Wisconsin doesn’t want to be left out — top WR leaves program indefinitely

[Deep Creek]

Like it matters. Wisonsin just needs their receivers to block anyways.

Aren't wide receivers at Wisconsin considered red headed step children?

Indiana's going to the Rose Bowl, baby!

If that's the case, then there is hope for my Miners!

Definites:

Vandy
Florida
Tennessee
A&M
Arkansas

Maybes:

Kentucky(Have no idea how good or bad their new QB is)
LSU(Have no idea how the OSU transfer will play)

Absolutely nots:

Alabama
Auburn
Georgia
South Carolina
Missouri
Ole Miss
Mississippi State

So, potentially half the conference.

So, 1/2 would be a more accurate statement than 3/4s.

I’m worried you don’t understand the different between talking about a player who is on the roster this year and a guy who’s no longer eligible to play college ball.

Well, I really don't want you to worry.

2017 Hornibrook:

vs Michigan: 9 of 19 - 47% completion 1 INT
vs. Ohio State: 19 of 40 - 47% completion 2 INT

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE HORNIBROOK SHILLS

Maybe he improved since last season and having another year of experience could also help.

Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook wins Manning Passing Academy competition

Wisconsin QB Alex Hornibrook wins Manning Passing Academy competition

He showcased his potential Saturday at the Manning Passing Academy at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La. Competing against some of the nation’s best quarterbacks, such as Penn State’s Trace McSorley, Alabama’s Jalen Hurts and Georgia’s Jake Fromm, Hornibrook came out on top during the annual throwing competition. Hornibrook was the only participant to hit the golf-cart target moving deep down the sideline.

So what else should we judge Hornibrook by? I'm curious

Maybe things that have happened since last year:

So how many golf carts is he going to hit this season?

How many times is going to play against no defense?

Probably the same amount of times those other QBS he was competing against that are considered to be much better than him will. I am sure those other top QBs ranked better than Hornibrook just had a bad passing academy.

Being able to play without any real game pressure or pressure from the defense is completely different than going to a passing academy. You can have guys who are combine heroes but are real game zeroes. Hornibrook needs to actually show up in the big games before we say that he’s legit. He has not been big in the biggest lights. He has an NFL offensive line, and NFL running back, and great receivers paired with a pathetically weak non conference schedule his entire time at Wisconsin.

We Wisconsin fans base our optimism on one game, The Orange Bowl. That's the Hornibrook we dream about.

Even so, he ain't trash.

Never said he was trash, but he isn’t a top 5 probably not top 10 quarterback at this time. He needs to really show it this year. You have Michigan and Penn State as the only two really good defenses you face in the regular season, Northwestern is pretty solid. He needs to win a CCG which will be tough.

His entire time at Wisconsin starting football games gives him 23 starts so far. He started as a freshman and has 2 more years to go. I have hope there will be improvement and that he has not leveled off after 2 years.

That's the problem with recruiting 3* players. You have to develop them. 5* QBs are Heisman candidates the day they "graduate" from high school.

So he hit a golf cart down the sideline while wearing shorts and a T-shirt with no pass rush?!?!

What does that have to do with anything?

Just look at the guys who couldn't do that.

He isn’t trash, but he is a game a manager. He isn’t going to carry Wisconsin on his back. With Wisconsin's Style of play — he doesn’t need to though.

Make a couple throws to keep the defense honest and pound the ball on the ground the rest of the time.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Just look at the guys who couldn't do that.

It is akin to having Shaq and Steph Curry shooting half court shots and say Shaq makes his first shot and Curry misses. Then saying — see — Shaq is one of the best shooters in the NBA.

Congrats on winning a summer target contest, but as a fan of a team who had the pinultimate T-shirt and shorts QB (Shane Morris) — trust me when I say it means very little. Shane Morris got to 5 star status as a T-shirt and short workout warrior. Once live action started — he crumbled.

Hornibrook is a solid QB for what Wisconsin asks of him. Calling him a top QB is a stretch.

So do you believe that Hornibrook is a top 5 or top 10QB?

The 3 best teams in the B1G he faced last year were UM, OSU and Northwestern.

He was 40 for 80 with 2 tds and 4 ints.
