No commits?
- Thread starter oraclee#22
- Start date
Saw we caught David Bell's eye. Along with recruits for 2020 and 2021.
We should be OK. Didn't get a feel from Wondale on how he thought the night went.

Last night produced an entire class worth of commits over the next 2-3 years
I believe the problem with no commits is that unlike the hazel l and hope years where we would recruit during the season, the players who attended the game were either 2020 commits or ones who had already committed to us. We did have a lot of players there. But guys like King and Graham committed before they arrived. And it appears Purdue is holding their remaining scholarships for guys like Williams, Bell, Wright, Robinson and Weaver who have all said they will make their decisions and announcements later.
I have confidence if king and graham hadn't already committed, they would have committed last night.
Something that is very significant. Despite our slow start, Purdue has zero (0) de-commitments. and that's very significant when thinking many other schools are probably drooling over some of our recruits and trying their best to pry them away. unlike the past, our elite recruits are remaining loyal and not jumping ship like they did in the past. Purdue is no longer a stepping stone or waiting area until a recruit gets a better offer. We have become that better offer.

They have very few people they would take a commitment from for the 19 class. And the people they would aren’t Justin siller or chevin Davis or Zach Logan. They all have elite options or at least very good options.
If my son were a 2020 recruit I wouldn’t want him committing anywhere right now off of one game. I’m betting they are getting calls, texts, tweets and answers from people they never were before .. and that’s good enough for me.
haven't been impressed w/ their LB's and secondary all year too. For a program like them to have LB's like they do is very surprising.
Doubtful, but hope I’m wrong. Brian has been saying for months there are academic hurdles that would keep Purdue from taking him. Certainly would be nice if those have been cleared up.

I think last nights team was better than 2000 OSU. I think 2002 OSU Beats last nights team easily
I wish I had been there... I would have committed!
