2023 Recruiting
- Thread starter TX4GB
- Start date
I updated the below list. I would think that we'll take 4 total with this class.
I would be very happy with Colvin, Gibbs, Friedrichsen, and Booker.
I think a big is the most critical piece. It will be Edey's senior year, so assuming he isn't here, it's Furst, Gillis, and that's it.

I would take Buzelis but that is a kid we usually don't get.....
I would be curious how Loury continues to grown and develop because he seemed to have crept up this summer.
Stick around for the game Friday night Xavier!
When I see clips of Myles the same thoughts go through my head of when I watched HS clips of Ivey. It's obvious now the rankings guys were 50+ spots off on Ivey like most of us thought and they are doing the same with Myles.
The athleticism and skill are elite AND both have professional championship level DNA in their blood. What else does it take to put a kid in the Top 30. I don't know if it is bias because of early commits to Purdue or the fact these guys that rank HS recruits are writers who have never played or coached at any level and if they could actually evaluate talent they would be payed much better by a college team or NBA to do so.
Anyways keep grinding Myles. Jaden is proving you can be under the radar, come to Purdue, and STILL reach all of your goals and more.
The announcers, tv networks, media, refs, recruiting services and scouts are not out to get Purdue.
Painter takes good talent and makes better teams. Give Painter guys ranked 50 to 150 and keep them in the program and you've got a nice recipe for a good team and every once in a while (this year) a great team.
We're #1 in the country enjoy it!
If you accept it, it does. Whether you play like one is up to you. I think it is big deal for a kid. Try not to burst it for him.
Anyone know anything about 2023 PG Ju'ShaunPrimus at Purdue Polytechnic HS in Indianapolis? 30 ppg, 9 assists, and 5 steals. I have no idea about the competition they play, but his numbers are more than impressive.
While perusing MaxPreps, an interesting prospect showed up as a leading shot-blocker in the state. He is 6-11 Marial Diper from Rock Creek Academy in Sellersburg (Trey Kaufman's hometown). 11 ppg, 10 rpg, 7 bpg. A soccer player who has only been playing basketball for 3 years. He's a starter on the soccer team, too. Built more like Manute Bol than Zach Eey.
I have to believe that the #1 ranking in the country has to help recruiting. Players who previously would not have looked at Purdue have to be giving Purdue serious consideration.
The local paper now lists Diper at 7-0. I don't know if he can develop into a Big Ten quality player, but I would bet he can get up and down the floor with the best of them. I would also bet he could learn good footwork.

SELLERSBURG — Marial Diper tallied two goals to help Rock Creek to a 2-2 tie against visiting Corydon Central at Haas Field on Tuesday night.
Might be similar to Hakeem Olajuwon with the soccer skills. Sounds like a Diper Dandy.The local paper now lists Diper at 7-0. I don't know if he can develop into a Big Ten quality player, but I would bet he can get up and down the floor with the best of them. I would also bet he could learn good footwork.

Didn’t FSU have a 7 footer guarding the point guard spot? As a soccer player, I am sure he can move.The local paper now lists Diper at 7-0.

Good week to call the recruits. Yeah hi, this is Coach Painter from #1 Purdue.
I am sure Painter would be open arms for Tre Gibbs-Lawhorn to give his verbal but think he is one of the last pieces to commit for the class of 2023.
I reside in Texas and pretty sure those are fighting words
Hey Hey I was just wondering. I prefer Texas Roadhouse! Wasn't the first Texas Roadhouse in Indiana? I could be misremembering.
I knew it!!
Confirmation that my memory isn't completely crap, lol
Damn you beat me to it. Vitale would have a field day!
Dude, you like gut-bomb chili. You'll need to do your "fighting" whilst seated on the porcelain throne...
Kokomo!
Let's go for the trifecta......Bonanza - founded by none other than "Hoss" Dan Blocker....in Connecticut.
Dang.....now I could go for a T-Bone!
Holy ****, I was gonna say Hoss Cartright about Ponderosa just for fun!Kokomo!

They did, here it is originally:
3 predictions on 247 all with 8 confidence:
Bossi, Rabjohns, and Branham.
Bossi, Rabjohns, and Branham.
If, he does commit. What a deep position it will be with Smith, Gibbs-Lawhorn, Fletch and Myles. Then we'll have most likely "ice" berg, TK and Furst, Gillis and Waddell. Another very deep team. 🤞
