Transcript
- 0:05[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to the Purdue Report with Jake Dunn this week.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_00]: We're talking some Purdue basketball in there.
- 0:12[SPEAKER_00]: Exhibition against Yukon, some Purdue football.
- 0:15[SPEAKER_00]: They're upcoming game with Illinois and we'll make our predictions for that.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_00]: And Barry Odomann, his staff signing of Center Grove Star Quarterback, Oscar Sloan and his only on the Central Indian Sports Report.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome, both our maker fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Purdue Report with Jake Dunn and Jake.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: We are a few weeks into the football season and we've decided to do things a little differently going forward.
- 0:46[SPEAKER_00]: Not going to completely focus on the football team anymore and do.
- 0:50[SPEAKER_00]: necessarily previews every week.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_00]: If it's a big game, we will.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_00]: If they win, we'll probably do a reaction.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_00]: Otherwise, we'll combine it into a single Purdue report where we talk some football and basketball.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we're going to do today, Jake, and we're going to start with basketball.
- 1:05[SPEAKER_00]: And the exhibition season just three weeks away.
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: And a game with Yukon, the details are finally set.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, as the calendar flips here into October, we are.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_02]: In the same calendar month, that's college basketball.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_02]: So that's always an exciting time.
- 1:24[SPEAKER_02]: In this week, it was announced that Purdue's exhibition game against UConn will be very new the day Tuesday, October 27th.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_02]: We did not know the location.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_02]: There were a couple different venues thrown out.
- 1:40[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be playing in stores at UConn's.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_02]: Omarina or the but he can son but they're can't get those were the two that I heard but it turns out for the new con will play at people's bank arena in Hartford, Connecticut.
- 1:54[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a 7 p.m. tip off.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_02]: As of now, no television information, but I'm sure that'll come.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_02]: So not exactly a true away game for Purdue, but obviously with a being,
- 2:10[SPEAKER_02]: should be a great, great environment and a great test for this new look, Boyle and MakerTee.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I've been there, Jake.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: I've watched a couple of Purdue games in that arena.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_00]: The Boyle and MakerTee started their tournament run in 2019 there, so I have been to that arena.
- 2:27[SPEAKER_00]: I've used to cover the Boyle and Maker's in a nice place.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_00]: The questions that we're going to be looking at going into there, I think, Inzo Schavern, still not sure if he's going to be eligible for the NCAA.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_00]: And the other was, what's the starting line?
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to look like Jake.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_02]: We are still not clear on whether or not he will be cleared to play.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_02]: I would think that he would be clear to play since Purdue had already signed him for these new rules where we're put into place.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_02]: the NCAA somehow doesn't clear him.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_02]: I would expect him and I would imagine he probably have produced support, but I would mention him to try to file some sort of lawsuit to try to give him eligibility.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_02]: This comes after the big tin put out a statement for basketball for both men's and women's basketball.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_02]: Basically saying that if any player has left for draft, it's played for an NBA team or a G league team or a sort of
- 3:29[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to professional weed like that, that they would no longer be eligible to play in a big-toned conference.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_02]: So, it'd be interesting to see where that line is drawn.
- 3:41[SPEAKER_02]: Into Jobron did not play in any of those leagues.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_02]: It did play a little bit professionally in France, where he's from, but I would so expect him to finally be clear.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_02]: And once you see it that way, I guess there's stuff together if he didn't get cleared.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_02]: I guess it wouldn't.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_02]: Now, that should be the worst thing in the world.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, it pretty would love to have them, but it's not like their season is absolutely ruined.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_02]: For starting line-up, I think, Keaton Pierce, you didn't come to sit on the bench, I'm sure you would sit on the bench if you was told to do so, but I would expect him to start.
- 4:14[SPEAKER_02]: Jacob's in, you know, Jacob's in, obviously, is going to start, Omar Meyer.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_02]: I think is pretty much a lot to start.
- 4:21[SPEAKER_02]: And then I think it comes down to a handful of players here.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_02]: You know, obviously you could argue in one last to me.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_02]: You looked like the best player in produce cannon a trip, which we covered a little bit.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_00]: At least one of the best two or three, yeah.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine those two are starting and after that, it's really hard to tell.
