Graham, but I am 0 of 22 so far this year, so we will see if my luck changes for the next commitment announcement.

Who is left on our board?
Graham
Bell
Robinson
Weaver
Wright

Anyone else?

Sounds like Purdue is in good shape with Wright and Graham - I'll say 80% on both; 50% chance with Bell; 20% chance with Weaver; and 10% chance with Robinson. Is this how everyone sees it? I'd be very happy with this class adding Wright and Graham. Thrilled to add Bell or Weaver to those two. And ecstatic to add Robinson.

Looks good! Another candidate is Cam Williams. OLB Mikel Jones is a longshot. Might be an either/or.

There were a couple other OL but I think Kyle clears them up. Within 48 hours Boateng switched to 5 new crystal balls for Maryland, Kyle commits to PU, and our other offer Joacheim Price commits to Western Michigan.

The Williams recruitment has been odd. He seems to fill a need Purdue has but it’s been real quiet with him. I’ve read he’s possibly holding out for more offers and that there might be an issue with grades. Who knows???

Right. A few things that are known right now: it is reported he will be at the game tomorrow night, and he has commented he thinks he will wait to commit until signing day or even a senior bowl. He wants to be an athletic training major and said part of the wait is to ensure he gets that figured out with his new school. Purdue is transitioning this program and it is very competitive to get in or advance past your freshman year. Speculating that could be the "grades" issue? They are showing PU/IU as top 2 on recruiting services.

Smiley committed to Virginia and is 1000% committed. He is supposed to be on visit for the OSU game. If he comes to the OSU game still, we shall see if that stands true. The atmosphere should be lit and if Purdue can show it can compete against the big boys. You want recruits at that game.

Jakai Clark, decommit from Auburn, a big physical Center. He hasn’t received and offer but a couple of the Purdue coaches started following him. Possible he snags an offer. With the recent OL commitment, I am not sure if they take another OL, but if this dude wants to be a Boiler you find a way.

There are some others listed as warm but that’s all the big ones I think.

Hey, I actually got one right. It only took me 23 times. I guess I should play the Powerball tonight.

There may be a couple of lesser recruits (by the coaching staff, not us) that decommit if bigger guys want to commit.

The train is pretty full and there isn’t a lot of wiggle room. Everybody currently committed earned a scholarship. There aren’t many that Brohm would be recruiting over and asked to decomit in my mind. Several things factor into that though. Academics, injury, and of course performing to expectations. Most of the attrition will likely come from the current roster. The most likely additions left are Bell and Wright. Winning out could probably steal some momentum away from Kentucky for Weaver and Robinson, but that seems less than likely at this point. Check back tomorrow.

This week I would really like to see a loss for Kentucky and a huge win over OSU for Purdue. Need that attention grabbing signature win. The line has gone down to 12 so Purdue is the sexy pick to bet on right now. The over is right at 69 points. That’s a pretty safe bet if you ask me. You could pair it with Purdue and the points and have a nice day if they pull it off.

This is the perfect game for Purdue this weekend. Tyler Trent is going to be on gameday (get your tissues ready. That preview was chopping onions and it wasn’t the whole thing), Cancer Sucks will be the kickoff cheer and is getting national attention, and it’s a late game national attention against the number two team in the nation. If that doesn’t get you going, you have no pulse. Maybe it gains the attention of somebody currently committed elsewhere. I don’t really expect many surprises though, because I was guessing Purdue would take 25 and we are almost there. Especially if Purdue lands Bell and Wright.

Nice writeup, Stick. I do appreciate it, and cancer does suck... big time.
