2026 recruits

My very unprofessional opinion is Mayer is a 2 and done kid. he has the size and passing skills for an NBA PG, if he gets the handles too, with the coaching we know Painter will give the kid, I think its hard to pass up going to the NBA after one year of being the main pg for the team. I know we think of Painter as a big man developer, but both Braden and Carsen Edwards came out of nowhere to become top PG or combo guards.

Just think what Painter will do with a talent like Mayer.

I am obviously a bit over excited for Mayer, just cant believe we got this kid, he will be fun. But my man crush on Painter keeps growing, lol
The exciting thing is that if he is a 2 and done kid he'll have shown us to other kids of that caliber while we are being national title contenders. Much more likely to find another one and keep increasing the profile of the program.
 
I saw this coming it's our new/old world. So, Steve the dad resigns from his HS job then takes his 3 daughters to the transfer portal and converts them to an assistant coaching job with Sharika Wright at University of Texas Arlington. Moving the whole family to Texas until he can cash in on SR3. I don't even begrudge him for making the most of his opportunity to cash in. It's all about the money! We as fans have to adjust. The rumor I believe is Bobinski is heavily involved in the women's BB program and the portal is how he plans to rebuild it. Let's hope they can, or IMO Katie will be gone. Are we out on SR3?
Reynolds won’t be at Purdue, I’m fine with that.
 
I wonder if paint/Purdue is gonna recruit/offer Eric Jacobsen, Daniel’s 6’11” younger brother?
What year is Eric? Is he considered a high-level prospect? I guess DJ was wildly underranked through spring of last year until he made the USA Basketball team, so maybe whether Eric is considered a high-level prospect doesn't matter.

Will graduate in 2026. Has a good looking 3pt shot (quicker than his brother). Can’t find his ranking, but like you said, doesn’t matter if paint likes him haha
 
I vaguely remember when Daniel committed seeing a post/refgerence somewhere mentioning his younger brother and it might have been his dad or a coach saying they thought he might end up being better than his older brother in the end. But that has been a couple years ago and i have no clue where i saw that lol. It’s curious his name isn’t among the 2026 recruits being mentioned as of yet…

Lol, how many times do you hear that a good player's younger brother is going to be even better? Rarely works out that way.
 
Like Braden's little brother is maybe 7th grade and I've heard that he's really good. Better than Braden?? Now that will be extremely hard to achieve.
Exactly. It certainly possible it just doesn’t generally work out that way.

I guess Seth Curry is an example of an exception, I think his older brother played somewhere 😉

I think you may be confusing Aaron Gordon with Eron Gordon…

Let's get both Thompsons...Trey and Anthony!

IU just offered Trey. Very similar to Sisley, so interesting to hear their pitch. He had quite a few high majors watching him over weekend, so the secret is out.

Looking at how much Devries prioritized shooting/skill in portal, it will be interesting to see if IU and Purdue have some more head to head battles and are looking for the same type of player.

It seems IU is continuing to offer anyone and everyone under the sun in HS if they are a 5 star
