Klare to OSU

Good for him, hope he enjoys winning lots of games. He won’t put up the numbers he did and could have even improved here, but he will win games.
 
Word out of OSU is they are going to have a lot of NIL money to spend and decided to spend the vast majority of it on their football program rather than their other sports.

On the plays side, Purdue’s divers will make more than OSU’s divers.

It’s not how much NIL a school has to spend but how they plan to spend it.

Bummer to see but guess I can’t blame him. Will take Cincinnati kids all day every day. Tough SOBs on the football field. Especially from the GCL.
 
I'll be interested to see what kind of numbers he puts up and how long OSU puts up with subpar blocking.
I’m skeptical that he can have a season at OSU to match either of his at Purdue numbers wise. I think he’s looking at a marginal role there, and his production is cut in half from what he’s had here. He better get to bulking up and embrace blocking or he’ll be in the portal again looking for a team to use him as a pass catcher.

If it was because of a much better NIL money, can’t blame him. If it was about jumping to a winning program only, good riddance. If OSU gets eliminated in the CFP this year and loses to Michigan again next year their Coach and AD will be feeling unbelievable heat!
 
I can’t see him being a starter at OSU. I can see him receiving more money. It looks to me more like he jumped off a sinking ship and into a winning team. I believe he wanted OSU more than they really wanted him.
 
Just curious. How did the guy who went to Oklahoma do this year? Did any of the receivers who left last year do anything this year?
 
What sucks is OSU didn’t recruit him, from what info I looked at, the guy develops and does well and here comes OSU with some big bucks and there goes Purdue’s best receiver! Guess most schools are just talent shows for the Schools with the money

Yeap and every day I get closer and closer to just being done with college sports.
 
I’m sure he’s being well compensated.
He goes to a blue blood, has a shot at the playoffs, gets to play in front of 100k people.
I wish he’d stayed but he’s doing what’s in his best interests.

You're thinking of Burks. Hurt probably half the year. A lot of catches for short yardage looking at his stats. I want to say he had around 235 yards receiving on the year. Looks like he had a good first game against Temple(?) and that was about it.

Hard to say what he would have done had he not got injured. OK's offense sucked last year. He announced he was coming back to OK for his senior year.

Why do you believe those things?

Why would OSU throw a big NIL check at him to put him on their practice squad?

The ship already sank, and we're rebuilding it. He left because of money and opportunity.
 
I believe these things because I have inside sources at OSU. OSU has their starting TE returning. Those sources are saying they see Klare as a nice experienced backup. .

And contrary to all you people have said, nobody at OSU is mentioning he is being paid some huge NIL contract to play for OSU. Maybe he’s not getting more money and he just wanted to bail and go to a winning team.

He kept Mockabee
Like Mock but there’s an opportunity to sign a starting RB for next year.
Find a 2nd string guy out of the SEC who’d start at most programs and make him the focus of your offense.
Get Mock 8-10 touches and use in the passing game, but need another guy to get 15-20 touches who has home run abilities.

You rail on this every time you can but you’re dead ass wrong.
 
It’s a Spread offense. It’s not like the running game will be a focus (“yes” I know what Odom said about line play but you don’t get the OC he did if you’re serious about that). Bottom line is that we need RBs, especially for the future…
