2025 Transfer portal thread

Yes. Though our coach is old school in many senses, he is no idiot. He knows you better move with the times, suffer or fall back. It is so much different today. It is more of a business and you have to make business decisions. Didn't the Virginia coach retire because he wanted nothing to do with the new wave of college sports?
Yeah, multiple ones have due to NIL

Valpo big man (Schweiger?) - doesn’t look like we have reached out

The big from the Dakota’s - doesn’t look like we are involved there either.
If and when Paint reaches out to portal players , we won’t or shouldn’t hear about it. After taking care of the core 8 for next year Paint will get that 6-8 athletic power forward who can score to complete this team

Jay Wright from Villanova?
 
Braden will get offers over $5 million, if he hasn’t already.
I've seen that. Not sure how true it is. I don't see him leaving for money. I think he's happy where he is and Purdue will win next year. So it'd be pretty wild to leave at this point. I think if Purdue can commit 5mil, they can keep the whole team(at least what they want to keep).

Natty? We have that problem with the portal. Someone will offer Smith huge...HUGE...money that may turn his head and the color of his jersey. Same with TKR. And probably Loyer with his high shooting percentage. Maybe even Myles and Cam get offers. Don't count on any of the current guys being here except for maybe Waddel and Josh Furst.

It's not just about getting someone, it's about keeping those who may help PU get to that final game. That's the future DP.
This is.... something. So you now think the entire team is going to get millions and leave?

I'm gonna go ahead and count on almost all those guys being here next season lol

My thoughts on portal guys is that paint isn’t going to focus on guards but more so 4/5 guys, two way threats with size and likely the ability to get downhill and create shot opportunities. In older terms C, PF, and maybe SF 6’6” or bigger. Those are the players he was pursuing in the HS guys that all went elsewhere.

We need a guy who can get his own shot vs anyone at anytime. Whether that be a guard or forward, I don’t mind, but that’s something we are lacking this year.

We don’t need another guard as we have an abundance now unless you have some hit the portal. I think both Harris and Cox have some ability to get downhill and get their shots but that’s not their defined roles especially as freshmen. There is a need for a wing or big man who can play both ways and be able to score at multiple levels and create opportunities
 
I should have read down the thread before replying the same way. Our 4/5 has zero depth next year. Hoping Burgess has a huge jump is a ton of risk and still extremely thin at those positions. We need a portal big that can be impactful on day 1.
Yes one more big would be the missing piece. Go with 3 we have and weee good to go. Our guards are fine unless one leaves. And Miles and Cam are great on the wing
