Thanks for reply. Hope he keeps his grades up and transfers on good terms. See no reason why he wouldn't.
To me not surprising.. I’m sure he’s just as likely to be a good guy as any other random person from society, but If you watched the UConn game it looked … ehhh, and.. it was UConn, who really should have had a dog food instead of a dog for their mascot
Can lymon come back due to covid ? JB paxson? Man I hope old JB didn’t look too close at what George was doing these last few years.
Probably less than 50% for non WR 4*.
We’ve had 3 4 star dl in brohms tenure. Only one was a bust
Mary Jane Murphy is still showing as a 4-star on 247. In my mind I wasn't restricting it to only Rivals or Composite. Outside of WR, for what you would hope for from a 4* there has been 1 stud, 2 solid starters, and 5 other guys who attended practice and ate at training tables.
50% isn't high enough if the bar is set at solid contributor. This is an issue that goes back to the Tiller years. Admittedly, it is probably not as bad now as it was 10-15 years ago. IMO there is a percentage of kids who choose Purdue because they want a Big Ten school but don't want to bust their ass to earn a spot on the depth chart.
I went back to the start of Rivals rankings. If you remove tbds. its about 50%. The DVD and Paxson years back to back i think are swaying your opinion.
Western Kentucky. There were rumblings he was going to UT if Tiller gave him a full release.
Do you think that only 50% of 4* recruits ever seeing the field on game day is a reasonable expectation?
Rivals had someone come on kc once and say that they could never pretend to rate who will be good, because so many are late bloomers and externalities to athleticism like work ethic etc.
I put the threshold at starter.
Lymon only a flop cause of what was missing upstairs.. his performance vs ND was unreal .. not just the yards but being cracked in the chest by Zbilowski and watching Tommy just fall off of him while he took off and sprinted to the end zone.
Say with a straight face that there's a 50/50 shot that Yanni never starts for Purdue, and you're ok with that.
Ok, I know your perspective now. Think about 95% of people here would predict that he starts at some point in his career due to the recruiting hype. Many people were talking this time last year about him walking right into a starting LB role. People are saying similar things about Strickland plugging in for GK.
I think Yanni is overhyped because he is a local kid and the younger brother of a recent All American. I think there is a reason he didnt have near the offers you would expect for a 4 star.
Most of those dried up. Verbal offers are horseshit. Watch who sends paper offers on Aug 1. By the end it was Cal, Wisky, Purdue
Carraway. Dude exploded at the end of the recruiting cycle. Showed extremely well at the All American game. Looks like he could play either LEO or DE.
Word up here was Wisky cooled on him and went after another player. Who cares? We have him and if he recovers well from his H.S. injury, he may be a solid contributor to our Boilers. I'm fine with that.
