Of course you would say that!!! The kid is a STUD, probably one of the very, very best to EVER come out of this state and you figure out a way to diminish him. Now if he were coming to Purdue, he'd be a mythical 6*, wouldn't he.
Sampson James
- Thread starter StickPurdue
- Start date
No he’d be a low 4* or high 3*. You are delusional. You never have explained why James suddenly decommitted from OSU and committed to IU. Very odd decision, especially when James sees IU sitting at home again at the end of the season. OSU might be in the Playoff again.
Nah we are still waiting on your links regarding Mr. James... or are you really too immature to admit you made it up?
James had a very pedestrian game vs Zionsville. Took him 21 carries to get 100 yards and he was not even the team leading rusher. Never found the end zone in the high scoring game. Then the same weekend decommits and
Based on what? He could not get 5 ypg against Zionsville or Westfield how will he do it against big ten teams?

You do realize stats back up the fact that he's had a worse senior year than junior year right? It's not difficult to see that. And it's laughable to claim he's one of the best to EVER come out of the state. It's simple: His junior year numbers were better than his senior year numbers. Is he a good player? Absolutely and I'd love to have him at Purdue. But he's having a worse season this year than last.
Must be IU math, how can Purdue be under 3 with no 3 stars? Or are you picking out the most convenient set of rankings for you. Your logic is illogical you are saying all 3 stars are equal. If you are cherry picking rivals scores why don’t you use their ratings instead of stars? Because Purdue hands down smokes Indiana. Maybe you need to tell all the recruiting sites their rankings are wrong based on td75 math.
The rivals ratings use the top 20 commitments for the overall points and Purdue has 5 2* guys. The star rating uses all of the players committed. Once Purdue finishes the class with some higher ranked players, the 2* guys will drop off and the points will look much better. Make sense?
off the top of my head-
Cameron Williams
Noa Pola-Gates
Kristian Williams
Charles Njoku
Marlin/MJ Devonshire
LOL pathetic ... OK. I did. And here is said thread on the OSU board where Steve Wiltfong, probably the most respected football recruiting analyst in the nation, states, "Ohio State wanted him. I believe they were surprised."
A member of the Bucknuts staff later chimes in, "I can confirm this."
Or maybe you were looking at the other comment from the staff writer there when he said, "Spoke to someone on OSU side who would know and they said they wanted James but it was his choice to go."
Just take the L you pathological liar.

Cam Williams was going to Purdue for months. If Purdue could take him, he’d already be committed. One huge problem - he won’t likely qualify due to grades and test scores. Iowa is having troubles with him on this too. Does IU have a lower standard than other BIG schools?
Pola-Gates is going to Alabama and if not them an Arizona school. Rivals shows him as Low for IU. Nice try.
K Williams has LSU and Tennessee offers. He seems to like Missouri too. I doubt you get him.
Charles Njoku has been committed to Mizzou since July. Again, nice try.
Devonshire has MSU, OSU, and WVU offers. He’s a WVU lean right now. Uh, they’re ranked. He also likes Penn State but they haven’t offered him. You aren’t getting this guy. Sorry, nice try.
The only guy in your list that IU has a decent chance with right now is K Williams. He seems to want to play in SEC country. You’re just blowing smoke.
Historically, Purdue destroys IU. That’s not even up for debate. IU is one of the worst programs all-time in NCAA history. That’s a fact.
At least Purdue knows what winning bowl games feels like - last year. IU hasn’t won a bowl game in 27 effing years - 1991. IU hasn’t had a winning season since 2007. Purdue - last year. IU has won 3 bowl games in 11 tries. Nice. Purdue has won 10 bowl games in 18 tries.
I’d also relish IU’s nearly 200 games below .500 all-time record and 2 conference titles - the last one in in 1967. You must be proud.
Purdue has 12 conference titles and has .520 win percentage all-time.
We’re not OSU but we’re one hell of a lot better than IU.
BTW, head-to-head:
Purdue 72 IU 41 Tie 6. We own IU
Beating IU is something to hang your hat on that is for sure, like ulrey said they both suck.
You must work the second shift at McDonalds to have the time to look up all this useless information, to know all this is kind of creepy on your part.
Thanks but your opinions-stated-as-facts mean literally nothing, as you continue to prove every time your post. The word of pathological liars is worthless.
Your comment on Njoku is just textbook case in point. Oh, you glanced at his profile and have now determined he must not be interested? He gave an interview on 8/30 about lining up a visit to IU. Pola-Gates is taking an official in January.
And on James/OSU, will you admit you were full of BS? Or too immature?
You are honestly an embarrassment to what is an otherwise pretty pleasant board to talk football on. Boiler1987 asked a question. I answered. Some of us are actually here to discuss football and recruiting rather than feed our superiority complex by making up facts.

