Thoughts: Strickland is a Mark Hagen Special. The previous defensive staff barely recruited him, but when the new staff came in, all hands were on deck to get him to come to Purdue.
Both Parents are Purdue grads, so this was a welcomed sight for the family that wanted him to make the short trip up I65 to Purdue.
