Wow.

I mean, why would any team welcome a dude who bailed like this?

It's not that he entered the portal. That's happened where guys like Houston Griffith, went into the portal, but then withdrew themselves and stayed at ND.

That's not what happened here. This dude left Michigan, transferred to Ole Miss, then leaves Ole Miss after a month and goes back to Michigan?

This reflects poorly on the culture of this program, which is no surprise. If they're willing to endorse their staff to cheat, what's stopping them from letting the convicts run the asylum?

Moore's a great OL coach, but his ability to traverse the shaky waters around Ann Arbor leaves much to be desired.

Does it say the same about Alabama who had Kadyn Proctor practically do the same thing? Leave for Iowa, drop Iowa after a few practices, return to Bama.

Looks like Feldman has expanded the criteria for his Freaks List beyond athletic ability.
Yea, but his spring testing numbers were insane 6.10 3 Cone Drill (Faster than ALL combine participants) 3.89 20yd Shuttle, 4.34 40 and 42.5" Vert😳😳

Kinda.

I ain't touching a kid like that with a 10-ft pole. The second things get tough or you don't get exactly what you want, you call it quits. Griffith at least toughed it out for 4 years before going into the portal and came right back.

I know this is Rodney Dunham's day, and we should all be celebrating that (and apparently Chris Badger and Brad Carrico being hired at Dublin Coffman), but a former ND verbal who flipped to Michigan... always news worthy when shit comes up in that field.

Remember all the rending of garments over his flipping away from us? Turned out fine.
Wouldn't say it turned out "fine".

ND was in a major hole at WR and landed all of 1 guy in the '22 class. Turns out, they could've landed all three and it likely still wouldn't have changed anything, as none of them really panned out.

But regardless, it lead to a really crappy situation at receiver. Thanks Kelly and Del.

Maybe change "fine" to "pretty much exactly how it would have if he stayed committed here"

we could use his elite speed
Elite speed is only as good as you can apply it to the field.

The phrase is usually "looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane", but this is probably more speed reliant. He figuratively has the legs of Usein Bolt, but plays as if he has the legs of Lt. Dan.

I mean, sure, if Walker had turned into a productive WR for us, that’d be nice. Maybe we take one fewer transfer. But given his college career thus far there is little reason to think he would have.
