Any updates on who is defecting from Illinois?
I think he'd like to bring Aaron Henry with him. It'll be questionable whether he can make that happen without digging too deep into the salary pool...Brohm brought existing players and recruiting commits.

they have a commit Antwon Hayden a 4 star LB 6'3 230, I'd like to see him on the team, always need good LB's our's have been underwhelmingI think he'd like to bring Aaron Henry with him. It'll be questionable whether he can make that happen without digging too deep into the salary pool...
There are not that many great recruits at Illinois that are gonna move the needle. But maybe he can grab some good depth from the secondary and LB positions if they start hitting the portal.
That will be the sign of what's to come. If he doesn't bring anyone I think that doesn't bode well for us.
You can see Brohm having no issue flipping recruits and coaches.
Hold on a second, Brohm was the head coach both at WKU and Purdue. Walters was a coordinator at Illinois. Walters might be able to persuade some assistants/players/recruits to come to Purdue, but it doesn't seem reasonable to expect he'll have the same level of influence that the head coach has.Brohm brought about 10-12 players from WKU that were either recruits or players. Hazell brought none.
It will be an obvious indication and measuring stick for his future success!
To be successful at Purdue your head coach needs to be a recruiter!
Because of how many players and coaches Walters can bring from his former team?Then we should have hired a head coach
Good point but from the defensive prospects I'd be hoping he can pull some.Hold on a second, Brohm was the head coach both at WKU and Purdue. Walters was a coordinator at Illinois.

Absolutely.Good point but from the defensive prospects I'd be hoping he can pull some.
I can't see him having much success with his lack of experience. The Illini are pretty good, so why would anyone worth their salt want to follow a rookie. He better get a great offensive guru who can recruit.Hold on a second, Brohm was the head coach both at WKU and Purdue. Walters was a coordinator at Illinois.

I’m guessing he connects with the players better than Mount Bielema.I can't see him having much success with his lack of experience. The Illini are pretty good, so why would anyone worth their salt want to follow a rookie. He better get a great offensive guru who can recruit.
As long as we are 3*, some 4’s, and a 5 sprinkled in every so often we are far better than hazell and on par with brohm. Awesome coming from illinois because their recruits are similar to what we can get. Wont be sitting there saying,”this is what we did at ohio state, why isnt this working?”I’m guessing he connects with the players better than Mount Bielema.
It would most likely be players/recruits who had a particular relationship with Walters--or, maybe just players/recruits who look at Purdue's roster/incoming class and see potential playing time. We'll have to wait and see.I can't see him having much success with his lack of experience. The Illini are pretty good, so why would anyone worth their salt want to follow a rookie.

Have we had a 5* this millennium? Was GK originally considered one?As long as we are 3*, some 4’s, and a 5 sprinkled in every so often we are far better than hazell and on par with brohm.

GK was a 4 star when we originally started recruiting him. I believe he earned his 5th star after he committed.
We often talk about the assistant coaches as being the best recruiters, and a lot of head coaches just sit back an allow their assistants to do all the work bringing in players. This is what they do at OSU and that was the philosophy hazell had.
brohm was different. Brohm was a more active recruiter than any of his assistants.
I would believe at illinois, Waters was probably a more effective recruiter than Biliemia. One would expect he should be able to flip a couple of the players he coached, or was recruiting.
I think Iowa let us have a crazy guy who ended up in jail for beating woman with a hammer. And there was a wide receiver who was underwhelming but had a couple of big games including 240 yds or so against ND.Have we had a 5* this millennium? Was GK originally considered one?
Oh, yeah, Kyle "Bone Crusher" Williams and Selwyn Lymon. That's going back a ways. Lymon had a few moments, at least.I think Iowa let us have a crazy guy who ended up in jail for beating woman with a hammer. And there was a wide receiver who was underwhelming but had a couple of big games including 240 yds or so against ND.
He was an assistant coach. Likely won’t bring a single person. I don’t expect him to and it’s a sign of nothing at all either way. SmhThat will be the sign of what's to come. If he doesn't bring anyone I think that doesn't bode well for us.

well we didn't accept it.Then we should have hired a head coach
Speaking of which, Iowa has a WR in the portal right now. Caught 19 passes for 187 yards and a TD this year. Didn't actually look it up, but I assume that makes him the leading reciever on the team.I think Iowa let us have a crazy guy who ended up in jail for beating woman with a hammer.

Definitely worth looking into his childhood connections to our quarterbacks.Speaking of which, Iowa has a WR in the portal right now. Caught 19 passes for 187 yards and a TD this year. Didn't actually look it up, but I assume that makes him the leading reciever on the team.
I'll say Calvin Smith 6'4 230 WDE 3 star from Fla.Brohm brought existing players and recruiting commits.

We can’t afford five stars now. Even O$U is getting outbid.Have we had a 5* this millennium? Was GK originally considered one?
go awayPart of the requirement in hiring him should have been his ability to recruit! If he can’t do that, then there was a fatal flaw as part of the interview process
are there no experienced head coaches that have proven themselves that would come to PU? We have no idea if he can get qualified assistants yet.Part of the requirement in hiring him should have been his ability to recruit!

Obviously you are unaware of the nightmarish Hazell recruiting stories where he did in fact go out and recruit...........GK was a 4 star when we originally started recruiting him. I believe he earned his 5th star after he committed.

Excellent point. How many guys did Lambert take? Or Nick Holt? I’m sure we will get some of the guys to come with but I’m not expecting a mass exodus.Hold on a second, Brohm was the head coach both at WKU and Purdue. Walters was a coordinator at Illinois.

Yep a good signWalters already has made an offer and was in Indy meeting coaches. I think he is starting well.
Haters trying to blow smoke up your *ss.That will be the sign of what's to come. If he doesn't bring anyone I think that doesn't bode well for us.

This is a really good sign!Yep a good sign
