It's all starting to become so clear now.So now we know Lenny is Tom Crean.
So not only out of touch, you're a liar as well. Got it.I've recruited 7, landed 3. You asked, I answered.
Yeh, I'm so out of touch. What's this Twitter thing again?
That is actually an insult to Tom Crean.So now we know Lenny is Tom Crean.

Alright name names and we'll verify. Being out of touch as you are, you likely don't understand how google works and the wealth of information out there. So give us names, schools and the dates to back your claims up. Or, which is more likely, you are just blowing smoke our of your ass.
You're the one that said it. Only one being dumb here is you.Hopefully you're not that dumb.....or gullible.
This has been explained to you, with proof, time and time again. You're just ignoring it all to try and save face on the internet.I'm still trying to understand though, why you would say I'm out of touch with today's 16-18 yr olds? What am I missing? What's this piece of the recruiting puzzle that has to do with weather, beaches, girls, and nightlife that I'm unaware of that sways a 5 star recruits decision away from Purdue?
But, I'll ask again, if those things were important, why don't Miami, USC, Rutgers, Ole Miss, AZ St and others have dominant recruiting?

No the proof has been in the countless times you have brought it up and so many people have given more than enough evidence to show how wrong you are. You just choose to ignore it.Is your proof the article from the division 3 pitcher? That's hardly 'proof'. His recruiting experience is not even in the same ball park as a 5 star basketball recruit with NBA potential.
Not correct. My contention is that what is important to one recruit is not necessarily important to another. You assume that everyone is the same and wants the same things and that couldn't be further from the truth.Well, just for clarification then: Your basic premise is that there's a lot of factors that go into the final decision of where a 5 star recruit chooses to go but the head coach is not the most important one.

You know though you say that recruiting a 5 star with NBA hopes is different than recruiting a 5 star with MLB hopes, but how can that be? According to you everything is the same so all the same rules apply.

Same question can be asked of all the other schools that don't land 5 stars on the regular. Which only a handful of schools "qualify" for that 5 star lottery usually and there are only so many 5 stars to go around.So, why do you think that only a single 5 star recruit out of several hundred has said yes to Painter in 16 years?
Is it Painter or Purdue?
I have a hard time believing it's Purdue.
Perfect way to end this discussion. He is never going to understand what goes in to recruiting, so it's rather just best to let him throw his tantrum when a player picks someone else and just move on as he can no longer be taken seriously nor actually debate anything factual. I've learned that the hard way through this whole thing lately.Same question can be asked of all the other schools that don't land 5 stars on the regular.

I know you're trying to pin this on Painter somehow lenny, but you're argument just doesn't hold nay water. Basically you're creating a problem that doesn't exist.

No, it's been addressed many times to you, you just choose to ignore it. Kind of like how I have now told you the same thing several times in the thread.Yet, you refuse to address the question?

I'm actually really starting to question whether you are even a Purdue grad to begin with. Either way, your questions have been answered both in this thread and others and by links/facts/etc sent to you every time you bring this up and I am done wasting time on it. Your questions have been answered, you're either just really dense or purposely ignoring it. Maybe a bit of both.
How is that in any way relevant given your premise that recruiting five stars is all about the coach? Two coaches , including Painter, have been at their school that long. Three of 14 coaches have been at their school for 10+ seasons. Half have coached five season or fewer. I posted last week the number of Big10 schools that have signed one or more five stars in the last six years. Short list.It would be interesting to know, how many B10 schools have landed 1 or more 5 stars in the 16 years Painter has been at PU?
Off the top of my head, I can name MSU, Maryland, UM, OSU, iu, maybe WI, IL. MN? Doubtful for Iowa, NU, UN, Rut, PSU,

Not sure the source but that doesn't look right. A quick Google search shows that in Michigan's Fab Five class Chris Webber was #1 nationally, Juwan Howard #3, Jalen Rose #6 and Jimmy King #9. Maybe this doesn't go back that far, which would explain why Big Dog doesn't show up for Purdue?Here's the all-time list. However, are they counting Big Dog or Biggie as our 1 5 star?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since 1980, the only B10 teams not to make a FF are P, NU, UN, PSU, Rut. ( I realize Purdue went in 1979 as that was right before Keady's first year).

The line I bolded nukes his entire premise from orbit. It's ironic IU gets used to add to the mountain of information proving him wrong, but still, well done.Not sure the source but that doesn't look right.

Regardless of the time frame it is interesting that by far the highest counts are with MSU, IU and OSU. With MSU you can't separate the coach from the school, but for IU and OSU they've both had a bunch of coaches come through in the last 20 to 30 years, so it would seem to indicate that the school, not just the coach, is important in attracting five stars.

Illinois has had multiple 5 star recruits since 1980. Marcus Liberty was the number one player in the country. Nick AHere's the all-time list. However, are they counting Big Dog or Biggie as our 1 5 star?
