AG Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I think that Purdue wins 5-7 next year and then takes the leap to 8 wins or more in 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) When Brohm took over, Purdue's fanbase had low expectations and was expecting 6-6 and a bowl bid in year 3 or 4. Brohm and Co took a bunch of transfers and achieved "play 13" in years 1 and 2. Due to that early success, coupled with Brohm's reputation as an offensive genius, he became a hot target for other programs as a candidate. This left AD Bobinski in a tough spot. Should he risk letting Brohm go or show that he backs the football program, unlike previous AD and well known cheapskate Morgan Burke, and pony up a big contract? Brohm got paid. Unfortunately, this led a lot of casual fans, the ones who dont closely follow recruiting and etc, to think that Purdue was going to have a big 8-10 win season and follow a trajectory from 6-6. Even with all of the injuries last season, a total that actually led the entire nation, Brohm was probably looking at another 6-6 type of season. Most of the depth on this team was composed of true and redshirt freshman, due to years of poor recruiting left behind by the Hazell regime. That depth was then forced to start, exposing a bunch of freshman. This also gave a lot of the freshmen valuable playing time. Honestly, next year looks like it's going to be another 6-6 type of season barring this team resembling a MASH unit once again. I'm okay with that, though, after dealing with the Danny Hope years of 6-6 mediocrity, followed by Hazell winning less than a dozen games in 4 years. There is upside, as Rondale Moore and DT Lorenzo Neal Jr. will return from injury and the offensive line should show improvement. This gives Purdue's starting QB, whomever that is, two 1000 yard receivers to target, plus the defense returns their best player. I look forward to 2021 as the year that Purdue takes a giant step, as Purdue currently has only 19 upperclassmen on the entire roster. This includes 11 seniors and 8 juniors.

Coach DeBoer is on a roll. With how the Hoosiers preformed this season, finding a new OC shouldn't be too difficult. Especially, with the talent that is returning. First things first however, need to beat Tennessee in the bowl and get that 9th win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cards rebounded nicely this year to finish second in their division in the ACC at 7-5 and will go to a decent bowl game. While not a fan, I dont like the way Brohm is building this team. Perhaps his vision is more short term than long term. On 12/9/2019 at 11:19 AM, DT said: It just seems like you are making a lot of excuses for his obvious recruiting shortcomings. I expected better results. Given all the hype. Louisville is ahead of Purdue by the way. They seemed to have made the right choice. I have the right to change my "take" after viewing the results on the field. If Purdue goes 6-6 next year, which might be a stretch, Brohm will be 23-27 after 4 years at the helm. In this era of instant gratification, that's not too impressive. As far as Allen was concerned, I had zero expectations. I am pleasantly surprised as an alum and a fan. On 12/9/2019 at 11:33 AM, DT said: I think Illinois might actually be slightly ahead of Purdue. Lovie had a nice season and the Wisky win was huge. Same as PU win over OSU last year And the Illini smacked the Boilers in WL. Illini recruiting is on the strong uptick. That could make life difficult for Brohm After the 1st singing period: https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ Purdue 30th Louisville: 39th IU 50th Illinois 64th Rutgers 67th Maybe a couple difference maker on rankings left to be signed but as it stands right now Big Winner last 4 weeks: Scott Frost and Nebraska: big finish in December leaped them into 20th. I believe that there could be a big 4 star QB out of Texas that could have given Boilers the David Bell, Rondale Moore, big time silent verbal and will do the hat dance live at the US All America game just like Bell and Moore did. Down to Baylor Purdue, Oregon If he jumps with the Boilers, could push them into top 25 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they plugging the other gaping holes? Nebraska has a nice class going. Frost is leveraging his Florida connections. That gives IU more competition in FL.

I really believe they will snag this Hornsby kid too out of Texas. The NW verbal, 4 star WR absolutely looked at Fitz offense vs Brohm and how they develop and throw to WR and flat out made a business decision. If I was a DB, I would look at PU from the simple fact of who you would be competing against in practice daily to get to that level to earn a check on Sundays. I believe I read that Brohm's initial JC/Grad Portal OL and DL targets were all off the board else where, so maybe there will be another wave he has in mind. But yes, that and potential of a Grad Transfer QB is being talked about, but I rather get the kid in Texas. 20 hours ago, itiswhatitis said: According to who? every national recruiting service last 2 years.

Coach Nowlin Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Last 3 years: IU is 18-18 PU is 17-21 with a 1-1 Bowl Record Many would agree that Wilson left Coach Allen a FAR better roster and shape then Hazell left Brohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for certain they did just a few years ago. Maybe the setup of this portal changed them? I would add that IU has been a decent place to find o linemen over the years.

Footballking16 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Would not be shocked to see him declare for the draft, especially after being injured. Reason I’m hearing he’s in the portal is that IU told him he’d be moving to guard. True Freshman Matthew Bedford supplanted him in the line up last year and has NFL talent written all over him. Not sure why Cronk wouldn’t accept the move to OG as that is likely his projected position in the NFL. I highly doubt he’s going to ND or Alabama to play LT. Also, love the hire of Kevin Wright.

He has had elite talent everywhere he has coached in the past 20 years. Winning at a very high level was the only expectation In my view, this is all about Wright's ability to deliver IMG talent to Bloomington Looking forward to watching that play out.

Coach Nowlin Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Do not fret, IU still has Ball St and UCONN to soften the blow from opening up in Madison.
