Well, if it is a Gilbert tree, it falls in UK's forest I guess.If it's National Signing Day and a tree falls in the forest, does it matter?
And Brohm was doing all he could to divert some of our recruits to him. Thanks Jeff!As I said there were many athletes who were still available and made up their minds in the last 72 hours!
You do realize that our coach did the same with Illinois, correct? It’s part of the deal.And Brohm was doing all he could to divert some of our recruits to him. Thanks Jeff!
How did he do the same thing? He wasn't head coach at Illinois. Stop making excuses for the way that Brohm hosed us. Brohm left at the best possible time for himself and Louisville. He left Purdue and in extension Walters will very little time to recruit.You do realize that our coach did the same with Illinois, correct? It’s part of the deal.
I’ll say it one last time! There were hundreds of recruits still undecided and flipping last week! Walters had his entire staff in place. Surely he knew who was still available! And if he didn’t, woe is us for the next 4 years.How did he do the same thing? He wasn't head coach at Illinois. Stop making excuses for the way that Brohm hosed us.

LMAO! Not buying the fact that he wasn't a head coach? Give me a break! Everyone had a cow that we didn't hire an established coach, including you. He had to earn his credibility and he had almost no time to recruit. Now you claim he had the same chance anyone else did? I thought you knew something about sports?And I’m not buying the excuse of him being an assistant coach, because we could have hire an existing head coach but decided not to. Walters is our head coach regardless of what his previous position was! If he can or can not do the job we’ll find out soon enough.
And I’m not buying the excuse we haven’t even played a game yet. Successful teams are built in January.
I guess I was supposed to get all excited we signed a 3 star te today
Just because someone hasn't signed in the last week does NOT MEAN they haven't made up their mind.And I’m not buying the excuse of him being an assistant coach, because we could have hire an existing head coach but decided not to.

keep calling people names, that's what you do best. You obviously did not comprehend the point of my post or very few of my previous ones either.Man you're a dip$hit. That "3 star TE" had offers from multiple P5 programs, including Louisville and even IOWA(both of whom were still recruiting him through today). If you don't understand that it takes time to develop relationships in recruiting there's nobody here who can help you. The two indiana high school linemen that iowa got this year? Why would you want them? After all they're both below your oft-stated minimum of 300 pounds and at least one(likely both) will redshirt.
I’m not looking to pick a fight, but look at what happened in the LSU game. Purdue has a lot of players that need to be recruited over. Yes I realize the coaching staff was gutted. However this roster needs a lot of work and it was amazing at least to me they won the west with that roster. It was truly a credit to those overachieving players and a great job by the previous coaching staff.Walters brought in linemen with college ready bodies.
Our recruit’s received tons of power 5 offers. Schools our recruiting class received offers from include Miami, Tennessee, West Virginia, Illinois, Minnesota, Auburn, Cincinnati, Georgia, Mississippi State, LSU, Louisville, Kentucky, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Michigan, Iowa, Michigan State, etc.
The relationship you build with a hs player and a transfer are completely different due to a completely different recruiting timeline.
Coach Prime is a household name, with an ESPN 24/7 hype loop playing.
The QB who chose Arizona State is going to the college that his father played for, which he considered his dream school to play for growing up.
Purdue will likely never have the NIL resources that many schools have. Why? How much have you contributed to Purdue’s NIL collectives?
Purdue signed some good football players that fill holes in the new coaches scheme in the transfer portal.
I'm not giving to NIL because I don't get anything. This is a business relationship with NIL. Better be sending signed jerseys and practice shorts or whatever. Why should I enrich some bs t-shirt company selling 35 dollar t-shirts?Walters brought in linemen with college ready bodies.

I haven’t given anything to NIL either. I wasn’t trying to imply that anyone should feel obligated to either. I was more asking that rhetorically to get the point across to wolegib that the Purdue fan base can’t realistically expect to compete with some schools when it comes to NIL. I’m guessing that we will see fewer and fewer of the astronomical offers that have been thrown around as the dust settles. At the end of the day the big NIL deals will just persuade a kid to choose Alabama over Georgia or whatever which would’ve been the schools they chose between anyways.I'm not giving to NIL because I don't get anything.

I wasn't suggesting anything other than the current NIL store is pretty lame. They sell overpriced generic tshirts and the students only get a few bucks and the store makes the money. I'm not interested in that. Rather give 500 bucks to a student and get signed "play hard" shorts or something cool.I haven’t given anything to NIL either.

That would be cool. I wonder if players would be able to sell their own game worn jerseys or something like that?I wasn't suggesting anything other than the current NIL store is pretty lame.

I asked on here and got crickets, but I would pay.That would be cool. I wonder if players would be able to sell their own game worn jerseys or something like that?
Or UCLA over Purdue....I haven’t given anything to NIL either. I wasn’t trying to imply that anyone should feel obligated to either.

I mean. It’s gonna happen. We’re not going to win every recruiting battle whether it’s high school, transfer, or retaining players on the roster. I’m not going to get upset a kid goes elsewhere or leave. It is what it is. Next man up.Or UCLA over Purdue....
Fine with me. Getting tired of arguing that Purdue can’t realistically recruit like OSU and MichiganNow without W----- to stir up sh!t, it's really quiet here.
