Monday Morning Purdue Recruiting Roundup: June 11
With all that's going on in football recruiting this summer with the introduction of summer official visits, GoldandBlack.com introduces a new weekly feature — the Monday Morning Purdue Recruiting Roundup.
Three big visitors: Purdue's first big official visit weekend of the summer is in the books. It hosted the following three players.
The Louisville Moore D-end/linebacker is one of Purdue's highest priorities regardless of position, and the Boilermakers have his ear, have for a long time now, as he's visited West Lafayette at least four times now. Georgia's offered and Louisville and Kentucky will fight like crazy to keep him in-state.
The dynamic offensive athlete used his first official visit on Purdue.
The competition for him will be daunting, as Ohio State and Michigan have offered, at least verbally, to go along the fights that Louisville and Kentucky and long-standing contender Duke will put up.
But Purdue does have cache with offensive skill players and advocates in Kentucky supporting its pitch.
By past standards, it's taken forever for the quarterback position to resolve itself. Closure might be nearing, though, as Piferi said he'll decide in coming days.
