Hello: Georg.......?
November 15th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
I vote that if Karlaftis does flip, his Hello post is instead "Hiya, Georgie"
November 15th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
As one of the few MGoGreeks around here and Karlaftis being a rare 5-star Greek football player, I would personally like "Yiasou: George Karlaftis" or maybe "Tikanis: George Karlaftis".
November 15th, 2018 at 3:32 PM ^
Better still...
Γεια σας, Γιώργος Καρλαφτής
November 15th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
Now I cant get Estelle’s voice outta my head.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:01 PM ^
He’s not really going out on a limb with this prediction. Everyone knows it’s going to happen after the regular season it’s just a matter of what day does it become official
November 15th, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
Exactly. Dickish is just guessing (or "hearing from sources") at the date here.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Lets go full recruit culture mode! How dare Purdue make us use shitty facilities payback time!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
i believe.
and for the record, i loved it when dakic announced our games.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:04 PM ^
We are also on commit watch per Giles Jackson....probably Keegan
November 15th, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
Jalen Perry
November 15th, 2018 at 2:10 PM ^
Keegan said he won't be announcing until December 11th, his sister's birthday. If it is Keegan he's informed staff/recruits but won't go public for a month.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
November 15th, 2018 at 5:02 PM ^
If my son made his announcement on my daughters b-day, I promise you it would not end well for him.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
KAR-LAF-TIS!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
The voice in my head while reading this is that of Dustin Hoffman's Hook saying Rufio.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:09 PM ^
I know its Dakic but I think we all assume this will be happening. That will lead to Karlaftis de-commit from Purdue and commit to the good guys.
At that point should we be concerned how that will affect Harrison's recruitment or just shut up and be happy for a 5*?
November 15th, 2018 at 2:11 PM ^
I don't know why Harrison would care. There are 4 starting DL spots and Harrison will play anywhere he goes. All this means is he's surrounded by more elite players, which is part of the reason he probably wants to come to Michigan.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
They're not going to play the same position, so no, one will not affect the other. Karlaftis will start out at Anchor with a strong possibility of moving down to 3T. Harrison will start at End with a decent chance of moving to Anchor. The coaches would absolutely get both on the field.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:16 PM ^
Yeah if Karlaftis is really already in that 260 range I could see him getting up to that 285 area relatively quickly and if he keeps his quickness he's going to be a nightmare at the 3T.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
The only thing I would say is that simply refining Karlaftis' body composition and strength and keeping him at Anchor would allow for a four man front of Karlaftis, Mazi, Hinton, and Harrison. Based on recruiting rankings, that would be one of if not the scariest front four we've ever fielded.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Playing on a line with a number of elite players reduces the potential that other teams will be able to focus on one player.
It's a win-win for all who play on that line!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Whole bunch of balls gonna be turning blue soon enough!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
Guys he staying in West Lafayette.
The wet dream (might) be short one guy.
November 15th, 2018 at 3:31 PM ^
Hmmmm
Weren’t you the one saying Brohm wasn’t going to be leaving Purdue to begin with?
November 15th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
Why are we hating on Dan Dakich so much? He is sort of a jackass, but he overtly roots for Michigan when he announces our games. I love it.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:25 PM ^
He also said Michigan had no chance last night
November 15th, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
To be fair no one here actually thought we would win the game let alone blow them out.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:40 PM ^
No one? Looked like the coaches and kids thought they had a plan for winning.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:29 PM ^
He didn't root for Michigan, he rooted for the team his son was on. Now his son is an assistant for OSU so guess who he'll be rooting for.
Also an ass who roots for Michigan is still an ass.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:43 PM ^
Yes, but many Michigan fans are asses. But, they're OUR asses. I still felt him rooting for Michigan even after Andrew left.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:25 PM ^
If this is true this adds to why purdue will never be a decent program. Gotta hang on to a coach like Brohm. Big ten west just lost a contender...
November 15th, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
Did Dakich play Counterstrike with Kirk Herbstreit?
November 15th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
Not that I wouldn't be thrilled to see him go, just wondering why he's supposedly such a slam-dunk hire. I get the Louisville connection and everything, and obviously he has that flashy win over OSU this year, but outside of that his teams haven't been all that great or consistent.
November 15th, 2018 at 3:13 PM ^
Well he made Purdue the best team in the B1G.
/s
November 15th, 2018 at 3:41 PM ^
Marcus Ray'd!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
Brohm’s legacy at Purdue: informing their fan base that they are a stepping stone to a mediocre job at a cheating basketball school
November 15th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
This was probably already a done deal as soon as we started first hearing about the possibility.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
Is this another Kirk herbsreit-les miles deal? Hopefully not
November 15th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
I think we all just miss a good coaching search. We have gotten so used to have a search ever four years or so around here, it just feels like time. We miss the thrill of the hunt, the following of rumors, and the tracking of flights. The fact that we might get something out of this is just our excuse.
I am so happy to have Harbaugh(for hopefully a long long time)!
November 15th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
Is Dakich trolling us with this????
November 15th, 2018 at 5:08 PM ^
Dakich certainly has no idea that Michigan fans are hoping Brohm goes to Louisville so we can get Karlaftis. But if he did, he absolutely would be trolling us about it.
November 15th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Trolling us? He's an IU guy. If he was trolling someone, it would be Purdue.
November 15th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
Apparently he's been walking it back on his radio show so who really knows. I'll believe when I see it
November 15th, 2018 at 3:05 PM ^
Louisville or Purdue.
You guys arguing about this is like arguing about which is the better food, green beans or brussel sprouts.
Answer: They both suck. Who cares.
Brohm would obviously prefer Louisville for reasons that have nothing to do with West Lafayette's campus, its proximity to Indianapolis, facilities, etc.
November 15th, 2018 at 4:47 PM ^
Dude. Green beans are waaaaaaaaay better.
November 15th, 2018 at 5:04 PM ^
Whoever has cooked your green beans in life has done you a great deal of harm.
November 15th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Dude, grilled Brussels Sprouts are the bomb. Seriously.
November 15th, 2018 at 3:12 PM ^
Just heard all of Columbus breathe a collective sigh of relief...
