Purdue Football Recruiting: It's National Signing Day Open Thread!

PrintSigning day is here, and as part of my contractual obligations to bring massive page views to the network, this will be the center of all news regarding our Purdue Boilermakers. I'll be checking in throughout the day, adding news in the comments and treating this like an Open Thread.
I know the fans have turned against Danny Hope and Gary Nord, but we still are expecting out best recruiting class in several years. According to Rivals, We're rated No. 33 between Rutgers and Colorado. That's close to the top quarter of college football and good enough for fourth in the Big Ten behind Nebraska, Michigan and Ohio State some school that cannot be named because they don't exist this year according to the NCAA. Scout has us rated No. 48 and seventh in the Big Ten.
So sit back, relax, and discuss the incoming recruits. I'll have a final primer later in the day once I get home. This should be a good class with Carlos Carvajal and Ryan Watson as the next players trying to avoid the curse of four stars its highest rated players.

Two recruits already on campus
Greg Latta, a 3-star Defensive End from College of the Desert
Carlos Carvajal, a 4-star tight end that was originally a 2011 commit, then went to prep school

Other NLI's officially in already:
Anthony Brown – 3-star DB
Cameron Posey – 3-star WR
Danny Anthrop – 3-star ATH
Bilal Marshall – 3-star QB
Paul Griggs – 2-star kicker (a.k.a., the Griggy Bank)

Knauf could be an impact player
Looking at his stats and highlights, he’s got absolutely ridiculous speed. Definitely a threat as a slot receiver or kick returner. If he fills out a little, could be a good scat back type running back.
Jordan Woods now on Board

An entirely too soon knee-jerk reaction:
I’m actually starting to get really excited for next year.
To your call once more we rally....
Likewise
I was just about to say the same thing, by sheer size and athleticism alone is enough reason to be excited. Like the direction things are headed.
Why not be excited?
We should celebrate the successes we have. It’s more fun for me to be a Boiler football fan when I am excited about the team.
I usually wait until the spring game to allow any emotion to surface
but maybe that’s more because I try to be 100% entrenched in basketball

He's not forced to go to college for a year.
He’s just can’t go to the NBA for a year after high school. Brandon Jennings found a way around it, and it worked out pretty well for him. Some players need the exposure they get in college that they wouldn’t get overseas, but a player like Rose was going to be a lottery pick no matter where he played for the year between h.s. and NBA.
Fine he has other options.
But the system is set up so that college is the best of them. And at any rate, there’s absolutely no reason he shouldn’t be able to go straight to the NBA. The one-year rule is a joke.

by Boiler Bandsman on Feb 1, 2012 11:16 AM EST up reply actions
College is not proven to be the best option.
It’s simply the road most traveled.
Hell, Enes Kanter didn’t even play last year and he was drafted third overall. Going to Europe to play for a year is an excellent option for these players, the fact that none take it is sad. Similarly sad was Brandon Jennings’ lifestyle when he was a rich 18 year old in one of the world’s greatest cities. It’s more of an indictment of the mindset of people in this country than anything else.

In what way?
Of the NBA’s biggest stars, some went to college multiple years on their own (Wade, Deron Williams), some were 1-and-dones (Melo, Rose, Durant), and some jumped straight from HS (LeBron, Howard, KG). What difference does it make to the NBA?

Well, for one thing, they have an opportunity to evaluate future employees with at least one year in a far more comparable level of competition. Their workforce has to go through a year of training at no cost to them, with, for the most part, world class instruction and facilities. Plus, they get free marketing to a great demographic. Look at how many people went to an NBA game to watch Johnson & Moore sit on the bench?
The NBA saw itself giving millions of dollars to players that it knew very little about as people or as basketball players, and the public knew even less about them. Now, they at least have the opportunity to see these players against more compatible competition, and to see how they react to a structured environment.
There’s no downside to this for the NBA.
by Ray Williams? on Feb 1, 2012 1:45 PM EST up reply actions
Then why has the NBA gone so Euro-happy in the last few drafts?
And Johnson and Moore are not the type of players I’m talking about. College for 3-4 years made sense for them. I’m talking about the +/- half a dozen guys who EVERYONE knows are ready now. Did anyone really think that KG or LeBron needed another year to evaluate?

