Petey's cousin?

So, is this young man arriving in the spring or fall?

Nice! 3 star recruit previously committed to Purdue with multiple D-1 offers. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/195675/tim-faison

I’m assuming a May transfer since we are into week 3 of classes and he just committed, compared to someone like Preston who only had 3/4 days to commit/enroll

His HUDL vid is worth a second look.  Looks like a day 1 starter to me:

He should be. Starters should be Ejiya, Faison, and Ozougwu.

Garner has been okay, but he is too slow IMO to be an effective blitzer, which is what this defense needs.

I worry (respectfully) about Tim getting on campus.  He had major interest from programs like Memphis (one Memphis site indicated that he had committed and was signing there) and yet they all cooled off right at the end of the process.  We have experienced this before with high impact juco transfers.  I hope like heck he makes it because he is a difference maker on film.

Well for what it's worth he is listed on the official roster now, so that seems like a good sign.

I have played basketball at the rec with Tim a couple of times. So he is definitely here.

Did you take it easy on him?

Haha, I was definitely thinking in the back of my mind to be careful to not hurt him. I can say though, he is definitely built like a linebacker.
