Parker will probably get a medical RS for this past season too

Kyle Parker was a redshirt freshman this year no? It would make since if we recruited over him after next season he would leave, would be really short sighted for him to leave now.
you’re an idiot if you think most guys will be cool with waiting until year 4 to start. That’s how it would shake out for Parker. This was year 2, next year will be year 3 (and he’ll be WR4-5 at absolute best). It’s not “really short sighted” for a guy to want to play prior to year 4.

What a weird bump. Aaron Anderson, Barion Brown, and Chris Hilton are all likely to go pro after the 2025 season.
Hell even Nick Anderson could go pro since this season will be his third year out of high school assuming he has a really nice year.
The WR room will be wide open at the school known for putting the most talented receivers in the league. If he can’t see that and wait then that’s on him. Nuss waiting his turn is showing it was indeed a wise decision to stay and wait.

You said this in response to my statements that 1) most guys won't be cool with waiting until year 4 to start (and that that it's not "short sighted" to go somewhere where you can play before year 4), and 2) Kyle Parker will be WR4 or 5 at absolute best in 2025. Not sure how anything in your comment changes or disputes my point. Yes: A.Anderson, Brown, Hilton, and maybe N.Anderson will probably go pro after the 2025 season. Even if we assume that their departure will make Kyle Parker one of our no-doubt starting WRs for 2026, that still means his first real opportunity will come in year 4.
Parker was a member of the 2023 class. The 2023 college season was his first year in college. 2024, last season, was his second year. 2025, the upcoming season, will be his third year. We both agree that he will not be a starter or (barring major injury problems in our WR room) even see significant rotational snaps.
That means that 2026 - his fourth year in college - will be his first real opportunity to get on the field.
My point stands: The large majority of guys--at least guys who have a chance to be real contributors at some point--are not going to be willing to wait around until year 4 to get their chance to play, and it's not "really short sighted" to go somewhere you'll get on the field before year 4. Which part of this do you disagree with? The first part (that most guys won't wait til year 4)? Or the second part (that it's not short-sighted to not want to wait til year 4)?
(Also, none of this even takes into consideration the fact that our QB room is a total question mark post-2025. So he'd be waiting around until year 4 to play with who knows who, with only ONE year of eligibility remaining if the QB situation is shaky or bad in 2026)

Curiosity....why reply 2 weeks later? The conversation is dead at this point.

WTF is wrong with you?

I agree with this point (weird bump and all). It's just part & parcel of this era of CFB.
To "develop," there's only so much that can be done on a practice field. At some point, players have to get on the playing field. And from a player's perspective, it's really risky to "wait your turn" knowing that a coach can import someone with years of experience that will 'take your turn.'

My God, what a hell of a top 4 WR corps that is. Add Treydez Green to that with Nuss throwing, whew! If the OL is just decent, and it should be pretty good, look the frick out.

Absolutely

From the flashes we saw and a with a full injury recovery (including ramping back up perfect timing on catches before the Clemson opener (thinking of Hilton) before fall camp, I wouldn't sleep on him dropping to fifth or higher on the chart.
It is inevitable others listed above will get nicked providing opportunities for him.
