  [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back boiler maker fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for this week's Purdue report here to talk all things Purdue with our guide Jake Dunn Jake joining me on the Riverside app First we're going to talk a little football and then we're going to talk about basketball Jake the I think the biggest news so far from the football team in the off season is the coaching changes
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So far, Purdue is leg-go, vansfice, the former offensive line coach, as well as Lamar Connerd, the running backs coach.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have replaced him with Zach Crab tree.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is the new offensive line coach, Purdue hired him on this past Friday.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: He comes from Fresno State, where he
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Before Fresno State, he was at USC, where he worked with current Purdue, offensive coordinator, Josh and Sim.
• 1:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Crabjee also played on the online at Oklahoma State.
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: In Hinton also, I was an offensive lineman at Oklahoma State as well.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Crabjee also played in the NFL for the Los Angeles Charters for a season but retired due to the injury.
• 1:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it was at Oklahoma State.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: in 2017.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did earn all big 12 honors.
• 1:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, young guy hitting the pros knows what it takes to get there.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of an up and coming coach and the ranks here.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a guy that fits into the Josh Hips and system.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've heard that he advanced vice and had a little bit of friction there on the staff.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think that was a piece of him being let go and
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: and bring junctions and rayons at Crab tree to be the new offensive wine coach.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: With the news of Bandsvice being what go, Purdue did see offensive wine in Hank Purvis, and are the transfer portal today.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a 65 360 pound guard.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: He played in nine games
• 2:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: So he was ranked 11th one, Jake, and like most of the others, it was me.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think, Jumari and Harcliffe is probably a decent size loss other than that.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Anybody else, disappointed you that they're going?
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, no, Chapsarquist and now I hang purpose.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this is the two that is staying the most, you know, Hank Perversal wasn't great according to Pro football focus.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: six best run blocker and six best pass blocker for Purdue on the offensive line.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it wasn't that it wasn't great, but you know, kind of a depth piece that you'd like to get back it if you can, but it makes sense with the offensive line change.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Perse is a guy that that followed Vans Faison and Coach Odom from UNLV.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It'd be interesting to see if
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: and fans of ice get picked out of it, purpose follows him to those two are the biggest losses, but anybody else's in the portal isn't done, isn't really a loss, so far.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, our mod branch a little bit of a disappointment for Widersyver depth, I kind of a playmaker, but again, nothing that's gonna concern you too much, and now as your chance to start adding some pieces.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: with the firing of Lamar Conerd, Purdue moves current wide receivers coach Cornell Ford to running back a coach which is what's down it that's kind of his natural position there.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cornell Ford has, but before moving to wide out, he's never coached that position before.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's always coach running backs.
• 3:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did that with that coach tournament.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: under Gary Pinkle, and then, you know, was running back's coach under very old, and whenever I come to it, it was was running the Missouri program in 2016 to 2019.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So back in his natural position, and then to fill the receiver spot, Purdue promoted offensively in the list, the long marshal, who was actually a Purdue wide receiver
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think it's kind of tied up to be a, you know, a solid recruiter, so it's a room that the needs a lot of coaching help that that maybe this will be a good move and hopefully that that they can bring bring some guys from the portal here that can be rolled with different makers for sure we need to start seeing movement.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to get caught in the trap of.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: the whole Kurt Signetti thing and expecting expectations overnight.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just be honest, we're not a football school, so I don't see a lot of urgency, but we definitely have to see movement starting here with adding some talent in the portal.
• 5:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ideally, you'd like to see probably four white receivers that are of the starting caliber, I would think.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: because I mean, we lose Michael Jackson, there's a couple other receivers that had some solid playing time, their ally eligibility, nice retuggles, really the only one that you'd really like to keep.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it sounds like so far they might, would like to see some similar players come in here on the portal.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: I hope so, I'd like to see some growth from Nitro.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_02]: We saw some flashes of it
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: hopefully this new coaching hire can help kind of we'll see some of that development come to light here.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Going to have to find the quarterback though, right?
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's I think beefing up both sides of the line is going to be kind of priority number one.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe getting some help on on the outside too, and the receiver spot is going to be important, but you're finding a guy at the absolute minimum would push and Brown for that starting position.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think you and I are both on the same same train here that Ryan Brown isn't the guy and we'd like to see Purdue come out and get a guy who can come in here and be the QB1 start the season.
