    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    I get number 5. I think we’ve all left a job for to make more money at a company that isn’t necessarily better. I don’t love the idea but certainly understand their mindset. I get that these are still young people making big decisions around financial security. I couldn’t imagine graduating...

    Hepburn in portal

    Saw this yesterday. Wisconsin getting gutted right before the window closes. A couple of things. From what I have read from Wisconsin folks, they have NIL money but they don’t do upfront guarantees on a large scale. I think they are like Purdue where we give them something small on a monthly...

    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    Same but if Marcus Domask’s lawsuit to get eligibility because he was injured and season was cut short - we might need another year.

    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    The new normal is taking shape. Read someone say that a midmajor would benefit greatly by marketing themselves as a launch pad for kids. We will develop your skills and give you meaningful experience for 1-2 years, then go to the portal and get paid. Instead of them showcasing all the players...

    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    My opinion on the moral issue which comes in 5-10 years when your playing career is over. It isn’t immediately felt. You effectively have a piecemeal degree and limited network back to a specific university. I know I’ve leveraged the Purdue alumni network and have undergrads reach out to me...

    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    Sit out rule is dead and will never come back. The NCAA just cleared the way on this by allowing unlimited transfers.

    Question to ponder about recruiting in the NIL era......

    This is an interesting question. Saw an analyst mention something similar and wondering of burnout of collectives and donors. What happens when a collective looks back in 2-3 years and asks why they spent 200-500k on a kid who put up 6pts and 3 rebounds a game. What happens when the same folks...

    Might check the source because he just committed to Illinois.

    Speaking of the portal and potential delay in who else is leaving to make room talk. Saw this from Jeff Goodman. I noticed that Mason and Morton were at some Purdue event even though they had put their names in the portal. Is there a chance with how our NIL is structured the players are waiting...

    I just read that TKR cut off all his hair. Let the preparation begin.

    Touché. Perhaps the team was just worse than the prior year. I hope the Pistons figure it out instead of wasting his potential.

    That looks like Pedialyte but agree, too much fun

    Ivey cut his hair off and had a down year for the Pistons. Let’s hope this goes the other way.

    I think I did 1-5 but honestly I see our lineups being 1 then hybrid 2/3/4 and a 5. Some flex potential on 4/5 depending on who is here and who has earned playing time. I said before that this season might see ups and downs as we figure out what works and guys will play where we need them on...

    Our scholarship grid

    Good point. We have usually only taken 1 year portal kids with the exception being Evan Boudreaux. As much as single year mercenaries can provide positional stability, guys with multiple years can elevate missed recruiting targets.

    I think currently it is just Final 4 without any designation for NCRU. I wonder if we would redesign the old banners to make it a clear distinction because it should be noted. Plus, as cool as the Helms title is, the F4 ones are like 1/2 the size. We have some impressive creative folks for...

    Mason Gillis enters transfer portal

    That’s why Northwestern would be hilarious 🤣 Imagine if he commits there and part of his video is him punching Northwestern students in the face

    Mason Gillis enters transfer portal

    He makes sense from an experience and toughness - something they have lacked. Gillis isn’t a fake tough guy like Filipowski who trips people and pretends to get injured during a court storming.

    This is impressive. I am curious on when we will do something for the Final 4 and NC banner? I know the picture of that floats around the internet a lot but we might need to redesign that setup. Maybe we will do something to note which prior F4 we played for the NC? Plus the F4 banners are...

    This will most likely be an Occam’s Razor scenario. Asking one of our recruits to go to prep school doesn’t make sense. They are better served being on campus practicing and training with our team. Prep schools for the most part are glorified AAU teams. They aren’t working on our plays and sets...
