A roster of portal players

and a new coach, takes Michigan from last place in the B1G conference to a B1G conference tournament championship the next season. There is more than one way to skin a cat I guess.

NOT having great portal guys is the exception in today's game. I think Purdue might be the only top 20 team without them. But as we saw this year,vwe need them for next year
 
Yep, the portal can be very effective, or it can be a failure. Another challenge for coaches to get correct. I'm sure we'll see how CMP does it this off-season!
 
and Marquette has not had one the last three years, IIRC.
Adam Sandler Yes GIF

And DD didn't get Big Coach of the year.
Imagine that. Fizzo gets it.
Painter got screwed by NW just because they made the NCAA tourney the year PU won the BIG.
 
I’m not against adding a portal player. But I sure don’t want to add one just so we can say we added a portal player.

Just think if Duke added a portal player to start instead of adding Flagg! Oh wait, they did add a portal player at the same position Flagg played. How did that work out?

Adding a portal player is NOT the answer. Adding a player who can get some rebounds, play some defense and score some points. Is what we really need. That player could come from the portal or high school. Smith and Loyer started as freshmen and did a pretty good job their first year.

The portal guard we picked up from Michigan. Was ok but not a starter. Then there was the guy who came to Purdue from Princeton. He was ok, nothing special.

Jones was a good fit. But just because he was a good fit doesn’t mean every portal player will be. I believe Painter may sign a portal player. But I would be just as happy if he signed a decommit like Sisley.

Woodson is leaving IU. That means all of their players and recruits can leave and go elsewhere. I have to believe Sisley would be a good fit at Purdue. Why? Because I believe in Painter. And Painter recruited him very hard to be part of this team. And if Painter wanted him before he signed with IU, I have to believe Sisley would still be a great fit at Purdue
