This is 100% an opinion from 50,000 ft up as I have no insight into the Purdue program outside of this site, twitter etc, but it seems like Pack is the only guy Painter is really going after in the Portal? Is there anyone else? I saw Jaelin Llewellyn committed to Clemson, and that was seemingly the 2nd option for Purdue.
So, is Painter doing more recruiting among the transfer options than gets reported, or is Painter really confident he has his guy in Pack and isn't really going after anyone else aggressively?
Or, does Painter really love who he already has in the building and he's fine if Pack decides to go somewhere else...he's mentioned it multiple times throughout this past season that he is really excited about the current team but also really likes what he has in the future...he's referred to Furst as a "future all big ten player", so maybe he thinks some of the young guys are going to be much better from day 1 than the general public gives them credit for...thinking maybe TKR or Smith
