Coach Nowlin

Its pointless exercise in December of 2019 to predict 2020 wins. I have stated multiple times that with the offensive firepower they have back they will be many games in the 4th quarter, maybe all of them. you Know what many "pundits" said the same thing in year 1 and 2 in regardless of Purdue...... Show me 6 wins ......... blah blah blah.

I believe in player development and off season development that Purdue has in place at their facility and also the staff who tend to these facilities and programs. I have been through the facility 2 times now, seen how they have completely did a make over on how they operate day to day both in season and off season. I believe they will make jumps Offensive Line consistency I believe they will make jumps in DL production and Defensive Back assignment consistency and scheme. I do believe LB position is very scarce at this time heading into offseason. No doubt. I believe these things because I have seen it in action up close and in person, to go along with my fandom, I have mixed the two parts, coach and fan to see how they have changed the culture in West Lafayette and believe that will continue to lead to more success, but I also understand that the team is very much more improved offensively then defensively right now. Getting Neal BACK IN SHAPE and on the field helps inside A LOT Another year to get Karlaftis built into his frame, it is remarkable already how much his body has changed already in a year, a lot more leaner and thick from his HS days. I like the bodies of Freshman Jalen Grahmn and we didn't get to see much of Marvin Grant due to injuries as well, but he will be a RS Freshman next year. Cory Trice also as a RS Sophomore had some nice skills at Corner. I liken it to some high school teams that play young guys, but very talented guys, but play them young which leads to better outcomes in the future. Having all these guys get many reps could be very beneficial starting as soon as 2020. I know I have stated it before, but I will again: If all is healthy heading into week 1 vs Nebraska, their Defense will be hard pressed to keep Boilers off the scoreboard with the lineup they will send out there at all skill spots.

why not 2020?

You know that was the commentary coming out from Hobart as well until Coach Osika seemed to get the ship righted.

I strongly disagree As stated by the current 2020 recruiting class he still has verbal after the 4-8 season. I believe Purdue is on track to be consistent 8-9 win teams each year moving forward and on special years get into double digits wins and berth in B10 Title game 1 poor year playing mostly Freshman and Sophomores and all of sudden his value had plummeted. Interesting

I have ZERO problems with that Why do you care being a clear Purdue Non Supporter? If you do not believe in path of Brohm led Purdue teams, then you should rejoice the money spent. You do understand that extension was 100% connected to keeping him from going to Louisville correct?

Not throwing rocks: Just asking food for thought on what your IU fanbase thinks of the current schedule and schedule in the future. ME personally, I love the challenge of playing Power5 teams, granted they are not powerhouses, for instance Oregon State, unless drastic change is not feared team, but playing VT in a Home and Home series is great, so is getting ND on the schedule. Purdue wants to be a recognizable institution in the B10 football and national landscape, they have made that known with investments in Facilities, HC, assistant Coach contracts and many other to work their way into the deep water if you will. I like that, will it work, time will tell, I believe Purdue is on their way to that deep water.

Coach Holt has been relieved of his duties of Defensive Cordinators Around the Purdue water cooler, lots of issues with landing recruits and Coach Brohm and him disconnect on how he wants his defense ran, Coach Brohm wants more aggressive style all over the field, but that was the case a many key moments this year, ESPECIALLY on 3rd down.

Yes, Dave Sharpe, who left LaPorte to be closer to Indy to work on his foundation with his wife and be an assistant coach down in Indy area. https://jacobsharpefoundation.org/

BINGO !!! WE HAVE A WINNER So many folks who have zero to connection to the family want to determine choices they made. Interesting to say the least

It is very tough to follow such a legend in Coach Sharpe, but I will say that Coach Mike Campbell did very well following the footsteps of Coach Sharpe. Cheers to you Coach Campbell

Indy Star typically announces as the title sponsor of the award the Week of Christmas.

Purdue had hopes for this JUCO, chose Maryland instead https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/johari-branch-255279

Just saw IU got Dylan Powell, OL who originally committed to Hazel's Boilers, went to Stanford, then transferred out now to IU: I believe 2 years left to play.

LB on campus this past weekend: With hiring of Lane Kiffin, not sure if they can officially flip him or not https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/daylen-gill-234423 This guy coming in this weekend https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/damarcus-mitchell-255247

does not surprise me to see these guys in the Portal: TE Darius Pittman, Jr. WR Noah Ellison, So. CB Tyler Hamilton, So. G/DT Alex Criddle, Sr. WR Jordan Bonner, RSFr. LB Ja’Qurius Smith, RSFr. DL Giovanni Reviere. So.

Alabama did the same last year as well or 2 years ago I guess

No doubt there pal!!! I thought in all honestly, when they moved the walk on Center Garvin in at Center, the OL started to come together and you saw RUN game improve: I thought Nebraska, NW and IU were good running games towards the end of the year. I think the goal for PU run game should be anything over 4 yards a carry and that will continue to loosen up the defense

UT Martin has the inside track

Boilers have 4 guys, 3 stars as seen here verbal for Boilers: However, only one of that list that I could see getting on the field 1st is Zionsville's Hartwig: The rest will need to develop it seems. https://247sports.com/player/gus-hartwig-46041714/ https://247sports.com/player/jared-bycznski-46052072/ https://247sports.com/player/josh-kaltenberger-46080403/ https://247sports.com/player/nalin-fox-46085614/ Trying to snag these 2 guys yet in this cycle: QB: https://247sports.com/player/malik-hornsby-46037405/ Word on the street is between Ducks and Boilers OT: https://247sports.com/player/courtland-ford-87847/ Word on the street is between Rowing Boats or Boilers Here is a link to everyone they have extended offers to: https://247sports.com/college/purdue/Season/2020-Football/Offers/ Got his much leaner teammate from 2019 class in Tippman up in land of Bucky.

I really think it will be hard to defend Purdue next year: The question will be can they get enough stops. You saw a walk on come in and light up teams ( I thought he looked better than Plummer from simple aspect that he got the ball out on time with some zip but does have mobility concerns) without their All American Slot WR. You add Rondale on the same formation with David Bell, capable TE (Durham, 2 RS Frosh they will have) and Combo of Milton Wright, Amad Anderson, TJ Shelfield, ole reliable Jackson Anthrop, newest 4 star WR incoming in Malik Carr and a capable run game with King Duruane, Horvath, incoming RB Murphy. That is really tough for defenses to figure out how to stop. Maybe they do turn into a B12 type team as DT said, win them 56-48 baby!!!

I was doing an English lesson here in the lab and wanted to show the difference of poor grammar and how it changes the conversation!!

Love to see PU get this big guy
