What is the Newman/Franklin deal?
Why don't you just copy and paste the iu board post? Don't you want to give credit to your source? Or are you wanting everyone here to think you're somehow connected to these players?
He also liked Isaiah’s lol tweet after Armaan committed to IU.
Lol what are you talking about? I've been very forward that this is all coming from the IU boards and national analysts.
Just cut and paste. Would that be easier than retyping everything?
Is it just me or does it seem like Izzo has an unlimited amount of scholarships available to him every season?
Or maybe he wants to see the other places to make him know Purdue is the right place for him.
This is me being pessimistic but it’s feeling like the JJJ recruitment to me.
UGH really didn't want to see that, oh well!! CMP needs to start winning some of these recruiting battles!
I've often wondered with statements like these, what else do you think Painter could do? In this case it is clear he has been in on Hall for quite some time and telling him what he evidently needs to hear. Aside from breaking the rules, it is still the recruits decision on where he wants to go and Painter can only do so much.
Closers close. Those that can't hope and pray.
I’m not sure what Is being said on a premium site but my son said the visit went really well both had a great time. As a mother who went through this process sometimes as a recruit you are looking at fit, style of play and opportunities to as a freshman even tho you still have to earn playing time. Sometimes it’s just the name of a school or Coach whose coaching that team that have the recruits intrigued. I’m sure many of you on here read me say many times that the offense they ran last season wasn’t suited how my son played. My son is a playing making guard who excels in transition up tempo style. He’s great in ball screens action that allows him to get to the basket shoot his jumper or find his teammates if the lane gets closed. I’ll say this again painter keeps it real he makes no promises your playing time is earned. He’s upfront how he sees you playing in his offense while stressing how important playing defense is too that many many freshmen forget they have to do that when they get to college. I believe with the personnel he has on this team this season the offense will look a lot different that will cater to the strengths of this team and that if I’m Hall he would fit nicely into the offense how the team makeup may be moving forward. Painter is a good dude they don’t sell a pipe dream or promises that so many of these recruits want to at least hear especially the so call top recruits but rather tell you what he knows bcuz he has seen you play and sees opportunities for you if you come in and earn. I’ll admit is was tough last season not seeing my son play more min than he did bcuz he worked hard in practice but I also understood as well bcuz there was things he needed to work on and things he had to adjust to and when he finally figured some of those things out it start showing on the court. Looking forward to a hellava season from my young king he’s worked hard all off season to get prepared for this season. He’s waited his turn and now he’s ready to step into his new role leading this team like those who just left and help this team not only win games but take this team to a big 10 title and national championship.
Fair enough.For starters he could change his recruiting pitch.Telling these 4-5* athletes of today you come here and play tough defense you'll have a chance to play I don't think it cuts it anymore.How many times have we heard that recruit x's parents just love CMP evidently the recruit doesn't because they usually wind up somewhere else.That's all.
You'all understand that Painter has won a good many of these recruiting battles, right? Take a look at the offers some of our current players had. Those are all wins against those schools.
Biggie, Etwaan, JJ, Hummel, Martin. 4 of the 5 were from 1 class over 10 years ago though... when we had an elite recruiter.
That number sometimes means nothing. Shai Alexander was a 4 star recruit. The kid from texas tech wasn’t I don’t think a top 100 kid but both were 1st round picks. I wouldn’t put to much stock into 50 to 100 range recruits when many top 50 recruits don’t pan out in college cuz some are over hyped. Brandon Newman from Kansas trevon duval Duke Marques bolden Duke and many more AA top 50ish recruits don’t sometimes change the complexion of your team.
Most of the time 5* players perform as expected. For every Marques Bolden there are 10 Caleb Swanigan type players. Trevon Duval averaged 10 points and 6 assists for one of the best teams in the country, so I wouldn't call him a bust at the college level.
I was referring to the Rivals rankings since we're on a rivals board:
You are correct sir but when those players go to Kentucky and the blue blood teams they go there for 1 reason only hoping to either be 1 N Done for the exposure and there expectations are higher than those who don’t so when they don’t reach there destination NBA its seen as a bust in so many words. But I actually agree with your statement.
...and the tears of a clown...
It's been discussed on here 100s of times.
