With a pair of returning All-Americans Purdue will play Indiana and Wisconsin in Mackey this season.

Elijah Jackson - Fr. (RS)
Indianapolis, IN (Lawrence Central HS)
5'10", 185 pounds
Running Back
2024 Projection: Reserve

After years of seeing an Anthrop in the No. 33 spot it is still strange to see someone else there. For the second straight year it is Mr. Jackson here.

Jackson played in high school at Lawrence Central in Indianapolis, and he is intriguing because he was a track standout that also played running back and returner in football. Purdue's return game last year was forgettable at best, so there is an opportunity there for a guy with speed to make a big difference. He reported running a 6.77-second 60-yard dash and a 10.47-second 100-yard dash, both of which are school records for Lawrence Central. According to his MaxPreps profile, he racked up 1,237 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground over the last two seasons. Jackson also saw time at receiver, cornerback, and kick returner.

Joseph Jefferson II - So.
Indianapolis, IN (Pike HS)
6', 190 pounds
Defensive Back
2024 Projection: Reserve

Jefferson is entering his third year in the program and he has shown steady progress each season. He played in the blowout of Indiana State in 2022, but was able to still redshirt. Last year he played in 11 of 12 games, but mostly on special teams. He did get a pair of tackles against Indiana.

At Pike HS he recorded 75 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, four interceptions and one forced fumble on his way to first team all-state honors as a senior, which was quite impressive considering that Pike was 1-9 in his senior season. He also wrestled and ran track there.

Jefferson's development should lead to more time on the field this year. This is a great chance for him to crack the two-deep, especially since he is a holdover from the Brohm era.

Purdue is going to move 2 of its volleyball games to Mackey Arena this season to take advantage of the much larger seating capacity. Games are Indiana on October 19 and Wisconsin on October 26. Tickets go on sale August 6 for the JPC and August 7 for the general public.

Well this is creepy.

Ryan Walters talked before heading up to his press conference about the differences between this year and last.

Boiler Upload predicts which players will lead the Boilermakers in top statistical categories this fall.

Kammi refuses to meet with BB or attend the joint meeting with him.

Oh well....she probably had an appointed with her nail salon.

After sending out three offers earlier this week, two more came on Sunday, both prospects out of Utah.

The first was 6-foot-10 big man Jalyn Sondrup, who also holds offers from Utah, BYU, Cal, Arizona State, and Washington.

Sondrup averaged 19.2 points and 10.4 rebounds per game last year while shooting 60% from the floor and 37% from three.

The other was four-star guard Junior County, who also has offers from Houston, TCU, BYU, Stanford, Utah, and Utah State.

More to come on both in the morning.

My son purchased the 2024 version and has been playing the dynasty game with Purdue.

I KNOW IT IS ONLY A GAME

But, he's in his third year, ranked #1, putting up 609+ yards, passing and running at will, Heisman-winning WR, and beating the likes of ND, OSU, and Alabama.

I find myself watching, coaching, and celebrating the victories.

Cam Heide is a problem.

WTF was that?
What do drag queens and mocking Christianity have to do with the Olympics?
Even the lefty libs thought this was weird and inappropriate.
Apparently they didn't learn anything from Bud Light......

COMMIT ALERT: 2025 four-star cornerback Dawayne Galloway announces commitment to Purdue. He is now the highest-rated recruit in the class for the Boilermakers.

China looks very good (so tall!) but Annie Drews is playing her heart out. She has been singled out numerous times by announcers. China won the first set going away and is ahead in the second 18-12.

From the ESPN article on the Top 10 questions of the NCaa settlement.

What's happening with walk-ons and scholarships?​

In the interest of removing as many universal caps on compensation as possible, the NCAA and conferences also agreed to get rid of the current rules that limit the number of scholarships allowed for each team. To keep the richest teams from stockpiling players, the NCAA will instead make rules that limit roster size.
The settlement terms include specific roster limits for 45 different sports. Football teams will be limited to 105 players on a roster. Men's and women's basketball teams can have 15 players each.
Current NCAA rules limit football teams to 120 players during the season, and only 85 of them can receive a scholarship. In the future, all 105 players on the team would be able to receive a scholarship. While schools aren't required to give all of the players a scholarship, many coaches raised concerns this summer that the new rules would eliminate walk-ons. Each school will get to decide how many of its players it puts on scholarship.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Former President Donald Trump says he is returning to Butler County for a rally after he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month.

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump said on Friday that he is coming back to Butler County for a rally to honor Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed during his July 13 rally in Butler Township on the Butler Farm Show grounds, and the two men who were injured. Trump did not say the date or location of the rally, only stating, "Stay tuned for details."

Of the two candidates, only Donald J. Trump wouild be brave enouight to do such a thing.

Kammi Harris...a mixed race faux black Indian wearing second hand HIllary pant suits and swearing "I was never the boarder Czar".

Who are the top players for the Boilermakers according to Pro Football Focus grades heading into 2024?

Looks like Painter was busy the last few days in Utah so trying to consolidate all the offers I’ve seen.

This Pennsylvania TV add shows the problems of KH in her own words, & ties the DEM candidate (in this case Bob Casey) to the DEM problems and reminds the viewer of the mess KH & Casey would be.

Love the witches cackle in the background too....

The Trump team should copy this approach.... and add a split screen of how they would fix America.

Damarjhe Lews - Sr.
Griffin, GA (Griffin HS)
6'3", 295 Pounds
Defensive Line
2024 Projection: Possible Starter

The last two years have been rough for Lewis. After transferring from Indiana he was a solid rotation player in 2021. He played in 12 games and even made three starts. In 2022 he was lost in preseason camp due to an injury and he played in just two games last eyar before he was injured again and knocked out for the year.

If healthy, I see Lewis as a depth player this year. He is capable of being a spot starter, but he should get at least a few snaps along the defensive line.

Antonio Harris - Fr.
Chandler, IN (Castle HS)
6', 188 pounds
Running Back
2024 Projection: Likely Redshirt

Harris is a relative unknown walk-on from southern Indiana's Castle HS, where he was a two-time all-state selection. He had a monster game in alst year's season opener with 4 TDs and 262 yards from scrimmage. He finished the year with over 1,000 yards rushing and 20 TDs and he also had 546 yards receiving and five more scores there.

That makes him avery interesting type of back. He definitely has the athleticism and speed (he ran track) to eventually make a mark.

Spencer Porath - Fr.
Brownsburg, IN (Brownsburg HS)
5'11", 194 pounds
Kicker
2024 Projection: Possible starter

Purdue did get a prominent member of the Brownsburg basketball team after all. no, not Kanon Catchings. Porath was a starting guard alongside Catchings with the Bulldogs. He was an outstanding high school kicker and he also served as a punter for a really good Brownsburg team that struggled in tournament play. Last season Brownsburg was the No. 1 team in the state at 9-0 entering the postseason. They rolled through the difficult Hoosier Crossroads Conference and even had a non-conference win over Cathedral. They were then upset by Ben Davis in the first round of the state tournament.

In 2022 they suffered a similar fate, as they finished 10-2 after losing to Cathedral 14-7 in the tournament. Still, much of that is not on Porath. He was 7 for 7 on field goals last year and he served as his team's punter, averaging 40 yards per kick. He was one of the top HS kickers in the country and even made the Army All-American Bowl.

Porath enters this year in a nice spot. If he does not win the starting job he will like redshirt, as the other two kickers on the roster are 6th year COVID year guys. That gives him a chance to develop before he takes over the job in 2025.
