And there is the takeaway. Regardless of who offered whom, what was said, etc.. we are getting players that the likes of ND and other top 15 programs want or at least are on their radar screen. There is no shame for a program like Purdue to "show more love" to recruits and pull them away when programs like ND put them on ice. That is simply how we must do it.
A few years ago we were taking the leftovers from MSU, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc., which were taking the leftovers from ND, UM, and OSU. Brohm has pulled us up an entire rung in the recruiting ladder, even to the point where we are competing head-to-head with the big boys at certain positions.
