Question on freshman class
- Thread starter gbmhoosier
- Start date
Finishing class at Norte Dame led to late arrival. Not sure of exact timing but should not be an issue, except he needs to learn the playbook in a mad dash.
a
all of our guys made it. Unfortunately we lost TJ Simmons and Camion Patrick to career ending injuries and lot Nile Sykes for the year due to injury.
Ok, we'll take him too. It was just a gross misunderstanding by Hazell. Hazell just didn't know talent when he saw it.
And Jacob Robinson lol. Those were the 3 guys that absolutely should be at Purdue. Beery might be the worst. His whole family is pro-Purdue, his dad played TE for us, and his high school coach played at Purdue. He was literally gift-wrapped for Purdue and we blew it.
Cole Kmet is the worst IMO. (Though an ND commit not IU)
4 star TE in Chicago suburbs, dad AND uncle (Jeff Zgonina) both played at Purdue (and the NFL) and mom ( zgonina's sister) is Purdue grad also.
Everyone in the country offered.
Except the Haze.
Dumb question: Is there an NCAA rule that prohibits a transfer from learning the playbook prior to arriving on campus? Or is this more of a logistical problem (i.e., needing to be instructed live in-person)
I would think it would depend on who gave him the playbook. my thoughts are many athletes practice together or play basketball together on their own and in pick-up games. and official practices can only be so long, but some players virtually live in the weight room, or practice room or film room.
I would think it would be Ok if an athlete shared the reading of a playbook. it may not be OK if a coach gave him one.
although, I would believe it would be ok if a coach gave him the playbook after he signed, much like a coach cannot talk about a recruit until after they sign. But after they sign, they are officially part of the team.
I just keep reading about how he has this great potential but is behind the curve because he hasn't learned the playbook. I have no idea how long it takes to learn a Brohm playbook. But my first thought is I hope this isn't a major obstacle that could have been avoided with a bit more effort. Perhaps that same extra effort can be better applied now with him on campus, but having extra days/weeks to learn something can't hurt if it's within the rules. Of course my skeptical side hopes this isn't an effort issue, not knowing the whole story of what happened at ND.
my thoughts are with all the other NEW receivers we have, and because of his speed, he would start the season as a wideout, and just run fly patterns and simple slants. and then as he learned the playbook, he may be more incorporated into the rest of the other plays. there are going to be 4 other NEW receivers both juco and freshmen that I expect Brohm is counting on to make huge contributions this year that were not part of our Spring practice. How quickly they learn the playbook and develop a chemistry will determine our early season success.
Our early schedule is rough with games against Mizzoo, Louisville and Michigan. And we're going to be depending on a lot of new people particularly all the jucos Brohm signed to learn fast and be ready. A good omen for the future is if we can off an upset in one of those three games. and the Ohio game is almost a must win. For moral and other purposes, we can't start off the year 0-4. We've got to win at least 1 of those first 4 games. Winning 2 of our first 4 would send a message that we are back, and provide momentum
