I agree. Probably limiting the amount of paid-to-play players should be limited. Recruiting should be our priority and sprinkle-in a portal guy or 2 (should be our limit).
2025 Transfer portal thread

I think he means guys you go out and buy, not the base NIL that all Purdue players get or the upside for guys like Zach and Braden.
Yep which is what helped the program get to a FF last season.
The portal is not going anywhere and Painter has said he will use it (I'm paraphrasing) but I also agree with what you're saying, sprinkle in a couple and go from there.
The issue for us this season has been we have 3 people doing it all... and no help because at least two of them are still being developed. I expected more from Cam/Colvin though.. their regression has been a mystery.
Just limiting the incoming players through the portal vs. developing/paying our players that are already on our team that we have spent time recruiting, developing and stayed committed to Purdue.
Do we need physical vs scoring when TKR is out? I wonder if Caleb was a threat to score how would this offense look. I wouldn't mind having that ability on our bench.
Couldn't disagree more. The portal is just getting going for the year. No way to know that Freeman is the best option or even fits what CMP wants. Way too early to make this statement.
for a big, he does a good job on the ball...just not a real rim protector and low post player depending. He does however provide perimeter D for a big...I just think there are times he switches and shouldn't as it causes problems quite often. THAT said, it may be more of a coaches decision in trying to contain the dribble than Caleb's desires.
He is on a do not contact list - so unless Purdue is one of those names he will transfer to, we are out.
Might be one of the best transfer highlight video I have ever seen.
He’s not a bad player, saw him play a couple times. Seemed aggressive on offense…
Cooper Schweiger from Valpo is a good player that would be a nice add for Purdue.
No problem for me either way with him. I just didn't agree with oldboiler that he was the one and only choice for us. Even if we are on his "list" I wouldn't automatically say he is the best option. That's all I was saying.
