Dylan is grad transferring with Michigan degree in hand.

Luke is not. Not that a degree from Nebraska would be world-changing in the first place.

Both about playing time, as most transfers are.

Neither had a Stanford offer, which I'm sure Ed was not thrilled about.

Does the fact that they are transferring out of schools due to playing time vindicate the decision not to offer?  Dylan had 35 career pass attempts at Michigan.  Luke has had 100 career pass attempts in two years at Nebraska.

As much as there was sentimental value to get another McCaffrey after Christian, Shaw made the choice to go with Mills in the 2017 recruiting class. Hard to argue with that decision. The question on offering Luke is a tougher one as we didn't take a QB in the class of 2019.  I think we missed out on a couple of whales and were planning a gap year in QB recruiting between West and McKee but then offered Hilsinki late in the cycle.  Luke's profile as a dual threat QB isn't too dissimilar to Ari Patu who signed for this Class of 21.  I think if Luke were on our roster as the lone QB in the rising junior class, we would have been happy that he was on the team competing with McKee and West for the starting spot next year.  McKee's trajectory will probably keep us out of the transfer market so I don't think we will get Luke or have much interest, but I would rather him on the roster than an empty scholarship which we will have or even Sanders who will be our emergency QB if McKee and West go down.

I thought I remember reading that Isaiah Sanders is returning next year. Obviously, he can run. But, he looked like a solid passer based on some highlights I saw of him while at Air Force. I'm not sure why he wouldn't have a shot at the starting spot next year - yes, we'd all like McKee to win it but Sanders looks like he can play
