Purdue picked to win Big Ten

[Poprudy]

We are starting to see the “brand” doesn’t have that much pull, even if NIL donors can bring $$$ to the table. Rumor is IU had the highest offer to Reibe, but he still went to UConn. Rumors of exact same thing goin to happen with Mullins.

This was exactly my point in our earlier discussion. NIL money can only bring so many recruits to the table.

If you lack any success, culture or development of players. They will find what avenue fits their own agenda and sometimes it's just not about the money. We can only speculate but there are reasons why kids choose other programs vs getting the big pay-day.

Right but the IU fan base insists that their “brand” and NIL will be able to attract the highest of recruits and…it’s not. You can say well look at their transfer portal guys..and yeah money is the number 1 factor that got them to IU—nothing wrong with that since that’s what is todays world with college sports, but to still say the IU brand is thought of highly by recruits and transfers is…something 😂

75 offers from 2023-2025 and 5 commits. Only 2 in 2024-2025 out of 60+ offers.
Purdue had 32 offers and 7 commits over that time. (6 in 2024-2025),
Not sure the “lure” is there.

I think Woodson lives by the strategy from a one Michael Scott - “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”

So why not just offer everyone?!! Eventually someone will say yes…right….RIGHT??!?

Wayne Gretzky said it first.

This is from the IU board.

“Mgbako is a better outside shooter than anyone on Purdue's roster.”

Just thought we all needed a good laugh today.

Yes. That’s the joke lol.

Michael crosses out Gretzkys name and then writes his in.

Ahhh so this is this year’s “X is the better PG than Smith” and “Cupps is going to be better than Smith”.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Similar to woody’s recruiting strategy, the more you times you true, eventually you’ll be right 😂 😂
