Caskenette had a fantastic final season in West Lafayette, as he batted .308 with 14 HR and 71 RBI, earning Third Team all-Big Ten honors.

DEfensive Back
2024 Projection: Reserve

If you're going to get an in-state walk-on, a product of Cathedral is a good place to start. Smith won state titles with Cathedral as a sophomore and junior and finished is his career with 116 tackles, three interceptions, four forced fumbles, nine PBUs, 17 TFLs, two fumble recoveries and 211 return yards. He was also a wrestler for three seasons.

While he was a two-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting cycle he ended up at Holy Cross last season. He ended up starting nine games and finihsed with 36 tackles and two passes defended. His lone tackle for loss came at Boston College, a game where the Crusaders very nearly pulled off an upset against the FBS level foe. They lost 31-28 after fumbling inside the BC 30 on their final possession.

Smith is probably pretty low on the depth chart, but given that he has college experience he is not a bad player to have.

In our preview of Ohio State we state the very obvious: The Buckeyes are good at football.

For those that think Biden should be replaced, why wouldn’t he need replaced today? Meaning, if he is unfit for the election, why is he fit for office until Jan of ‘25?

Purdue has added Auburn to its non-conference slate for each of the next two years, beginning with a trip to Birmingham in December.

The Tigers will return the favor in 2025, when they come to town for the Indy Classic.

And claim this saved money! Now that's some great DEM logic for you.

Here's a tip ....no cards and send nonworking home. That saves a might more $ wouldn't you think???

⚠️Cards train them for handouts.
⚠️Cards & other benefits keep them here vs returning home.
⚠️ Cards make them lose motivation to find work.
⚠️ Participants have to sign they will use debit cards....as intended....yea right...lol


Note....I am actually pro immigration.......IF THEY ARE WORKING. Get them in the system and supporting SS. But to give them handouts.....drives me nuts. It is the opposite of what to do. Immigrants should.....WORK or GET OUT.

While Purdue football has picked up steam on the recruiting trail this month, Boiler Upload looks back at some Boilermaker coaches when they were recruits.

If true, I don’t think it’s a good move. It would be MUCH better for him to practice with & play against all-star-caliber guys than to be practicing vs rookies and G-League guys…

I'm saying between 12am 7/4 and 11:59p 7/6,

This is one of the reasons the majority of blacks don't vote Republican. Unbelievable. Then, it is sad and shameful that 3 black congressman voted to reinstate that crap. This is exactly what I'm talking about. This is what I'm saying all along. They unhold white supremacy. Why anyone would erect a confederate moment at the prestigious Arlington National Cemetary in the first place is beyond me. Isn't that a cemetery for US soldiers? You are not going to attract blacks to a political party this way. This has been the republican way since 1968. Anyone here that defends this confederate movement reinstatement is full of crap and you know it.

I don’t want a cognitive test, I want a brain scan. How much plaque is there in Bozo’s brain?

Dismissed.

Jamari Payne - Fr.
Auburn, AL (Loachapoka HS)
6'2", 259 pounds
Rush End
2024 Projection: Possible contributor

It is hard to say if Payne will play as a true freshman or not. Purdue has some pretty good options at rush end within Ryan Walters' scheme, but he also put up some bigg numbers last year in Alabama at Loachapoka HS. He had 76 tackles, including 12 sacks, and two interceptions, one he returned for a touchdown. This was after a big junior year with 109 tackles, 27.5 for loss, and 6.5 sacks.

He has some really good size as a rush end, so it seems like he is a good fit in the long run. Will Heldt, Shitta Sillah, and Jireh Ojata appear to be ahead of him on the depth chart at that spot, however, but only Heldt has experience at Purdue.

Purdue released its new uniforms this morning. How do you feel about them?

Painter: "Alright fellas, time to mold our plan for the season. What do we have?"
Assistant 1: "Coach, we have a ton of athleticism and excellent 3 point shooting."
Assistant 2: "Coach, we've got the best point guard in the country."
Assistant 3: "Coach, we've got 2 guys over 7' 2" with guard/forward skills that can shoot the 3."
Assistant 4: "Coach, we've got ridiculous depth."

Next year is going to be so uptempo and fun!

Former Purdue guard Lance Jones will play in the 2024 NBA Summer League with the Indiana Pacers, per Scott Agness.

"I particularly like ALBA's style of play as a team," Williams shared on the club's website. "Luke Sikma and ALBA's way of using him on the court inspired my decision-making."

The young center topped the EuroCup charts in rebounds and recorded 12 double-doubles, a mark equaled by few in a single season. Williams ranked second in Player Index Rating (PIR) with an average of 22.1 and led all centers in assists. He was named to the All-EuroCup First Team in 2024.

Three Purdue senior leaders will accompany Ryan Walters at Big Ten Media Days on July 23.

Aren’t great Imo. No need for the Purdue across the chest.

Hey guys, I know i normally let this place kind of police itself like the wild west, but a signficant event like this needs some moderation. No matter what side you are on, yesterday was horrific. It was an escalation of a political process that was already out of control. We have so little information, and the situation is basically radioactive and can devolve into any number of personal attacks.

Therefore, I am shutting down ALL posts discussing it. They will be deleted, and I will keep an out out for any new ones.

My own personal views are not a secret. Both major candidates have flaws and are terrible choices. This is not the place to promote or condone violence, however.

Bennett Boehnlein - So.
Louisville, KY (St. Xavier HS)

Punter
2024 Projection: Reserve

Purdue needs a new punter this season with the departure of Jack Ansell. It currently has just two on the roster in Boehnlein and Keelan Crimmins, an Australian who transferrred in from Mississippi State. Crimmins probably has the edge, as he was the starter last year in Starkville, but Boehnlein has spent some time in the program.

He also could see some time as the holder on placekicks. I say that mostly because the one picture in action they have on his Purdue bio is him serving as a holder.
