Leathernecks Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 It seems unusual that an instate guy considering IU and PU has been able to keep things so quiet. I would love for this to go all the way to his announcement with people not knowing. I love following crystal ball predictions, but sometimes not knowing until the guy puts a hat on is refreshing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is strange due to his connections with Purdue, and on that side they don’t know where he is going. Then the Twitter hints from IU recruits, like Dasan too. Watch him stun the in state schools and pick Stanford 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nerve wracking but pretty cool at the same time. Can be frustrating when all of the recruiting guys drop crystal ball picks at the last second and it’s obvious where they’re going. I feel like it’d be better if they had to lock in their picks a week out and not change them haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks on our board were saying it could mean something that the accounts on Twitter that Joe most recent started following are almost all Purdue (Cliff Avril, Kerrigan, Colvin, etc…) but then you have the tweets from Dasan. Who knows really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to leave Twitter off when I watch the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I think we will get an rivals pick for either IU or PU soon, just got an feeling about it Edited July 20, 2021 by Hoosierfan1901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 This kid is one of the bigger in state battles in a long time. David Bell is terrific but we just weren’t in that one. It’s a position where we could really use him. His gut and heart may be tugging toward IU but his family history might be pulling the other way. As for Hagen this is a guy who will go across the street tomorrow if you give him an extra $20k. The number of jobs he’s had is especially bizarre. Strickland should go through his timeline. He is not a loyal guy and can’t keep a job. Poof he’s gone. Beyond that, his track record is poor. He can point to a couple of guys like Kerrigan, but Ryan was going to be what he is regardless of Hagen. How do I know? Because the overwhelming majority of his guys don’t meet expectations. He coached at IU and he totally didn’t distinguish himself. The notion that Hagen is a positive factor is laughable and absurd. He’s a mediocrity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) If Strickland wants to play in a good and fun defensive system for a higher profile program, with better talent around him that will help his profile when he makes plays, as he inevitably will, he will go to IU. If he wants to go to school where the defense will give up chunk yardage and lose a bunch of shootouts in the JV division of the B1G then he can go to Purdue. Enjoy losing 51-43. If he thinks he can change that, good luck with that. You need 11 guys working in concert. Karlaftis couldn’t help Purdue’s Swiss cheese defense from being a sieve. Karlaftis should be a cautionary tale, not a plus. There are guys who are trying to win and there are guys who want to showcase their individual game. I suspect Strickland wants to win and play with his friends at IU. Purdue looks bleak and dismal. As for his mom going to Purdue, the kids in my family didn’t go where my parents went. Not even close. My kids are young but I doubt they go to IU. This is one of the most overrated aspects of selecting a college. You go where you have the better opportunity and to succeed. Here, it is obviously IU. Edited July 20, 2021 by BobSaccamanno 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagen was at Purdue for 10 years last time and helped develop a bunch of guys aside from Kerrigan (Spencer, Short, Neal, Avril, Magee, etc…) He jumped to Texas obviously but then was let go and out of a job. Has he really hopped around more than a lot of others? He’s been at Purdue, IU, Texas, A&M, and Northern Illinois. Doesn’t seem like a ton of stops in 29 years.

At Purdue, the talent Joe Tiller brought in was the real factor. He was at IU for awhile. He hardly developed anybody. Texas and A&M couldn’t wait to get rid of him. He took a quick buck to go down there and was unceremoniously bounced both times. Not much success. Karlaftis was a lucky break. Local kid. That’s like IU recruiting Aaron Steinfeldt.

You’re being disingenuous. Wasn’t he at IU and Purdue twice? There are more job switches than you are trying to brush under the rug. Bottom line, offer him an extra $25K, and he’s getting the Mayflower truck. Loyalty to his job is not on his radar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all been in the last 10 years he has jumped around. At Purdue for a decade then.. 2011 IU 2013 T A&M 2016 IU 2020 Texas 2021 Purdue That is a lot of moving in 10 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
