He’s from W Lafayette - my family is from there. If you’re born and raised in that city, you’re going to Purdue. Great engineering.

Engineering in a Big 10 school (Purdue, especially) = VERY SMART KID Going to work his butt off

Miami has an excellent Engineering program.

Excellent? Miami is ranked #99 engineering school according to US News. Purdue is #8 (Michigan #6 & USC #25 - which is why he's visited those recently).

You don't go there if you're serious about football.

He just got moved up to the #12 overall recruit and #1 string side defensive end by 247 sports.

"George Karlaftis, DE, West Lafayette (Ind.) HS – Could this be Purdue’s biggest commit since Ryan Kerrigan? It sure looks like Karlaftis has that kind of upside. The local kid with elite athleticism was outstanding in Ohio. He also has every trait we look for in five-star level kids as a multi-sport athlete with elite verified testing numbers who is a state champion shot-putter and plays all over the field for his high school. Karlaftis will have a chance to earn a fifth star at The Opening Finals this summer and he’s been moved up to the No. 12 player in the country."
 
Really really dumb if we aren't going after him hard

Kul can go eat a bag of **** filled doughnuts

Unfortunate, but if engineering is 100% his major, he most certainly isn't coming here.

There was some OL recruit years ago we were after who picked Duke over us due to academics. It doesn't happen often, probably far less than it should as you're more likely to use it than make the next level.

If the kid wants an engineering degree, Purdue is one of the best university's in the country to get one. They offer over a dozen different disciplines ranging from aerospace, tech, biomedical, and industrial just to name a few. More power to him. Can't get 'em all - can't take 'em all.

Anyone know what Cal Tech and MIT's football teams look like this season?

What's your point? We have posters who went ape**** with glee when we surpassed UF in school rankings. They acted like that would be a game changer when a recruit said they were serious about their academics. This was under Golden, so I suppose it was maybe just people trying to get excited about something as the program was a dumpster fire.

Apparently this kid is serious about engineering. There's a bunch of quality football programs who are 50 places higher, Not just one or two as there was with us and UF. So it would stand to reason he could choose Purdue on this. In particular when two of those include a too 10 ranking in that pursuit.

Wasn't a shot at you. I was just trying to (humorously) point out that there are limits to those professed academic pursuits.

I'm also on record as saying US News's methodology is a joke, but that's a whole other thing.

His late father, the UM alum, was an engineering professor. Too bad UM doesn't have a better engineering program.
