2020 recruiting article
- Thread starter boilercss
- Start date
It appears I have been doing a lot reading of J&C articles because I have reached my 3 article limit! Anything new/interesting or does it go more in depth about our offers (Cryer, Fletcher, Carlson, Dickinson, etc.)?
Seven in the top 50 nationally and one in the 50 - 100 range. Nothing super new.
Cryer, Love, Morton, Carlson (#70), Dickinson, Fletcher, Garcia, Loveday ... Hugley in 150 - 200

I would think it will be hard to get Dickinson considering their won't be very many minutes for him unless Haarms leaves early
I miss the wild west days of newspapers on the internet before they wanted to make $$$ off their content.
I would be surprised if Haarms uses his fourth year of eligibility. He will be a big focus of the offense next year so his numbers will undoubtedly go up. If he even gets a sniff of the draft, I would think he goes being older than most in the draft.
Well they got to make money somehow and nobody actually wants to buy a paper
its also easy to get around the article limit
Haarms would most likely lose minutes to Dickinson. I think he’s that good and Haarms is simply a serviceable player.
OR Haarms plays the 4 and we have a monster lineup.

Download the IndyStar “IN Sports” app. Same articles. No fee.
Nojel has a better chance than Harms of going to the nba. I think you’re good there.
We need another prototype B10 Purdue Center like Dickinson but even so there’s very few that are ready as freshmen. Haarms is much more then serviceable but his jump as as junior is important. 20 lbs of muscle needed.
I think we may be talking about a different guy named Haarms...
If our freshman this year can contribute the way they did, I have no doubt that a top 25 player overall can figure it out.
If Haarms plays the 4 alongside Dickinson where does Tre go?
Haarms has a decent mid range shot and if he can develop a consistent 3, then NBA teams will grab him up and he will be gone end of next season.
That's kind of what I was getting at with my original post. I think the only outcome here is Haarms losing minutes, expecially as Tre improves. Doesn't mean he won't play, but Haarm's potential 30 minutes per game could cut to 20. That's all.
There are 80 min/gm at the 4 and 5 spot. Those 80 minutes can easily be split between Dickinson, Haarms, and Tre.
Yep, they could each get about 27 minutes per game splitting two spots three ways, and there might be games were Tre, Dickinson, or Harms is in foul trouble. These problems usually work themselves out.
Here is another interesting 2019 recruiting article: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...king-down-the-early-signings-in-the-big-ten-3
Interesting that they give Indiana a C- for the TJD & Franklin class, and Purdue a solid B for Newman & company.

To be fair, this article was prior to TJD commiting and didn't include him in the "C-" ranking. That ranking was for Armaan alone. At least that's how I read the article.
Both may have a better chance of sticking than Romeo...regardless, both have done more for their respective college program than arguably the biggest flop (maybe ever) of any high level recruit of either program.
Don't agree with this at all. Dickinson would be a freshman when Haarms is a senior. That to me is a perfect transition unless Dickinson is good enough to be a one-and-done which I haven't heard. And if that's the case, I doubt CMP would be going after him this hard.
As much as it is nice to think of that possibility, the likelihood is remote at best.
Haarms' game just does not transition to the NBA...he is not a good defender on the floor away from the basket, he lacks strength (and is not physical) in the post, and, he does not have any sort of dominant offensive game.
Haarms is a really good college player, especially in the system that he is and at/for Purdue...but, in that he has not developed consistency at anything offensively in two-plus years on campus, it is hard to imagine him suddenly becoming an above average (or even average for that matter) shooter, never mind from behind the 3-point line.
Haarms' best attribute is his motor and passion, and, that he literally plays all out whenever he plays. If he has any ambition of playing in the NBA, long shot or not, he would have to become some sort of solid rebounder, show an ability to defend the high pick and roll, add weight/strength (and force), and, indeed show an ability to knock down a jump shot. Not impossible, but, a lot to get done, especially if some think he may consider leaving a year from now.
He’s a corner jump shot away from having a very nice NBA career. It’s absolutely possible he leaves after next year if he starts to show it more in games. If you watch him practice/warm up, the potential is definitely there. But I agree he’s got work to do.
A corner jump shot (or any jump shot for that matter) would go a long way towards helping his cause, but, I think there is more than just that keeping him from playing in the NBA.
He is not above average in ANY facet of the game other than shot-blocking, and, even then, he leaves his guy or chases blocked shots, which will not work at the next level (and does not even work at this level a lot of the time).
He is a REALLY good college player, and, especially for Purdue...but, unless he can have some offensive skills that will translate to the next level, and, can add size, strength and force, he is going to be really hard pressed to play in the NBA.
Yep - There is simply no debate that Dickinson is the Anchor of this recruiting class ... he would make PU solid! Painter and Haarms both know that PU must always be recruiting over the existing players to make the leap that is being demanded. It's the way life in the top tiers. Every great program does it every single year. Given the Frosh/Senior timeline, it's not at all a bad thing for anyone.

And they wouldn't have to back off when they pick up that second foul. There's someone who can step in if they go out.
Haarms hasn't been playing basketball that long, he still can improve. That doesn't mean he will play in the NBA, but most likely he will go back home to Europe and make a lot of money there.
Agree with your points. His best bet is a 3 and D player off the bench. I think that’s achievable but he has work to do.
I think people are underestimating haarms athleticism and length. His combination of those two traits is NBA "good enough".
Sure he can get his shot more accurate and extend out. But I think he can evolve into a nice backup rim protector and pick and dive olayer

Purdue had an in home visit with Terrance Williams.
Purdue is visiting lj cryer this week.

This one came out of nowhere. Good that we are being listed. Maybe 2 guys out of Maryland, Dickinson and Lewis? These top 10 announcements are kind of crazy.
Final 10 lol...why even bother
He’s obviously not a blue blood because he didn’t pick IU.
Completely disagree 100%. If the tourney taught us anything, it’s that guards and wings are the difference-makers, not big, giant immobile centers.
I’d much rather have a 6’6-6’9 athlete who can shoot and create than a 6’11 275 plodder who just takes up space and can’t get up and down the floor.

He reminds me a lot of Haarms actually or perhaps a left handed Brad Miller
7 foot version of Sheffler with the left handed shot. He got down the floor for some nice breakaways.
Guards win games, Centers keep you in them.
Fall made it tough for Duke in the paint and Haas was very efficient per minute. Depends on how these players are used. I'll take him along with what talent we have and possibly another combo guard.
