Jimmy McKenna made it 14 commitments yesterday, which is quite a run for Jeff Brohm. Like I pointed out last week, having this many commitments this early is unprecedented for Purdue. Sure, we don’t have any 4- or 5-star commitments, but we have a solid class of guys that look promising and are in the mold of guys that had success under Brohm at Western Kentucky.
But where are we on scholarships? That is often a closely guarded secret for programs, but from what I have been able to research, here is the current situation.
