Yaseen to play CB at Purdue...

[boileralum07]

... due to logjam at WR position - we have like 20 of them. He would have been behind Moore, Bell, Wright, Anderson, and Carr for playing time.

Interesting since we lost a 4* CB to Colorado because he wanted to play WR. And generally, WRs like playing WR for Brohm, not switching positions.

So, did he switch because your new OC didn't like him, or did he want to play CB but Fitz said no.. Or what?

Is he better at CB than WR?

Thanks. I didn't even hear about him till yesterday so I have no info.

Who knows.

Who cares?

 

[freewillie07]

More people whispering in his ear about the most likely path to NFL $$$, perhaps.

 

[corbi296]

Big mistake on his part. He is not a superior athlete. He has great hands, footwork, body control and runs great routes. Those traits are at a premium when he is playing WR, Not DB.

Then why didn't he want to play WR at NU?

Stop trolling.

Not trolling. It's an honest question. He was committed to you for about a year as a WR. Then on signing day he flips to play CB.

Why CB at Purdue and not WR at NU?

 

[corbi296]

Then why didn't he want to play WR at NU?

Because his dad is an idiot. His kid won the lottery and his dad just burned the winning ticket.

Ask his father. Seriously. This sounds like a case of over-parenting.

Great minds think alike. I posted literally at the same time.

Can you source me on where you're seeing the flip to CB?

wow as if we really know what’s best for this kid or why decisions were made.

 

[boileralum07]

It's insider info on the GBI premium board, pay wall obviously.

"I know this is vague as hell but we have good reason to believe Yaseen May flip to Purdue as a DB before the signing date. Michigan kid. I don’t know when it is, but stay tuned, I guess"

 

[corbi296]

We have a pretty good idea based on What is being discussed on The Rock.

 

[gocatsgo2003]

Was announced as a WR on signing day.

Why CB at Purdue and not WR at NU?

Cause he didn't have enough integrity to create, security to receive, or honesty to rely on. All he could do is go in a corner on defense.

It’s rare that I agree with Corbi but the guys dad is an idiot.

What kind of lottery is the NU passing offense?

Maybe the kid ultimately didn’t like what he saw last year? New OC but the same personnel... losing him sucks but that’s a lot of uncertainty. Can’t blame a kid or his family for getting spooked.

I think he was referring to value of an NU education...somewhere in the $300k range.

 

[bear_down_chicago_89]

He is not playing CB at Purdue. Op is either trolling or confusing Yaseen with Rompfh.

Yeah I mean he didn’t flip to go to University of Phoenix. Depending on what he’s going to study, Purdue is no slouch. Guess it doesn’t matter ultimately, nobody is logging in to debate school

He won the lottery because NU offered the clearly superior option on and off the field and over the next 4 years or the next 40 years. Getting a free ride to NU is like winning Powerball. Getting a free ride to Purdue is like winning little lotto. You are not going to turn down the latter but winning the former is life changing.

Haha alright thanks for straightening me out

What’s next, losing a recruit to the Fighting Lovie’s?

It’s the way the kid and the family handled it. He was committed for over a year. Zero class or respect on their part for a school that publicly stood by him when he had some hard times. Timing is everything here and rarely would I say I can’t root for a kid, but this is one of those rare occasions.

 

[Vassar69]

He’d have to beat Fitz on the field first, I think. Besides, I’ve learned that a scholarship offer from NW is akin to winning lottery ticket. How can anybody compete with that?

 

[Williesfan]

This is even a larger let down. I can understand the attraction of him baling to play WR. But defense, no comparison NU wasn’t affected by a coaching change. I still believe he used NU as a Hefge bet in the event he got hurt his senior year.

there is no way this is real

Why CB at Purdue and not WR at NU?

We averaged 100 yrs passing a game last year

 

[Hungry Jack]

Ask his father. He makes the decisions.

 

[HawkCat]

I agree. This either reflects a trolling attempt or confusion with another Purdue WR signee that I know they intend to convert to CB.

Depends on what he is going to be studying. In some areas, Purdue education is superior. We do not know what he intends to take and if it is in one of those areas where Purdue is superior. While in plenty of areas the NU education may be superior, be caerful of those blanket statements

Outstanding engineering school (Illinois too) especially for mechanical. Very good for industrial, but NU actually ranked higher (both top 10). Overall, Illinois, Purdue and Michigan are probably the top engineering schools in the B1G.
