GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 6 77
Kentucky teams' offensive numbers, a
central theme to any offensive recruit
and a sales pitch that basically already
had one recruit at "Hello."
"He was going over their receiving
stats from the last few years and then
told me I had an offer," McCoy said of
his unofficial visit, during which he
committed immediately upon being of-
fered. "I fell in love as soon as I saw the
stats. They throw the ball a lot. I had to
commit."
That reputation also certainly helped
lure Plummer, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound
QB who's expected to graduate high
school in Gilbert, Ariz., in December
and enroll at Purdue in January. He
chose Purdue over South Carolina and
a number of other higher-profile of-
fers, though he'd opted out of partici-
pating in most high-exposure sorts of
quarterback showcases in the spring.
Purdue seems to have gotten a posi-
tive response from its initial target list
in terms of getting prospects on campus,
either for junior days in the winter or
spring or camps or unofficial visits this
summer.
During those visits, the program's
new training center complex — taking
shape as its August opening nears —
has stood as a tangible, brick-and-mor-
tar symbol of the investment Purdue's
made in football and the new direction it
hopes is currently being charted.
"It's new everything, new coaching
staff, new faces," Johnson said, "and I
feel like the coaches are determined to
make it something special there, and
people are jumping on board to try to
make it a reality."
