Slow day. Thought I'd bring him up for discussion since we don't seem to be hearing about him much.
I like what I saw in his limited minutes mop up duty. The guy isn't a stiff and can get up/down the floor. Showed a nice jumper and handles in training videos.
What's his role going to be?

Purdue opens the Big Ten season at home against Nebraska.

Drew Woodruff - So. (RS)
Louisville, KY (Trinity High School)
6-3, 285lbs.
Offensive Line
2024 Projection: Reserve

Woodruff was the part of two state championships at Trinity and was named an all-state honorable mention in Louisville and was first team in his district. According to the Purdue athletic website, he was also a wrestler in high school and excelled in the classroom, collecting academic all-state accolades. This past season, while redshirting, he was an Academic all-Big Ten selection.

This coming season he is likely a deep reserve, as many walk-on linemen are

Purdue lands two-time NAIA National Player of the Year and former Marian guard, Ella Collier.

Collier averaged 19 points and 2.5 assists, shooting 40% from three last season.

It will most likely be their only big payday.

Downey HS offensive coordinator Justin Alegria offers an insight in new #Purdue QB commit Oscar Rios.

“Oscar's potential is glaringly obvious… He just does some things that you can't teach.”

Jimmy Liston - Fr. (RS)
Hinsdale, IL (IMG Academy)
6'3", 305 pounds
Offensive Line
2024 Projection: Reserve

We continue to look at depth along the offensive line as a major strngth, and that is where Liston factors in. He played his final year of high school at the prestigious IMG Academy in Florida, then played in four games last year, mostly on special teams. He was able to hang on to his redshirt, so he still has four years of eligibility.

That's probably the best case scenario for a true freshman lineman. He was able to spend the year developing and growing, but he also got a little bit of experience. If anything, his play on special teams takes plays away from other guys and saves some wear and tear. Look for him to do more of the same this year while vying for a spot on the two deep.

New Netflix Series On Tyre Nichols Beating To Feature White Officers



LOS GATOS, CA — Netflix announced they have acquired the rights to tell the tragic story of Tyre Nichols' death at the hands of 5 black police officers. Leadership at the streaming giant confirmed the police officers will be portrayed by white actors.

"While we know the 5 officers who killed Nichols were factually black, it is also clear that they were morally white," said Netflix VP of Inclusion Vernā Myers. "Since TV is a visual medium, we want to convey to the viewer that these officers had the invisible specter of white supremacy flowing through their veins."

According to sources, the five officers guilty of the brutal beating will be played by unknown actors Wyatt Smith, Scott Peasley, Benedict Higgins, Steve O'Murphy, and Karen McMinnahan. The rest of the 283-person cast will be filled by people of color to fulfill diversity requirements.

Showrunner Nina Myers, a trans woman of color who has never directed a film before, vowed to bring the story to life in a way that modern audiences will connect with. "We vow to do this story justice... social justice," she said. "Now more than ever, viewers need to be reminded that whiteness is to blame for everything bad in the world. They then need to be beaten over the head with that message over and over again until they finally admit they're upholding a racist system. That's the very purpose of television entertainment."

At publishing time, the 5 white actors had been canceled for taking acting jobs away from people of color.

To ignore. MAGA wants to post it’s threads everyday. Ok.

Here’s the transcript………because most of you will refuse to watch the idiot show off his big brain.

An interesting short video between Jordan Peterson (who most “should” know) and Erik Kaufmann a self-described liberal national conservative. The conversation gets into changes primarily with women over time as primary predictors for woke today and historically whatever the dominant ideology of the past. It talks about the shift and differences in women in the 70s and today. Quite interesting…could a maternal instinct be in play?

Anytime corrupt politicians let the public keep more of their $ I am all for it. So no tax on tips scores well with me as it does a majority.

Interesting that polling shows.....
68% for it.

But if asked should we do a recent Trump proposal, no tax on tips.....62% for it. LOL. Evidence of crazed emotional DEMS still with TDS. So irrationally emotional!

The main reason I will vote against Biden are the prices, due to his green energy inflation. But tax issues is the 2nd reason I will vote Trump. He cut my taxes last time, and he is showing willingness to extend those same tax cuts again.

Boiler Upload’s 2024 Charlie Hughes Showcase Recruiting Notebook, with a Purdue twist.

📍 Who did Matt Painter watch?
💫 Main attraction Mullins
🚂 Reynolds shoots lights out
📈 2026s Ertel and Smith rising

The freshmen were a lot of fun to watch yesterday. They exceeded expectations at times, looked like freshmen at times, and had a couple highlights that made the future look real bright.

But the freshmen weren't the only ones to watch at practice yesterday. While Purdue's season stretched all the way to the final game, its returning players didn't seem all that interested in taking much time off before getting back in the gym. In the locker room immediately after Purdue's loss to UConn, TKR told me he had a five day rest plan then it was back in. Braden Smith said a couple days, maybe, and well, after watching some of the key pieces from last year for the first time in a couple months, it's clear they didn't waste their summer.

Purdue is going to be a lot of fun next year, and there's two players in particular who looked to be aggressive in a way that foreshadowed break out performances for both...

Getting a thread going for this weekend’s 2024 Charlie Hughes Showcase, which features several players that are on Purdue’s radar.

COMMIT ALERT: 2025 three-star OL Cameron Gorin has committed to #Purdue. The Boilermaker legacy is now set to call West Lafayette home.

I have been wondering who in the 2024 Freshmen Class will make an impact on the field this season.

We’ll Hammer & Rails has an article that list 5.

1. Tarrion Grant - CB
2. Koy Beasley - S
3. Jayden Ball - OL
4. Ty Hudkins - S
5. Spencer Porath - K

Tarrion and Koy is too good not to play. It will be interesting to see Tarrion lock horns with Jeremiah Smith in the Ohio State game.

Ty is working hard to become Thienemen’s backup.

Jayden Ball is a pleasant surprise.

Surprised Luke Williams in not on the list. Luke will play Safety along with Koy Beasley. Most likely backing up Rogers Jr.
Maybe we will have a lot of subs in the DB room. Too much talent not to rotate.

Spencer, yes we need some kicking help. Last year’s kicking game was painful to see, especially the Ohio State game.

In close competition, our team won the ticket to Paris representing the US. Norm

With Purdue basketball being the flagship power-5 outlier that holds out and does it the old-fashioned way by recruiting/developing players, does it widen the recruiting landscape for high school seniors that still want to play and look for a traditional-built team? The comradery and team chemistry that they are used to in high school.

Dems built a highrise @ $600,000 per unit for homeless.

How many of you live in $600,000 plus homes?

How long until the homeless tear this place apart and sell off piece by piece what they can for drugs and alcohol? Dem policy is just stupid on occasion....but this is absurdly dumb.

The Boilermakers have their QB.

After a visit to West Lafayette earlier this week, 2026 three-star quarterback Oscar Rios announced his commitment to Purdue.

I felt Edey ate Clingman for lunch in the championship, what's with the fuss about him going higher in the draft , did I miss something????