- 4:42[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and Omer, I would assume.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_02]: There's guys like Jack Banner, he could directly start and it may be kind of thinking back to some of the early days of like facing Gillis and T.K.R., you know, they kind of flip flopped in terms of who would start Gillis will maybe start the T.K.R.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_02]: or play more minutes or vice versa.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, he's going to start at the five, came here, so at the four, I think it'll go, I think it'll go with Jakarta Harris at the three, and then Natalie's over my or in CJ Cox was the last two, so I'll put,
- 5:30[SPEAKER_02]: CJ Cox at the two and then over my or running the point there at the one so I think that'll be you kind of my projected starting five if for you really wanted to I could see Jay Cox for example coming off of of the bench and maybe that could kind of lock camera given a little bit more free rain to be kind of the alpha with the second unit be interesting to see what we see here in this the exhibition with Yukon
- 5:56[SPEAKER_02]: And it's well, it's kind of how this season goes.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_02]: So it's to talk out forward.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_02]: It's the first season, really, since the post-COVID season, I think that when I know it to expect, so it's been a nice run here of consistency and to kind of know what you're going to get from this producing.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: yet.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be one of the most interesting things is who's starting, you know, Luke Earl reportedly looking really good in practice.
- 6:24[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the most interesting things about this team is you got 10 or so guys who could probably start for you.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you do.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if Purdue has like a great player yet on their team.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_02]: I think you've got.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_02]: You know, kind of a few guys you could pick from that head of definitely a potential to be great.
- 6:42[SPEAKER_02]: I think as this team been more time together and now with the five and five rule, these players who you are like, okay, you can have one more year left with them after this.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_02]: And I got another year on top of that, theoretically this core of this Purdue team can really be together for next two to three years.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of exciting for Purdue that may have a chance to make it back to the final four potentially of this course six together and if they continue to to develop and the way that they have, so I think, produce strategy or you know, just the way that part of it is of, you know, not over recruiting from people from the transfer portal, they're more just using the portal to to plug in any holes, I think that will.
- 7:25[SPEAKER_02]: We'll certainly pay dividends here as like the five and five rule.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_02]: It starts to take place and we'll kind of see not only Purdue teams, but teams all across college basketball, they're going to be older, obviously, and they're going to be more experienced.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_02]: And hopefully with the Protect College Sports Act, which was passed in the Senate, I now go to the House at Will, hopefully limit on some transfers, which previously we had much of an issue with.
- 7:53[SPEAKER_02]: It'll limit the amount of times players can transfer.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_02]: Or how many times they can transfer it immediately, be eligible that with some of those changes, something down the pike potentially, that you'll see teams like Purdue, be aware of being more experienced and speed better.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_00]: we're going to talk about football here in a minute, one of the things I want to say about basketball is how lucky we've gotten.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_00]: The great thing about basketball is you get players for four years and you fall in love with those players and they become part of your life and then they move on and new kids come in and it's just not that way in college sports right now and
- 8:27[SPEAKER_00]: with the football team.
- 8:28[SPEAKER_00]: They're four or five guys I remember from last year.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_00]: And I love the way that they're organically building this the way it's I think supposed to be maybe it's because I'm old school, but I really appreciate what Matt Painter's done beyond just his coaching ability having these rosters that we can share for.
- 8:47[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 8:48[SPEAKER_02]: I think I can do athletic
- 8:55[SPEAKER_02]: You know, up the university, Mitch Daniel says, is probably serving as the interim, whoever is selected as the new president.
- 9:01[SPEAKER_02]: I hope that they can work with Tommy McLean and the Board of Trustees in Royce University as a whole to try to continue to support basketball and continue to support football at the highest level that they can because I think there's really been studies done of like the more success that you're
- 9:20[SPEAKER_02]: that your program has, the more applications that your school gets in the study I'm referring to, like Butler, we know whenever they, you know, had their final four run or final four runs, I should say, their applications for a student to go there, shot to the roof.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_02]: So there is data there to support that good teams increase the amount of revenue you can make from these students that are wanting to go to your university.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to be a tough challenge for Peru to compete and you're kind of the new world of college sports, but like I said, hopefully they can get some buy and from the new leadership and the university and hopefully the core of trustees can fully support the inflicted permanent.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: Please stay tuned for our Purdue Illinois Preview and a little bit about the boilermaker signing of the Center Grove Star Quarterback Offs for Sloan.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: Also, if you're a high school football fan, make sure you check out our high school football coverage.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: Two shows every week, one week app, one preview, and it's a lot of good stuff with you.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_00]: I'm against Notre Dame on Saturday, offensively, defensively, no contest, kind of disparity.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_02]: when about as badly as you can kind of expect it to go.
- 10:42[SPEAKER_02]: This new redeem team is just in a really different striers here than this Purdue program.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_02]: And that was evident on the field, luckily, burial in this press conference after the game and on Monday, previewing the Illinois matchup.
