buckeye 4 star WR Caleb Burton in portal
- Thread starter PaBoiler78
- Start date
Colorado WR (4 star) also in the portal. Deon has now lost 41 players, almost half the schollies.
I'm waiting for the Milton Wright back to Purdue headline.
The portal is beyond ridiculous. Coaches aren't building a program anymore, they're creating a team year-to-year.
I think it’s great. A lot of players get D1 scholarships based on their junior year of high school and can’t play at a division 1 level. Now.. Kory Taylor goes and maybe some late bloomer from a small G5 school gets a spot ..
No one has made the connection that he played with Hudson Card in highschool?
I think Burton transferred to Lake Travis just for his senior year, after Hudson graduated.
Most people don't like it, but the NCAA created this mess and now as a program, you either get on board with it or get left behind.
We could always use another WR. I am not too sure about Wright coming back. Broc will be great if healthy, but that is a big question mark. Yaseen has not been healthy enough either.
To be honest, NIL/Transfer Rules are dictating that the coaches do so.
I don't complain. I don't think its coincidence that Brohms 2 best years came in years where you could plug huge gaps via the portal. We definitely got more out of the portal than we lost over his tenure here and I for sure hope that Walters keeps that up. Holstege (and maybe Miller) are the only 2 guys I can think of losing that had any impact here and then potentially somewhere else.
I think we get the best of both worlds....the ability to get guys to develop and stash them a bit and allow them to....and the guys that don't or don't want to be here can find opportunity elsewhere. I think overall the transfer portal isn't going to make us into the next UGA or Alabama....but if theres a solid foundation of talent here, good player development and hole plugging we can consistently be 8-4 and potentially better when the stars and schedule align.
As a Purdue fan, thats all I really ask for!
tt almost makes the recruiting classes less significant in some respect
Is someone telling this guy what Charlie Jones did for the past 2 years?

On a macro level, it’s going to eventually drive down TV ratings, subscriptions, interest, etc, if
A: the haves can just swoop in and buy the have-nots’ best players.
B: every year, each team is a brand new group of 1 year semi-pro mercenaries.
I agree. Right now I'm in a wait and see mode but if the current turnstile aporoach isn't more related to a staff change than an ongoing approach, I will probably find other things to occupy my time.
I’ll still go to some games, mostly because I have kids there, but probably won’t watch many on TV if it gets to the point where we aren’t competitive.
my bad, got my Kalebs, 4 stars, and osu players mixed up