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: But you know, I'm sure Ryan Brown will get better over the off season, but I think he's got a ways to go before he can be, you know, a winning big ten quarterback.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's certainly an option.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think he showed again some flashes that of being a pretty good quarterback, but like you said, at a minimum, a guy who can be competitive with him.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Jake, a couple of basketball topics I wanted to bring up with you first.
• 7:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: On Friday, we're going to have our first college basketball report of the year.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I talked with the IU guys, Grant Shows, and my cuts all about their big 10 predictions and what they think's going to happen starting in January when it all starts up again.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to get your opinion as well.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: don't want to get your predictions yet because we're going to do that when the big 10 starts in a couple of weeks, but want to get your take on what you've seen from the big 10 so far and not necessarily where Purdue fits in, but who are the other teams that concern you and what's been the biggest story in your mind?
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think honestly Nebraska has been the biggest story and not a team that allowed people coming into the season thought that they would be make early right now tied for for the top in the big town out of the zone in two games, but they're tied for the top of the big town right now with Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, and UCLA.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: The rest of those were teams that coming into the season you thought that would be kind of in that upper tier.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: into Big 10, they went on the road and beat a decent Illinois team there ranked for the first time in a while.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're kind of the story of the Big 10 so far.
• 8:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: One of the few undefeated teams left in the country.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: One of two of the Big 10, Michigan, and a Praster, the only two undefeated teams left in the Big 10, and over a record, they're still a handful of teams that are
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: you know, undefeated in the conference.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Think, think them and, and just Michigan's down, and it's, you know, that there's been kind of the two two biggest story lines here so far.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Nebraska is not a flu because it's not been a great schedule, but not a flu.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: There'd be no Oklahoma 105 to 99.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_02]: It'd be craten by 21 points on December 7th, then three days later, beat Wisconsin by 30 points at home and then three days later, as you mentioned,
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: the winner, Illinois man, Nebraska story, the year probably across the country right now.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here the day after New Year's day, so January 2nd, they play Michigan State at home at 9 PM Eastern Tip.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that'd be a really good game to watch.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, assuming that they get by University North Dakota and University of New Hampshire, which those should be, I should be easy once
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: a team that that Purdue has to go on the road to play and in February.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, if they keep it up, that could be a marquee matchup.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: No doubt.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's what we've been saying all along.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty good a break no trip to Michigan.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: No trip to Michigan State.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: No trip to Illinois.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_02]: But looks like Nebraska is going to be a really tough place to play this year.
• 9:59
  [SPEAKER_02]: It looks like that team is legit.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: And
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: That might be one of their toughest trips in the entire Big Ten schedule.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: There up to 15th now and the AP pulled in Nebraska is placed that a couple of years ago Purdue went to a man's acuity on the team and they got to be at Nebraska to a team that that wasn't ranked a place to Purdue hasn't necessarily played well historically.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: At least over the past few years and definitely on that before this season you think Purdue, okay, I can bet you they can probably win.
• 10:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Nebraska, that may have a pretty good shot of one in Allen.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: Man, Michigan.
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how they only have 16 of the 31 first place votes because I've seen Arizona and I've seen Michigan and I tell you what, Michigan is scary.
• 10:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: They are.
• 10:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got five guys and double figures and Elliott Cadillac is a pretty good guard.
• 10:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Transfer from from from from UFI and North Carolina.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: A
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, just about six guys and double figures there and then you got a couple more than our averaging seven or eight point to game so yeah, they got a really talented roster their their averaging just under 95 point to game shooting the ball pretty well from three almost 38% on the year and over on the field goal percentage 50% so team that can shoot team that's athletic and big and wanky and team that certainly is looking like
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: one of the best in the country.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: Incredible depth, good coaching as well.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can almost argue that that dusty may is the current significant college basketball.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: That may bring me to another topic, Jake, and I wanted to bring up.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: Now that we've seen 11 Purdue games that are ranked sixth, we came into the season, expecting them to be the national champions,
• 12:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: But at this point, where do you put them?
