  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome, Brother Maker fans to the Central Indiana Sports for this week's Purdue report with Jake Dunn.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake the Purdue report is our weekly discussion on produce sports wherever we want to take it and we typically take it to football and basketball those have been the two topics that I think all so far all Purdue reports have been but that doesn't necessarily mean it always will be there will be things that we'll be talking about that are not
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: basketball and football related, but we're not going to lie to everybody and say that's not going to be 95% of our coverage So let's start with some football and Purdue is two in one through three games and as we said on Saturday after the game or so our Sunday morning after the game I think they've there's three for three in passing tests I would say so.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we were at a lot kind of to be proud of them to be optimistic about after the U.S.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: C game
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: USC is a decent team, they're now ranked in the eight people.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know that doesn't mean you're good, but at least other people think that they're good enough to be ranked.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, like, they're a decent team in the big tin.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, past that test, past, you know, the testing you do with Ball State and I say, you and it's good to see some fight in the team again.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think there's a lot of turnover with the staff and players from last year.
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, there's not
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no players really saw how little of a fight there was last year, but the fans do.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's really refreshing as a fan to kind of see that fight and the team again, you know, when you're looking back at the last year.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, what a good thing to be optimistic about and yeah, seven that are opportunity here on Saturday against Notre Dame too, really kind of show that.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think USC is just not very good.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: I have a feeling that they win this week, they go to four, no, they're fanfare, and then they lose the Illinois Michigan Notre Dame and Nebraska back to back to back to back to back to back to back.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just a feeling.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that, they're what could be, they could get a really good offense, but I think the defense leaves, I want to be decided there.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: So, every good pass in the game, I'm not sure about the running game.
• 3:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was pretty good against you, too.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure it will be very good against good teams.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: with Lincoln Riley every year.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It seems like this record gets worse at USC.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's definitely definitely has a lot to prove to have interesting to see how that plays out.
• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it's not the USC report, but I also want to say that Jacobi Lane, the receiver kind of reminds me of another former Trojan Michael Pippman, who's now his wife.
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: He is awfully good, but not super impressed by USC.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: because produce upcoming schedules also very difficult.
• 4:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it starts at Notre Dame on Saturday.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: And unfortunately, Jake, I think they're going to get a very angry Irish team.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: You factor that in with the just overall physical, I guess, a damage that Notre Dame has with USC.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Those guys were to pick her in stronger than a lot of produce guys.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to get, it's going to be the same story here with Notre Dame, who would be the same story with Illinois.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of the teams could pick 10.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: comes down to fight.
• 4:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's three game stretch, feeding ball set and SIU and hanging in there with USC.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he gives you a little more optimism as you look ahead.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's really good.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: That October stretch, you know, when you get the Minnesota's, the Northwestern's, the records, I think those go from, I could see pretty well in this to really, now it might be a little more of a coin flip in terms of, because you don't win that game.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: And as we discussed on the IU report yesterday, everybody go listen to it.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It was amazing.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: My console in Grand Shows are a great team.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: We don't think Illinois is good as the national media seems to think so.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: We've watched them play not overly impressive.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Purdue always plays them well.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: In my lifetime I UL and I and Northwestern are the only programs that Purdue year to year could look forward to being on the same level with.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So it's kind of hard to take them seriously and I don't know maybe Purdue can hang and be competitive and foreigner.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think any of us know yet.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Talk to you up before so far I've been pretty happy with with how the season's gone or even if we, you know, don't you wouldn't be talking this way if we hadn't been happy.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think I think this is all a good sign on very out of that we're actually talking about these things.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even if we don't upset in the lawyer upset I you if we can just when when a couple more I guess Northwestern or Rutgers been so I'd be pretty
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk a little basketball because that's going to be our want most of the time I believe as much as we like Purdue football.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm obsessed with Purdue basketball.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've been since I was a little kid since Joe Barrick Carroll led the boiler makers of the Final Four and 1980, beating IU and Kentucky on the way.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just want to point that out.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: I know it was a long time ago and nobody cares, but that's my favorite run of all time.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: And this looks like a team that's going to be a lot of fun to talk about.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I want to talk about a young man named Trake Offman Rand who I covered in high school.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, going back to 7th grade, we used to cover the local middle school championships as well.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: And going back to 7th grade, everybody in Southern Indiana, even when they were in 7th and 8th grade, knew who Trake Offman Rand and Cooper Jacobi were.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I've known about him since 7th grade and I enjoyed covering him in high school and
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: all those state championships.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I never imagined he could be this good in college.
