Probably 2nd biggest verbal to Karlaftis.Game starts at one on NBC. Announcements are made during timeouts. Sounds like 6 players will announce during the game.
How big of a get would this be for purdue?
Does Rondale have any potential as a return man? For punts it seems like our scheme is either go for a block or play safe so we just need a guy back there to fair catch. But kick returns may be a possibility. We were last in the Big Ten in KO and Punt Return Average.This would be huge. His agility is insane. Throw him in the slot next year he is a starter for us as long as he learns the playbook.
I checked out the Army Bowl practice clips and he isn't the fastest one there at all, but he was one of the quickest cutters on his routes. He had one route where he did a button hook and did it so quickly he had 10 yards of open space to then beat the defender. If he can buy open yards due to his routes like he has this week we will be very happy Boilermakers next year. Scary good.
I also see Cory Taylor being very good for us too. Maybe not immediately, but in the short term.
