Is that a bilizzard without the wind?

Never heard it described that way, but that's pretty good. It is just a heavy wet snow. Comes down likew a hard rain more so than the little flakes flosting to the ground. Kind of soft hail. Great for snowballs, snowmen, and snowbunnies.

bump

well the good news is that even if he doesn't get his immediate release to play next year-he has 3 years to play 2 (see my first post above), therefore IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING(just for you jtstang) that he could redshirt next year and still have 2 years of eligibility.

I concur

Right island, wrong nation -- he's Haitian.

Supposedly he likes warm/hot weather, so I hope it's miserably cold on his Washington State visit .

1. WSU gets 110 in summer
2. If he liked hot weather so much, why Minn?

Dunno. I was told he liked the heat more than the cold.
Maybe he realized after he enrolled that it gets really cold up there?
Hope this works out so he ends up at SMU. The reports about his ability certainly are encouraging.

bump for 35

Interesting, now that I think about it. This kid did 1.5 years of juco and 1 semester at a state school. And here he is at SMU.

Discussing the 2007 recruiting class, we now can look back and say we had a very good DL/DE class this year. Consider that Coach says that DL freshman recruit Ryan Leonard is a good DL now and may be our best DL on the team. Of cource JUCO recruit DL Serge Elizee is eligilble, so we will get to see what he can do. Both are 300 pound guys and quick. ....Also, don't forget about true freshman DE Youri Yenga who I think is probably going to play this year...Our defense's chances of improvement this year are looking up.

Has Yenga added some considerable weight/strength? He seemed to be a very promising/talented player from the film I have seen on him but seemed a bit light to be ready to play as a Freshman at DE. I expect he will make a serious impact while at SMU, just probably not much of one, if any, this season.

I would think he needs to be AT LEAST 260 to not get hurt playing at DT and 230 for DE.

IMHO

Yenga is gaining weight every day. Word is he's added 12-15 pounds since the start of the summer.

If he has put on that much weight I would think he might have a chance to make an impact at LB this season potentially (if his skills have advanced to a college level), although I am not sure whether the staff sees him ultimately there or DE. I am pretty certain anyone that can make a solid contribution on the field this year will not redshirt being that PB is playing for his job.

He's playing defensive end.