• 7:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: He has blown me away, Brandon Brantley.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is there ever been a better big man coach in the history of college basketball?
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's hard to stack up against that's for sure.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Purdue Scott, Purdue's kind of made itself into a big man, you for, I guess, kind of more traditional, a big man, like, you
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, got my Zacos, you know, Matt, Matt Horms, you know, Jack, you know, obviously, yeah, Joanne Johnson, you could argue it sort of with him too.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I've driven a Williams to throw them in there.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: It makes you excited for, you know, Daniel Jacobsen and Oscar Cluff, any other big man that'll be coming in future years, actually pretty excited for them to see the progress.
• 7:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they can make, I think it really speaks to produce staff of being able to develop guys like,
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jackie D who was the 200 40th or whatever ranks player in the class in Smith who before he got offered by a big by Purdue had you know offers from the Mac and you know like Wyoming you know teams like that or Texas, you know, can I kind of smaller smaller teams, so I think it's a lot to that thing.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely so you can go really it's long to.
• 8:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly so.
• 8:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I know a phrase that's kind of gone viral is the, I'm a trust paint, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna trust Matt Painter.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I'm fully, fully in that camp.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, I want to say, I've never, and I had some issues, sometimes with Painter or something when he first started.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: But now, when I question him,
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I assume I'm wrong because as every time I question him, he turns out to be right and he is so good at this.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: I've never had a coach of one of my favorite teams in my life that I just don't even question anymore.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the same way, so I think, you know, Purdue is also had a kind of a knack of people that they've been chasing and recruitment that I've been paying doubt and that's led to guys like Braden Smith and guys like Zack Evie, do you think?
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Carson Edmont.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 9:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so yeah, it's just kind of kind of funny how always things work out for Purdue in the end.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: It makes it wonder if if somebody likes DJ Walker or whoever had come to Purdue and gotten coached by this coaching staff, was he have been Carson Edwards instead?
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: Is it because they chose Purdue and this coaching staff that that they become these guys or did they just happen to get the right guys?
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a million-dollar question.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm at Pain and we get to pay the big bucks.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, do you think Ryan Klein is a huge success anywhere else?
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be hard pressed to say, yes, I don't think.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think he's not an exceptional athlete.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a good fighter.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's a perfect painter player.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yep.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: He fits in the system very well.
• 10:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I don't know if he goes somewhere else.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: just a query had a Purdue.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Back to Trake Hoffman, Ren.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Just an exceptional junior year.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Trake Hoffman, Ren coming back for a senior year.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: His fifth year at Purdue was first team all big ten, third team all American last year.
• 10:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: And like I said, I covered him in high school.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I was excited about him going to Purdue and being a contributor.
• 10:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: I could never thought he was going to be a star.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: And just credit to him, in basketball, I always say basketball, golf and tennis are the three real repetition sports.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: You have to play every day or you're just not going to compete with the people who are.
• 11:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it's obvious the trade coffin ran is in the gym every single day.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got a great work ethic and I applaud him to for not transferring.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: We know after he had to sit behind Zach E. D for a year or two.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's definitely way too easy now to transfer and college sports in any side of adversity, somebody can pull in.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I applaud him for trusting the process, trusting the coaching staff and not taking that easy door out.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's paid off well for him.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's an inline to be a first team all American this year,
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, you can argue produce the front runner to win the national championship this year.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's paid out.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: His patience is paid out for him as well as a lot of other guys on the team.
• 11:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: And the same, the same can be said for Jack Binter as well.
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: I remember when the story came out, the Trake Offman Renn was redshirting and Matt Payner said, yeah, he just completely bought in.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Painter said here's the plan and trade-confident was like, hey, let's go do it.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he's just that kind of kid.
• 12:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think, uh, fun fact, my, my freshman college roommate was extra from sellersburg.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I, uh, I got a connection.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, but, uh,
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it speaks a lot about Purdue in the program and to build that, you know, you could get a guy like Trake Hoffman who would rather register at Purdue than go to like an IU or somewhere else and play right away potentially, so I think it speaks a lot about the coach's staff and the program.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you and I'll be back first thing Friday morning to preview Purdue Notre Dame with Eric and Ryan Robinson are Notre Dame guys and look forward to doing that.
• 13:04