by Boiler Bandsman on Feb 1, 2012 2:38 PM EST up reply actions
It was all about risk as far as talent evaluation
Easiest place to scout is college, next is Europe, and way way behind that is high school.
Europe is still behind college in terms of scouting but when you start putting in high school kids it becomes a huge mess for the people making multimillion dollar decisions.
Teams wanted some security and breathing room during the draft so they bargained for a 1 year break, basically so they could evaluate people not in a high school setting.
Europeans are professionals, and most compete internationally.
Most of the international guys who are drafted that highly have been playing pro ball for years. Valanciunas has been a pro since 2008. Rubio has been a pro since he was 14 or something ridiculous like that.
Everyone thought KG needed more evaluation. That’s why a player with his ridiculous talent and drive went fifth. He was a pioneer, though. Hard to use him as an example. Four teams wouldn’t have passed on him if he had spent a year in college or a year in Europe. you’re also talking about the one guy every two or three years that is ready now, not the six guys every year.
I was refering to Johnson & Moore in the sense that they have fans for life in a lot of young people with college educations, which is a very important demographic for eveyone but land line telecoms and republicans.
by Ray Williams? on Feb 1, 2012 5:00 PM EST up reply actions
I'm not familiar with Jennings' lifestyle when he was overseas.
I have heard he doesn’t spend a lot now that he is in the NBA. Tries to save a lot of money.
Sat at home with his mom.
Jennings leaves the crib for three things: basketball, food and visiting those famed Italian landmarks—Gucci, Prada and Versace.

I'm getting nervous about Watson
He’s the jewel of the class signing today. Per today’s J&C:
Scout.com’s Allen Trieu and 247sports.com’s Steve Wiltfong agree that the star of Purdue’s 2012 recruiting class is Maryland standout lineman Ryan Watson.
The 6-foot-3, 270-pound Watson, who is expected to play on the defensive line, is the highest-ranked player in the class. He attends Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney, Md.
“To get a player like Ryan Watson from one of the country’s premier powerhouse high school programs is huge,” Wiltfong said. “He’s the jewel of the class.”
Said Trieu: “He’s a really good athlete. Very coordinated and he’s also really aggressive. He’s one of those guys that flips the switch and plays mean on the field.”
BTFU and POTFI!!

Very true. Makes me sad to think about either of them.

Dual-threat usually means good athletes.

Please vote for Rob daily for the Lowe's Senior Class Award
If he doesn’t win that award it is the greatest injustice since OJ walked

We can’t let him lose to Green or Nored.

Wrong sport I know but any news on Draymond Green knee
Being a Boiler and therefore and ACL injury expert, it looked like an ACL to me
I don't think it is an ACL
It looks like the outside of the knee, which is the LCL.
BTFU and POTFI!!
That sucks...
Don’t like to see that happen to anyone. This would hurt MSU alot.
Karma?
For wishing Robbie to re-tear his?
I realize Draymond had no part in that and seems like a good person.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Draymond was very supportive of Robbie when he tore his

So extra sad if it happens to Green too.

That's what I'm afraid of, based on how it looked and how he was struggling to walk/hop.
Wouldn’t wish that horror on anyone, not even Branden Dawson. Or IU. But ESPECIALLY Draymond Green. He’s pure class. He went out of his way to get Rob’s number when he tore his ACL so he could offer some words of encouragement.
Here’s hoping it’s a minor sprain or something that takes minimal rehab.

Agreed.
Green is probably my favorite non-Purdue player. His head for the game is incredible, and I’ve never seen him show anything but class. I forget the game, but I remember seeing him let a missed FT hit the floor late-game (b/c the clock doesn’t start till he touches it) to give MSU an extra second or so to get a last-second shot off. Just a really smart basketball play.

but they never said when.

The way he left Ass Hall last night I will believe it when I see it
he didn’t put any pressure on it and had it wrapped in ice, it didn’t look good to me
To update, it's being reported as a knee strain on ESPN.
He’s listed as day-to-day.

Love that...
Seems like a good leader by the video alone.
Thanks.
That was pretty awesome…except for Trent Dilfer crying.
Super excited for this guy.

Should be able to do a full post later today
Got some real work stuff to do first
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance

EspnU
Somehow has us ranked 10th in the B1G. I was expecting it to be higher listening to you guys.
Rivals has us at 4th
Pretty crazy discrepancy
ESPN's recruiting services are garbage.
They have literally half our class as 2-stars. Rivals, which IMO is the better of the big 2, has us with all of 2 2-stars. Scout has us 8th in the B10, but their difference between 5th and 9th is 8 spots nationally, so we’re essentially tied w/NW, PSU, Neb, and IU.

This
ESPN has good basketball rankings. Their football rankings are terrible.
I've always gone by the philosophy of
scout for basketball, rivals for football and for nothing unless you’re desperate for argument ammo. But I would agree that their basketball rankings seem to be gettiing better.
@BoilerFootball OL Joey Warburg has sent in his NLI. Welcome to #Purdue. #BoilerUp!
Was verballed to Illinois and recently visited Arkansas.
Welcome aboard!
Can’t have too many OLinemen.
Awesome he went to my HS
Trinity just won the ‘HS national championship’ so the kid likes to win. Glad to have him aboard.

To be clear
You didn’t waste your time. I would’ve with nothing to add and with scrolling for each new comment. Looks like recruiting did good.

ESPN Still shows Witty as a Boiler
not sure why
ESPN's recruiting service kind of sucks.
That would be why.
