Dante Johnson
- Thread starter boilerjrut3
- Start date
he also just visited NC State. I wonder if Malcolm Robinson's official visit this past weekend and Wilson rejoining the team affected his decision ! Robinson was originally recruited as a guard, but is now projected as a defensive tackle. Some scouting services projected Johnson as a DT and not a DE.
I looked at McDougle's tweets, and he says nothing about Purdue. he's visiting WV this weekend.

Well, while Purdue is still dealing with de-commitments and struggling to fill out its class. IU recruiting is on fire. Not bad for a HS coach and a grandpa Oc. Iufb on the rise!

Are you referring to the 3 2* players and one 3* player? The 3* player I'll give you but the others? Lol.
Even with our "struggles" we have a higher average star rating than your class on the "rise."
On fire is one flip from USC, flip from Charlotte, and beating out Idaho?
Granted one is good...but I doubt USC is losing much sleep over a three star WR...and I'd rather have DJ Edwards another 3 star WR whose a mid year guy anyway....Allen wanted that too...but Brohm got him
Enjoy getting pounded by Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and soon Maryland. We both know IU football will be back to irrelevance in short order.
Rivals and most rating agency are often wrong and misleading. Anyone who knows football recruiting knows that a two star from Florida is basically a 3 star anywhere else. As for our class, we have one 4 star, a few high end 3 stars and a bunch of guys that fit our system. Purdue meanwhile is losing commits they just got a week ago, who does that. You guys can barely get kids on campus to take a visit. Brohm's early recruiting returns are less than impressive, and points to our continued dominance of you guys for the next few years.
Thank you Mr Expert, why play any games when all we have to do is ask you what will happen. This is a Purdue board, in case you didn't know.
With the talent we have on our roster I think we can compete with Penn State and Mayland. Mi$higan and Ohio $t are head and shoulders above anyone else in our conference, so it is what it is. But coming from where we've been I'll take 7 to 8 wins a year. Purdue is struggling to compete in the second class west division and Brohm is not the coach to change that around.
So you bash rivals in the start of your post, then brag about 4 stars and high end 3 stars?
We lost one two star recruit...didn't IU lose a highly touted TE and four star ATH to Kentucky? Which one is worse?
Still surprised they haven't been chasing a JuCo DT, but with Wilson back and Watts, Criddle, and Neal maybe they don't believe they need to add beyond Robinson.
I would rather they take a Plan B OL over Plan C DT at this point
Let me know when you guys have a winning record.
Barely get kids on campus? We've had recruits come in droves actually. We've landed several recruits that never would've come here if Hazell was still here. D'J Edwards is a prime example. He straight up said he wasn't coming here before the coaching change and that Brohm was the reason he committed. Oh he took an official visit to IU yet still picked Purdue lol.
Not bashing rivals, just saying that alot of time they get it wrong. Yes we've had de-commitments but that expected after losing your head coach. But you guys are losing commitments from kids you just got. How does that happen to a new coach, who was supposed to be the best coaching hire of this off-season. Meanwhile up in Minnesota P.J. is kicking you guys butt. Thats the guy Purdue should have hired, oh wait he turn Purdue down.
D'J Edwards is a nice pick up for you guys, but IU stop recruiting him awhile ago.
He turned us down even though we never seriously pursued him? Lol
We lost one guy that had committed to Brohm which is understandable since Brohm had only been recruiting him for a very short period of time.
The other guys that have decommitted were basically told to leave by Brohm because they weren't good enough to stay. Guys like Mitch West, LaPerrion Perry, Brevin Harris, and Jylton Tusha were told to look for other opportunities. Like you said, decommitments are expected after losing a head coach.
So now we are at the making stuff up point...I mean Fleck turned down IU too.
One decommitted two star over:
3 or 4 star DB TJ Jallo on campus
3 star OL Smart, on campus
3 star WR DJ Edwards on campus
3 or 4 star WR Tyler Hamilton on campus
3 star Jalen Jackson on campus
3 star Viktor Beach with SEC offers
3 star WR Darius Pittman
And two stars DE Higgins (on campus) , DB/LB Abrams and DE Hightower
Has Allen even came close to that since he was hired...Allens been at IU all year...Brohm has done all that since early December
He took an official in October so no that wasn't that long ago. And if he took an official, you guys were obviously serious on him or you wouldn't have wasted an official.
Don't forget our silent commitment who once was a 4* rivals 250 member too.
I Don't think he will be able to recruit on the type of level he will have to to succeed in the bigten. Plus I think that the highspeed up tempo offense is less effective now that everyone is doing it.
And Allen will? You have no idea. Everyone is definitely not doing it. In the Big Ten West, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Northwestern aren't using an up tempo offense. Care to try again?
Who wants a three star Florida kid (which means four star overall I guess) who's 6'2" sub 4.5 and mid year enrollee anyway
Exactly. Both of their WR commitments are 2 star guys with way worse offers than Edwards.
All Im saying is that its not new anymore. We have be running that type of offense for 6 years at IU with mixed result.
Brohm is known for impressive offenses. Without Wilson, I could see your offense having a drop off.
Let me know when you get to 8 wins...or even beat a team with a winning record. You've managed 6 wins a couple times, largely a function of scheduling. And congrats on your recent QB commit. No doubt Charlotte will be scrambling to find a replacement.
1] With nearly all of their talent returning next year, coupled with Franklin's recruiting prowess and Moorhead's playbook, Penn State will bury you for the foreseeable future. Durkin is just getting started at Maryland, and he has already surpassed IU's recruiting.
Do you try to be this ignorant, or does it come naturally?
2] What a stupid comment.
Brohm is just over 7 weeks in as Purdue's football coach, and he's already produced better recruiting results than the previous two coaches combined. His offense at WKU finished in the top 10 nationally during his watch, including 5th last season.
Try again, dummy.
Their is absolutely no buzz around IUFB and that includes your recruiting class.
Only reason IU even achieved back to back 6-7 losing seasons was due to the Purdue "Haze" which is now gone.
It's a great day to be a Boiler!

Hope used to try to get us to believe a 2 star in Florida was a 3 star or higher elsewhere. Look where that got us.
Too bad IU just lost their OL coach...gotta be a bad sign...a coaching decommit this close to NSD
Better than their Basketball fans who still bring up the 1980s like it just happened
No big deal. I'm sure Frey and Wilson had nothing to do with IU's success on offense or the development of their OL. From what I hear, Allen really deserved most of the credit. TIC
I'm sure Clemson totally agrees with you on the uptempo offense being less effective...same with OSU, Florida, and most of the other programs that are successful that aren't named Alabama, Michigan, Wisconsin, and USC.
You also realize you just shat on your own offensive strategy when you made that statement, right?
Are you using alternate facts?
Current Rivals Rankings:
IU: 13th with 22 recruits for a total of 1155 points
Purdue: 14th with 17 recruits for a total of 960
That means Purdue is just 195 points behind IU and are not able to use their full allotment of 20 players at this point for points. If Brohm is able to land 5 3* players (which he appears he will be able to do), he will drop his lowest 2 rated players (Alstott & Hightower who are 5.3 RR) while adding roughly 5 players to the total who would more than likely be roughly 5.5 RR. That would boost Purdue's numbers to 1200 for a full class. That would push Purdue ahead of IU in the current Rivals rankings.
I haven't done inside research to see what all possible commits are on the table and their RR. I'll do that as I have time today to give a potential ceiling number for Purdue.
Do all 3* players get assessed the same point value? So if we landed a guy with a 5.7 RR and a guy with a 5.5 RR, would the system count them for the same number of points?
