This is our biggest recruiting conquest (on paper) in The Tiller Era. I can't remember the last time we legitimately beat Michigan for a guy in their backyard! Coach Brock Spack is DA MAN!
Don't feel too bashful about playing "Hail Purdue" in your cubes, offices, etc. Boiler UP!
Here's a list of our class to date, which could very well turn out to be Tiller's best!
