Apparently he really struggled with a lot of the defensive concepts that Painter wants out of his guys. Wasn’t an issue with his offense.

Completely fair. We heard different things on our end but no worries. Will be interesting to see how the rest of his recruitment plays out.

Permanent ban? Never. Have had a few suspensions but never a full-on ban.

It’s a moot point now but there was talk that Xavier and Purdue were at the top of his list. One of the rivals guys switched his pick from Purdue to IU after Furst committed. Purdue felt confident in their chances to land Kaufman before Furst committed.

I think there’s a good chance you guys will get him. Before we got Furst, I think Kaufman was leaning Purdue but the dynamics have changed.

That’s fair. Will be interesting to see what he does.

Don’t think that’s true at all. If I had to pick a place he’d choose if it wasn’t Purdue, I’d go with Stanford.

Why is it highly doubtful?

Don’t think anything is imminent. He’s really high on Purdue but don’t think he’s ready to decide yet. But yeah that’d take us out of the Kaufman recruitment unfortunately.

Purdue in football this year? We won 6 games last year (not a historically good season) and got blasted in the bowl game, then proceeded to lose a significant number of our best players to injury. Don’t think that’s comparable at all to NW/Nebraska. Not even close really. Congrats on the season. 8 wins is 8 wins.

Oh I was just referring to this decade alone. Hope won 4 games, 7, and then 6. Then Hazell went 1, 3, 2, and 3 lol. Then Brohm has gone 7, 6, and 4. So basically averaging 4 wins a year over the decade.

After 9-39 over 4 years, I can live with 17-21.

Bell and Karlaftis has pretty good seasons for our 4* guys. And I highly doubt Bell is regretting anything. 3rd most receiving yards in the conference and a near lock for freshman All-American honors.

Agree 100%

ROI isn’t great but it’s been a year that was mostly out of his control. If we win 4 games next year with a healthy roster, that’ll be time to sound the alarm.

I’m surprised you only had 6 more wins than us when we had the worst 4-year stretch in our history. Would’ve guessed more.

Salty? Lol. I congratulated you guys on the win.

Assuming both teams are relatively healthy, it should be a good game.

I gave you credit lol. You guys won the game and had a good season.

That’s one game lol. What about the rest of them?

True but even a season to work with it doesn’t change the fact that you’re missing an All-American WR, an all-conference LB, or an all-conference DT.

Heck of a game, congrats on the win.

The injury situations aren’t comparable. You guys had some injuries but overall, it didn’t compare to Purdue’s. Congrats on the win.

I know they’re not exclusive to Purdue. Just sucks when it feels like our injured guys seem to be all of our best players you know? Moore, Sindelar, Bailey, and Neal to be particular.

Honestly, getting healthy is of absolute necessity this year. Not going to a bowl game sucks but we have to get our guys healthy again. In my 20 years following Purdue, can’t remember a year where so many were lost due to injury. Hopefully next year we avoid the serious injury bug.
