Interesting re: Hudson

Very interesting. Not sure I've ever heard of a player decommitting during an official.
I commented in another thread. It seems strange he would decommit during an official visit. Most players who decommit do so while at home or at some other school.
Let me get this straight. He made his official this weekend. And in the middle of his visit, he decides to decommit ?
I would speculate he must know of other offensive lineman who are ready to commit. Unlike some, he had some other quality offers.

Yes, I assume that the visit was to see where he fit. Apparently he doesn't. Kudos to this kid for taking the visit and, however it went and whichever side made the decision, handling it very maturely.
Yeah looks like a face to face conversation with the coaches on what's best for everyone.
Hudson's offer list didn't exactly scream that he had a slew of highly ranked schools after his services. Looked MAC/Conference USA-ish to me.
Something happened during conversations with Brohm and staff to make him positive that he would be better off somewhere else. Who knows which party made the decision...
Wish him the best of luck.

He's gone through a lot, as detailed in the Detroit Free Press, so our complete turnover in coaches surely didn't help.
Hate to miss out on a 6-9, 315 lineman.

He will play d-1 football whether at a Mac schoool or elsewhere. I applaud the effort he has made to get to this point, but if brohm doesn't think he fits what he wants, I have no problem with letting him walk
Somewhat reminds me of Biggie and some of his obstacles in life. I wish Hudson well'
Thank you! As most are, wonder if his reason(s) are 1) change of coaching staff 2) was he told he didn't fit into Purdue's plan 3) getting better offers 4) other or all of above?

I haven't seen that info posted, just all speculation. Maybe he is too tall to be a guard or center, and not quick enough to be a tackle in Brohm's offense. Those were just guesses on Knucklehead forum, who knows if all the reasons will be posted.
Loved his story. Glad to see that he was able to turn his life around in HS and become successful.
Odd that the original story on the front page made it sound like he actually came on the official visit. Makes more sense that he didn't come and tweeted out his decommitment instead.

I thought the same thing.
Probably too tall for a DT or NG spot, 6-8,6-9, on the End might work if he has some quicks too him, which at 350, I'm not sure about.
But in the end, he'll do fine in College somewhere and wish him All Good for his career and life!!
I view this as a win win situation. It does appear that Hudson did discuss his future this weekend with Brohm. And it appears as if part of that conversation was where does he fit in to Brohm's plans on offense or defense. And for a guy, who lost 100 pounds to get down to 300 pounds, I would guess he's not very fast. And many have suggested he's too tall to be an effective offensive lineman or defensive tackle.
It appears that rather than bringing in a 3* athlete that doesn't fit a system and will be wasted for 4 years, Brohm has a system in mind and is honest with recruits, and is signing recruits that will fit into his system.

Frankly, if he lost 100 lbs to get down to 300 then I wonder how much flab he still carries around. Yes, 6'9" sounds great but that can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
CJB should take a look at Brett Kitrell 6'4 280 3 star OL who decommitted from Minny a couple of days ago to take Hudson's spot.