- 10:55[SPEAKER_02]: He talks about how he and the staff kind of appreciates us, put this game in the past.
- 10:59[SPEAKER_02]: Let's focus on Illinois.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_02]: It's not to well, this was too much.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_02]: and I hope that they were listening and I hope that they do that because this Illinois team, it's a pretty solid team, but Purdue does a chance to compete here.
- 11:14[SPEAKER_02]: And then Minnesota follows this game, that's a home game, so that could be potentially a win-able game.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_02]: Minnesota did have a nice win against Washington.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_02]: So they're definitely capable of beating Purdue on the road and then you got Maryland coming down that bike there in November Hopefully that one will be a wonderful game, but this is really I think we talked about at the beginning of the season the week for Games kind of the game that would decide the season so far it's looking like you might be another very bad year for Purdue But if Purdue just doesn't look competitive against selling the way if they don't look competitive against Minnesota I think
- 11:52[SPEAKER_02]: time maybe run out for a coach on that in his tenure.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not quite sure what to make of Saturday.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of thought, you know, they're just overmatched person to person.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, they have no chance.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure that's going to be the case against Illinois and Minnesota.
- 12:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think they definitely have a chance to be Illinois pull off the upset, but got to be honest, Jake, they're starting to make my interest win.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_02]: You're definitely not alone there.
- 12:21[SPEAKER_02]: So it's time for
- 12:22[SPEAKER_02]: Purdue to turn all this progress we've been talking about into a win against a big ten opponent.
- 12:29[SPEAKER_02]: So Purdue obviously has lost three straight games this season but still on that 23 game.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_02]: It's like the 23 games now a great 23 game powerful losing streak.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_02]: That's got in and in this game on the road at Illinois that would be a great one to have get the cannon trophy back through isn't to talk about for and it's not have any of its three rivalry trophies
- 12:51[SPEAKER_02]: So this would be a big one to get back.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and it's a team, I think they match up pretty well with not as good as the last couple of years, not as good up front on defense pretty balanced off and so they're going to need to be good defensively, but you feel like that they probably are going to be competitive in this one.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_02]: think so.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_02]: Just kind of taking a look at the total all-time series, Purdue leaves the all-time series 48 wins 47 losses in six ties.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_02]: So very very evenly matched series throughout the history of these two programs.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_02]: And the 21st century though, Peru is pretty overwhelmingly owned the series, Peru as a 15-day advantage in the 21st century.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_02]: But the last two games these
- 13:41[SPEAKER_02]: 2024 was the kind of coming out game for Ryan Brown, the 50 to 49 overtime thriller loss, and then in 2025, Illinois won pretty easily last year, 44 to 27.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_02]: So being nice, you know kind of get back, game for Ryan Brown, the team that he shouldn't be, and in 2024, they got the best of Purdue last year, so it's being nice.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_02]: game for him to to get a win in in this first power conference win as a quarterback at Purdue.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_02]: There's definitely definitely a chance for Purdue to win this.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_02]: I think they will be competitive, but there there is some emotional significance here of getting that cannon trophy back.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_02]: So I think it's going to come down to really produce run defense versus Illinois's running game.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_02]: Illinois is averaging 164.5 yards per game on the ground.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_02]: uh... more than five and a half yards per carry uh... their two main running backs are pretty strong last year uh... kwheel ballantine uh... at twenty two carries for ninety five yards in a touchdown in a raw state last season uh... also the quarterback keden hauser is also pretty mobile as well and eight and a lot of the last week against a lot of state ram for one hundred and thirteen yards
- 14:58[SPEAKER_02]: If you can do that against Ohio State's defense, I'd hate to see what he'll do to Purdue.
- 15:03[SPEAKER_02]: But the running attack is very strong on the foot side per year, ranks 129th national and run defense.
- 15:09[SPEAKER_02]: They give up almost 200 yards per game on the ground.
- 15:14[SPEAKER_02]: And opponents are averaging roughly five and a half yards to carry.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_02]: So it's pretty allows too many runs getting through that third level of the linebackers pretty physical, but they're not exactly quick.
- 15:28[SPEAKER_02]: You know, kind of concerning your against, uh, against Illinois team, we've been told, uh, from Coach Odomin defensive court near Kevin Kane, um, that the team is making improvements and, and that they are fixing things defensively, um, so I guess we won't get to see that.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_02]: And I imagine it would be very clear, uh, whether or not this defense has made any steps towards improvement, uh, or if it's just the same exact thing, every other team has exploited
- 15:57[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'll tell you what, Vegas expects 61 and a half points is the over under their expected a lot of points from both teams.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's what they're going to get Jake.
