Rodriguez didn't get the job at West Virginia until 2001, he was at Clemson 1999-2000.

I’d take North Dakota State’s leading WR, Bryce Lance. No idea if he’ll go into the portal.

Really agree. Getting shafted in a Thursday road game where just about the only statistic re: losing was the FT disparity (and an “inadvertent” goaltending whistle) is enough to give these guys a hangover. I cannot say I was surprised by them looking/feeling dispirated. I think days off followed by a home game will be the tonic they need to get back on track. They’re kids.

Wonder also if there aren’t going to be potential candidates coming out after NDSU’s championship game today.

Classes may have started but I believe students have a week or so to matriculate late. A sliver of hope for more.

I believe Kafka had the highest Wonderlic score the Eagles had seen. Interesting but does it translate OC or HC

Looks like we got a couple of good ones so far. I don’t know if we are done already with classes starting but, last Jackrabbit follows on the NU General Manager of Roster Development and Retention from oldest to newest: Wilde, Beernsten, Clayborne, Hawthorne, Stoffel, Large, Tucker.

Tucker just added this weekend.

We got the first two. I have no idea who the others are.

I did not see a whole lot of Purdue specific tactics. I did not see the help defenders do anything different when Smith had the ball. I saw mistakes like going under the pick and roll on Smith.

On the other hand I did see the "Purdue is guarding Barnelli with 3 players". They executed this very well. Their players were very aware of what they had to do. Rarely we made them pay. Leach did briefly in the beginning of the game. The first or second posession of the second half exemplified this very well: the Purdue players were sagging and Leach (I believe) hits a wide open 3 pt shot.

I am not saying with all this we did not prep the game. Just, like you say, that the execution was atrocious. Players looked confused, lacking confidence. It's easy to see good prep and execution on the Purdue side when they are killing us and not seeing it on our when we are stinking so badly.

Are you sure that the visit was to Clemson? I thought they went to see Rich Rodriguez at West Virginia to learn about that spread offense?
