I saw his name awhile ago before Spring practices, then it went quite. Any possibility that he could transfer and be elgible or has that shipped sailed never to return?
Coy Cronk. I see he is going to be a Sr. No way to be a Grad Xfr correct?
- Thread starter MilwaukeeBoilerFan
- Start date
He's going to graduate as a junior with one year left. So he could transfer.
Another ongoing thread discussing the possibility. I'm still curious if true why he hasn't already placed his name in the transfer portal. My guess is the reason is that he's not trying to advertise he wants to leave. And this Summer, he basically shows up at Purdue or back at IU. Friends are suggesting/hinting it's a done deal. But with a new offensive coordinator, maybe he's making a hard push for him to stay and he's wavering.
I don't know why this rumor is still being spread. Not too long ago his mom was stating how much the family loves IU. And i believe Matt Weaver from 247 sports asked him about the rumors of him leaving and cronk shot the rumors down. This talk of him transferring is just wishful thinking.
I know his parents personally and as a month ago he was leaving but could change his mind.
The issue I've learned about the last few years with the Transfer Portal. Never say never...each and every season is new with that plug and play system.
Not a rumor and I heard it straight from his mom who I’ve known for 30 years.
And your friend of 30 years authorized you to tell everyone what she had said?
dang.
Not sure I'd keep you on my Christmas card list.
Unless, of course, she said: "go ahead and tell Algore's interwebs."
I just talked to someone who is also close to the family and they think he’s staying at IU so I’ll just shut up!!
No need to "shut up"... just a word of caution to be judicious with your info.
It's all good.
This is along the lines of the information that I had gathered as well. Cronk was all but leaving prior to Debord being fired as an OC and IU bringing in their new OC. Cronk gave spring practices a chance this off season to see how well he meshed with the new OC and their offensive philosophy. Obviously it has gone well and Cronk is going to stay at IU...and good for him. Would it have been great to have Cronk at Purdue? Of course...but a single player on an offensive line doesn't make or break a season.
It’s a business decision for him.
If his goal is the nfl, then staying at IU is the correct way to go.
That way he can get to combine prepping the last week of November when the IU season ends instead of the first week of January when Purdue season ends.

IU has had several offensive linemen drafted fairly high in the draft. I'm kind of surprised that Purdue has had so few. One would expect with our passing oriented offense through the years, that we would also have a lot of great offensive linemen as well providing blocking.
One would think if a school is known for having a pro style passing attack, the NFL would really want our linemen. I'm at a loss as to why our online always seems to be our weakest link when it comes to the NFL draft.

How could you get all three names wrong? Failure to capitalize, wrong position, misspelling?
Some TEs are considered as offensive linemen. If you like, I'll scratch Keller and that will leave Purdue with just two offensive linemen drafted in the 4th round or better dating back to the year 2000. That's even worse!
