247 article on expectations of new P5 coaches

Doubtful...
I dont think so. This was always going to be a “transition” year with a tough schedule and new players at QB, CB and other key positions. I’d agree the cupboard isn’t bare. Good RB, good TE, experienced WRs…

If we can play decent defense we should win 6.

All of the DL who are leaving to the portal I had assumed were leaving for the draft.

Johnson was the only DL that I thought would get drafted.

Agree with good RB and good TE.

1) No secondary and zero depth in that area
2) No LB depth and lack of talent in general
3). No OL depth at all
4). No RB depth in the event of injury
5). Lots of WRs but absolutely no play makers.

The cupboard is pretty bare right now. He better hit the portal hard if this team is gonna win 6 games...
 
Brohm had 3-4 very good recruiting classes. Where are all these great players he recruited? Surely they are still here. Just because they didn’t start doesn’t mean we don’t have talent.

And if the cupboard is bare that would mean all those recruiting classes were never that great to begin with.

as I've mentioned before, his 19 was really good but only half are left on the team.

So what you’re saying is the ranking of his other recruiting classes was a bit overrated. And we shouldn’t have judged the future of Purdue football based solely on the ranking of a recruiting class?

Gosh people here thought because Brohm’s recruiting classes were so awesome we’d surely become a top 25 team. I guess they got too excited and were not being realistic and that many other factors come into play that affect the future of a team besides the ranking of a recruiting class.

Is it possible our recruiting class was just a tad over inflated because all of our high ranked players played the same position as our other highly ranked players? I guess instead of always adding a 4 star qb, we should have been adding a 4 star player at other positions?

A total shocker

DL should be fine. QB, WR, and RB should be solid. Secondary does not look good but hopefully Walters can fill that in with portal pickups. Hopefully adding Card can get a good TE and OL in portal as well.

You hit it on the head. His recruiting classes were not deep and it shows. He had to get while the getting was good.
 
lets see what players Purdue gets in the Portal and see what players step up next year, don't chalk up a win or loss before games are played.

The ranking were not overrated. We only had a single class in the top 25 and with transfers as someone else said only half remains. Brohms classes were solid to good most years. Having said that even if we had top 25 classes every single year we are not likely beating Michigan, Ohio St, or perhaps even Wisconsin. So we have 9 winnable games and most of those are coin flip type games. 6 wins will be a good year.

What is your obsession with trying to be right all the time? Your posts just make you look desperate and foolish.
 
I’m not trying to be right. I’m reflecting on all those other posts by posters much smarter than myself that said how awesome Brohm’s drafts were. It would appear now they weren’t so great and those posters are silent except for calling me names
 
Are we going to start again with all the cupboard was left bare posts once again? Perhaps the cupboard was never full to begin with. And we are what we are!
