Predict the next Commit
- Thread starter StateStreet123
- Start date
Too easy...lol
Too bad you couldn't take "the field" as there will probably be a commit from a guy that no mention has been made about him and Purdue
It is nice, but if LSU offers we stand no chance. Watching their commitment list hoping they fill up quick.
Ole Miss will be tough to beat too just because of the co-eds
He has said that if LSU offers, he is going there. Purdue is a good fit for him and us, but we shall see.
Purdue appears to be going some big names. Four very notable names are George Moore, Justin Harris, Mykelti Williams, and Russ Yeast. Landing those four would bump them into the top half. Realistically if they land 2-4 this late in the game that would be down right impressive. Yeast is a longshot. After his visit with Purdue he tweeted about the visit. Within 2 hours he retweeted about himself about the Louisville visit he had a few days prior. He also picked up an Oklahoma offer recently. Harris is only an offer away from going to LSU. I haven't hear anything further on Moore, but people on the board here seem to think he will stay on the West Coast. Williams is the most likely of the four. Harris is probably the most important because of his size and our need on the defensive line for people that can play right away. Moore is slightly behind Harris because of his size and ability to start immediately on the offensive line. With Brohm I feel we have a chance to steal one away, but it sure would be nice to have all four of those players.
The key is that while others have said no way should we even have hope or even try, Brohm has refused to accept no as an answer! Rather than waiting until next year and seeing how things go, he wants and expects immediate improvements. He is a win now type of coach. Fleck is much the same way at Minn. In recruiting Yeast, rather than settling and going after Louisville's left overs, he's going after their best.

I'll go with Dante Johnson to be different. It is possible Palomares and Williams sign up as well. Would be nice to lock in at least two commitments over the weekend. There are also a pie of JUCO WRs visiting, but they should be low on the priority, especially if we are going all in on Yeast.
The juco WRs are a priority and will take two if they can get both of them. No experience returning and can't count on all freshmen. May be two freshmen at most and I'd pick Hayes and Edwards of those. It's best to redshirt as many as possible so juco players would allow for that.
I'd also like to change mine to Williams as McDougle is coming next weekend, just recently noticed that, still want McDougle though.
I understand wanting to redshirt one or two receivers, but add Yeast and that would still give us three guys that could come in and start day 1 even if we redshirt 2 players. We have much greater needs and I would rather have Yeast than any of the JUCO WRs. Not saying we get him, but signing a JUCO kills any chance of signing Yeast.
Lot's of waffling going on now amongst the predictors. But I completely understand as we all want to put our best foot forward in such a prestigious competition. The latest and greatest updates are below:

Because of recent events with about 10,000 WR coming this weekend, I am changing my stock option to the safe bet. I now Predict Palomares. He had said about a month ago, he would wait until his visit to commit. I have no doubt, we'll sign 1-2 WR, but it might take until Monday to get Commitment. And bullwhip has VIP status, so I'll go with his pick. Safe and sure. Or maybe........
I tried to commit... But they said they were all full up on old fat guys.
Looking forward to the next few weeks on who commits. Nice to read about potential recruits and inside info some have.
I think I will be committed waiting for the names to be announced. Upon my official visit this weekend, I met a guy at a Purdue sports shop who claimed to be a VIP poster and after I told him my name, refused to tell me his posting name.
Um... he just copied me! Nobody else was even talking about him until I brought him up and guessed him first! It was my second guess after my first one went up in flames, but still!
Chicken dinners for all!!! We have more winners! I'm thinking the next few days may produce a couple more....

Heiner: Nick Holt *winner winner* 2nd place
StickPurdue & ChuckJr: *winners* 3rd place
Hey StateStreet can we make a new thread for week 2 of visits? This ones getting long?
I'm sticking with Anthony Palamores
Agree. I'll try and throw something out there later this week.
But in the meantime.....
We have our three winners! Enjoy the chicken dinners. Everyone else.....thanks for playing and here is a nice participation trophy!
I demand a recount. Mykelti Williams has silently committed, the posted results are not accurate.

Due to the serious allegations and after consulting the voluminous rule book, the judges have asked Bo Boroski to review the results. He vehemently states that the call stands. No changes to the results, sorry Boilers800!
