Rondale did the same thing last year.

I think that’s poor taste. I think recruits should be more respectful than that. JMO

Fully agree. I’m not gonna lie, I’d like to have him but it’s classless and I wouldn’t want any Hoosiers pulling this move.

You do realize Romeo did almost the same thing with Vandy. He didn’t pick up the vandy hat like Bell did but he definitely moved his hand towards it before picking up the IU hat. Yes it’s a little different but not that much different imo.

At no point did I worry he was going to vandy 

[LamarCheeks 17,027]

At least he didn't pick up the IU hat before grabbing the Toiletmakers cap.

That wasn’t the point that I was trying to make. I wasn’t concerned about vandy either.

What I was saying I think what you are saying was a perception you had but nothing about his actions made me register any movement towards another school

[Kepner 1,261]

It’s only a matter of time with recruiting that once someone IU is after chooses another school that we as the fan base find someone reason that we didn’t want him after all.

The hat thing is dumb, but these are also 17/18 year old kids. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

Purdue definitely got a good player. Him and Rondale Moore will be a deadly duo

He is overrated, we didn’t want him anyway, and we have someone better at the position coming in. Do I sound enough like a Purdue fan now?

In all seriousness, I don’t blame him for going there. Brohm’s offense airs it out. IU has no offensive identity. We still nabbed three four star instate players in this class, including the top RB who had committed to Ohio State. And we all know Purdue isn’t getting any of the top basketball talent in Indiana.

Purdue rarely has gotten the top talent in the state in basketball.  Not like it was significantly different for Purdue from Crean being there to Archie.

If we get daquan green that’ll help this sting go away a bit

Quite a receiving corp PU will have.

Skilled players want to play for Purdue. They did a great job of showcasing Rondale Moore this year. We did no such thing with our talent the last two years with guys like Simmie Cobbs, Ian Thomas, Nick Westbrook, Donovan Hale, Reese Taylor. This is why this OC hire is so crucial. Have to get a good offensive mind in here because Allen cannot help in that regard.

Bingo. Until we stop tripping over our own feet can’t be surprised by this

The mis-use of Taylor last year still makes me sick

Want to be even sicker? It took someone leaving the program just for him to be listed as a QB. Our genius coaching staff was going to play him at defensive back. Think about that...the kid quarterbacked the most dominant offense in the state his senior year and broke all kinds of records, and we have people running our program that wanted him playing defense. Is it any wonder our program is such a joke annually?

Archie is getting those guys. Crean let them go to the state of Michigan.

Agreed. But they weren’t going to Purdue regardless which was my point.
