2 Big 10 Qb's transferring

Maybe we should recruit Speight. I think we can sell him on our facilities.
I hope Brohm has made a call to Eason from UGA
If I were Eason I would go play for leach
Their games havent ended yet so no announcement.
UGA has Fromm, who took his job and the #2 overall prospect and #1 Dual threat QB coming to play for them next year (game is very much like DeShaun Watson).
Eason is WILDLY innacurate, very immoble and it looks like his days are #d in Athens.
I think he is worth a call but seeing as he is from Washington St. i'd def. give the advantage to Leach and WSU.
Summer breeze. Makes me feel fine.
True...but you will find those on this board that believe that IN is void of any HS Football talent and if there are any good players they would not want to come to Purdue....Dumb!!
The top QB in the country the year before was from IN and landed at Clemson!
There is definitely talent here and if we were perpetually a 7-8 win team we would land more of it!
Wouldn't be surprised at all.
I've told my wife for a few months, there's a glut of QB talent at ClemPson, and something has to give. The kid is from Indy, if he doesn't get serious PT next year, we're going to look MIGHTY attractive.
Isn't Plummer a big time QB, and maybe Sipe. Then again Sindelar has played well . so what more do you want!
Sindelar has looked great for the last 10 quarters. And he has improved a lot since that first game, and his receivers have improved their catching ability.
A lot of posters like Sipe, and I've noticed Plummer's national ranking continues to climb. He's getting close to being a 4 star QB.
Would you have wanted to play for D-Haze? That's who would have been recruiting him. I don't think D-Haze paid all that much attention to Peters anyway.
Sindelar for the next two years, followed by three years of Plummer as it looks now. Sipe is the wildcard as he was very impressive in high school
I expect there to be a really interesting QB Battle next Spring and Fall. Competition is a good thing.
I wonder how Spring at QB will look. Brought is probably out. Sindelar is playing hurt, so does he need surgery and if so does that mean he could be out?
Leaves Sipe, Alstott, and Plummer if so.
I can't speak for others, but my occasional posts concering Indiana recruiting isn't that there is no talent in Indiana but rather that some posters seem to suggest that it is the promised land. Certainly, Purdue should recruit Indiana and hopefully be successful. That doesn't mean that recruiting other states is an affront.
Many years ago when I was at Purdue a significant portion of the football recruits came from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. Over the years it spread to the South more including Florida, Georgia and Texas. While Indiana has quality players, it seems silly to me to give those other states away to become Indiana myopic.
TV and internet have made recruiting a national, or at least regional, game that I believe a school must succeed in to reach the level to which we aspire.
Blough will be back by April. Mark my words. He knows that if he doesn't play in the Spring and for some reason Sindelar does, that the job will be his to lose in the fall.
I think Brohm should take a run at Hunter Johnson from Clemson. Odds are with Kelly Bryant doing so well for them that unless he's seriously injured he will not have a shot at that job until he's a RS SR....and even then who knows if he gets recruted over (tough to say about the #1 QB in the country last year but I don't think he fits that offense, at all).
I don't think it's the promised land....but when you look back at our good teams, especially on the D side of the ball....they had a lot of 3 star IN kids who really wanted to come play here, develop and turn into NFL stars. The list is pretty long. It's not the promised land, but we can't continue to miss out on these types if we want to take the next step to competing for the West.
Who are we more likely to snag, a N. IN kid that grew up watching or at least hearing about Purdue.....or some kid in TX that has never heard of us? It's really that simple.
The issue with TX is that while Tiller was successful there 15-20 years ago, the CFB landscape has shifted greatly. Teams like Houston, Baylor, TCU and even Oklahoma State have taken large steps forward and recruit that area of the country better than Purdue ever could.
We need Indiana talent for the program to take the next step. There's no way around it.
I guess my view is just that I would be disinclined to stop fishing the big ponds hard.
I know that it's pretty subjective to assess football pond size. But certainly an argument can be made to use NFL players as a reasonable determiner.

How long does it take to develop a QB? From what I've seen it is a rare for first or even second year players to be a really good. And the exceptions are usually phenomenally athletic QB's who run when the defense has their primary read covered. So year 1 with any pocket passer is usually going to be fraught with growing pains, perhaps less so with a guy who has been a back-up in a system for a year or two.
I guess what I'm saying is no matter how good Sipe or Plummer or any transfer is, is it realistic for any of them to be a better option than Sindelar in 2018? Maybe I'm just tired of the revolving door at the QB position, but I like the idea of investing in a guy and giving him time to develop. Is Sindelar that guy? I was beginning to think maybe he wasn't, but the last couple games made me think maybe between finally having enough games under his belt and being given the chance to be the unquestioned starter, maybe the light finally came on.

Nothing against Brohm casually asking Brownsburg’s coach how Hunter’s doing down at Clemson, the next time he sees him...
Are you sure???
Besides, I personally hate to see Purdue trying to skirt rules...
I’ll put it this way: if Ryan Kerrigan, Kawann short, Anthony Spencer, Roosevelt Colvin , Bernard Pollard, Chike Okeafor, etc etc, were from Texas, for example, they never would have come to Purdue. Most of these kids went to Purdue camps and/or games growing up, and the staffs were able to build early relationships with them. For example, we had Kawann pretty much in the bag by the time Michigan discovered and offered him - it was too late.
And it’s a much more efficient use of our coaches’ most finite resource: time.
Yes. College coaches can talk to HS coaches whenever, about whatever. Whether Brohm wants to do that or not is a different story.
I've never suggested not recruiting Indiana kids or utilizing camps. I am simply saying that various posters think that Indiana recruiting borders on the end all, be all of recruiting and that I think that view is terribly myopic.
You may well be correct. I understand that prior to permission to contact from the athlete's school, a new school is prohibited from encouraging a transfer, so I am not seeing it as quite so clearcut. But even assuming it is legal, is this not exactly the kind of conduct that we pillory other schools and coaches for?
