I think it will be tough going for awhile before we start landing quality transfers that don't have a direct connection to the coaching staff. Despite Roger's charisma and good name, we're still a train wreck until we're not. I can imagine a lot of players not wanting to be part of a complete rebuild, especially if they only have 1 year to shine.

Agreed.  Even Powell is playing down expectations for the first year.  At least he's managing expectations, which is an art in and of itself.

Brandon's assistant coach at Purdue for one year is now the head coach at Western Michigan. Relationships.

I believe he meant Western Kentucky. Steve Lutz is the head coach there now, and he was at Purdue for Brandon's redshirt and RS freshman seasons.

Sigh... I get that finding the right fits is important for both school and player but I really wanted Newman to come to Valpo. I just want Powell to start signing some players so that we know what we have to look forward to. I trust him and think it's going to be awesome but having to wait this long is making me impatient. Hopefully the patience proves worthwhile. I'm sure it will.

I agree. It's tough to have patience when we had patience for 7 years during the Lottich years but Powell is just starting with a program on a downfall & it will take more time. Patience must be restarted.
