He wouldn’t have signed 6 players if that were the case. And Gillis did stay 5 years since he redshirted his freshman year. He was a ‘19 recruit.

I think he had an honest discussion about what their minutes would look like next year and let them decide.

Morton played 25 mpg as a sophomore and isn’t as good/sought after as Gillis. I never said he’d be a centerpiece. You can play 30 mpg and not be a centerpiece. Loyer played 28 mpg and wasn’t a centerpiece. Gillis can absolutely get those minutes. Hunter got 34 mpg at Butler and he wasn’t close to their best player.

Not painted over when you had 2 guys graduate. That was always part of the plan hence why Painter signed 6. Those discussions happened with Morton and Gillis before the season. The same situation happened with Eric Hunter. He let CMP know he wasn’t coming back and when he changed his mind later on, Painter had already moved on so he ended up at Butler.

It hasn’t yet aside from losing Nijel Pack. It clearly didn’t hurt with the incoming recruiting class and won’t with Sisley.

lol if you don’t think he can get 30+ minutes a game at a P6 school. He’s not leaving for lack of NIL support. Why do you think he’s leaving?

Gillis was doing very well for himself NIL-wise and every Purdue fan has known since the year started that Morton and Gillis weren’t coming back to use their Covid year. Gillis wants to play more and will get that chance someplace else. That’s all it is lol. Purdue has yet to lose a current player because of NIL concerns.

I’m sure he had plenty of conversations with Painter about what his role would look like next year. He’s been at Purdue 5 years and likely wants to go somewhere he can get 30+ minutes a game next year and a nice NIL payday. He won’t get that at Purdue.

I mean anything can happen but it’d be pretty shocking if any of them did.

Other teams already tried to poach him for a lot of money and he didn’t leave. Doubt he’d do it now.

Guess it depends on what you think would surprise/disappoint us? I’d say I’m extremely confident Smith, Loyer, TKR, Colvin, and Heide are staying and those are the only guys I’d be disappointed in losing tbh.

With Morton and Gillis not coming back, I believe we’re only 1 over now.

Feel like he’d be highly-sought after but I’m guessing he has a good idea where he’s going.

None of the senior class was expected back hence why we signed 6 freshmen. My guess is ND with Shrewsberry.

That was @Purdue7 but I think Furst stays tbh.

Lol if you actually think that’s why he doesn’t take shots outside of 5 feet.

Because he gets such a high percentage shot at the rim. Why go for a much lower percentage attempt? That’s dumb basketball. I’d imagine he expands his shot at the next level.

Mid to late 2nd round would be way off every projection I’ve seen but it’s possible. Doubt it tbh.

I’m guessing they see a guy who continues to improve every year. He’s only been playing basketball for 6 years and with his dominant 2-year stretch, someone will take a chance on him.

The lowest I’ve seen him is late first/early second.

Prepare to be shocked lol.

Yeah that’s valid. I loved Jones but definitely think we can replace that production with some of the younger guys coming in and guys like Colvin and Heide with increased roles. Replacing Edey won’t be easy of course but it’ll be fun to watch what CMP comes up with.

Wasn’t that one in Mackey?

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something more similar to when we had Haarms. Have to see what we have with Berg but Jacobsen is going to be a good one for us.

Clingan can shoot out to the 3 point line? He took 8 all season and hit 2. I wouldn’t go as far as saying he can do that. I think Edey could hit 2 out of 8 if he wanted to. We’ll have to agree to disagree about the no future comment.
