2018 class

Just to stir the pot: I didn't take his "If Eastern leaves early..." comment to mean "One and done". I took it to mean maybe after his Junior year; meaning that we'd need someone to be already established in the system (meaning a solid 2018 recruit) to step in, if that were to play out. Just my 2¢.
Knock it off. "Sanity" was just restored to this thread, didn't you hear? Now you go and upset the apple cart again. Now the "monitors" are going to have to set you straight and make sure you only post what they want to read and approve of.

But please go ahead and guess who is going to commit in the 2018 class though because that is ok and it is so much more predictable.
 
Glad I didn't read this yesterday. The way I see it is this: the team is very good this season; we have some good recruits coming next year and possibly some other very good guys coming the following year. It's all good. Enjoy the moment. BTFU!

How about Carmody and Trapp? Those are my guesses.

And.........I'll say a '19 commit before the start of the '18 recruiting signing period??

And he did it in a non-douchy way. Imagine that.

I dont think I was the person that first reacted in that way. Someone was offended that I posted that I don't think the thought of a four star recruit leaving early should change how we approach 2018 recruiting and they wanted to respond to me in a douchy manner. That's where this turned. If you want to call me out for that, fine. I don't need a safe space. Let's operate in reality though.

TC: You obviously missed the point that Do Dah and I were making. It has been twisted to make it sound like we think NE is a likely "leave early". That isn't what either of us said or meant. If you read the thread from the beginning that is clear. I'm not "offended" by your post, just would prefer it be factual. I think if you go back and read your post you will see you also included a couple "questions" that you wanted me to answer that were pretty condescending. You tend to have a pretty aggressive posting style, which is fine, but it does tend to bring out the same in others including myself.

I'm old enough not to need a safe place either, so let's just move on.
 
Generally you don't worry about four star kids leaving early. Swanigan was a five star and having a very productive season and still doesn't seem like he will be in a position where he can get guaranteed NBA money.

Four star kids I just hope end up being good players for us rather than be extremely worried about them leaving early. I'm just hoping the kid is more like the next Etwaun Moore and not the next Anthony Johnson. If he blows up and puts himself in a position to be drafted that's great for him and the program but it's not really something you plan for. Answer these two questions.

Who was the last Purdue basketball player to leave early for the NBA?

Who was the last four star recruit to leave Purdue early for the NBA?

I think the answers to those questions prove my point.
Russell Cross left early adn I'm thinking he was a four star...since I'm not sure they had 5 stars back then? :)

TC4THREE, I believe it was me that got called out first. I got lambasted because I "tried to put words" in another posters mouth. (And if the poster who called me out would look at his post he would see that he put those words onto this board. Not me.)

So I guess I'm the original Dousche. I'm at fault for making a comment, a comment that I stand by. I did nothing wrong. I made a comment. I got called out....incorrectly, but I'm the dousche. Such is life.

It's Gores fault! Had.Algore not invented the Internet, there would be much fewer misunderstandings. I Know some think Bush is to blame, but it really is Algore's.
 
WOW thanks!! I feel so much better now!
you control how you feel. It was and always will be your choice. Nobody can make you do anything..it is always a choice. You may not like the choices, but you have a choice. I can't make you feel better AND I cannot make you feel worse. YOU choose how you respond. I know you know that and I did catch the sarcasam. Still, this is the Internet and in a few decades of participation in various forums I understand there are more misunderstandings than in face to face and even then there can be misunderstandings.

Tjreese, there was no sarcasm intended towards you. Actually some relief! I took it as a relief from the over paranoia and oneupsmanship that many here observe to in posts.

HUH? I was commenting on prioritizing recruits. If, in the future, there happens to be a slight, even miniscule chance, that he may turn out to be a great player ... it doesn't hurt to have a plan to INCREASE the priority of a future recruit. In no way did I ever SAY I thought he was. Don't put words in my mouth. You must need to make others look bad so you look better, to put it mildly.
