'It's gonna be alright': Rounding up the reaction to Luke McCaffrey and others transferring
Luke McCaffrey highlights a trio of Huskers (Kade Warner and Will Farniok) that transferred out of the program before noon Tuesday.
From the man himself
After struggling with this decision for weeks, I have decided to enter the transfer portal and explore my options. I am thankful for the support Nebraska fans have shown me. I have so much love for my coaches and teammates from my time here. I am excited for the future.

Some insight from our guy
Nebraska tried to keep McCaffrey in the fold and was committed to him playing QB. Frost and Verduzco both loved the kid. It didn't work. We'll endeavor to get his side of the story.

Most of the time, there's not widespread hysteria when a backup QB transfers. Most of the time. https://t.co/dVIj8Secq2

Will Smith isn't living this one down anytime soon, huh?

Will the Huskers do some portal shopping at QB?
Been trying to hint at this for several weeks now, does Nebraska bring in an experienced transfer QB to add depth and also push Martinez in practice? I think the perfect one would be Terry Wilson.

Well, at least this incoming freshman has a better shot at the No. 7 jersey now

Questioning the c-word... "culture"
I really need to see an in-depth dive on the Huskers and the transfer portal and see if this is actually “happening everywhere” as some people claim.
— TD (@HuskerInSota) January 26, 2021
I know kids transfer, but are other programs losing their best players who love “the culture” as Wan’Dale and Luke seemed to?
The ball is in your court, Adrian Martinez
@MartinezTheQB You got this!!! Take us to the promised land. #GBR pic.twitter.com/p5M2codPpG

This former Husker chimes in
Truth time. Cant spin it as not that big a deal when u lose Kade Warner, Luke Mccaffrey, Wandale Robinson in 2 wks. Lost team captain, a kid w tremendous upside/bloodlines and a kid who was ur most versatile weapon.

I don't know what's going on but this doesn't make u better. 🤷♂️
Turning the tables
You "fire Scott Frost" Husker fans, you should be entering the transfer portal. Because you are part of the progress problem.
