2013 Purdue Boilermakers

[Jack Lambert]

Here are your white Boilermakers starting for coach Darrell Hazell in his first year with the program. Hazel did field a few white teams with Kent State, but it looks like his first year at Purdue will be a little worse, with 9 white starters to start the year. The positive of this is that three of them will be on defense, which is pretty high these days. Since 2005, the Boilermakers have started 9, 8, 8, 9, 11, 12, 8, and 6 white starters. Due to recent depth chart changes, the original six I projected will now be nine,for an increase of 3 from last year!! Just three short years ago, Purdue started an all-white OL, a white RB, and had 12 white starters. In three short years, that has been halved, along with the roster blackening up with it. Some white backups to look for are: QB Danny Etling, Danny Anthrop as an RB, FB Kurt Freytag, WRs Cameron Posey, Shane Mikesky, BJ Knauf, and Danny Anthrop, TE Justin Sinz, LT JJ Prince, LG Jason King, C Cody Davis, RG Jordan Roos, RT Jack De Boef, DE John Strauser, LB Jimmy Herman, and FS Taylor Feichter. Look for Purdue’s offense to whiten up the next couple of years; the defense, not so much.

Offense
QB- Rob Henry
FB- Kurt Freytag
WR- Danny Anthrop
C- Robert Kugler
RG- Cody Davis
RT- Trevor Foy - in a fight for the position.

Defense
DE- Greg Latta
SLB- Sean Robinson
SS- Landon Feichter

I used to watch Purdue a lot from the early '90s to early 2000s. Their teams were a lot like Iowa's back then -- lots of Whites on offense including WRs, and usually roughly half White on defense. And of course they had Mike Alstott too, at the same time Indiana was starting Alex Smith at tailback and Michigan State had Scott Greene.

In a caste-free world Knauf should be a tailback as he is very shifty and has legit. 4.3 speed and Anthrop can also fly. Posey is a possession reciever and Mikesky is a former 110 high hurdler champion. They have a true freshman wr named Dan Monteroso who is tall and reputedly has a 43 inch vertical. At worst they will have 5 white wr's vying for playing time.

I've caught a few of their classic games on the Big 10 Network, and damn, those were some fun teams to watch. It's a shame what's happened to them in the last couple years. Although there's some good news to report:

Danny Anthrop has won a starting WR spot; it looks like Knauf is backing him up. FB Kurt Freytag has won the starting job too, as has RG Cody Davis. Trevor Foy has been getting stiff competition from a black at the RT spot. TE Justin Sinz has the edge on the backup TE spot. On the defensive side of the ball, Jimmy Herman has gotten a backup LB job, and SS Landon Feichter's little brother Taylor Feichter is the backup at the FS spot. So the Boilermakers will in fact be a bit whiter than I first projected; up to 9 white starters and a few more white reserves than I had first projected.

 

[referendum]

With Purdue's bounceback in whites, this underscores a trend in teams in the Big Ten. Teams like Illinois, Purdue, Penn State, Minnesota will have an ominous dip in whites, but a wave of white O linemen and even some on defense will bring some of these teams back from SECification. I think there are just too many good strong white high school footballers out there in the mid-west, Great Lake state region for them all to be ignored.

I agree, referendum. Most of these Big 10 schools have all-white lines or nearly so. I don't think any Big 10 program has less than three white OL starters. These teams go in cycles, when a team is scraping the bottom of the barrel in the Big 10, then that school will start recruiting more of the vastly underrated white players in the Midwest. Said program uses the talent of these white players to rise through the ranks of the conference again, and within a couple of years, they are part of the upper echelon of the Big 10. However, to these retarded programs, success = recruiting more "5-star" "high character" black athletes, and the team really blackens up. When these athletes don't turn out to be the "5-star" talents people thought they were (gee, a real shocker there) the program slips back down to the bottom dwellers of the conference. The cycle repeats itself, again, and again, and again.

This trend is much more noticeable in college basketball, but it is with some conference in the college football realm as well.
