Three players for one position might make it tough. All of them are built for the 3 slot. Myles is a freak athlete and could play 2,3, and 4. At 6'6 he is the same size as Mason however I don't think we would want him to be confined to playing with his back to the basket. Kid can get his own shot and normally has to I have seen teams put a body on him when he is on defense. He has been well coached and understands angle and passing lanes. Kid can rebound with the best of them. Natural at the 3 and once he claims it he will own it. I feel for him his High School team has all the right pieces this year they just haven't figured out how to use a superstar. This may cost him legit shot at Mr.BB he has all the tools. I think he will be with us for 2 years because he reclassified up a year.
Kanon Catchings is one of the best recruits I have ever seen. He will be a one and done I am 100% convinced of that. At 6'8 and still growing he is excellent at every position on the court. He will Probably play 1-4 other than Braden Smith he will be the best passer on the team. On the same level as Fletcher shooting the 3. On the same level as Braden with his ball handling may be better. Kid is an elite defender now let alone in two years. There is not a weakness in his game that I have seen (I have watched 4 gms). With Smith, Loyer, Colvin, TKR and Furst locked in by 2024. Finding minutes for Catchings will require setting an all B1G TEN caliber player. But when a kid is a future lottery pick you will have too. He scored 33 points of 56 Saturday and won on the road against a ranked and undefeated Chesterton team. He scored from everywhere controlled the boards and deflected passes he had no right to get to. I could go on and on. I would not be surprised if he goes down as Painters best recruit ever. Love this kid someone close to him said He is projected to be 6'10" when he gets to campus. I have no Purdue player to compare him to so I will go with Cade Cunningham of the Detroit Pistons.
Jack Benter is special he does whatever his team needs from him. He reminds me of a shorter Robbie Hummel. His game is so much like Hummels it is an easy comparable. He can score from anywhere and usually does. When he drives to the basket it's almost always an and one because of his body control. He can play the point or 2,3, and 4 yes, 4 even at 6'5" he has the big body to bang with most 4's. He is a coach's kid, and it shows constantly. His dad could just set on his hands as Jack is the ultimate floor general. Painter always talks about trusting certain players well he will trust Jack. I have seen no flaws in his game and nothing he does extremely well. Maybe defending and rebounding. He is a Hummel clone able to size up his man and exploit his weaknesses. He also knows when one of teammates has an advantage and when to get him the ball and where. He will benefit from playing for Braden Smiths dad on the Under Armor circuit again this summer. Of the 3 recruits he is the only one that may stay four years, but he may also be the one to contribute the most. Smart, Confident, Capable, Skilled and Determined. Like I said Hummelish! As always just my humble opinion.
