2022 Recruiting

Any comps for Heide?

Maybe Luke Recker? Just watched a highlight video and he did the same between the legs dunk as a sophomore Recker did at the slam dunk contest his senior year (really don't know why I remember that lol). Don't remember Recker's outside shot but Heide has range, a bit slow on the gather/release right now.

That’s funny as I was initially thinking Recker, but I also think Wieskamp from Iowa might be a fair comparison. Not sure how Joe was as a Sophomore in high school, but I think Heide can grow his game into something similar to Joe’s now.

I don't think he is nearly the same sort of shooter Wieskamp was. Probably bigger and a much better athlete

i think heide is quite a bit more athletic than weiskamp is/was.

but I don’t have a better comparison.

William Buford is my high end comp. Good shooter, sneaky athleticism, can use size to score at 3 levels. Potential to be great college player that sticks 3-4 years that will make other B1G teams wonder when he will ever leave. Buford was so good, but never could crack those draft boards and always came back to punish the B1G again.

I see a lot of Tre Galloway in him as well...a guy that Painter identified and was in on early, and, who would have been a great fit at Purdue...and benefited from it rather than being desperate for whatever reason(s) to go to IU.

Regardless of the comp...the kid looks as though he can play at a high level, and, has a skill set that would fit in well at Purdue seemingly.
 
Heide's picture on 247 looks like the kid from The Wonder Years with a bad haircut.

Fred Savage.....with a slight "drop" in competition from AAU.

Does anybody know if we can expect any more recruiting commitments in the near future.Thanks

Seems like things are picking up with Heide but haven’t found much info for a couple days. Maybe someone has more insight there? I saw Brian Snow raised the confidence number in his Purdue prediction recently.

We are going for a lengthy backcourt with Brown. It shows Micah as the lead recruiter for Brown and McMillan. CMP in the mix for Brown so they really like him. It would allow us to turn our attention to Heide and a big.
 
It is becoming more and more clear, as CMP stated on Dakich's show, get all the great shooters we can, with some bigs, and go from there. Especially with the new transfer rules. Grab all the great ones and see who becomes even greater.

With an added bonus for shooters who can create their own shots in the half-court/motion on needed occasions.