This probably has zero to do with who is playing with? I have zero idea of who Avon lost last year but it is not uncommon for a teams best player to havea worse year if the talent level around him goes down, especially in football. Look Sampson may not turn out to be anything, but PU would take him in a heartbeat the same as they did Moore when he decommitted. The ignorant bias you guys show over here is unbearable and reinforces what most everyone knows about your fan base.

IU people have trouble with facts and data. When confronted with facts and data they wilt. BTW, IU grads work at McDonalds not Purdue grads. IU grads might actually make shift supervisor at McDonalds.
Pola-Gates will likely commit to Alabama when he visits next month.
Has Njoku actually lined up a visit to IU? No. STFU. 8/30 was before the season started. LMAO
I'm certainly not "wilt"ing at anything, like I said earlier IU and PU both suck both are considered bottom tier D1 programs. BTW good comeback on the McDonald's joke you got me. lol
Oh can you please supersize my order, I'm hungry.
Another good one, you're on a roll you must be jelly.
Get it "roll" "jelly", I crack myself up and you are too easy a target.
Comparing Purdue historically with IU just shows your total lack of understanding. IU ranks with programs like Rutgers and Kansas as the all-time worst in history. IU is damn near 200 games BELOW .500 all-time. Purdue is quite a few games above .500 all-time.
First I never compared IU and PU, saying they both suck is just fact. Comparing would say PU sucks more than IU just so you are aware. Now in my lifetime which spans a few decades PU overall has sucked, not sure the percentages or anything like that (because I don't care) but from a fans perspective they suck.
Hell I live near the Kentucky boarder and if you asked UofL or UK fans about PU they probably had to think long and hard to remember they have a program. Now on to the UofL talk, you guys better hope Bobby P starts winning or it could get interesting for you all in the off season. Now that would definitely let UofL fans know that PU has a program.
I think a big difference between those guys and Purdue’s top remaining targets is the fact that outside of Williams (who is a question mark academically), IU isnt seen as a leader for those guys. Purdue is considered a leader or right near the top for Milton Wright, David Bell, Jalen Graham, and JJ Weaver. Does that mean they’ll land them? Of course not. But the odds are good they’ll land at least a few.
Remember when purdue was getting these recruits and having 8 and 9 Win seasons? Your whole board wrote us off as a middle of the road big ten team.. when we all know if you got to 8 wins and beat us by 49 you’d be acting like you were the super bowl champs and we were an intramural flag team... you know that right
Grammar? Re-read my response. I never said anything about grammar. I was simply attempting to comprehend that word-salad post of yours.
I hope you're not wondering why you've been banned so many times.
That's odd. I heard Urban's first response was, "Sampson who?"
RBs like James are a dime a dozen for OSU.
Lol dude the only starting shit is you. And that’s what it is.. people who like to start shit but who’ve never challenged Brian not subject to rules that others claim exist. There are no rules here. There are towel snapping knucklegaters and then those subject to the rules ...
The mods are really something to be proud of by the way. Some guy is on here spewing hate speech toward gays for 9 hours straight before his threads are taken down
The IU trolls get a luxury here that their pigsty boards don't afford visitors there. If Purdue fans posted crap like IU fans do on here, they'd be banned for life by the fascist moderators on there.
