Tony Carr was from the Philly area. They have similar builds. Maybe similar playing style? I would take that in a heartbeat with our coaching and motion offense.
2022 Recruiting
- Thread starter TX4GB
- Start date
Not actively recruiting him. Once Brown and Heide commit, last scholarship will be for a big.
Thornton has already committed to OSU so at this point I'm fine with the signing. I never disliked him but I would have loved to have Thornton.
Iwuchukwu
obviously won’t complain if we get a 4, but I’d prefer we get a 5 in this class.
Extremely doubtful. Kinda sucks because McMillan is a very good player but so are the 2 guards that have already committed
Well we might have Morton for 4 more seasons after this one- plus brown is a “combo guard”. Not sure how much we really need another PG yet
We also have Dravyn Gibbs Lawhorn in the recruiting mix for 2023.
Carr was a bitc*. Loved his game and toughness. I remember some really good battles between him and Eastern.
Was Nova involved with Brown?
I would think Heide likely rounds out this class. Very solid class with the firepower that are in the 2020 and 2021 class!
Yes, they were recruiting but no offer at the time. Good that we got him early.
That would be good too! I can see that. He was a catalyst that year with the Baby Boilers. Good outside shooter and has length. Should be a good defender with 6’6” wingspan.
Well he is a combo guard. Its not like Painter really recruits true traditional Point Guards that much. There isn't really one on the roster Morton is big and Thompson while being Point Guard height is more of a shooter.
Purdue, Auburn, Marquette, UMass, Penn, Temple, Richmond, and Xavier from what I can tell.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Jameel Brown.....looking forward to him joining this exciting team....a great fit for the program and Purdue University. Well done, CMP and Micah Shrewsberry. Recruiting profile? Looking good, folks.
Is it time Shrewsberry starts getting some praise? There were many people down on him when he came back, but since he came back our recruiting has been good!
Loved Keaton Grant. That damn knee injury really kept him from greatness imo.
I haven’t seen anything. It wouldn’t surprise me if he waited until early next year. I think Morton and Ivey announced maybe March/April their junior years. Just guessing.
Watched some video of Heide, Really good athlete (or good dunker at least). Very much reminds me of Recker or maybe the kid from Minny (Dekker? although Dekker may have been in the 6'8 range). Not sure about his handles.
I'm a firm believer Painter needs to focus and prioritize a score-first PG who can break down the D, get in the painter, finish and shoot. I've seen these types of guards playing at some lower level programs who would be exactly what Purdue needs.
Dekker played for Wisconsin... unless you meant he was from Minnesota before that?
Yes, Sam Dekker for Wisconsin and from Sheboygan. AND.....a 5* recruit, so automatically Lenny-approved.
Selected in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft but falling outside the lottery picks @ #18. Dekker was a heck of a player for Bo Ryan's Badgers. After a few years with the Rockets, Clippers, Cavaliers, and Wizards, he's now playing overseas in Turkey.
Yeh, it was Dekker at WI. Who was the white kid from Minny who was in that 6'7 range, really good athlete, great dunker?
Joey King? Transferred from Drake and played three years for Minnesota - '14, '15, '16.
No, that's not him. This guy was probably around 2005-2010, something like that. I might still be thinking of Dekker though and made up the Minny guy.
Thanks for sharing this interview. Should be a great teammate. Interesting that he mentioned targeting Jalen Washington to join the class. Also mentioned Tony Carr and emulating his game.
What's his current weight, his contract pay, and his social security number. You AMAZE me with all your info ... or is google your siamese twin?Yes, Sam Dekker for Wisconsin and from Sheboygan. AND.....a 5* recruit, so automatically Lenny-approved.

I appreciate the kind thoughts, DDD. I cannot take all of the credit as I have a loyal and dedicated staff that allows me the opportunities. They naturally avail themselves of current technology; however, it's our policy to refrain from advertisements or implicit endorsements of most enterprises. In addition, it's been a very difficult year, and with no holiday party, we're scrambling for an additional extra bonus.....Jelly-of-the-month Club is off the table.
I thought you might have meant Kirk Penney- but he was also WI lol. Hmm. Hard to remember
