You are aware he was in the final five for player of the year on offense right? And, that was on a team with at 3,000 yard rusher. Also, Moore wasn’t in the top 100 of his class. Ended up doing something only two other players have ever done being named a consensus all-American as a true freshman.
I feel that next year, it will be hard to find 3 true freshmen with better seasons. It’s possible he doesn’t get the stats to back it up, but he will have the opportunity to do it.
Brohm knows he has to get bigger and faster and this ‘19 class has the potential to be incredible and they will all get early experience. If Brohm lands a very good ‘20 and ‘21 class, there is a chance that this Purdue squad gets to the promiseland. If Moor stays for the ‘21 season, the chances go wayyyy up.
Will they make it? I don’t know. But, I am so hyped about this class that I would say yes just for funsies.
What would it take? Trice to gain some weight and transition to OLB. Grant, Graham, Beverly and Allen are dominant like expected. The DL all develops and over achieve as well as GK being the all-American we expect. Purdue has hit on all of their OL. Plummer becomes Heisman level talent, as well as King. The ‘20 and ‘21 class provide immediate depth and possible fill some vacancies. If those things happen, absolutely Purdue could make a playoff run. A lot of ifs, but nothing outrageous in there. I don’t think at this point anybody could say Purdue has no shot, but this ‘19 class hasn’t played a single game. We may not see most of them really blossom until ‘20 or maybe ‘21.
