We got our QB for 2018!

[KentuckyBoiler]

We got commitment #2 for 2018, and our QB for the class.

Welcome Mr. Plummer! We got a commitment from a state that we have not received a HS commitment in sometime, Arizona.

Nice offer list and good size. Hudl highlights have him playing spread already too

Kid looks really agile, strong, and accurate on film. Cradle of QBs!

Wondering.....Jake Plummer was a graduate of ASU and spent a longtime with the Card's-any relation or connection?

No connection

 

[ChuckJr]

He's related to the Teague's

I would think any high school quarterback would love to play for coach brohm

 

[Wolegib]

This is what I'm about. Rather than talking about the player, my comments are about the process and road to success. Your head coach holds his summer camp, and you get attendees to commit within the week. That's how successful teams do business. The majority of your commitments commit immediately following a visit - such as a Summer camp. And he attended our camp and committed. Now hopefully our first two commitments can help recruit their friends. I'd love to build a pipeline and start tapping the Chicago area talent. And Arizona? That's some new recruiting ground for Purdue. if he's coming from that far, he must really like Purdue.

I agree 100%....Rob Henry was Purdues biggest recruiter after he committed. Ever offered player he was tweeting them about Purdue. Hopefully one or both of the early commits do that too

Just a question not bashing the pick up. I tried looking up his high school record and stats real quick at work and I believe the one I found had his high school team at 1-9 anyone with more info on his stats and record for his Junior year at high school?

that's true it was a 1-9 team but if you read some of the clippings from Arizona papers they have him rated the 4th best QB in the state whose stats improved since the previous year, they say he may be overlooked to the teams record but his attributes are a strong arm, accuracy, and escapability. They also believe his recruitment may blow up after this upcoming year. Happy we got this kid and hopefully will hold onto him too. Judging by the film clips, I like him better than the QB mentioned earlier in the year from the DC area.

 

[KentuckyBoiler]

With both Jeff and Brian playing in the NFL and being big time college QBs, I think we can trust their judgment on QB skills, especially for their system.

Looking at those film clips, his OL was pretty lame and his cited "escapability" was sorely needed. He may be the perfect QB for Purdue!

Yea I'm a little concerned about the record given a couple of previous high rated QB's that played for terrible HS teams we've had in the past that didn't do much better at Purdue, but given the Brohms' resume, I'll trust their vision.

Only one of them was highly rated

 

[Wolegib]

the key factor to look at is what led to the losses. There have been a lot of great QBs with a cannon for an arm that throw into a crowd, or cannot read defenses, or make critical errors at the wrong time in games. there at lot of QBs that are great from the 20 to the 20, but can't score. there was a QB at texas tech about 10-20 years ago who had a tremendous arm, but was not accurate He was a first round pick based on his talent and potential. And then there were guys like Brady and Montana. great QBs with average arms. Sometimes, you can correct mistakes, but sometimes you can't. As a Packers fan, I loved Jay Cutler as much as Favre. Jay was 0-11 or something like that against green bay. Jay was a great QB, just not against green bay.

As players go, our local high school has a 4* TE who has received a multitude of power 5 offers, and our team is a mediocre 2/3 level team. he accepted an offer to Arkansas.

Yep, I agree. We once recruited the # 1 QB in the nation, Jeff George. Good size, local kid, great arm. If he only had a brain.

still have N. Sipe who I think is talented.

VERY talented. There's a reason Coach Brohm held onto him. So now we have two West Coast QB's headed to Purdue. Pretty cool!

 

[Wolegib]

Maybe we'll employ the "West Coast" offense !

They need a "love" option on here.

I mean Etling played meaningful time for LSU. I wouldn't say he was a bust. For us yes but i dont hold that against him

He got knocked to the ground so much his freshman year that it became a mental thing for him. It wasn't his fault.
