vague endorsement was called for under the circumstances. "Really high" has a broad range can be defended as a fair and true projection if we consider Luke's jump in improvement during the past year.

I agree he is not good enough to start for a top 100 D-1 team, but his single digit minute contributions this season have been much more effective than last year.

However, if Worthington improves at the same rate over the next two seasons, he could turn into a solid 10 minute role player for a top 100 team, which may not mean he can keep that role on a team with Mika, Dastrup, Kaufusi, Neilson, Davis and Aytes. I'd bet, at some level, Luke knows that and still plans to stay with the program.

Don't agree he will leave early. He is invested in this team and is a good locker room guy.
