

 

[upnorthkid]

As he should be, still has plenty of gROWth to achieve

I will throw up if he transfers...

 

[restovich]

As long as he does not transfer to either Iowa or Wisconsin

I don't want him to transfer but I wouldn't be that shaken up about it. He's not exactly lighting it up.

The drops in key situations have gotten frustrating. Hopefully he can have a strong final 2 regular season games as this team could really use him a reliable receiving threat.

I think he would have walked if he was going to transfer. He would still have been a graduating senior and it would have (I assume) been a nice way to say good bye to the U.

I think he doesn't plan on going but if he grades out in the first 3 rounds, he'll have something to ponder.

Agreed. I feel like we’ve seen a drop off from him, if it was fewer opportunities that could be the whole offense, but there have been drops.

 

[Tommyboy]

Great player and person. He needs more opportunity.

Gotta disagree with your sentiment. He is one of the only receiving weapons we have and, when he is on and the game plan utilizes him, he is outstanding

 

[DCinOK]

He's been massively under-utilized. His drops are a result of his being so shocked that they're actually throwing the ball to him.

 

[fmlizard]

He might transfer to Spannferd

Some fans don’t even think we should throw the ball, in one of our biggest games of the year.

Not much fun as a receiver if you don’t get to make plays.

 

[MGGopher]

For those saying he needs to be used more, I think he leads the team in targets. You might be right the team needs to throw more in general, but to say they ignore the TE would be inaccurate.

Love BSF. Not only is he a great athlete who can do some things in space, he's really developed into a devastating blocker which is a testament to his hard work and dedication. Hope he comes back for year 6! Let's go!

When he gets the ball he's electric. You see that hurdle play he had ealier this year? Great YAC machine. (Needs to not drop so many easy balls tho...) he's the #1 threat in the passing game for a reason, and is always talked about in the broadcasts.

 

[Gopher028]

I'll be more excited if he stops dropping passes

 

[Bob_Loblaw]

I think some of this is just out of whack expectations.

He will likely have more receptions this year than any season of Maxx Williams. He will also have more receptions this year than every year for Matt Spaeth except his senior year. He is doing this while playing in an offense. He is doing this while playing in an offense that runs the ball at a much higher percentage than Spaeth's or Maxx's teams.

I'll agree he's been somewhat underutilized but it certainly isn't a massive amount.

Name one.
