Dan Monteroso to transfer for bball

[takedownboiler]

I remember him getting a lot of hype during his senior year of high school playing basketball. Apparently he is done with football and going to play somewhere. Why not walk on for Purdue?

Damn, the football program is in such a sad place.
I can't wait for Burke to get out.
And Hazell.

I agree that would be ideal from the fan's viewpoint. Maybe he wants to be on scholarship somewhere and knows he won't be offered by CMP (and he shouldn't be, at least not for next season: he's been focused on football the last couple of years).

FIRE PAINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nagem I was suggesting a Charles Davis type thing. Of course he def wouldn't give up a scholarship to walk on. If he thinks he's good enough to be on scholarship somewhere he is good enough to be a walk on for MP.

Pretty telling about our football team when someone would rather play basketball at a no name school than football in the big.

I think our wins and losses over the last 3 years are the most telling of our football team

He wasn't playing meaningful snaps.

He wasn't playing meaningful snaps.

No Pudue football player has played a "meaningful snap" for at least 8 years.

Thank you for stating the fact of the matter when it comes to Purdue football.

Monteroso is a guy whose career was horribly mismanaged and handled from the outset...that said, he was really only another guy whose career was horribly mismanaged and handled from the outset by Hazell and staff.

Hopefully he finds success wherever he ends up...more importantly, that he finds some peace of mind and happiness.

He was a very good basketball player in high school. Given that he hasn't been able to crack the two deeps in three years at Purdue, it makes sense for him to pursue this, especially if he completes his degree prior to departing.

He was a very good football player as well in high school...and he had cracked the two deeps...in fact, he did so as a true freshman...his failure to crack it again (and it is debatable as to whether he genuinely did or not) is more of an indictment of Hazell and staff than it is of Monteroso though.

That's certainly one way to look at it.

He should go play basketball at IUPUI - He'll have a better shot at beating MAC schools there.

He was a WR with suspect hands an at 6'4" had troubles catching in traffic.

The key word is "play". He hasn't been playing much with the football team and may feel burned-out of football after working hard for 3 years and barely getting on the field.

Good luck to the kid. I heard great things about his basketball game - hopefully he can find his groove quickly.
