5'10" 230lbs. Seems kind of weird to add a guy like this when we have Yant filling the big back role.

Yant sucks

Yant sucks

Usually I agree with you but this is one of those I don't agree with you. Yant is actually pretty good, Held just mismanaged his room so badly no one got a chance to shine

I really wish I knew more that happened behind the scenes.. It sounds like he is a kid who needs some hand holding.

Hope you’re right. The only play that stands out is his tripping over the 1yd line versus Minnesota. Maybe the worst play by an RB all year.

Three thoughts here this fine Sunday morning:

1. I'm certainly glad that I didn't face the scrutiny that our hut hut players face during their collegiate tenure. While it was a different era entirely (Paleozoic) when I was in school, college kids inherently make crummy decision makers. Yant likely stands a better chance of not washing out of school because of the structure the team and surrounding personnel that will help keep him "on the rails" as he learns and grows.
2. There's no way I'd want to try and tackle a human bowling ball like Deondre Jackson. Fuck all that.
3. IF the addition of guys like Thompson and Jackson from Texas help us become a better team and win something meaningful, the voices that claim we lost our natural recruiting base in TX when we switched conferences will have finally be proven right (hell, a stopped clock is right twice a day, so why not?). If that hypothesis is confirmed, we need to redouble our efforts to recruit TX, and hard.

Jackson is from GA

What are you stupid or something?

If Yant’s good enough then prove it and he’ll get plying time. If he’s scared of competing then GTFO.

If anyone on a 3-9 team thinks they’re too good to not have to compete for playing time…

99 percent of the time this is correct. I truly believe the coaching and play calling was so bad it handcuffed everything. Personal decisions were baffling all year long

Probably not a super wise decision to plan on Yant when he refuses to go into games and shows up to camp 30 pounds heavy. Kid is pretty talented, but unless he gets focused, he's not long for Lincoln.

That last line is a bringo.

Pros never trip

 

[Lionsfan93]

Is it bad that I would MUCH rather have Ky Thomas???

No. Thomas is proven at the Big Ten level. Jackson just capped off a season with negative rushing yards.

 

[Irv]

Are we taking this guy just to add a body? Doesn’t seem to have the profile of a guy you would affirmatively set your sights on.
