Big advantage for Purdue then, or do we have a real chance with the younger Karlaftis?

This past weekend was a big opportunity to sell yourselves to a bunch of linebackers that could really help this defense. Not only did you impress 2020 targets like Kaden Johnson, Jared Ivey and Rodney Groce, but top-of-the-board 2021 four-star guys like Ethan Downs, Travion Ford and TJ Bollers made the trip. Each of them have made multiple visits to Lincoln over the last year or more. Throw in another couple four-star guys like Randolph Kpai and Yanni Karlaftis, and that's three of the top five LB'ers on their board for next year. Gotta get at least a couple of them in the boat. Can't stress enough how bad you guys need LB help.
Getting Kpai is huge. If they can get Bollers too, it'd go a long way towards continuing to build that defense.
Always downgrading the poor Florida kids
I'll put this here since @All 'N' 011808 hasn't put together the thread for junior days and official visits for the '21 class yet....
A lot of talk about the progress being made with four-star Iowa TE Thomas Fidone and his impending visit for this weekends junior day. All for good reason if course.
But a guy that isn't getting talked about enough (at all?) who is also scheduled to visit this weekend is DE Derek Wilkins out of Rancho Santa Margarita in California. Four-star talent IMO.
