PURDUE RUMORS & GOSSIP
Purdue lands first ’14 commit, Dakota Mathias
The Purdue Boilermakers are on the board in the 2014 class, after landing a verbal commitment on Sunday from 6′-5″ Dakota Mathias of Elida (OH).

2012-13 Basketball Season Review: Purdue Boilermakers
Matt Painter is a heck of a coach and if you don't believe me, just watch some tape of the 2012-13 basketball team for all the proof you need. This was one of the youngest teams in terms of starting experience returning in the conference and I'll readily admit I thought this team was going to struggle all season long because of it.
Instead this team punched...

Panthers Select Purdue DT Kawann Short (Rd. 2, No.43)
With the 44th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Panthers select Purdue DT Kawann Short. An immensely talented DT, Short is has the skill set to be a Pro Bowl DT, but he needs to play with much better aggressiveness, intensity and hand use to become a consistent NFL player. With his thick build and athleticism, he has the talent to be a versatile DL in the NFL. He could be an...
Purdue gave Marcius all it could
By leaving Purdue behind, Sandi Marcius is also saying goodbye to his scholarship. As a result, he must pick up the hefty tab for the two classes needed to graduate and transfer. Purdue isn't paying for its departing forward, and nor should it.

New Purdue coach takes backseat at 1st spring game
Purdue coach Darrell Hazell took plenty of notes Saturday, and now he'll have plenty to ponder heading into fall practice.
Instead of calling plays at Saturday's spring football game, Purdue's new coach spent most of the afternoon walking around in a white windbreaker and black baseball cap analyzing every play from the offensive backfield. His early conclusion: The...

Matt Painter is still coaching
This has been a lost year for the Purdue Boilermakers. It was pretty clear that the Boilers weren’t going to do much this year after they lost to Bucknell, Villanova and Oregon State early this year, and struggled further early in the Big Ten schedule. Teams could have given up at some point, especially a team like this one. They are young, but still talented enough so as not to...

Purdue Boilermakers to fire coach Danny Hope
This has been talked about for quite some time- no shock with the axe dropping. Here’s a tweet from the Indiana Hoosiers Rivals account:
Jeff Rabjohns ?@JeffRabjohns
Multiple sources tell http://Peegs.com this is Danny Hope’s final season as Purdue FB coach, regardless of the outcome of today’s game.
Therefore, a bucket for a bowl isn’t enough to save his gig. Winning...
2012-13 Big Ten Basketball Preview: Purdue Boilermakers
Quick, name a player on the Purdue roster.... still waiting... O.k., give up yet? Ya, that's exactly the problem facing Matt Painter and Co. in the post Robbie Hummel era. This team is decidedly young, could be immensely talented, but VERY young and in a conference as deep as the Big Ten is this season that could spell trouble for the Boilermakers.
This team returns only...
