The dust has settled, the recruiting class (for the most part) is in the barn, and optimism is on the rise in Boiler Nation. I think it’s a good time to look at what Purdue has coming back, and how they may fit into Jeff Brohm’s scheme.
As of this moment, Purdue doesn’t have a defensive coordinator, so I’ll start on the offensive side of the ball. I’m going to give you the best-case scenario for each returning and incoming scholarship player. Granted, there is no way each player reaches the “best-case scenario” but a new sheriff is in town, and players overlooked by the previous coaching staff have another opportunity to impress and play.
