I'm not saying he's going to opt out, but I think him opting out under the circumstance I laid out is a lot more probable than him sticking around for a 4th year. If I'm a top 10-15 pick and playing on a bad team and have even the slightest injury, I'm taking a long, hard look at the possibility of getting healthy for the draft.
Strickland Committing Thursday
- Thread starter Hoosierfan1901
- Start date
Which out? The one where both teams had covid problems and mutually came to a decision not to play?
Guess I'm not seeing a shitshow so much as discussion about Purdue and iu football.
Mullen’s family operates numerous business ventures in Bloomington and has a long history of IU graduates?
Purdue fans were crowing when they got Karlaftis and Bell and have gone 6-12 with them.
This thread derailed a bit. Would be funny to see him commit to Stanford to stun us both
It seemed to be between Purdue and Stanford for a while. IU players and commits have been leaning on him hard, though, and he had a solid visit. IU might be a real possibility. Although at the end of the day I think he ends up at Purdue. Tough to overcome the family connections.
Purdue was very fortunate that the game was cancelled...twice.
Why? I'm not here to predict rivalries. I thought iu was going to roll two years ago in a game Purdue should have probably won. Never know what happens. Also don't know who would have been playing for either team.
Hell they were 7-14 in games Rondale played in his career. 0-3 last year and 1-3 the year prior before getting hurt.
As the trenches start to catch up, that will hopefully improve. Missing out on the quick fix trench guys in year 3 really hurt.
I actually thought Purdue was much more balanced without Rondale, as if throwing the ball behind the LOS 20 times (like in the Nebraska game) was a poor game plan. Felt like Brohm was obligated to get Rondale the ball for the sake of getting Rondale the ball too many times last year.
Those guys kind of took off after he left. I think he only coached 3 of the guys who were in the dline rotation.
Not sure where you get Hagen as a second coming type savior. He recruited one 4 star to IU, Beau Robbins, who has shown absolutely nothing in two years. Maybe Strickland goes to PU, but thinking Hagen is a great recruiter or a great coach is a questionable assumption based on facts. The D-line under Hagen at IU was most definitely not a strong part of the IU defenses he helped coach. But maybe he'll help Brohmbardi achieve his dream of a 6-6 season.
Weird that brohms dream season in your eyes is 6-6.
It's hard to say who all he was a part of recruiting. We will find out. He targeted 2 DE's for Purdue as the top 2 and got the first one, I guy that looks to have potential in Nic Caraway. Hagen made a lot of DLman money for Purdue under Tiller. That's why I think he's really good.
Dream season because he hasn't gotten there (won at least half of the games played) the last two seasons. Since I don't remember Hagen's defensive linemen at Purdue under Tiller, please refresh me who were the recruits/productive linemen he had 13+ years ago.
Nic Carraway didn't have even one other power five offer. This is Hagen's great recruit? Maybe, but but we'll see. I am guessing every single recruit PU gets is a great one according to you.
No P5 offers based on a rivals page? Doubt that's totally accurate. But na, I'm actually basing the fact that he got an invite to and accepted to play in the all American bowl after having great camps this summer on his potential as a really good recruit.
I pulled this from the Purdue website under his bio. "Purdue's defense saw 18 members selected in the National Football League Draft over the years – including first-round picks Ryan Kerrigan (2011) and Anthony Spencer (2007), second-round selections Kawann Short (2013), Mike Neal (2010) and Bernard Pollard (2006) and third-round draftees Alex Magee (2009), Cliff Avril (2008), Stuart Schweigert (2004), Gilbert Gardner (2004) and Landon Johnson (2004)."
Okay seriously who are the admins on here that keep muting me every time I post something even slightly negative about Purdue, this is getting ridiculous. I can't say that I would like to keep a forum topic about what the forum is captioned without getting blocked.
Admins, yall are pathetic, stop muting me every time some stupid purdue fan reports me for hurting their feelings.

I expect it. Not trying to prove anything. Just discussion really. I don't see the problem in it as I'm not attacking anyone or any program and there is literally nothing else to talk about big ten football wise right now. Oh, I did throw in a prediction, but like everyone else, no one knows.
It's fun to see opposing views and discuss it because it helps keep us level headed towards our own program.
Yes, it’s a weird time, thought it was a typo, but nope, he is doing it early morning.
With that, I think something will leak tonight due to how early the commitment is
Wow...as of 6:00 pm, I'm seeing nothing either way. They are keeping it close to the vest.
He’s got things to do. Has to get this commitment business out of the way and get on with his busy day. For the record, think it will be PU. Hope I’m wrong.
Unfortunately I think it will be PU as well. One element that does give me hope, with all his family ties, why would you delay making the decision and allow the suspense?
I hope we get him. It would drive a nail through the hearts or Purdue fans. If they even have one?
I think no one knows. But lots of positives towards IU side. But, PU’s side is very strong too. Still hoping for a leak, but he has kept it so tight
The Twitter stuff goes both ways. Thats what's crazy. I have no idea where he goes.
Strickland is not committing at 6am but is actually committing at high noon EST.
Well, he just posted a couple things on social media that ain't good: he wants to study Engineering, & he's looking forward to playing against Notre Dame. If those are true, which they ust be, it ain't gonna' be us. Unless he's just messing.