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: The favorites among the favorites is sixth about right.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: How would you assess the boy that makes it through 11 games from a national lens?
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't think the sixth is about right with how they worked in the Iowa State game.
• 12:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: And again, I know they've talked to all they've looked better, defensively, the past two games.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, probably at this at this rate anyway aren't going to make the tournament.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to, you know, kind of gauge.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Saturday against Auburn will be a really good test if they can come out and pull a Texas tech and you know, being a buff by 30 and really just don't make the game.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be a more confident to put them in that top two or three again.
• 12:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I right now, I think six looks looks pretty good.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Duke looks really good.
• 12:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was state looks really good.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michigan, we've talked about it's really good Arizona, it looks really good.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Despite everybody in front of Purdue, I think it's played a little bit better than Purdue, certainly like you said, still still in that mix for for being a contender.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake last thing.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jeff Borzellon, Paul Bancardi at ESPN released their college basketball recruiting rankings, and I know they don't mean
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: as much as they usually do with as much as the portals important you never know in which one of these kids is going to wind up leaving before it even before the season even gets here it's a wild world but that being said for doing one of their best recruiting classes ever probably number eleven in the country with
• 13:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: three top 100 players and a three star center with a lot of problems.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Purdue does have, you know, one of one of their best rankings here all time.
• 14:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: New girl is a guy that I think is going to be a brain smith.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Calibur, you know, it was coming in going to be a bringsness Calibur player.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to, I don't want to put that pressure on them.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: That might be a little much, but yeah, but, you know, kind of the same, the same ilk, if you will coming in that kind of a smaller, more undersized guard, who is a, just a shot maker.
• 14:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's the best player in Indiana, and a guy that is going to really
• 14:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: a guy who's a pretty guy, a guy who's going to come in here and get Purdue wins.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, overall in the 2026 class, the Purdue, overall class, 247 sports has Purdue ranks fourth overall in the nation, so that obviously is a really high ranking, got two guys from Lollumier, actually Jacob Weber, who's a White South shooter, Rivers
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: amazing Gillis type, you know, track there of getting hurt in high school with a bad knee injury and kind of taking this recruiting a little on the radar.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I think producer excited with Hammond.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then, uh, Sinon who won, who, uh, goes to Georgetown prep in, uh, in Maryland, really tall center, um, who kind of moves better than, and then, uh, guys, it's, it's, it's,
• 15:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: and down real excited for this class here to continue to tell the Purdue to die said that the teams that now.
• 15:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: And of Purdue in the ESPN top 10 just engaged you guys are curious Missouri is number one.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: They have the number four number 14 players in the country coming in Michigan state is number two with four top 100 recruits.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh oh Duke.
• 16:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: like it normally does, Kansas, like it normally does, four and five tech or three and four Texas is five Maryland.
• 16:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: Also the Big Ten Six pit has three guys in the top 80 Vanderbilt's number eight USC number nine and Oklahoma State number 10.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: kind of nice to see some teams that are normally up there, so high.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this whole wild west thing is actually producing some interesting results.
• 16:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it also kind of shows that maybe some of these teams that were getting really high recruits at a high school and maybe they're more focused on the portal.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Personally, I'm glad that Purdue is still sticking with there.
• 16:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, they are using the portal.
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: And also, club is a really important addition this team.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And certainly wouldn't be as good of a team without them.
• 17:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they're using that to compliment what they're building through the high school ranks.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad that Purdue is sticking that approach rather than just just living in the portal every year.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Me too.
• 17:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: I love Matt Painter's approach.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm proud that he's our coach.
• 17:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jake, it's been great as always, and this week, we are going to preview the Auburn game on Friday.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: So everybody, please tune in for that.
• 17:31
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a big one.
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, a game that pretty needs to come ready to play.
• 17:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, because I knew Auburn well, they've got some really good players.
• 17:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I look forward to preview on that here.
• 17:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll leave the week.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: One of the few teams on the schedule that can match Purdue, player for player talent for talent.
• 17:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: They haven't really put it together yet, but that is one talented group at Auburn.
• 17:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yes it is.
• 17:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk more about them and what makes them go and of course they're coaching situation.
