I think he’ll commit to Purdue sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC19 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 This is a head scratcher for me. Is it possible IU offered knowing full well they wouldn’t get him? Some kind of recruiting chess game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Some kids just want to do things their way. Make their own way and have their own identity...there is always one cardinal fan in a house of cub fans...you just don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re absolutely right regarding throwing your hat in the ring. But in this case, I think it was all but over once he got the Purdue offer. Wouldn’t expect it to drag out much longer IMO.

Hoosier Diamond Hands Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 In the article that started this thread he said he was offered by Fife and Woodson. Coach Woodson is new at this but certainly Dane Fife knows enough about recruiting to avoid offering a kid who is a mortal lock for Purdue. Those father/son college connections don't always work. If they did Sean May would have been a Hoosier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He committed to UM as it was easily his best offer and then blew up his senior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC19 Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yes, I suppose it’s possible he could not go to Purdue, and yes, and he did have a great top 100 showing. But I’ve seen him play several times in person against real teams. He didn’t jump out to me as an IU-caliber player. He has skills but struggles against the good teams, doesn’t play much defense, and doesn’t really make his teammates better. BUT, I’m not a scout or a recruiter. It’s entirely possible they see something I don’t. So I’ll just sit back and wait and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious what happened in that recruitment and Painter would be the first to admit he messed that one up. Waited way too long to offer him.

He’s going to be a junior and is only 15 but is already 6’5 200 with physical gifts you can’t teach. I think that’s what excites coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
