Agreed. I would have liked to see the B10 go after UNC and FSU instead of USC and UCLA. But Duke won't fit into any super conferences because of football.If UNC joins the SEC or B1G, that will impact Duke for sure.
My guess is the GOR deal was too much of a hurdle to mess with, especially if there are other attractive options like USC and UCLA.Agreed. I would have liked to see the B10 go after UNC and FSU instead of USC and UCLA. But Duke won't fit into any super conferences because of football.
They hired a former Nike executive on their staff so flow of cash will remain steady.Kind of reminds me of the UNC situation when Dean Smith retired and they hired Bill Gutheridge and Matt Doherty.
I just question whether tradition and the Cameron Crazies is enough to keep up when they're facilities and nothing special and you have the UNC behemoth down the road.
I'm not really sure why Booker is ranked where he is right now. I'm sure he played great in aau but from the high school games I've seen he seems soft and unmotivated,especially for his talent level. Does Colvin look taller than the 6'4" he is listed at or is that just me?
He had some impressive showings at Pangos Elite camp which helped launch his ranking.That was his biggest knock until he turned it on starting with the IHSAA tourney. Motivation came in some form or another.
AgreedHe will end up at Duke or Kentucky assuming the offer.

Duke had a tremendous system of funneling money and benefits to players and their families even before NIL. Don't see recruiting dropping for themIt's going to be interesting to see if Duke maintains it's level of recruiting since Coach K is now gone.
He sounds more upbeat and excited about Purdue than I would have figured. Curious to see if we have a shot or if this was a courtesy to include us.
I think the Jack Perdue Club will need to win the powerball for us to get in the hunt.He sounds more upbeat and excited about Purdue than I would have figured. Curious to see if we have a shot or if this was a courtesy to include us.
Louisville hires the grandfather of the #1 ranked recruit.
Truly an embarrassing program.
And continuing to embarrass themselves.Truly an embarrassing program.
Lol, welp!Flashbacks to Glengarry Glen Ross.....
LNI, NIL.....just sign it, please......
Matt Painter's done a really good job with recruiting them....has the potential to be a dynamite team.....but, yeah......the Boilerepherine takes over and it's "What's going to go wrong now?"
Parker Friedrichsen is out there still but hard to get back to our standing with him before the DGL commit. Parker, it was always you!So now, with DGL decommitting, where does Purdue go from here? Do we start turning over rocks? Or do we just bank our scholarships and focus on 2024?
Lol, welp!
Did teams layoff of Parker? I don't see much current information after his decommit. Seems he/we would be a good get for both parties.Parker Friedrichsen is out there still but hard to get back to our standing with him before the DGL commit. Parker, it was always you!
Cameron Christie - committed to Minnesota
Davis Loury - no news or predictions
Brandon White - no news or predictions
Joey Hart - narrowed it down recently to 4 mid major schools. No offer from us.
Carey Booth - no activity since the offer in June. Came in late. Shows warm for Penn St.
Lawrent Rice - no news or predictions.
He backed out of his commitment to Oklahoma St. this article from a couple days ago mentioned:Did teams layoff of Parker? I don't see much current information after his decommit. Seems he/we would be a good get for both parties.

Creighton
Nebraska
Northwestern
Cincinnati
Also visited Davidson.
Yep, I hear you and starting to feel that way.It would be worth a phone call to see if he is still interested. Other than Creighton, I don't see any other real competition unless Nebraska alumni start throwing NIL money at hoops too. Not the same explosive diversity that DGL brought to roster unfortunately, but you can't ever have enough skill and shooting. Especially if the kid wants to be at Purdue for the long haul and develop.
On a side note like someone else posted in another thread, not sure if following recruiting is really worth it anymore with this changing landscape. Showing up in November and cheering for the returning guys and whoever new is on the roster might be the way to go.
pass. Don't we have a bunch of players with similar profiles. Looks like a Northwestern kid. Let them have him.It would be worth a phone call to see if he is still interested.

Well, unfortunately an offer sheet like that would be a big step up from some of the guys we've been accepting commitments from lately and, other guys we continue to recruit.pass. Don't we have a bunch of players with similar profiles. Looks like a Northwestern kid. Let them have him.
Dominique Murphy class of 25 have moved up from #25-to 10 in the sophomore classI decided to start a NEW 2023 Recruiting thread. Hopefully this one will not get derailed......

Man, he has fallen off the map and in the rankings. He was a former top Indiana HS prospect.
Was being talked as possible Mr Basketball at one time. Rivals had him as high at 78 and now, not rated. Yikes.Man, he has fallen off the map and in the rankings. He was a former top Indiana HS prospect.
My guess is the latter...Is Purdue and Painter still actively recruiting DGL, or is it one of those if you open back up there is no coming back type of deals?
I would assume we're still actively recruiting him. Could be completely wrong, but this is the style of recruiting now. Players are going to decommit and search until it's time to sign.Is Purdue and Painter still actively recruiting DGL, or is it one of those if you open back up there is no coming back type of deals?
