Luke Nickel SR HL

[TheEye]

I will wait till I see him in Spring running against Hetherman’s D.

 

[canesbrah]

Begs the question - at what point should he be the starter?

After beck leaves

 

[Cane_J15]

Spring is going to be big for him with Beck out cant wait to see spring game Emory vs Nickel see where they stand!

Excited to see him play. Between Nickel and Coleman, hopefully we are set at QB for the next 4-5 years.

 

[9oh4Cane]

I see a little baker mayfield in his game

 

[mr.h]

Hopefully he gets some backup time when the game is in hand. Cam always played to the end for his numbers.

Best QB we’ve signed out of HS in a long while

Ryan Collins dreams about being as good as nickel was in high school

It was sarcasm. I guess you didn't put it together with everyone naming different QB's he reminds them of.

 

[Citizen Cane]

I'll reserve judgement until Fraggle tells me what to think about this kid.

 

[bolivar]

Glad to have him!

You guys do this all the time. Hype up an incoming freshman as the next great Miami QB (a lot of folks did it with Emory), then if and/or when said qb doesn't live up to expectations he's a JAG and it's onto hyping up the next high schooler. Can we let the kid get a few spring/summer/fall practices, along with some in game experience under his belt before we crown him? Does he have the potential to be great here? Absolutely! the jury still remains out because all we have is high school highlights, which 99% of recruits look good in their hs highlight reels. For the record, i am not calling him a bust, so you super fans don't get your hole-filled boxers twisted in your a**, i am just saying let things play out.

Kinda like we did with Sitowski. I do like the fact this kid gets a season with Beck at the helm. Valuable.

Excited to have him. Spring is going to be crucial to developing him and finding a backup for the year.

 

[DMoney]

Beck should mentor Nickel. He has leadership questions from the NFL and Nickel has a lot to learn from him.

That dynamic could benefit both them and the program.

BREEEENG MEEEE TATTHHHHAAAAAAN!!!!!

Begs the question - at what point should he be the starter?

Ready for a hypothetical mope? I am already worried that we are going to crown him for next season and it ends up a Jackson Arnold at Oklahoma situation.

He looks awesome, but assuming there is elite and proven talent in the portal, I want a portal QB all day and every day.

 

[DubCaliCane]

Ideally Nickel can win the spring first team reps over Emory with Beck on the mend.

Would be great development without the pressure of ND.

****, even if he can’t “earn” the first team reps, give them to him over trash Emory on athleticism alone.

Orrrrr starts a new thread on him

 

[DrNovaCane]

Beck should mentor Nickel. He has leadership questions from the NFL and Nickel has a lot to learn from him.

That dynamic could benefit both them and the program.

Someone posted earlier that he should redshirt this year.

I say no to that; give him as much experience and as many live reps as he can get to prepare him for that torch in 2026.

What's your thoughts? Any word on staff's intentions on this?

Luke has better HS stats than Arch Manning. Yes, it matters. If the stats were crappy then we call him a project. Best QB recruit in a while for us.
