'17 IN ATH Russ Yeast (Louisville Signee)

[dang227]

Nothing against this kid but I can't ever see sending my kid to play for someone like Booby Petrino.

Could of had both Mac and Russ if we offered earlier, that's what happens when the coaches want to sit around and wait on 4 and 5 star kids.

But then, isn't the comment about "Why aren't we going after 5 stars?? We can't with the title without 5 stars. All these 3 and low 4 stars are fine, but we can't beat the Alabama's with them."

Message board posters also aren't the coaches. Their recruiting strategy seems to be "we don't have one" -- especially when they strike out on the five-star recruits, like is almost always the case.

I'd *rather* they get five-star recruits, because they need them to win a title, but ND's current plan seems to be just not signing anyone at all if they don't sign a five-star.

Like Thomas Graham, one that got away after a very late offer.

Served as Louisville's punt returner and saw a good amount of action at CB over the last 8 games. Had 23 Tkl ... 1 TFL and 2 pass break ups.

Slotted to be Jaire Alexander's (a projected 2nd-3rd Rd. draft pick) replacement next year.

Should’ve been the starting CB this year under BVG. He’s still played in every game the past two years so far so he’s got the experience. Would’ve loved to have him at ND but the coaches jumped in late on the guy. Doubt he can transfer from Louisville to ND and the DB room is stuffed next year anyway.

Was BVG still DC when they started recruiting Yeast? If so, that poor kid's going end up at another school and see BVG grinning at him when he wants into the football office.

Yeast was offered and recruited by Mike Elko and Todd Lyght

 

[ab2cmiller]

Sorry, do not want any part of a guy who quits on a team during the middle of the season. He's already played in 9 games this season, so the mid-season transfer is not about preserving a redshirt.

Oh, silly me. I forgot BVG didn't recruit defensive players.

 

[dublinirish]

decided to return to Louisville after Petrino got shit canned

 

[BobbyMac]

Started all 11 games he played in for UL

Listed at 5-11/205 now

Had 61 Tkl and 1 Int. Had 7 Tkl vs ND.

Good bounce back year after being injured most of 2018

 

[Irishize]

Did he remain at CB his entire career? Doubt ND is an option but man I was hoping they could lure him back in his recruitment. And damn does ND’s secondary need help.
