I'm one of the people that think the NCAA's rule that Seniors with eligibility transferring is a dumb rule...and it seems to make college athletes into free agents. But, if the rule exists, it'd be great for it to actually help Purdue out.
So, here are a few guys that are available for immediate transfer without having to sit out a year that might be able to produce right away:
Jerron Granberry, North Florida
6'5" Guard/Forward who averaged 9.2points and 3.2 reb is a good shooter and a great free throw shooter (who knows; maybe his technique can be adopted by our Boilers?)...looks to be a Wyoming lean.
Tarik Black, Memphis
6'9" Forward who averaged 8.1/4.8...physical presence. Minnesota might be his current leader as they've made him a focus.
Lasan Kromah, George Washington
6'5" Guard who averaged 10.1/3.7...great size, length and athleticism, but not a great shooter. Looks like he'll end up on the East coast.
Jake Thomas, Marquette
6'3" Guard, originally from Wisconsin, who averaged 1.8 points/game is rumored to be looking at coming to Purdue...I don't know much about him other than he's already transferred once (from South Dakota)...that seems to be a bit of a sign that he just jumps around.
Errick Peck, Cornell
6'6" Forward who averaged 9.7/4.8...smart guy from Indy. Rumors swirl about him heading to Butler and Boston College; this guy would be my number one choice...if I had a choice. Interestingly, Peck played his HS ball with Kelsey Barlow at Cathedral in Indianapolis.
This rule helped out Louisville (Luke Hancock) quite a bit down the stretch...The right fit can make a huge difference.
There are about ten more players out there who fit the bill of being able to play right away, at this point...and there might be a few more in the coming days. Outside of Thomas and Peck, there doesn't seem to be a whole bunch of smoke with any of these guys...and I'd prefer Purdue give the walk-ons schollies than get a guy like Thomas. But I've been wrong before, might be again in the future.

Thursday Gumbo
Practice, not a game...
Purdue's football team continued to quietly toil and prepare for next season...not too much is trickling out via GBI that's of note, but one thing that Coach Hope said that is noteworthy, was Royce Adams move to outside receiver. This is awfully good news as the receiving corp needs guys in a position to succeed. Plus, this is Adams' last shot as he'll be a Senior in the fall.
New Fields to be ready in the fall
If you've been by Macky/Mollenkopf recently, you've seen the massive amount of earth that's being moved around as the Sports Complex renovation gets underway. The first phase of the project that will be completed will be the fraternal-twin football fields where the Grand Prix track once was. One will be synthetic turf, the other will be Bermuda (cold strain) like the surface of Ross Ade. And, both will be fully-functional by the time fall practices start in August.
Tour de Forcier
Former 4-star, 2007 recruit, Chris Forcier is transferring out of UCLA. Forcier, who is brother of incoming-Frosh, Tate (at UM), and Stanford QB, Jason, was recently timed at 4.43 for his 40 yard dash...And as he didn't look to break the two-deeps, Coach Newweasel wanted to move him into a position where his speed could be used. Chris wanted only to be a QB...and is now on his way out the door in SoCal. The oldest of the three, Jason also transferred from UM early in his career.
Rumors are swirling as to where he might end up...and Purdue is in the mix as he will visit Purdue in the coming weeks. I don't know if he's the best fit for a pass-first spread offense, but maybe Hope knows something we don't. Transfers can be a great thing or a huge pain in the arse...so I don't know if I have an opinion on this kid other than speed kills...but so do ginormous egos.
Cut it out
Is anybody else sick of the Jay Cutler crap? Has a lousy quarterback ever gotten so much ink as this guy? He might be talented, but he's a lil' b*tch and I'm sick of seeing him in print and on TV...hopefully, he'll sign with Washington when that trade finally becomes public.
