Walters

Not sure where you’re getting that. Burks pff grade was ridiculously higher than the previous year and he got PAID by Oklahoma. It’s just that the previous year his grade and body of work was a joke. Sheffield got marginally better. Yaseen got better but got hurt.

This year you have a true freshman, an Indy guy with no burst and a Georgia transfer who played very few snaps at a low low grade for Georgia (morrisette). But the OC was fired and I agree .. so what are you on?

It doesn’t mean that that level of player was going to work miracles under creighton

PFF...LOL.

Again, is it exact? No. But what do you think the odds are when you go up 20 on pff you really got worse and you’re actually oj ross

I'm not really sure why you keep bringing up Burks. If Walters and Purdue wanted to keep Burks and pay him, we would've. The fact of the matter is Burks wasn't worth paying. He has a whopping 200 yards at Oklahoma and hasn't done shit against good competition.

You said two years in a row the receivers didn’t get better. They did last year. The year before chuck jones caught everything and everyone else was no good.

And just so we are clear, you cried a lot when brohm was coach too no?

LOL, nobody got better last year. PFF doesn't show Burks leading the Big Ten in dropped passes, does it?

Perhaps we should have given him the 800k
Tom said as much. His conversation with Brian was revealing last Saturday

Brian “like what transfers are actually good”

Tom (looking and sounding like he wants to name a bunch of guys) “pretty much just Reggie love Brian”

Awkward pause

“You know Brian they should have just paid Scourton and Burks their quote.”

But then there a bunch of other guys who wouldn’t be here

Name a transfer player who has made a big impact.....

Almost none. The guys who are going to run alongside Jenkins meet the Oregon state pitchman at the ball and bury him out of bounds for a 4 yard loss cost MONEY. Purdue is recruiting guys who want an opportunity in the portal.

If Jenkins had been somewhere else and ended up here that would have been a lower level guy you actually buy.

People think if Walters is fired this isn’t still going to be a problem under Chris creighton. It is

Broken record.

There are plenty of guys who can cover an option play that don’t cost 500k. It helps if the scheme s put them in the right place to make a play. We currently crash 5-6 in the middle and leave the edges wide open to be exploited. Then expect a FS to run halfway across the field to tackle a guy 15-30 yards down field.

What kind of scheme is that?

You could have the fastest player on the field but in the 5-1-5 we are playing we don’t have anybody even thinking to contain an outside run…none the less the 2 you need to defend the option. That’s not the players. That’s incorrect scheming that’s being exposed and never adjusted to.

lol in reply to a post about how he made a mistake running this scheme this early.

But I never thought Walters was great. Regardless of who the hire was I was going to be in their corner because it’s just not currently a desirable job. Once pay for play ramped up, Purdue was going to be hiring amongst a low low pool until revenue sharing kicked in.

I never thought about Walters the way wole thought about the mad hatter coming here instead of brohm.

Walters has coached like a guy who is on his way to being fired and I can’t figure out if Harrell was actually worse than Diaco and hazell, or just tied.

That still doesn’t mean that a safe hire who was highly likely to be better than Walters, just without the upside, wasn’t going to have big big problems due to brohm not recruiting his last 3 years.

If Walters is fired and the Toledo coach is hired for example… that coach will STILL have problems next year due to brohm. His high school senior class will basically be Devin Mockobee, max Klare and who else? So, pretend we hire a guy you three really like. Brohm will have made it harder on that guy too. Get it?
Sorry. But if we hire a guy that has problems next year because of BROHM then we hired the wrong guy again.

Any idea when you'll quit using that as an excuse? Will you still be singing that in 2028?

Problems because there are going to be two home grown seniors who can play?
 
That’s totally incorrect and a fallacy many Purdue fans but into. If you’re a buyer in the portal, sure. Purdue is not a buyer.

Brian pressed Tom in the simulcast “which one of these transfers is actually good.” Tom admitted pretty much just Reggie love.

Purdue lost Scourton and if Thienemann wasn’t a legacy and didn’t have any particular allegiance to Purdue, I doubt they’d have afforded him.

A really high impact player is going to cost you about 500-750. That will get you a guy at yannis position that would have run down that Oregon state option and dumped the pitch man out of bounds for a 4 yard loss.

Purdue ain’t getting players like that man. They were able to keep 4 of 5.
I’ll offer you a different take and one no other poster has offered.

We know Purdue doesn’t give out much NIL. We know some players left Purdue because they found better financial offers elsewhere. That’s a given.

Two questions. First, could have matched the NIL offer of the player who left? Or did they decide to give that NIL money to someone else? If was someone else, then you can’t be upset. Purdue had a decision to make with limited funds and they chose to spend it on someone else and that player stayed. You should be happy the other player stayed.

My other thought is if Purdue had a winning year last year and was projected to have a winning year this year, the players who left would probably have stayed for less money. Instead what they saw was the titanic sinking. And they jumped off and took the best offer they could find. And now that the titanic is sinking you are not going to find anybody willing to take any amount of money to climb aboard

After this year, you will see a lot more players leaving and more elite recruits decommiting.

With the addition of the 4 power house additions, Purdue will soon become a cellar dweller.

And how will Purdue ever recover? They will have to become like Colorado. And sell their soul to a snake oil salesman like Neon Deion. And he will bring his team and recruits with him.

The question to ask is would Purdue do something like this? And hire someone like Pitino or Calipari or Neon Dione? Or would they keep their ethics and moral standards And accept being a celler dweller?
