2024-25 Purdue Transfer THREAD

[POTFHBTFU]

I’m surprised he’s not looking at entering the draft. He could get snaps at TE for the Colts this Sunday.

I thought you had to be 3 years out of HS for the draft? Or did that change? Everything keeps changing, lol

 

[POTFHBTFU]

Ahrmad Branch is the third player who has now pivoted and is coming back. That’s at least 6 upperclassmen returning.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

Got a lot of love because he was closer to the QB and generally the only guy open.

He’ll be more than fine really at any school. NFL…we shall see but I’d expect a 250k payday to a top 25 program.

Seems like we could get him 250k. The top 25 program...TBD.

The grass ain't always greener. See D. Burks (I know he got hurt but didn't seem like he did much outside of game 1).

Correct as far as I know. Klare is a RS soph, so he's eligible.

Burks would’ve helped that team if healthy. Here he’d have been an afterthought. We were still trying to master the forward pass confidently 10 games into the season.

Burks is a mid round NFL prospect. This is not my opinion but others out there in that world who know much more than we do

I forgot he redshirted freshman year never mind

no loss there....

I think this one hurts. Yeh, he was wildly inconsistent, but he's got the size and can win the jump ball.

Disagree to an extent as those two things he brings can be replaced. Especially if he couldn't manage to do anything like that on a 1 and 11 team.

 

[SKYDOG]

I'm trying to figure out if Klare was successful in our offense because the WRs were MIA for most of the year or he was really good. Honestly, I'm not sure he's as good as Hopkins or Durham, or even a healthy Miller, at least not yet.

Not sure if he’s as good as those, but he seems to run faster. Speed gets a lot of attention , so he will be well compensated by his next team.

Listening to the B1G channel on Siruis, some OSU fansite hump reported this morning that the 'nuts are hot after Thineman ..... FWIW

Must not be much portal interest for these guys. They are hoping coach Odom will take ‘em back.

does "winning the jump ball" mean that he actually has to catch it?

If so, then it's no irreplaceable loss, IMO.

who are the others ?

I was going say, i don't even remember us throwing him a jump ball.

Would really like to know what’s going through a kids head who was a marginal contributor here on where they land. Do they all feel like Alabama is just a call away? Or is a guy like Botros Alisandro logically thinking he’ll get some more run and contribute at a place like Central Michigan?

hope he doesn't return

 

[Bippus33]

Both lines were obviously not great, if not let's face it, pretty bad. We didn't get pressure, didn't stop the run. We couldn't run against most teams and were at best mediocre against a decent pass rush.

My hope is that the new coach solidifies the lines. Everything builds out from there. If you can have two good lines, you can get away with weaknesses elsewhere in a way you can't if your lines are no good.

Maybe Card would have been a decent QB behind a great line but boy was he subpar behind a bad one.

Odom seems to have recruited above average lineman on both sides of the ball. An achievement that our last coaches weren't great at.

Yep, it was like "Lumpy just got hurt. Dopey, get in there."

TV exposure alone should mean something in favor of Purdue. We played 5 of the 12 playoff teams.
If you want to be somebody, you have to play somebody!!!

Dude you’re describing George karlaftis. Will Heldt is nothing like George

By the way, when do tickets go on sale for the 2024 season ending banquet???!

Proven guys…yea I get it that money talks but guys like this I think that every time I see a player of this caliber enter the portal. I’m not trying to throw any kids under the bus trying to transfer out because you never know their back story but a lot of kids should look in the mirror before jumping ship…unless they are told by a current coach to enter 🤷🏼‍♂️ I get that it’s a free portal out there but is the grass really that much greener on the other side unless you’re cashing in a big pay check??…

Umm…I don’t think what Purdue did this season can be called playing football. Saw somewhere online that if teams spotted Purdue 34 points at the start of each game we would only have been 6-6. Just historically awful.

You obviously didn't look at his stats.....
