Love Wright's YouTube announcing video.

I think Sipe has skills as well. It will be really interesting to see who’s the #2 next year and then see the QB battle in camp 2020.
hate to speculate, but looks like a possible log jam at the position with each of them having big time arms.
Had to speak volumes IMO. If Bell was paying attention, he could see a WR pretty similar to him athleticisim wise @ Iowa in Smith-Marsette having to claw and fight for attention in that offense. Lots of short stuff. Not trying to stretch the field. Bell's talents would be wasted as ONLY a kick returner.
Or he could see how everybody is jumping on Moore on the short stuff and that we aren't afraid to whip it downfield 5-7 times a game.
I like how the train passed the Wildcat, Cardinal, OSU helmet, and Elephant of his other finalists.
Nope. I think he found exactly what he was looking for: A competitive program, little/no competition at QB, a chance to play right away, and for 3 years.
Plus people writing off Tario is foolish. Assuming he can get 100% healthy, he will be in the mix for sure. Remember last fall, he was the #1 back going into the season in front of Knox and Jones. He just can't stay healthy.
Brohm said going into the season they were going to have to carefully manage him.
He went through multiple surgeries in the off-season, and he was nowhere near 100% going into the first game.
Goodness. Boiler B'dog's point remains . . . IF . . . ! . . . he can get back to 100% (which he apparently is not), he will be back in the mix.
He was one of the B1G's best RBs early last season.
They're not 'managing (his) injuries.'
They're 'managing' him, getting him back in action.
You're doing all you can to not understand he's not 100% ready to play RB. That doesn't mean they wrap him in bubble wrap for the season.
Goodness.
Of all the injuries we've had over the past 2 seasons, how many have occurred during regular play vs 'special teams?'
I haven't denied they aren't giving him carriers. Goodness, man! That's part of the point!
You're doing all you can to understand (admit) why!
You don’t manage a player you value by getting him snaps on special teams as a gunner. Especially as a 4th year junior. At that point, that’s where you stick players in the doghouse. How do you fail to recognize that.
So he went from the #1 back 15 months ago to not getting carries and we should just all assume nothing else has changed? What do you think changed? I’m genuinely curious.
That’s fair. It very well could be. But that doesn’t mean it can’t change between now and next fall.
You're all over the map. I don't have a clue what you're arguing.
The main point was clear. Fuller does not appear to be 100%. And, if . . . IF . . . ! . . . he gets back to 100%, he could make an impact.
Now you post something about him 'in the doghouse.'
Why does it have to be that conspiratorial? Why can't it be as simple as Brohm indicated ... at the beginning of the season? that he would see limited action, that they would manage his action, that they would be careful about how he would be used. (And, it's duly noted, you failed to respond to my question about how many injuries we've had on special teams vs. regular play.)
Goodness, brother. I don't know why we can't just take coaches at their word, especially when we have the luxury of two solid Senior runningbacks.
Yes.
Stay with me now, as this might seem to be quite a leap in this thread, but . . . . . that would also seem to indicate he's not back to . . . 100%.
yes!
And... if he improves to where he IS (100%) recovered . . . . . he MIGHT get more snaps.
That's the point.
Because of Brohm's pre-season comments.
I'll take Brohm at his word.
You can "recognize" whatever you wish.
soooo, Purdue 85, how many kick returns did Moore run back against Iowa? I got tired of arguing with a person who couldn't and refused to answer a simple question.
it is obvious to everyone except you why Fuller isn't playing much at RB this year. if he wasn't 100% healthy, he wouldn't have been cleared to play football. PERIOD !!! Purdue is NOT Maryland or Illinois.
there is a simple reason Fuller is not playing more at RB. Brohm has found other alternatives, and they are working. At one time Anthrop was our leading receiver. Brohm found better alternatives, and they are working. Do you want Anthrop to return to being a starter too? is he injured as well?
it's time to stop arguing with everybody and start accepting reality.

That was a great video. I appreciate his reference to God, family, and Purdue. Welcome Wright family to the Boilermaker family.
This is too sweet.
So proud to be a Boilermaker living in this town.
CCoL fan thoughts on the signing...

Good god, just stop already. This borders on whining and snivelling
Bigs, you're making this too difficult.
A player can be released to play, yet not be 100%. Ever heard of a player, playing with a slight sprain? They're cleared to play, but that player ain't 100%, brother! (Uh, Rondale, a couple of weeks ago?)
Yes, Brohm has better options. But, he . . . HE! . . . was clear at the start of the season, when he . . . HE! . . . said they would manage Fuller's play this year.
Got an argument about that? Take it up with him!
Goodness. I think, in some ways, we're saying some of the same things. But you appear to be arguing just to be arguing.
This seems like a really artsy video.
Is the baby supposed to be him? Or am I overthinking it?
Who's the white guy?
That's his home, that's his family. I took it that the baby is a sibling.
I guess I just assumed it's his Mom, Dad, and sibling...perhaps I'm under thinking it?
This is his dad. They did an interview not too long ago on the louisville news together. Both did an impressive interview, very articulate and seemed to be approaching the recruiting process diligently.
