Local Attention to detail

[PU52Chevy]

Love Brohm's approach to approaching all the local talent in IN, IL, KY, OH and MI.

Smart on his behalf to keep the local kids home and build a winner.

It gets tickets sold if the parents and families can come watch their kids play.

Boiler up and I wish him and his staff the best!

Touche! Spot on...........throw in maybe a GA or a FL recruit to round it But 80% should be in our back yard so to speak..........

its not where the recruits come from that's important, it's recruits that want to play for Purdue and have the ability to make a difference.

Not if you want to be any good.

I disagree.....if you can get local kids just as good as kids far away then better to get the local kids and get butts in the seats to sell out games and generate revenue.

Winning is number one but filling the stands is number two.....both important.

Just easier for family to travel if kid is playing near by......

IMO...Boiler Up

 

[ChuckJr]

I didn't say don't take local kids. If local kids have talent and want to be at Purdue, they should be a priority.

Ya......RIGHT NAT............there is no local talent in the Midwest!!! May as well give up now.

Nothing like going to the opposite extreme while failing to make a decent point.

Tiller went south for talent. A lot.

Iu builds its teams on local talent. How's that working?

You can be good. But it's just about impossible to build consistent champions, at least in football, in this state. Now, an all-Indiana basketball D1 team of the top talent? I think they could give the established BB programs a run for their money.

 

[SunnyFL24]

Verdict is still out since they took in a very good class by taking a lot of talent from Indy last year

Last time I checked they have beat us 4 years in a row..........6 kids from the sate out of 23 recruits hardly justifies getting all their talent in state...if you would have actually read the original post Negative Nancy.......there is a hell of a lot of talent in the five states mentioned above! And establishing relationships with these schools in the Midwest, goes a hell of a long way in recruiting good kids. What college was that you coach for again?

Weak take. You can get some talent from the Midwest, but tell me the last good Purdue team that didn't have a lot of players from Texas and Florida

80% Midwest? Do you follow Purdue?

Sure do Nancy............evidently you don't.......most of your posts are just bit%^^ and complaining........

Nancy? Just admit you are out of your element and I'll stop.

The only way I see this working is if we get all the best talent out of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, and especially Ohio and that just ain't happening when you're battling with Ohio state, Michigan, Norte dame, Michigan state and the SEC for those same recruits. Tiller hit Texas hard for a reason and got what he could from the Midwest.
I think Brohm is going to try and get the best talent he can from the three hour radius he has mentioned, but he is going to pull just as much or more from Florida, GA, Texas, and other states in the south.

IU football lol

 

[pboiler18]

Nat, the mix is 50/50. Take a look at the talent we've put in the NFL over the past 20 years. Lots of Indiana kids on that list.

 

[FirstDownB]

I want CJB to get a lot of the local/regional talent and establish a presence because it should make it easier to recruit highly talented players from this region in the future. I couldn't care less about recruiting local kids to sell a few extra tickets. Winning will take care of that.

 

[SunnyFL24]

We should be pulling in 6-8 really good players from our own state............another 6-8 from the region and 4-5 skilled position players from the South. Impressed with this staff so far...........think they will get the job done!

Sure there are, but concentrating in the Midwest where you have a smaller pool of talent and are fighting from behind is not a wise strategy. We are never going to get the prime players in Indiana for an extended time. Nd, osu and Michigan take who they want.

 

[Pboiler]

Anyone know if he is trying to recruit out of Asia or Australia

This is TIC based on a thread about our lack of recruiting basketball from said areas.

We do? I see a ton of guys from Florida on the IU roster. And we're actually going to bowls and competing with OSU and UM, so...

You've lost 4 in a row.

 

[ossim]

And you own the most losses of any division 1 football program historically.

 

[EastCoastBoiler]

40-72. Shut up and sit down.

 

[OldStyle1902]

We lost 4 in a row because our former AD made one of the the worst hires in big ten history and Kevin Wilson took advantage. Even Danny hope was 3-1 vs IU.

With the dismissal of the best coach in your program's history, you'll soon be back to getting blasted from the opening kickoff once again. Don't forget that you're also an automatic win for Penn State too.

Mallory was their best coach

 

[tigerchump]

Now lets not forget Bo McMillan.He was the last IU football coach to leave Gloomington with a career winning record.Of course,his last year at IU was 1947,when Truman was President.There cant be many football fans alive who can say they remember when he coached the Hoosiers.

Yes,and Hopes teams did beat OSU twice and Michigan once.IU has topped the Buckeyes twice since 1951 and the Wolverines only one time since 1967.
