yep, I was going to remove McMillan and Holloway from the list I was tracking since they didn’t mention Purdue in the schools recruiting them the hardest recently. I don’t see Dix considering us after Heide. I think Karaban had been off the radar for awhile.
I am rarely surprised by recruiting news (unless it's really good news). But what information was out there that made you think that Painter had stopped recruiting PGs? Painter has said multiple times that he continues to recruit, even though it appears the class is full. Unfortunately it's because of past history -- players being injured, decommiting, or simply not working out.
So who do you have other than Washington? By all accounts we’re going to sign 5, and it doesn’t appear there’s an obvious position of need. Maybe a post? Anyway, it would seem we are in the enviable position of taking the best player.
We are in a very good position. Njie is going to visit this weekend from an earlier post. Nothing from Reed after his visit. Heide committed right before the Rodgers visit. Did Rodgers visit? Michigan just got a commit from a small PG so that might impact Trimble?
I just don't see him having the oppurtunity to make the big leap next year.
Thanks for the find. He is playing it cool and close to the vest. Not gushing about anyone yet. Yep, seems like ranking should go up.Four-star Tarris Reed visits Michigan State and Purdue, Ohio State up next | Zagsblog

very brief, generic Purdue mention from Reed. By his offer list, his ranking seems criminally underrated.
Based on the offer list of the top 4 guys, I’d be ecstatic to get any of them.
This is exceptionally promising if for no other reason, we're seeing Purdue on these superstar's lists more and more.
I think painter was recruiting other guards at the same time as Heide and the first one to take it would have gotten it. I have no idea what he was telling these guys but there were people on the board that thought painter would have taken McMillan and Heide.

Why do you think we will sign 5? I think if we get Washington we only sign 5 if we can get a quality big. Otherwise we bank for 2023. I doubt we have Ivey around when the 2023 class comes in but we may have Edey, Morton, Gillis, Newman, and the 3 from the 2021 class. If we sign 5 that only leaves us 1 schollie. Understand we will likely have some other departures but painter has not made it a habit of signing large classes.
I think there will be 2 at least for 2023 between Colvin, Xavier Booker, Gibbs-Lawhorn, Freeman, Hart, Joey Brown …
Because with the new transfer rules, the game has changed. Departures after going to happen and I think painter likes getting players in his system early. Painter has stated he may even start to oversign.
Ivey played so much because he often was the best/only good offensive options if Tre and Zach were'nt coming up big.
I agree that Painter does not "bank" scholarships, but there have been several years where he gave scholarships to worthy walk-ons because recruited players chose other schools.
True freshmen do not come into the B1G ready to play significant minutes. Their bodies are just not ready for the grind of the season.
I’ve seen several 2022 mocks with him in the top 10. One from Yahoo that was posted on here a few weeks ago.
He’s not averaging 35 minutes a game in the regular season. Not with this roster.

Way-too-early 2022 NBA mock draft: Gonzaga commit Chet Holmgren leads the way
After getting the first look at 2022 NBA prospects since October 2019, here's a way-too-early 2022 mock draft.
It’s titled; “Predicting the top players for the 2022 NBA Draft.” What’s the difference between that and a mock draft ?
