Sorry if it’s been posted but what is the latest on Yanni?

[BSIT]

Didn’t see any stats against PSU

I think I seen #14 on kick off coverage.

I remember when people were penciling him in as a true freshman starting LB when he committed.

It would seem like he could get meaningful minutes since both the linebacker and DE spots seem to be weak points on this team. Was he overrated or just not developing?

My question is whether he is truly healthy.

like Yaseen. I've been waiting for that kid to come along. As usual not impressed by our LB play.

Bring back the Junk Defense!

Could be wrong but in HS I thought some were recruiting him to play safety as well? Hopefully he will be on the field helping us wherever he is needed

Absolutely! For the life of me I don’t understand why we ever wear the all surrender white uniforms.

I thought Yanni’s best chance to play was at ILB. I think he’s playing Leo now, which is basically on the line. I saw him do a couple of good things in the spring game, but haven’t heard much since.

white are OK esp early in the season if it's hot. Don't get the gray look.

Not at the end. Wisconsin was recruiting him as FB. Cal was the only other major player.

I remember UW was recruiting him early and then signed 3 linebackers. I said to myself, no way is UW going to recruit 4 LBs in the same class. They basically backed off.

They wanted him at FB all along. They never backed off.

Be curious to know if Purdue has any intention of considering him for other positions.

We could use a FB. Someone on the premie board who is a WL honk mentioned TE

Edit - if he ends up at TE, his career would be so similar to Jeff Lindsay

Nice options. However I hope you’re wrong about the Lindsay comparison. Unfulfilled potential with him

I don’t think he was ever meant to be a lb. Didn’t read the play fast enough.

saw our commit Owen Davis, who is 6'3 210 is used as a RB on O in H.S.

Lb for Purdue.

How nice would it be to have Jaylan Alexander on the field opposed to watching games this year having made a horrible decision?

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Not sure how much better JA could have gotten. Sometimes players are just ready to move on.

 

[POTFHBTFU]

I know he started at RB so not quite the same but Anthony Heygood had the big run against Michigan his senior year. We could use some Depth at RB…
