Eric Miller in portal
- Thread starter BCfanatic2020
- Start date
Wondering if another school contacted him with some better NIL money. Wasn’t Miller mentioned in an article about how he was in a lot better shape physically for this season? Was thinking he was supposed to be starting this year
No.. Walters told Purdue fandom that they thought wrong. What happened was, Miller got evaluated by someone who wasn’t Dale Williams or your average Purdue fan. He’s not leaving cause he’s “so good that the big dollars came for him” lol
I mean I’m sure he’s a great guy but it’s pretty hard to believe he abruptly left because, like Spencer Holstege, he found his destination.
I certainly don’t think he lost his spot as in if it was 2011.. but I do think the staff just thought they could bring in better.
Again, do I know? No. But it seems very oddly timed
The transfer portal is a wild wild world! Just goes to show you no starting spot is guaranteed. Assuming he didn’t like what coach had to say in his exit interview.
247 already has a crystal ball prediction to Louisville. It’s possible he gets NIL money out of it, but I think this is more to do with wanting to finish his last season with a coach and system he’s familiar with. Which is likely smart move assuming he wants to play at the next level.
This is similar to threads on the basketball board, except some people don't think Purdue can upgrade our guard position in the portal for fear of upsetting a current player. I think Walters is basically saying "All positions are open for upgrade"
I just never thought Miller was any good. But Dale Williams wasn’t and brohm basically only demanded excellence out of some spots.
People wanted to bag on cam Allen for being there and for not being stu schweigert.. meantime brohms staff couldn’t recruit free safeties to save their life. Their DB recruiting produced a bunch of guys you never heard of, trice, Allen, kane and I guess Marvin grant .. in 5 years.
People probably think Sulaiman Kpaka and prince Boyd will be out there in the fall. Honestly I doubt it. If Ben Kreul and Ryan Brandt are still here come the fall it will be because they suddenly were able to make an impact on the field
Thought Boyd was decent, but yeah if we can upgrade that works.
Oh I don’t think he’s bad at all but is he gonna play when you have Brevard, Nichols, harkless, Lewis, langham, mba and probably more? No. Kpaka way way no.
He probably does. I think he was just told that they don’t foresee him retaining a starting job when they get done bringing players in
You never want to see a guy with experience leave, especially on the OL where you need depth, but as said earlier, if the staff is trying to upgrade across the OL and there was writing on the wall, he's probably looking for a place where he's likely to start day 1.
Much easier to upgrade at 1 of 22 spots on a middling football team than 1 of 5 spots on a top 15 basketball team.
Just like Newman, if Morton and Gillis were cut, you wouldn’t see them at glamour destinations. Not playing any major role
I don’t disagree with the premise but all were top 100 guys at one point. Gillis slipped with his injury. Morton seems to have regressed offensively or just played in a very bad high school league.
Honestly I like the effort of both, but particularly with Morton, I don’t know how a Pennsylvania mr basketball can shoot so poorly. If he was just good on wide open shots he’d be a pretty good starter to be honest.
