His brace is smaller than the one Carson Wentz is wearing working out in CLE today, and Wentz is 9+ months post-op.

In Clayton's interview with the BTN guys he spoke about Nagel, Skowronek, and Cam Green. Still, I don't read much into it, any one of those 3 plus Lees could end up leading us in catches.
If I had to guess, I'd say Skowronek, then Nagel, then Less, then Green, but I could see them all getting 40+ catches. Last year we had Skowronek with 45, Nagel 48, Macan 32, G-Dick 37, JJ 44, Lees 18 (listed in order of yardage). Think we can improve upon our passing #s from last year. Hopefully Lees can stay healthy.
Well, Zak was good and Prater eventually became good, but yeah, we wait at the altar a bit
Jalen is still not back to 100% and is still in injury/rehab protocol - he also won't be quite 11 months removed from his surgery as of game 1 (his injuries a little longer recovery time than just an ACL). So, it is more likely he will be ready to go closer to game 3 or 4, although he had hoped to be ready a little sooner than that. But, no need to rush since there will still be a lot of football left for him.
I can’t wait to see him back on the field. We need him to blow the top off of defenses!
Not surprised.
Too much is made of a QB being 6'5" and having a big arm when knowledge of the playbook, being able to read defenses/processing ability and accuracy are more important.
Despite being a walk-on, always thought TJ had a shot being the son of an NFL QB (so had a lifetime of being coached the intricacies of playing the position properly).
Totally agree. Christian Hackenberg made a lot of money by being tall and having a big arm.
Here is an excellent story on Nate from InsideNU

He's awesome. Not a huge fan of the InsideNU writers generally, but one of them wrote a nice story on his path through the last few years, including the recent recovery.
Especially since we have not yet gotten a RB in this class. Preserving a year of eligibility for one or more might give advantages down the line.
i remember gocats laughing at Turk when Turk said Green could be a 2.Turk predicted it a couple of years ago....
Gocats belittled Green but Turk saw the QB potential with just watching practive, even though Green is only a walk on.
Maybe thats why gocats had to move on to other employment. Just saying.
Didn’t laugh at anyone. Still don’t believe Green is a viable starter for a B1G program, as in “not a guy you win with” and think his ascension to backup unfortunately says more about the lack of development of Smith and Marty than anything else.
Plus it’s weird when you try to defend yourself across your different personas.
It's crazy how fast he's bounced back.You answered your own question.
Glad to see Nate back.
Gocatsgo, hard to find a guy like Alviti that will stick around as a backup. See Nebraska for an example. I think we can win with Green as long as he doesn’t throw picks. Control the ball and let the defense win.
Turk gave us “needs work”, “Fake by the lake”, “flat earth”, “Josh”, “the Problem of Fitz”
GoCats gave us “No.”
If anyone around here knows how to make up stuff, it’s Turk.

He is quite the original thinker. I particularly like his nicknames. Samdup "Dont Shoot" Miller is another Turkism
Isn't it against forum rules to have multiple usernames??? Are the mods going to let this uncivilized savagery continue???
I think it evens out or is a bit on the plus side. Back in the day, we had Roehl, Zak, even Cerasani was solid until he tossed his helmet one game and then sorta dialed out. Our highest offensive draft choice, post 1998 was a transfer. RB out of Evansville. Sean somebody, ran fast as hell for a big RB and did great at the combine, but only carried the ball a dozen or so times. Of course, some transfers aren't popular with fans but help our depth like Quinn Evans did.
Why do you keep thinking Wicker is me? He definitely has a fondness for me. Whatever the case, is he inciting anything? No. Is he posting anything bad? No.
What's your fuss other than just anger? I suppose you are also one of the angry people against Trump as well. So Sad. Be happy.
I often wonder if Wicker is you. You created carpetbagger over on another site and attached me to your handle. I had no idea until that moderator sent me a awful offensive email ripping me apart for harassing him. Even when I responded to the dude, he didn't believe me and only later did I find out it was you as anyone could create an account and attach someone else's email to it. I suspect that whoever Wicker is, he/she has been a longtime poster and is just having some fun. I really don't mind since I am apparently the dudes hero. Of course, jealous folks like GCG, DaCat, chicagocatfan, all fuss and hiss but only because I call them out on the rant board for their anti trump madness.

Don't forget: Ross Lane, Andrew Brewer, Kain Colter, and of course the greatest receiver in NU history (D'Wayne Bates) was a high school QB.

The last line is beyond funny to me
You gave it away when you spelled enough "enuf" on both handles
Far more coherent posts have been typed by monkeys on typewriters.
Anyway, whoever Wicker is, he's the only person to use the same exact expressions that Turk uses.
