2022 Recruiting
- Thread starter TX4GB
- Start date
Penn St it is for Jameel Brown. Micah got his player after all to start his rebuild. A little bit of suspense with Purdue in the mix talk during a slow basketball recruiting news period. Maybe Coach Johnson and Lusk put on a press at the end to try and reel him back in.
After he decommitted and Painter had 2 guards commited for that class, I'm surprised that the offer was still there.
JMHO - think it has a lot to do with and demonstrates CMP's straight-forward and direct approach philosophy. If he makes a scholarship offer without any up-front conditions, then it generally remains open until the recruit actually commits elsewhere (or tells Painter he's declining the offer). He's about as straight-forward, no beat-around-the-bushes as it gets in that area....even perhaps to his detriment in some circles.
Now, with the new transfer rules, he has stated that he "may" consider oversigning if necessary......that's going to be a developing aspect of recruiting going forward, as there hasn't really been but one cycle yet.....plus there is still the after effects of the "free" eligibility year (last year) to measure out.
Oh.....then there's this thing I heard about called NIL?
Right, we might need another Combo guard. Good timing with the announcement from Myles yesterday. He will help fill that void.JMHO - think it has a lot to do with and demonstrates CMP's straight-forward and direct approach philosophy.

Are we assuming for the most part the coaching staff is finished recruiting '22? I'm sure they are still looking at players, but are there any real possibilities currently? Does that mean we will be looking for a big man in the portal for next season?
Hope not-this class really needs a big. Either a true Center or an athletic 4 that can play C
There are still a boat-load of good uncommited players in the class. But according to Rivals, not many have offers from Purdue. Who knows how many have mutual interest? Or if there are hidden gems being recruited by the staff?
Keep the string of 7 footers going! Center from Sweden. 7-1 and 265.
Good handles and footwork for a 7' big.
Hmmmmmmm.... video reminds me of yet another BIG... can't quite place him, but I think he wears black and gold SOMEWHERE....
I like our chances with guys like this. Mix it with the teaching ability of CMP and Brantley...all B1G.
In the video, did I hear, "oh, my GAWD!"???
In all seriousness... why would dudes like this go ANYWHERE else??
Be a Boilermaker. Be special.

I have not seen or read anything about this player other than that video. I know one should not put too much into highlight videos, but that was a nice move and shot. As others have said we will know more about this tomorrow.
Several videos of Berg available here. Watch the first video and then you'll be able see the others. Very mobile and agile for a big man.

I saw where Njie has a final 3 of Butler, PSU, and KSU. Found this article around William Berg discussing Purdue, Iona, and Providence:
Think we took a look but don’t think he was that impressive this summer. Probably for the best to use that offer for someone else.
Yeah, according to Rivals, Purdue did not offer a scholarship. His top 3 may be the only schools that offered.
A local (Indiana) player that never reported a Purdue offer I don't think but I believe he was on the radar at some level.
Bad picture. He looks like a goon. I guess typical Whisky type goon, eh?
I think Wisconsin probably picked out the picture to use haha.
Sounds to me like he would be redundant with Fletcher Loyer, so never was targeted by Painter.
It looks like Greg Gard is trying to steal the ball away from him.
As a coach Greg should know you are not supposed to hit down when trying to steal the ball- it gets called every time. Maybe this is why Wisconsin seems to be underperforming at times. c'mon, Greg. Listen to your game telecasts- all the announcers know this!
I thought he was teaching the Tommy Crean crotchshot move.
They probably photoshopped a picture of Davison.
No, 5 tool players AWAYS really are. Doesn't mean they will be a great player, but they DO have the 5 tools or they wouldn't use the phrase.
That last part was/is my point: too many times players are called 5 tool players, but their performance (and resulting statistics) does not bear that out.

Only if that tool translates to the next level. Lots of 5 tool minor league baseball players end up not being 5 tool major league players.
Plenty of "5 tool" guys in high school until they play against another team that is also full of "5 tool" guys.
Think I'll just leave this thread to the board tools to discuss that which they claim to know best.
Braden, Fletcher, and Camden visiting this weekend.
Reminds me a little of Jajuan Johnson, but hard to tell from a couple of brief highlights
