Tiffini was at Bama and was an administrator for their NIL. She has experience in this field and should know how Purdue should handle these situations.Who is Grimes? Sorry, I don’t follow stuff with the departments that much.

Well good start to figure this one out asap.Tiffini was at Bama and was an administrator for their NIL. She has experience in this field and should know how Purdue should handle these situations.
Where are people finding the "he" is leaning towards IU? Was this something he actually spoke of? or speculation? I'm not saying it isn't true but more curious.Well good start to figure this one out asap.
Read he potentially wants to reclassify and our lineup might not allow for that…. Also read he is leaning to IU.
Interesting. If he reclassifies, it would be completely understandable he didn't come to Purdue based on the current roster for 2023-2024.Well good start to figure this one out asap.

Oh come on man. Don’t act naive.Such bs that you suggest you know that is what is happening.
Honestly, most thought this would become the new G-League. This is more about personalism then amateurism and this was one of my favorite reasons to watch college sports. You can't follow the landscape because it's more fluid then multi year contracts.College sports are heading into a no-win situation with a predictable outcome. Great family values are being replaced by NIL values. Traditional fans will have to adjust or move on.
not acting. You're the one acting like you know. Dont' act like you have some special inside information versus blowing out your own opinion.Oh come on man. Don’t act naive.
It’s not “inside information”. Other schools aggressively offer NIL money in recruiting, and we do not.not acting. You're the one acting like you know. Dont' act like you have some special inside information versus blowing out your own opinion.
Like everyone else.
Just stuff I have seen on Twitter from IU people who are supposedly in the know. He had removed his photo of him on his IU visit from his Instagram account and now it is back.Where are people finding the "he" is leaning towards IU?

The landscape of the NIL is just unfortunate to guide young people to become money runners without any commitment. This is proven by the portal and it has become the "new" society we live in....just sad.
Well, I guess we're in for a ride. Keeping schools at bay while looking for alternatives is a very ugly game. IMOJust stuff I have seen on Twitter from IU people who are supposedly in the know. He had removed his photo of him on his IU visit from his Instagram account and now it is back.
It’s because you can’t. Not yet.It’s not “inside information”. Other schools aggressively offer NIL money in recruiting, and we do not.
In what universe does our lineup not allow for this dude to come in and play as much as he wants?Well good start to figure this one out asap.
Read he potentially wants to reclassify and our lineup might not allow for that…. Also read he is leaning to IU.
Yeah, I think I even commented at some point this season that we could really use him in 2023-24 instead of the year after.In what universe does our lineup not allow for this dude to come in and play as much as he wants?
in today's game....program's will need to adjust as the recruit adjusts.In what universe does our lineup not allow for this dude to come in and play as much as he wants?

He is not physically ready for the grind of D1 basketball. Needs another year with some serious time in the weight room.Reclassify? We have the scholarship and the need for a wing athlete. He would have plenty of minutes. Newman left, Morton lost minutes as the season went on, 20+ mpg available. Unless he think he can't beat Myles for minutes (and judging by their rather stark body differences he probably couldn't in 2023).
It's a bag, IMO
This was kind of my first thought as well in regards to the talk of reclassification.He is not physically ready for the grind of D1 basketball. Needs another year with some serious time in the weight room.

Now he is WKU playing backup minutes.This was kind of my first thought as well in regards to the talk of reclassification.
I'm sure it's not an exact correlation, but look at what happened to Lander at IU.
They thought he was gonna be the 2nd coming and lead them to the promise land.
A counter pitch may not even matter.Now he is WKU playing backup minutes.
Not sure what our counter pitch is but we better figure it out.
A counter pitch may not even matter.
The rumors are that he was forced into the Purdue commit by his parents, so it's possible he only accepted because we were the only good offer he had at the time.
And while you never/rarely want to turn down 5* talent, if he doesn't even want to be here then both parties are likely better off in the end

Lol I know right?"The rumors" lol

It may not be, but no one really knows for sure except for him and his parentsThis isn't true.
I’ll be honest, if Catchings doesn’t come more power to him, Purdue will be fine, Transfer Portal is full of good players these days.College sports are heading into a no-win situation with a predictable outcome. Great family values are being replaced by NIL values. Traditional fans will have to adjust or move on.
I know and I knew he wanted to come to Purdue when he was a freshman. I see no reason to express how I know but I know!It may not be, but no one really knows for sure except for him and his parents
Then why try to spread something that you don't know about?It may not be, but no one really knows for sure except for him and his parents
Because I'm not stating anything as fact. I clearly communicated that what I was saying was a rumor.Then why try to spread something that you don't know about?
But then you took a rumor and expanded on it. That's what's so dangerous.Because I'm not stating anything as fact. I clearly communicated that what I was saying was a rumor.
Even the fact that his commitment is in question was a rumor to start off with.
Rumor is IU is going to get decertified as a University. Stay tuned.Because I'm not stating anything as fact. I clearly communicated that what I was saying was a rumor.
Even the fact that his commitment is in question was a rumor to start off with.
No, I really didn'tBut then you took a rumor and expanded on it. That's what's so dangerous.
Purdue will move on regardless, but this is not a commitment Purdue wants to lose. The upside with this young man appears to be tremendous.I’ll be honest, if Catchings doesn’t come more power to him, Purdue will be fine, Transfer Portal is full of good players these days.
I get that, however, if he’s a 1/2 year player maybe he isn’t the best fit for a Purdue. Trust me, I want him, however, if he leaves life goes on, the portal is full of top players, go out and get one if need be.Purdue will move on regardless, but this is not a commitment Purdue wants to lose. The upside with this young man appears to be tremendous.
