Depends what coach is brought in. Kelsey has done pretty well in year 1 with a 100% new team. May is doing well in year 1. Pope is absolutely killing it with a 100% new team. Beard took two years but it's also Ole Miss. It all just depends on the next guy. I don't consider Sisley to be a guy that'll be an impact player year 1 to begin with.
Obviously at this point, if you have a chance to come to Purdue and you'd rather go play for Woodson at IU, I'd say #1, you're not very intelligent and #2 you're likely not a Purdue type guy anyway.
I was at the game and there was nothing better to hear than the Fire Woodson chants from the student section. Cheerleaders tried to drown them out but it didn't work.
The difference is less the approach than the quality of the coach. I don't see Woodson having much of a plan. You can make either "school" work if you have a good enough plan and coaching to make it work.
Exactly.
Some 'experts' have told us for years that Purdue doesn't have either. After last year, they appear to have backed off on declaring the quality of the coach is mediocre, but they continue to claim that the approach is wrong.

He knew what Purdue and iu were when he committed. Iu has been garbage for a while, and Purdue has been a top team for a while. He made his bed, now he can lie in it.

I'm guessing Painter told him he would like to develop him to be like Robbie Hummel. IU can show him the path of Galloway and say, "This could be you!"
I’m pretty sure Painter has used the word loyalty when talking about the portal and player retention. Perhaps he considers development in the loyalty equation, I don’t know.
I think a good example is Jacobsen. I don’t see Painter recruiting over DJ but I could see him adding a backup for that position. I suppose that would be more of a replacement for Furst but I’m pretty sure DJ is considered the starting five going into next season. But Painter has been pretty clear about retention along with development as being most important to him when discussing the subject.
I mean he absolutely would recruit a better player over DJ. He seems like a nice kid but he's played one game for us. There's no evidence this far that no better player can be found in the next four years and if Painter finds one that fits I'd expect that he'd recruit him
