With Holmgren and Furst available in 2021, I think Dickinson, a traditional big, would be the best complement to either of those pickups.
Kalkbrenner
- Thread starter KentuckyBoiler
- Start date
He appears to be the least interested however, so you take either top 75 guys rather than strike out and get none.
Boomer Esiason played here?
Kalkbrenner is more of a 5 Haarms type. Good to have a shot blocker to protect the rim with our defensive intensity out front. Holmgren/Furst would shift to forward which is what they want I believe.
Another crystal ball coming into view for Purdue @ 10:12pm 9/5/19. Louisville Insider just went w/Kalkbrenner to Purdue...up to 50% for Purdue.

Yes, take the first commit. Was just stating my ideal circumstance.
Trinity's Ryan Kalkbrenner is setting the recruiting world on fire ...https://www.youtube.com › watch
Nice touch from outside w/good foot movement! After watching the highlights of both Dickinson and Kalkbrenner...Kalkbrenner appears to have quicker foot speed and greater range on his shot. I like Kalkbrenner's potential...he will grow into his body and you cannot teach that 7'6" inch wingspan .

Purdue seemed to have done just fine last year with a Haarms-type 5 and a Trevion sprinkled in.
We are now up to 50% on 247Sports from 20% 2 days ago
Landing Kaufman early would be a good thing as I feel his recruiting is going to blow up like Ivey’s. He is a big that can shoot very well. I could see a lot of interest from Purdue.
I know Purdue will be hard after Furst as well. First to offer him and have Ivey recruiting him hard. Landing Furst and Kaufman would be a heck of a haul adding to what Purdue already has. If you offered that to me today, I would take it and say thank you. Painter can win with those types of players. Especially if they stick around for a few years and get seasoned.
If they took a third in that class, my guess is that it would be a guard. Not sure if it would be a big multi-positional type guard, PG, or one that can shoot (or all three in one if I am not being too picky).
Purdue has momentum and it is continuing to build off it. Landing a class loaded with top instate/national talent would be fantastic. Would love to see Purdue be the team to beat with all Indiana recruits. Getting players like Ivey, IT, Newman, and Gillis and keeping them in state has been extremely refreshing.
It will be great for Kaufman to be around the 2019 and 2020 class guys this weekend to see who he would be playing with.
It would also be great to get someone that is in UL and IU’s backyards.
Yet another CB for Kalkbrenner to Purdue...3 in 2 days!!!! This time...it is Chris Fisher Recruiting Insider for Cats Pause who sees images of Kalkbrenner in Black and Gold in his crystal ball. 9/6/19 @1128am
Let's go get Kaufman too while the iron is hot...Special Ks (Kalkbrenner and Kaufman).
How many schollies in 2021 are available?

Currently 2 - Haarms and Eastern are the only two juniors. If nobody leaves the program (transfers, profesional ball, etc.), then that's what we will have. If a couple players declare for the draft, I think we as fans would be okay with that as it would likely mean we had a very successful year! However, if everyone is back for the 2020-2021 season, LOOK OUT!
Painter wants an elite shooter in every class so I’d guess the last would be a SG/SF
I don’t think Purdue would take 2 PFs in a two man class would they?
Holmgren is all world, so I’m not holding my breath on him.
I haven’t heard anything about Christie lately either...
I honestly feel we can land anyone. We are starting to become a spot light for players. CMP has become so good at making players better along with winning. We will most likely have 3 top 100 for 2020. I think it will even get better for 2021.
let's add a bit of O and drill workBoomer Esiason played here?
Kalkbrenner is more of a 5 Haarms type. Good to have a shot blocker to protect the rim with our defensive intensity out front. Holmgren/Furst would shift to forward which is what they want I believe.
Kaufman is the elite shooter.
6’8 athletic shooter. Could play the 3. His game is very different than Furst. Would absolutely take both in a heartbeat.
not that he appears to be quicker, but is much quicker...much more versatile. Pair him with Holmgren and nobody beats them. they can go out on the court and inside..open it up for drivers and drive the ball themselves..and apparently can hit a jumper. I'll be very happy if Kalbrenner says Purdue...and probably die with a smile if it is followed up with Holmgren
I would not complain with any combination of the big kids we have in the recruiting mix but I too like the style of play Kal brings. Paired with Holmgren the next year might be the best 4 / 5 combination ever at Purdue. The length, athleticism and skills of each, especially Holmgren, are freakish. Holmgren is a two guard trapped in 7’ body. Must be tough be him.
You have three bigs inside the top 76 I think, seriously interested in Purdue, why would you fold up shop on 2020?
The football team and fans put on a good display for the basketball recruits. And the weather is perfect. Close the deal, coaches.

I looked at Kalkbrenner's 247 page last weekend and seem to recall it showed 57% Purdue, 29% undecided and 14% Illinois. Now it shows 14% Kansas?
Any feedback from his official visit last weekend?

Yep
We have an in home visit on Thursday though:
We have an in home visit on Thursday though:
Of course. Just when things seemed to be swaying Purdue’s way. Hopefully it doesn’t end up like Malik Hall and Michigan State
We have the combo of a top 10 engineering school with a basketball crazy fan base and great coaching. Hope this sways him.
I believe he backed off Illinois because they were late in offering and how they handled his recruitment. Perhaps it will be the same for Kansas.
I wonder if the offer came from KU after center Mady Sissicko committed to M$U. Edit: Sissoko
It's never a good thing when M$U gets involved, directly or indirectly.
I trust that recruits are more aware of the make-up of the teams recruiting them than 247 is. Someone pointed out a few months ago that 247 is claiming that Purdue already has 5 centers on the team. It's still there.

They are still counting Haas and Swanigan.

They are still counting Haas and Swanigan.
Also shows Haarms as a sophomore still.
Glad to not see a Kalkbrenner decision after Stanford and KU visited with him. Hopefully Painter can use the in-home visit to tie up any potential loose ends or unanswered questions from this past weekend's official visit and close the deal!
Are the five all named Ryan Cline? Asking for a friend...
