You won’t find a bigger supporter of Purdue and Purdue athletics than me. Gillis is a 6’5” PF. He will be a solid role player imo. I’m glad he committed, but Painter needs to land serious talent in the 2019 class.

Nah, but if I need a douche I'll know who to call.Pitbull needs some tissues lol
But wait, the 'experts' on here keep telling us Painter can't recruit or develop players. You mean they were wrong again? I am shocked!All the IU trolls downplaying his size LOL...………..not falling off my chair here.
247:
"Currently this pledge bumps Purdue up to No. 10 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings, with the No. 2 class in the Big Ten. Look for the Boilermakers to continue to try and add shooting on the wing, and potentially even another big to round out what could be an impressive 2019 recruiting haul."
Well played.Nah, but if I need a douche I'll know who to call.
He committed to Ball St. at the same time Gills committed .Luke Bumbalough. He currently has offers from IUPUI, Fort Wayne, and Miami (OH).
He is a very good receiver, and he has D-1 offers for that as well.
This is a thread about Purdue getting a really good young man, and you and pitbull are looking for any way to turn it into an argument.But wait, the 'experts' on here keep telling us Painter can't recruit or develop players. You mean they were wrong again? I am shocked!

No, we are just tired of people like you blasting Painter when clearly you have no idea what you are talking about and he keeps getting players in the NBA and pulling in the players he needs that are good and is successful.This is a thread about Purdue getting a really good young man, and you and pitbull are looking for any way to turn it into an argument.
Yes frequently during the season. Go back and look if you want, or just wait for the first loss we have.However, since you clearly want it... has anyone said Painter can't develop talent? Has anyone said Painter can't recruit players outside the top 100?
Yes it does. But you being an iu fan and all won't see it anyway since it is so far over your head.This commitment does nothing to prove the "Painter needs to be better in recruiting " posters wrong.
I already have thrown it in your faces because what I posted is 100% accurate and you being so triggered proves the point.If he adds Hall, TJD, Brooks, or another top 50 player to this class, feel free to come back here and throw it in our faces.
Seriously why stir the pot? It's very easy to just let those posts he does go and not respond.This is a thread about Purdue getting a really good young man, and you and pitbull are looking for any way to turn it into an argument.

Once again, you choose to call me out instead of the guy that started all of this. I let pit's troll attempts go. It's clear they weren't going to stop until someone jumped in.Seriously why stir the pot? It's very easy to just let those posts he does go and not respond.
He isn't wrong in a couple things he says in regards to what people have said about Painter over the years, but responding to a troll post is what derails things so often on here .
I'm not at all upset. I'm considering the source. I'm sure in your mind you truly believe you are 100% right.No, we are just tired of people like you blasting Painter when clearly you have no idea what you are talking about and he keeps getting players in the NBA and pulling in the players he needs that are good and is successful.

You're clearly quite triggered. And I know I'm right because it's happened so often on here. Again, you're an iu fan so I don't expect you to get it.I'm not at all upset. I'm considering the source. I'm sure in your mind you truly believe you
The first time I called you both out. This time I ignored the posts that we're clearly "bait" posts and focused on you for propagating them. See the difference?Once again, you choose to call me out instead of the guy that started all of this. I let pit's troll attempts go. It's clear they weren't going to stop until someone jumped in.
If the initial posts had never happened, I would have no reason to respond. If you are only going to comment on my posts with your holier than thou attitude, then maybe it's time you put me on ignore.The first time I called you both out.

I have news for you, you "jumping in" isn't going to stop them at all. It only makes the situation worse.
Have a good day.You're clearly quite triggered. And I know I'm right because it's happened so often on here. Again, you're an iu fan so I don't expect you to get it.
I enjoyed you more when you argued with wolegab...this isnt quite the same...You're clearly quite triggered. And I know I'm right because it's happened so often on here. Again, you're an iu fan so I don't expect you to get it.
You have no reason to respond whether the initial post happens or not. Everyone else pretty much ignored it so why can't you? It's not hardIf the initial posts had never happened, I would have no reason to respond. If you are only going to comment on my posts with your holier than thou attitude, then maybe it's time you put me on ignore.
Well you have to take in to consideration who I am arguing against. When they lack the cognitive ability to argue in the first place, then you aren't left with much to work with.I enjoyed you more when you argued with wolegab...this isnt quite the same...
You will have to work a little harder to hurt my feelings. I just think it's BS that you are calling me and not the troll. Anyways, have a good day.You have no reason to respond whether the initial post happens or not. Everyone else pretty much ignored it so why can't you? It's not hard
Anyway, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. Carry on

Boiler Up
Thanks for your contributions, detective.You're the troll here.
I'm far from being a Purdue fan but I'm a former New Castle resident and I've seen Gillis play quite a bit (from elementary to present).
He'a legit 6'6", maybe 6'7". He's really expanded his perimeter game over the last 18 months. He's now a solid 3 point threat. I think the comparison to Vince Edwards is a good one. Gillis can play that role and be an impact player for Purdue for four years.
More importantly, he's a great kid and really good student and will represent Purdue very well both on and off the court.
I wanted him to go to Butler but he obviously feels that Purdue is the best option for him and I hope he has a great career as a Boilermaker.
The next Purdue grad I meet that attended the IU team camp will be the first. You are a troll.Thanks for your contributions, detective.
If you are talking about me being an "IU troll down playing his size", then you couldn't be more wrong. I was literally standing right there yesterday when Gillis was measured at IU. He is 6'6". That's not down playing his size. That's providing facts.
Wow, beat me to it by a few!The next Purdue grad I meet that attended the IU team camp will be the first. You are a troll.
My roommate has a relative on the CG basketball coaching staff, and my former team (NC) was playing. It's really not that hard to figure out, buddy.The next Purdue grad I meet that attended the IU team camp will be the first. You are a troll.
News flash, iu doesn't play at their team camp. It's a camp where high school teams around the state go to compete. New Castle (my former team) was playing Center Grove (my roommate's family member's team). We went to watch them play.Just out of curiosity, why would a die hard PU fan be watching IU at their team camp in Bloomington? Am I not understanding this correctly? Serious question......maybe I missed out if you said you were a coach or affiliated with IU and PU somehow?
You just don't understand the irony of you posting on the Purdue board about how little you care about us.Go ahead, discuss it again. It seems Purdue fans love to discuss IU, even on the day that they pick up a commitment from a recruit. A surprising amount of posts on this forum discuss IU; for a fanbase that says they don't care about us, it seems like a lot. Believe it or not, on the premium forum at Inside The Hall, we really don't discuss Purdue that much. No big news over there at the moment, so I'm bored, that's why I'm here tonight.

Let me get this straight, Gillis was at an IU team camp and then the next day commits to Purdue? Sounds good to me .News flash, iu doesn't play at their team camp.

I seem to remember someone saying something very similar when Vince committed.Really glad to have Gillis commit. I think he will be a solid 4-year player that we will look back on very fondly after his 4-years are done. Very pleased to have him on the team!
Like Mike in Sixteen Candles - "Classic!"Let me get this straight, Gillis was at an IU team camp and then the next day commits to Purdue? Sounds good to me .
