Shondell brought in 3 non scholie players next year, I imagine he has plans to hit the Portal, these days teams have to do it.
Right now, Purdue doesn’t have any scholarships available for next year—unless a player enters the portal. Then do you give a transfer an athletic scholarship versus one of the three players who will be freshmen next fall? Roster management has become a hot topic for all sports.
If Purdue wants to go to a Final 4 I think you hit the portal for a top flight player, either for Schermerhorn or a top not frontline player. I imagine a player or two transfers, usually the case for all teams these days. As construed Purdue will likely be a top 10 team, time for a visit to the final 4, teams like Wisky, Nebraska, Texas get top flight transfers to reload, either join them or be content being a sweet 16/elite 8 squad.
I don’t neccesarily disagree with you, but that decision on roster management is up to CDS. For the team to make that next step, it needs more help and consistent play from its middles and RS hitters. If Eva and/or Chloe go down, right now there isn‘t a viable option on the LS. Watching the Elite 8 matches, most of the teams are much more physical than Purdue. Wisconsin’s front line at 6-9, 6-7, 6-4, is bigger than some men’s mid-major basketball teams. One of the biggest questions for Purdue is: who is going to fill the opening on the coaching staff? Also, is there a transition plan for when CDS decides to retire?
CDS said that they had been practicing Kenna Wollard at the left side hitter due to the lack of backups there.
Thanks for the answer, Not going to lie, I’m
True, next year is a great shot at a Final 4, in order for that to happen though it’s likely 1 more impact player needs to be brought in. I know Dave is loyal, however, it sure would be great to finally make a Final 4. A few players probably leave, I hope a player or two that can be impactful is brought in. Wisky is probably already all over the portal looking to upgrade positions, nature of the beast these days. Purdue with a sell out gym, Chicoine/Colvin/Hudson has to be appealing to an impact player looking to play on a top 5-10 team.
Them and Wisky will get high level transfers to replace graduating players, Purdue doesn’t need a whole lot, it would be nice to get 1 high level player, next year will be a good chance at a Final 4, would love to see Shondell do it.
