If right now you told me Purdue would land Kaufman and Wesley I would take that in a heartbeat. I know Purdue is in on some other elite players, but if I could lock that into today, I’m taking it all day.
Kaufman is the best (realistic) prospect for this team. He steps in and immediately fills the biggest need. Holmgren and Furst fill the same need but Kaufman feels very realistic and would be a very solid player right away. Love the size and skill set. You pair a player like him up with these incoming guards and watch out now.
As for Wesley, what’s not to like? Good size and an in state kid. His stock is rising and he can go get buckets (went for 30+ the other day). Call me crazy, but I like him and his game more than Lander who is a 5 star. Lander is like Carsen and can create his own opportunities (looks so smooth doing it), so it certainly isn’t meant as a slight on Lander. It says more to what I think Wesley can do in multiple roles.
If I had to pick between Furst and Kaufman, to be honest it would be whoever buys in first. I would really like to see Painter land one of those guys. With as much in state talent as there is, got to nab at least one.
It’s fun to see high school basketball and seeing how the possible recruits are doing. If Wesley wasn’t on your radar already, he should be.
