Let me know if my math is wrong.

The number was upped to 15 (+2)
Furst graduated (+1)
Berg, Heide, Colvin *corrected* transfer (+3)
Once incoming freshman (-1)
Three incoming portal (-3)

Am I missing anything?

I wish everyone PEACE, JOY, AND HAPPINESS.

Treat others as you want to be treated and love thy neighbor.

This guy should be tied tied down spread-leg in the sodomy ward of that El Salvador prison.

Interesting, though I don't know anything about the guy providing the opinions.

Also speculates on his NBA plans

That didn't last long.

All the BT teams except Illinois, Michigan, Michigan St, Ohio St, and Purdue have front courts, 13 of the other teams are desperate for front line players and the Portal is drying up with quality Bigs. Three teams might be done shopping, Northwestern, Ohio St and Purdue. Half of the league has less than 10 filled grants. Michigan, Illinois and Maryland probably will be hurt by the NBA draft! As of today, 1035 players have entered the Portal with only 411 committed (40%). The Portal will be a loser for most of the players in the Portal, K-Mart blue light specials will start to happen as players look for a bench to park on for next year! There are only a few gems left.

BREAKING: #Purdue women’s basketball lands commitment from Arkansas transfer guard Kiki Smith. Smith averaged 10.2 points per game last season and shot 40% from three-point range.

Put Mayer on the floor with Braden ,Loyer, , TKR and Cluff......one on one baby, can run some good stuff. Then shooting 42% from 3 on avg , maybe higher.

Then at break DJ , Liam, Cox, Harris, Benter/West ....that is an intense 40 minutes and throw in healthy Burgess.

What a group , lots of combinations, can't wait to watch.

Expected to be ready for the season.

I'm comfortable in saying that with the current players and additions that we are final 4 team next year. Anything less would be a disappointment.

Returners: Smith, Loyer, Harris, Cox, TKR, Jacobsen, Burgess & Benter.
Additions: Cluff, Mayer, Murphy & West

Mayer looks really impressive to me. I would say he's ahead of Smith as a Freshman in my eyes.
Three point shooters everywhere, good rebounders, best guards in all of NCAA, rim protector and a strong bench.

Would loved to have Colvin or Heide return for athleticism but I understand why they needed a new scenery. Not sure if we will get anyone else but as of now this looks like a final 4 team to me. Boiler up.

Just entered the portal, I heard she wants to play D-1 again, wonder if Purdue is an option? She played at IUN this past year and was player of the year in the conference, she averaged like 10 a game at Butler in her 1 season there a few years ago.

From the Tuskegee Airmen to Jackie Robinson to the Black Museum to now Harriet Tubman. Flavor Aiders explain to me, why mess with Harriet Tubman and other black figures in history? Why is it important for y'all to remove black history.

Hopefully this is mostly eliminating players not expected to participate.

BREAKING: #Purdue lands Tulane offensive line transfer Jude McCoskey. He was a two-year starter at Indiana State before transferring to Tulane earlier this off-season.

BREAKING: #Purdue women’s basketball lands commitment from Arkansas transfer guard Kiki Smith. Smith averaged 10.2 points per game last season and shot 40% from three-point range.

Will Berg's career will continues at Wichita State next season.

247 reports these 2026 recruits/players as having warm interest in Purdue: Taylen Kinney (pg), Junior County (sg), Brandon Bass Jr (sg), Steven Reynolds (sg), Bo Ogden (sf) Trey Thompson (pf) to go along with Luke Ertel (cg) who is committed…

Sure would like him to reconsider staying, he might finally see some playing time!

when it will be officially 'legal' for the team and coaching staff to hold scrimmage/practice?

Today starts Passion Week for Christians and my son asked if CBO was a Christian. I didn't know the answer and was curious if anyone on here knows?

May your week feel different as you grow closer to Jesus this special week.

so yeah the bar from Walters is pretty low, but I just get this sense of optimism from the players that are getting signed to come play and the coaching staff's ability to resurrect a program.

Sure we don't have a ton of world beaters... yet... but that will change with winning and getting the foundation to get there seems to be taking shape.

Next season can't get here soon enough to see if it all pans out.......
