If we went 4-0 to begin with, I would be shocked (barring injuries) to not go at least 2-1 against those three, but maybe UNC and Iowa end up being worse than those three as the season goes on, you never know.
Updated with Tyler Bride transferring and Bryce Williams seemingly getting a medical redshirt based on being on the spring roster. This doesn't change the overall number.
I think I will overhaul this post in the spring to split things up by last year of eligibility versus what class they...
Purdue has 40 recruits, almost turning over half the team in a year! Crazy how many recruits some teams are pulling in now that the only requirement is that you are down to 85 scholarships by the fall
Honestly, in a couple of years we may be able to feed live video into these models (as they are starting to incorporate images) and get realtime output. Only takes a bit of fine tuning on top of that for it to start making play calls...
Is this a home run hire? No. Does this hire look positive? Absolutely. Not only does this guy have experience being a DC, but the previous schools fans are upset they are losing him. We are getting a good LB coach and a good lower level DC that wants to prove himself.
Updated with Jaylen Varner commit. We are currently at 85 scholarships if everything sticks. I'd expect to see movement around spring ball and I guess until the transfers are on campus, we can't count on any of them staying.
He needs to get a waiver I believe, but to your point, if he can transfer to a program with a better shot at the 12 team playoffs than Maryland, he could get some money next year and raise his draft stock if he does well.
I saw someone mention the South Dakota State DC in some thread. If he's actually being considered, their last game is on Jan 7th, so he would still be an option as well
Updated with Quindario Lee opening up his recruitment. At this point I wouldn't be shocked to see no movement until at least we hire a DC, maybe even not until close to spring ball.
