got another qb from portal

Re: Browne

How much do you think he could have possibly been paid to go to UNC? While I was high on Browne, I can't see anyone paying him much based on how little he played. I dont know UNCs QB situation, but I'm guessing Browne is far from just being given the starting job. Maybe UNC has gobs of money to give everyone?

Money might of not been the final factor but I bet it helped his decision.
Most portal players are over recruited so when you add in NIL money the rest is history.

IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

Lead a team to 11-2, a playoff appearance and one of the probably the Top 10 QBs in the nation... Yea that's miraculous.

The miracle is IU buying an entire new team and buying a pud schedule to get to the playoffs. It is a miracle that people didn't see through the record for what it was. They won't be fooled again. LOL

He wasn't good enough. He's really developed at NW.

While he did have a nice FR to Sophomore jump.....him not being good enough is really not accurate. He was one of the several finalists for IN Mr. basketball and averaged 32+ and 11R & 6+A. We watched him, but were full with other players we recruited. He was not recruited hard as CMP felt Furst who did win Mr. BB & TKR were better. Had we had multiple...like 4, scholarships that year, he likely would have been a Boiler.... Similar to why Goode is not a Boiler.

Hopefully, you are being sarcastic - as we only SAW 26 minutes in real games. Alot of potential, but yes really only hopeful expectations at this time. Mostly hopeful he can make it through a full year next year with added strength.

Expectations probably driven more by what he did in USA BB than what we saw in preseason. Agree with OP that it would be great to hear that he’s put in 15 to 20 lbs of muscle by the end of March.

All Five Conference Champs Lost Their First Game In The Playoff

Give a guaranteed spot to each P4 and G5 conference champ, but teams are seeded by their ranking and not by being a conf champ.

IMO: the NFL should follow the same advice. No more ~.500 teams getting a home playoff game as a reward for winning a weak division. Meanwhile, the loser of today's Lions/Vikings game will fall from the #1 to the #5 seed with a 14-3 record.

Seems too good to pass up on. I’m expecting a double digit victory today!

I expect Purdue to win...by how many I have no idea. In that win, I'm really interested in Caleb's play. Getting a few boards, running the court and getting around 8 points or so will be welcomed. Also, his D on ball screens "may" help keeping dribble penetration into the lane less frequent. Actually, I see him improving and providing a better inside player as the season goes on and if so ...THAT will be huge in improving Purdue. WE shall see...

I can't imagine the horror you have witnessed. Reading your post took me to this last July when a young lady who really struggled dealing with what she saw in Iraq. She ran outside and took her life. I'll not post the details, but it was a tragedy on so many fronts. Many people deal with issues much larger than if someone doesn't like what someone said.

"She joined the United States Army Reserves and served as a photojournalist in Iraq with the 350th MPAD, which was attached to the 82nd Airborne, in 2003. Emily returned home a decorated Specialist who was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Armed Forces Reserve Medal With “M” Device. Following her honorable discharge from the military in 2009, she earned her associate’s degree from Ivy Tech."

My son had several tours in Iraq and N. Africa ... but Afghanistan left him scarred and with severe PTSD. possibly due to his having some-command over a battalion of helicopters. They lost two 'copters in that deployment

Not sure I'd put too much faith in DJ being that big of an impact player next year. He's a lightweight big coming off a major leg injury with minimal college experience. Obviously hope I'm wrong, but I would temper expectations for him.
Click to expand...
Nope. Pretty large expectations based on what we Saw. ;)
Hopefully 20 solid lbs heavier and that kid will make a difference.
He doesn't even need to do that much, it's freeing up Trey to go against 4's that wins us games.
But additional outside shooting is always a plus.
That it draws the other teams 5 out of the rebounding area isn't bad either.
That and his rim protection,
Doesn't need to put up impressive numbers anywhere to be the X factor.

what happened that we didn’t get the local kid Barnheiser? Did we recruit him hard out of high school
Click to expand...
He played more of the 3-5 spot at Jeff (“undersized” at those spots for college). Wasn’t as guard oriented as he is now and we were full at the time. He didn’t have many high major offers at all.

Moved from down south when his dad became coach at Jeff him and his brother did very well for that program. Wonder if he had gone here, if he would have developed into what he is now though since it would have been a different gameplan/team than what he’s had in his career at NU.

I liked Browne and it’s a shame the past coaches ruined his Purdue career. He’s got a bright future if he can find the right system that fits his play. He brought a lot to the table and was definitely QB1 next year but obviously coaching changes and a disappointing season will change a kids mind plus I’m sure he got paid going to UNC.

I was never impressed by the passing game Browne brought to the table. His accuracy seemed a weakness…

He will be THE guy at NU next year, so not sure he would leave. But would be great to get someone similar to him
Click to expand...

Not sure he isn't THE GUY now. They lose alot though in Barnhizer and Berry.......so might not want to be a scorer on a cellar dweller. Come here win a championship is a great sell to that TYPE of kid. Anyway, like I said ..... prototype for what is needed. So he is the kind CMP should be looking for. I have a list of others though......

They have 2 studs in Martinelli & Barnhizer and Leach or Berry always seem to go off on us.

If there is anyway some rich cat can bring the Martinelli kid to West Lafayette next year, that would make fans very happy. 6-7 guy that can score and rebound. Sounds like the prototype for what we need.

I would never bet. But if I did I would stay away from this one.