- 16:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go ahead and make my prediction.
- 16:11[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's going to be a high scoring loss.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_00]: I think 3727 Illinois.
- 16:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I am.
- 16:23[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of thinking this one will be pretty close.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go 40, 37, Illinois, that gets to win, but I think Purdue can keep it close.
- 16:33[SPEAKER_02]: I've just got a feeling that Purdue will compete here.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_02]: But I would obviously love for Purdue to get the win.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm going to keep, you know, pick them to lose until they can show me they can win.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_02]: So kind of the same mantra I had had last season.
- 16:49[SPEAKER_00]: But we don't right now I definitely think they're better than Maryland and I think they can win that game, but other than that, I don't see a win out there.
- 16:58[SPEAKER_02]: Like you said earlier in the season, maybe if I have the potential to win, they just gotta kind of put a good game together.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_02]: It's usually outside of the Notre Dame game, it's usually pretty often.
- 17:08[SPEAKER_02]: It has a good day, but the defense was struggles or maybe the defense has a decent day, but the offense can't really get much going.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_02]: Brue as I had much success putting complete game together.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_02]: So I think whenever they can do that, if they can do that, I think that'll be the game that they can win.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_02]: So when I'm on Saturday, why don't they get still in the way?
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: No one had rather be in surprise you than Illinois.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
- 17:35[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about the future, Jake, because we obviously love this pretty football program.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_00]: And we want it to be great, even though we're losing some interest in it.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: We want it to be great.
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: Marriottam and a staff have added a young quarterback from Center Grove, a guy.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: We really like here at the Central Indiana Sports Report with our high school coverage, Oscar Sloan, the junior quarterback from Center Grove.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a very highly recruited quarterback, but he definitely is one who, if he continues to develop, has a chance to be a great one in college.
- 18:09[SPEAKER_00]: So nice signing for Odom and a staff.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_02]: I think Osprest, Odom is a great signing year.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great job by a coach Odom.
- 18:22[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Henson and Darren Hinchall, they all identified him early and put a lot of time.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_02]: and dedicated a lot of resources to him.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_02]: So this is the first commitment in Paris, 2028 class.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_02]: So Peru got the quarterback that they've wanted.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think this was just taken the first quarterback who committed.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_02]: I think they really wanted Oscar Sloan and he's been a priority for sure.
- 18:45[SPEAKER_02]: So I hope this is a great start to a much needed great 2028 recruiting class.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_00]: And for those of you who don't know Oscar is 6495 pounds perfect.
- 19:01[SPEAKER_00]: Big 10 quarterback size 3.9 GPA was a freshman all American at Center Grove has led that team to a lot of wins over the last couple of years.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: This year so far 64% completion 749 yard six touchdowns with just one near section.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: He was injured on Friday night and only through one passing.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_00]: I looked up his status last night when doing the high school report and
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: would expect him back soon.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: And he chose Purdue over the likes of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maryland, Kansas State, Mississippi State.
- 19:40[SPEAKER_02]: So he certainly had his suitors out there and coming from a great center growth program.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_02]: I was five classic state championships, three consecutive titles from 2020 to 2022 as a freshman starter Oscar Sloan.
- 19:59[SPEAKER_02]: helped to take center groove to the original championship and so far this season there's five and one.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_02]: They're only lost coming against Warren Central.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_02]: And last year, yeah, last year, Purdue grabbed Kobe Cherry out of center groove.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_02]: So another other bowler maker coming out of center groove.
- 20:20[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm excited to see him continue to get better in high school, but I think in a short to intermediate game, I think he's a really
- 20:28[SPEAKER_02]: Passer and there is great accuracy.
- 20:29[SPEAKER_02]: It gets the ball out pretty quick, generally makes pretty good decisions, and only one or section so far through six games.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_02]: I just got good pocket presence, and when they do need to a shabald on the field, it's got a pretty good arm as well.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_02]: So that'll be the one place where you can continue to improve here as to the downhill passing.
- 20:57[SPEAKER_00]: All right, everybody, thanks for listening.
- 20:59[SPEAKER_00]: Always appreciate it, Jake.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for your time.
- 21:02[SPEAKER_00]: We will be back definitely sometime early next week.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: If Purdue wins, you'll probably hear from us on Saturday, because we'll be too excited not to do a podcast.
- 21:15[SPEAKER_00]: But my advice is make sure you're subscribed, so you don't miss any of it.
