Purdue Offered Minn Transfer RB
- Thread starter Esox54547
- Start date
I mentioned this kid the other day in the potential RB's in the portal thread
Yep, I see that now, sorry. I missed that thread or else I would have just put this in there.
don't have to apologize, just pointed it out, he is a good rb
Hope we get him. We definitely need to improve our running game, especially with Horvath leaving.
Seems like Minny RBs always tear up Purdue. Let's get this kid on the team. There's definitely a starting RB position up for grabs.
only if he's an elite athlete, was recruited by the "right" programs, and can dunk.
🤣
Yes, those are all good criteria.
Unless you're Barry Sanders or Walter Payton, I like my RBs to be around 6'0, 215 with 4.4-4.5 speed.
Any idea why he is in the portal??
These guys scare me. Got lots of PT. MVP of the Bowl Game. What's the catch?
Is he a locker room cancer that the coaches have "suggested" he transfer?
If a guy is buried on the depth chart, I get it. But not sure I get this one.
He was 3rd or 4th on the depth chart, but moved up because of injuries. Everyone that was above him will be back next year including a 5th year for their top back Mohamed Ibrahim.
I would share that concern, but, as Esox covered already, it does not appear to be the case here.
There were extenuating circumstances and no indication at all that this guy was a problem in the locker room or off of the field, and, Fleck went to great lengths on more than one occasion to speak very highly of him. He just wants to play, which is the case with a lot of guys...not like he is looking to make a jump to 'Bama...guy just wants to get carries and does not know that he will where he is at.
how about Oregon's Trey Benson who we offered out of h.s. or psu's Noah Cain? would be cool to get Cain and his first game would be against his old mates
am I having deja vu, or didn't you just recently post the same type of question?
Are we somehow now flush with talent at RB?
No doubt Purdue is leaving a lot of rushing yards on the table the last few years. I think a stable of RBs consisting of this guy, James and Dorue looks great IMO.
looking at other RB's in the portal, that Austin Jones looks intriguing, work horse type back, good balance, doesn't go down on contact, and good pass catcher out of the backfield
