It’s funny you’re using recruiting rankings as a flex. Who cares. It matters on the field and outside the 2 outlier seasons IU is just not relevant. It’s like basketball. IU always has higher recruiting rankings but your coaching is so piss poor it doesn’t matter
Delusional
- Thread starter boilermaker75
- Start date
The recruit ranking flex is all they have. They can't win without a pandemic and have goose crap all over their stadium. So their reasons to 'crow' about anything are reduced to like one or two things: One being recruit rankings and the other their sister finally yes to a date.
You're right on the word flipped, still his ranking is high and the offers were quality. They stopped recruiting the OL when they thought they had found a better player happens all the time. Have to wait and see on the transfer rankings but many teams are going to get 5+ players. The transfer portal is now recruiting 2.0. This all being said I still think you have to wait 2+years to see if it all pans out. I also think recruiting classes should be ranked on the average rating of your players not on the total number of players.
Coach LEO and IU fans were talking about winning the BIG this year prior to the season starting - taking the next step. IU took a big step alright - right back to where they belong as the worst team in the BIG, now and historically.
Not with your coaching staff and serious attrition. Your team is being gutted.
You’re clueless. Purdue is historically a 0.520 program and IU is about 0.420. IU is one of the very worst programs in CFB history. And look at that, after the fluke Covid year, IU is again. IU hasn’t won a bowl game since 1991 - 30 years! IU has won 3 bowls in its entire history. (Purdue has won 10.). IU hasn’t won a BIG title since 1967. GTFOH, Loosier.

Not going to lie, I'm really surprised you guys don't have any transfers on the OL especially after how poor you were there last year. Purdue had/had a better OL than you guys and we're still adding ready-to-play guys that we can plug in immediately. You have a good crop of incoming guys on the OL but I think it'd be wishful thinking that they'd play significant minutes as a freshman.
Indinia’s top rated recruit, Omar Cooper, has opened his recruitment up. I know there are some mixed views on him, but he might be worth a look. I’m sure he’ll get some late interest from other schools. It fits with the rumors about McCulley going into the portal, too.
One thing I’m curious about is it seems like some of your 4* guys didn’t seem to have a lot of teams after them late in the game (Sneed and James in particular). Any ideas why?
Dasan (4 star #58 overall) decommitted from OSU to come play for his father. Trevell Mullen (4 star #30 Corner) came to play with his All-American brother...kind of hard to flip those guys. The other 4 stars we beat out teams like Alabama, Clemson and OSU. Sampson James was kind of a weird one. I heard that OSU did not want him anymore and his on field play kind of showed why. He still has the potential to be a good back, and I wish him success at Purdue next year.
No idea.
I think it was a combo of the staff having relationships with the kids that the kids were comfortable with and trusting. When Hoover decommitted, he said it was because of Sheridan being let go. Otherwise, he would have stayed.
Relationships are important to these kids. They are human after all.
He signed, so I don't think that's gonna change for this cycle.
He didn't open his recruitment, up he just said he is signing in February. He has no interest in Purdue, the only school he would flip to is Notre Dame, as they just lost two wide receiver commits. Also, these "rumors" your referencing are all created on this pathetic thread, McCulley's not going anywhere.
LOL, since 1970 Purdue has one big ten title, and it wasn't even outright, cherry pick all the stats you want, Purdue's peak the last 50 years was an 8-4 season where they were Co B1G champions.
LOL, cherry pick all you want but your coach(with all of this supposedly "superior" talent) is 1 and 3 against his main rival, 15 and 28 in conference[including 5 and 8 against the West) and has yet to beat a team that finished ranked or any P5 team that finished with a winning conference record. All after inheriting a program that was in far better shape than what Brohm took over.
The talent hasn't even gotten to campus yet, they are high school seniors right now. That's how recruiting works bud.
You know we stopped recruiting him right? He was absolutely interested in Purdue during his recruitment.
