Not totally true. MP offered my son at his elite camp going into my son sophomore year and from that point on MP and brandon Brantley darn near call me everyday mostly brandon. So the assistant do call the recruits they sometimes get the ball rolling and than the ball is than passed on to the head man in charge.
Want to be clear brandon is a big reason my son is here at purdue he did his job and did it well to convince me and my son this was the place for him to be. Matt painter did. Both were very active in recruiting my son.
As noted by Eastern's mom here and as been mentioned before, this is not necessarily accurate. What you "heard" is nothing more than just rambling falsehoods it appears.
Well we have word for word from someone that went through the actual process that counters that.
Maybe CMP didn't mean this was their total recruiting approach, but simply their approach to the very high profile guys which would make sense for the Head Coach to be the lead on. I'm not looking for another argument thread, so this will be the last I have to say on the subject. I was simply passing interesting information from inside the TJD recruiting process. Boiler Up.

I love that quote and will use it on my closings at work. Previous quotes I've used ...
The blessing of teaching Critical Thinking .... there are many great quotes about opinions based on no thinking .... I love this quote because I am passionate about people being true to themselves --I love that quote and will use it on my closings at work. Previous quotes I've used ...
"You will never influence the world by trying to be like it."
and then one I used for a VERY long time a Mencken quote that I stole from Martin Kozloff (University of North Carolina Wilmington distinguished professor). Applies to some and not others, but accurate for more than I wish...
"Most pedagogues...are simply dull persons who have found it easy to get along by dancing to whatever tune happens to be lined out. At this dancing they have trained themselves to swallow any imaginable fad or folly, and always with enthusiasm. The schools reek with this puerile nonsense. Their programs of study sound like the fantastic inventions of comedians gone insane. The teaching of the elements is abandoned for a dreadful mass of useless fol-de-rols... Or examine a dozen or so of the dissertations...turned out by candidates for the doctorate at any eminent penitentiary for pedagogues, say Teachers College, Columbia. What you will find is a state of mind that will shock you. It is so feeble that it is scarcely a state of mind at all. (From "The war on intelligence," December 31, 1928, published in A second Mencken chrestomathy. Vintage, 1994.)"
...and so this isn't a recent problem...
I hope you're not suggesting that Nojel was not high profile. Because he was, and is.
Beat me to it.
Eastern was a top 50-60 ranked player during the majority of the time Purdue was recruiting him, AFTER the offer. Which is higher than where TJD was ranked when he was offered. Your guy may have misheard him?
He wasn't rated as highly as Eastern at the time of the offer, so I am guessing your guy maybe took it out of context, since we have Eastern's mom saying that's not how it worked in their case.
I have no reason to think that you're anything but a Boiler fan but I really don't see the point of your posts that seemingly demean the explanation of the mother of a player or diminish the "value" of recruits if they are being handled differently than what you have been "told".
Exactly right. What he has is nothing more than hearsay while we have a parent here posting the exact opposite. I'll take someone with first hand knowledge over what is nothing more than a rumor any day.
To his credit Tynd indicated that he/she didn't intend anything to be demeaning to the player and deleted his/her comments on the subject... that was the background of my Kudos comment...
