Is Robbie Hummel back for his 17th season at Purdue?
I think you mean Brian Cardinal. That guy was at Purdue for 17 plus years too it seemed.
...was also one of those dudes that looked like he was 35 as a freshman. So by the time he graduated a decade-and-a-half later, dude looked borderline geriatric.
to offer a scholarship. Meanwhile, our last spot is occupied by....(crickets)

The two players that left were not even in his position group.......Their playing time wouldn't have come at expense of his. X and Spike's playing time would come at the expense of the other.
His retirement lasted all of a few months. He would still be here if Beilein wanted him.
Instead, we thought hunting for Ivy League players would be a wiser choice than a 5th year senior that we know can play at this level.
We went after a guy that could play two positions, one of which was a position of need. Spike would be our third player at 6' or under. Only two of them were going to get significant minutes. And I'd prefer one of them to be X.
WD you are so, so, so wrong on this.
Good riddance to Spike. At least he won't be around to take freshmen to Skeeps and quit on the team so he can retain another year of eligibility. Seriously, Spike is not so adored on campus; he chose to leave this team. He was not pushed out.
Unless you were a part of the behind closed door meeting between Belien and Spike you onlyl have speculation as your foundational argument! I also do not like that Spike is gone and to another B1G school. However, I can not be certain of the acutality of Spike being 'shoved' out the door. Nor can anyone else. You might be letting your emotions and loyalties cloud your 'factual' talking points?
Go Blue!
It doesn't mean that much to him to mean that much to you.

He probably figured that since Kate is off the market now, he might as well move on to something new.

Must be the money.....
Pete personifies everything I hate about mascots.
...well, maybe not so much.
He's from Indiana.
Didn't we beat Indiana when they needed wins to improve their seed?
You obviously were not in Crisler Center to witness Indiana go on a 27-0 run against us this February.
Literally the most horrifying sports thing I've ever seen in person. The MSU miracle win in October was overall worse, but not in terms of abject helplessness.
What did that have to do with us not being able to score for 12 minutes straight, largely because of awful post play?
That's what Butler is for.
Good luck Spike. He'll always be a Wolverine to me. It's been a pleasure to watch him play over the last few years.
this fucking sucks.
Another disastrous mistake managing the roster by Beilein. Who's the next diamond we're going to pluck out of the rough, develop for four years and then ship to a Big Ten rival for his last year (while we do nothing with an empty scholarship I might add)?