Funny you always "stop recruiting" IU commits, and then land kids that are by all accounts significantly worse.
I know exactly how recruiting works(and I'm not your "bud"). Fans like you have been showing up for years boasting of all this "talent" that's coming to indinia, yet the record established by your head coach shows different results.
Who said always? By all accounts? You mean rankings from guys on the internet that end up meaning literally nothing once they get to campus? Your best defensive player last year was a 2* that no one cared about. Look at a guy like Rashawn Williams. Ratings are awesome on paper but mean Jack squat once they set foot on campus.
We stopped recruiting Cooper and DJ Moore fyi.
It looks like Payne missed a lot of time due to an injury so I’m guessing a lot of those offers dried up. Moore I know had a lot of big offers but I think there were some questions around his motor If I remember correctly.
The 2020 class that had one four star in it? I'll give you that the 2019 class hasn't had any one breakout, but that's mostly because there were so many 5th year seniors. Either way the 2021 and 2022 classes are way better than 2019.
I wouldn’t say the 2021 class is way better than the 2019 class. Look pretty comparable to me.
I think this warrants Indinia rewarding Allen with a 10 year extension. I bet there would be Purdue fans who would contribute to a gofundme campaign for that.
First Moore, now Cooper, that's pretty convenient. Offers mean college coaches also believe they are more talented, and Cooper had a way more impressive offer list than the PU wide receiver commits. You can nitpick recruiting rankings all you want, and I am more than willing to say there are plenty of highly rated guys that don't do sh*t, and plenty of low 3 stars and 2 stars that turn into NFL draft picks but the bottom line is there's a reason Alabama and OSU's recruits have a higher rating than Western Kentucky's, development is obviously a huge factor in the results of CFB team, but to imply that talent out of high school is only a minor factor in a team's success is simply not true.
Top rated recruit whose dad isn’t an assistant coach. My bad. Lol.
He didn’t sign. He’s listening to other schools. He’s opened up his recruitment. Purdue backed away well before he committed to Indinia.
All accounts? You’re geeking out over kids you've never seen play beyond highlight videos designed to sway non football people like you. Those are the only accounts you know about.

Funny how you argue with anyone presenting facts you dont like.
Please tell me what WR would honestly pick Indinia over Purdue? Whop got drafted by who, again? How's Fryfogle looking to NFL scouts?
Omar Cooper and DJ Moore were not recruited by Purdue long before they committed to Indinia. There are recruits Indinia got that Purdue also wanted (Josh Sales for one), those 2 were no longer in that group.
Yes, yes, yes, especially since he announced that the coaching savant and primo architect of those great offensive lines will be remaining on staff and joining the highly in demand O coordinator and the fully half a new team at Indinia next Fall. There’s a reason they were one of the very worst P5 programs last year and easily the worst B10 team. Dumpster diving for recruits may feel good today but, when the losses start piling up again next Fall and the endless crying about realignping divisions only elicits derisive laughter from the rest of the conference, Indinia fans will brag about their lame tailgating and concrete and birdshit stadium and how great their basketball banners look. Unfortunately, OSU will host Indinia next year, so the 20,000+ fans they bring won’t perk up your revenues. Looks like more salary givebacks or bake sales and cakewalks are next for the RevCoach LEO.
Funny how that significantly worse group of recruits kicked IUs ass all over the field this year...
Best answer I can give is possibly moving some players from defense or TE into the OL. I thought Purdue's OL in 2020 was not very good but this year much better. How did that happen ?
It was reported Purdue backed off him well before he committed to Indiana. They offered him after his sophomore year and took his only visit in the spring to Purdue right when covid hit and he was very interested. Then he tore his acl that fall and Purdue backed off.
So he didn’t sign when everyone else did? He’s free to sign anywhere? How that is not open?
his numbers his senior year were inferior to his red hot sophomore year and even junior year before he tore his acl. Purdue’s not recruiting him and I’d be shocked if notre dame would take him.
