Kelsey played pretty well when he was at his new school but he was going to be a head case no matter where he eventually went to. I think it'll be interesting to see what Stephens does at Nevada next season.
Bryson Scott has done well.....Scott Martin did well...Stephens TBD at Nevada.
As a general rule most kids don't do well after transfer. Not just Purdue kids, kids from all schools. The exception would be kids who transfer up like Robinson at Michigan.
I agree. Marcius comes to mind. Had some really strong games, then disappeared in others.
Yes! But didn't he torch them in a game when he was a Boiler?
I always wonder what might have been with Palombizio. He scored something like 32 ppg and 17 rpg as a high school senior. He wanted to do that in college, but Keady wanted him to focus on rebounding -- at least as a freshman. At Ball State he led the MAC and was 3rd in the nation in scoring. He was honorable mention All-American and was drafted by the 76ers. He played overseas and led the European leagues in scoring multiple times. Oh, and he was a very good rebounder, too.
I would doubt he did much better than he would have at Purdue. Dan's father was a helicopter parent and he was drafted but I don't think the draft was two rounds in those days. Nice Kid though.
As I recall, he was a very physical player in high school and was interested in playing for Knight at Indiana. Knight didn't think he'd be quick enough to play in the Big 10. Palambizio then signed with Purdue. Prior to his freshman year he lost a significant amount of weight in an attempt to get quicker and prove Knight wrong. Keady was furious because he thought he was getting someone who could bang inside. I don't think Palambizio gained the weight back until he transferred to Ball State, and the increased strength made a difference.
Yep averaged double digits at South Florida and then went on to be a RAP Star......young man has skillz.
