I’m assuming we will go hard to lock up Gorin, but we NEED more OL recruits. That is the most important position to develop and Odom has said it is a point of emphasis. Ideally we would have 4-5 a year. I guess we do have 5-6 from last years class still but I’d like to see us add a few more to go with Gorin. I don’t see any 2025 OL on UNLV, but there are a handful of other candidates I can see still out there:

Ozzy Pollard, Carmel. Offer from IU and a bunch of MAC

Avery Huggins, Westfield. MAC offers.

Max Parciak, Nappanee. Commited to ball state but didn’t sign

Karson Kinsinger, Lapel. Akron, In St offers

Chance Johnson, Jeffersonville. He has offers from Md and Ky, don’t know why he is rated so low.

Ibrahim Kebe, OH. Mac type offers.

Michael Smith, WI. Offer from Co St and Wazzou.

Anyone know of any others?

The only experience I have with a coaching change is the Brohm to Walters situation as the others occurred before my "wisdom" kicked in. What I recall during that transition it that there was much guessing on who and that it happened rather quickly. I read where the AD said money would be made available to bring in a coach and that they wanted to move quickly.

What is quickly in college sports? I depicted a possible timeline to help me process this (release date = T):

1. T-21 days, Purdue AD had knowledge of potential release and begins assembling a short list of candidates
2. T-10 days, Purdue AD has to have a gut feel and sharpens his potential candidates to a short list
3. T-1 day, Purdue AD confirms release with president and BoT to make the announcement
4. T, Walters released and search is officially underway, short list of candidates are contacted to gauge interest
5. T+3 days, Purdue AD should have 1-3 candidates defined as selection progresses
6. T+5 days, selection is finalized, details are worked out
7. T+8 days, new coach is announced

Does that timing feel about right to you?

FYI…

At this point, I'm not even sure how may sure fire starters we have coming back next season.

That said, I think we're looking at 25+ transfers to add depth and I'd say 15-18 new starters.

Our defense is really tight, but our offense is weak. Mostly passing around the perimeter until we put up a contested shot or get the ball inside. At the quarter its 12-8 Purdue. Amiyah just brings the ball across half court, stands 38 feet from the rim dribbling, then gives it up. We run NO offense with her at point. Jones running point was responsible for 8 of our 12 points. McCarthy is giving the Cats centers a hard time at both ends and playing under control. Puryear made a nice basket just before the half. Bass is throwing up a lot of shots, but not making much, 1 of 5.

Purdue moves up one spot in this week's AP Poll.

Current rumors say Ohio state will still be able to have their first playoff game at Ohio state. And that’s all that really matters to their AD. He wants that $$$$.

Additional rumors say the opponent will most likely be IU in a rematch.

If he loses to IU, all bets on him staying at OSU are off. I do expect a couple of his assistants will be made scapegoats.

Last rumor is OSU has a lot of NIL money to spend.

COMMIT ALERT: Purdue flips 2025 tight end Jon Grimmett from UNLV.

Super impressive.
