Wave farewell Purdue fans, Mark Chase is going pro.

You have a lot of tough losses to Graduation and pro.

Purdue's 2012 Recruiting Class
Nationally Ranked #1

[LC AAU]

You have a lot of tough losses to Graduation and pro.

Rough losses, especially Chase.

I was deeply sadden to see Mark Chase leave. He was first 5 star recruit I ever got on this game, and in the Dynasty. He'll be missed, that's for sure. Everyone else leaving like Kawann, Caleb, Antavian, those hurt too, but this recruiting class makes me feel a little better.

I am going to put some recruiting restrictions on my front page, because I could of easily got 10 5*'s this class.

Preseason lookout of Purdue's offense for 2013


QB
It looks like the quarterback position could be the weak point for the Boilermakers this year. Rob Henry will be the starting QB when the season starts, but don't be surprised if he struggles and Najee Tyler comes in and becomes the starter. Be on the lookout for Michael Bell, this kid is a stud. The #2 QB in last season recruiting class will be redshirted this season, but he'll be starting next year, and that's a fact.

RB/FB
The running attack was Purdue's weakness last year, and this year it seems as if it will be the strong point. Al - Terek McBurse improved him overall game this off season. He is a Preseason All American, and Purdue is going to accept a lot of him.

WR
If the Purdue Quarterbacks can get the ball to these receivers, it's going to be a fun year. Purdue will be running 4 out sets all game with this receiving corps. Expect David Graham to dominate this group.

TE
Losing Gabe Holmes sure hurts, but at least Purdue has some talent still. Edward Johnson is a pure Senior this year and he'll be looking to make the most of his opportunity to shine. John Gilliam could have a great season with his combination of speed and strength.

Tackles
Bob Thomas and Justin Kitchens will be taking over the reigns of the Tackle positions again this season. Shawn and Nick Williams are special young talent behind both Kitchens and Thomas, so once they graduated, Purdue has depth.

Guards
Bryan Bailey has been one of the best offensive linemen at Purdue since Matt Light. Entering his Senior season, he'll want to be remember as the best offensive linemen to ever play at Purdue

Centers
With center Andrew Brewer graduating last year, the Boilermakers had no centers on their roster. The converted Guard Karl Horne to center, and he was expected to play second fiddle behind Freshman sensation Mike Coleman, who can play both Guard positions and Center. But Horne improved greatly over the off season, thus allowing him to snatch the starting job. Coleman will be redshirted. Stay tuned for your defensive outlook for 2013!

Preseason lookout of Purdue's defense for 2013


LE
Luke Bowman was a beast last season, racking up eight sacks in his Freshman season. Expect so Sophomore slump from Luke

RE
Kenneth Blanchard had a disappointing 2012 season, recording on 3 sacks and 40 tackles. But in the off season, he was probably the most improved player in the nation, let alone the team. I expect big things from Kenneth and Luke.

DT
Purdue lost the most deadly combo's of DT's the NCAA has ever seen in Kawann Short and Monore Brooks. But James Berry and Brennan Jones should be solid replacements for this season.

LB
Purdue lost a lot of depth at the linebacker position, but it looks like they have 2 of the three spots locked up for the future in Freshman sensation John Hawkins and Sophomore MLB Caleb Medlock. John Hawkins was the #1 FS in this past years recruiting class, but with the Boilermakers having a log jam at the Safety position, they decided to give him the starting job at LOLB. He shouldn't disappoint. Caleb Medlock had 9 interceptions in his Freshman season.NINE! That's un-heard of for a MLB. Expect that number to drop, but the tackles number to increase.

CB
Dominic Clarke is the kid Purdue Boilermaker fans have been raving about. He is one of the best Corner Backs in the nation, and he's only recorded 1 Tackle in his collegiate career. Why? He was trapped in Ohio State's never ending depth chart, and we came to Purdue to change their history of their secondary. Another player that could change that is Freshman Marcus Berry. This kid will be starting next year, in his first year.

FS
Ishmael Aristide went down with a season ending injury last year in Purdue's loss to the eventual National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes. His backup Ryan Taylor played great, but he will be getting a redshirt this year. Why is that you ask? So he can step in next season and start his final 3 years in black and gold. In the mean time, expect Ishmael to ballhawk his way into the Purdue record books.

SS
Losing Mark Chase is obviously going to give any team a huge loss in talent, but Purdue's loss isn't that bad. Sophomore Ryan Harrison can step in and give the same type of presence as Chase, but he is not as fast nor big.

K/P
Isaac Sullivan will once again be the starting kicker and punter on this team, but next season, watch out for Jared Brewster, this kid has a boot!

I hope you enjoyed the team preview. Lets cheer on the Boilers for another great season!

huge class that just left for you bro. looking forward to alex ryan and sean bean progressing. good luck this year

Yeah, it's gonna be tough putting in all the new guys but I'm up to the challenge. My secondary is really deep this year, I love it.

[LC AAU]

Really like the look of your offense this season. As long as the QB play is decent, you should be able to score a good bit. Good luck this season.

Thanks man. I really hope that my QB can be consistent, that's all I need and I feel as if my team can contend for another trip to the NC.

Putting up update now.

I made everyone around the 70-74 range. Obviously so positions will be a bit higher because they only have the major skills (QB,RB) but everyone else i made pretty decent. Like I said I'm starting the update now.
