2019 4* S Marvin Grant commits to Purdue - HOW???
While busy trying to gain Karma for the CFB Risk War, I came across this:
From this, I have ALL the questions:
- Why would a 4-star Safety out of Detroit sign with Purdue?
- Was UM not heavily involved?
- His Crystal Ballz were heavily for Kentucky...Why?
And further - this link shows that Purdue now has 3 4-Stars in the 2019 class.
They only had ONE (!!) in the 2018 class.
What kind of Snake Oil is Brohm pushing?
I look to my Supreme Recruiting Overlords to help me understand this...
Current Feels:
don't know why not, but they weren't
Sure they lose a decent number when/if the bigger dogs from the B1G/ACC/SEC come calling but he is making it harder for the Purdue/IU/Illinois/Minnesotas of the world and even occasionally MSU or UM.
Vince Marrow.
but he's not recruiting the state of Michigan. That would be Steve Clinkscale.
Maybe attracted to the excellent on-site medical facilities?
win the thread. Well played.
Lock it. Bootlegger played like a champ today. IBD.
spit coffee through my nose -
Well played unclothed whiskey maker
Plus the dude's offer list screams 3* or 3*/4* tweener. Coaches don't seem to think he's the 264th best player in the country like 247 does
we have a winner!
Keeping in mind that not all offers are equal. Guessing which offers are "commitable" can be a challenge in itself.
Word is that Grant called up Purdue today and said "I'm committed to playing at Purdue". I hope this was helpful.
You're welcome.
It's likely no more than he developed early and then didn't keep developing as his classmates caught up. Michigan was after him at one point but they dropped off as they saw more of his classmates and started to pursue guys like Daxton Hill and Lewis Cine. Plus they took a bunch of CB/S types last class so they can be picky. His offers from Michigan and ND are likely not committable.
For anyone interested, the 247sports targets page for Michigan is kept pretty up to date by Steve L and those listed as top targets are guys who the staff really wants and thinks they have a good shot with(in the top 3-5). Those under high choice are guys Michigan would like but aren't likely to get. Below that are guys Michigan isn't really recruiting or are watching but haven't offered yet. I don't think it's paywalled and it gives a nice snapshot for those who don't follow recruiting closely.

Maybe he always dreamed of becoming an astronaut?
What's Going On?
I'd like to find a way to bring some understanding here today.
It's ok because we're going to flip the Greek kid.
And just to add, I have no inside knowledge whatsoever. I'm just really hoping we do. I know we have a chance from what the gurus have been saying.
That Purdue is so hot right now.
He's probably just avoiding being in the Purdue visitors locker rooms
Also rankings are getting worse and worse as a guide for any individual player as there’s really only 2 services now that put out a ranking. Obviously on the whole higher ranking the better but for any individual player I wouldn’t sweat the ranking difference between a low 4/ higher 3 star
And that train horn sound. Can't forget that selling point.
Yep. Just look at the post above and see how many of our 5-star running backs never panned out to do much.
They are ever hopeful, as evidenced by this Purdue fan's reply to a Penn State fan:
We start playing you again in a couple years....we could be kinda good by then!
........someone told me, Harbaugh worked a "Vegas Golden Nights-esque" deal and now..... UofM's getting Karlaftis.
As part of the deal, Mott is also gonna send an Xray machine, defib, and one of those cool tents you sit in when feeling woozy. (Actually wish this part true.)

snake oil. In all seriousness though, good luck to him except when he plays Michigan.
