Christian Keeling
- Thread starter BoilerBulldog
- Start date
He must have been impressed with the tournament run. Decent offer list.
McCoy did that recently and I don’t even think he had an offer or had visited. Ultimately he chose Oregon iirc. Have to get them on campus to have a shot, even if you make a top whatever list.
After watching his highlight video, he looks like an absolute perfect fit for what Purdue needs with the departure of Cline/Edwards. He can create his own shot and shoots lights out from DEEP. Sign him up!
I'm sure the UT fans will love his leg kick if we get a chance to play them next season, lol
I think it less out of left field and more Painter's standard operating procedure of keeping things quiet. There are two other players he has supposedly reached out to as well, but all have been well under the radar.
Sherfield isn't happening. I don't think they are even recruiting him anymore.
Are you trying to bait the IU posters/trolls into derailing this thread as well?

Keeling would be an A+ transfer and his shooting seems like it would be a great fit but I am not super confident with UNC being on the prowl
I would Guess Proctor is more likely and he is probably just OK the athleticsm and the shooting are less than Ideal

I'd take both if possible
It probably depends on who is in the front court. If Haarms and Wheeler are the 4 and 5, then he is a likely starter. If Wheeler, Haarms, and Williams start at the 3,4,5, then it would be close as to who starts between Newman and Keeling at the 2, imo.
With that being said, we should land him before worrying about what his role will be.
Shooting in the dark on this ... the off-seasons under Painter always result in some nice surprises. I can't imagine Proctor becoming a starter, at least not before the Conference Season. Keeling has the attitude and energy and "CE"ism to be a real possibility. As said above, who will we get is the first answer needed.
I'm just thinking a grad transfer probably wants to know the answer to the same question before committing to a school. is he going to receive a chance to start? or will he just be depth? I would believe it would be hard for some to go from the main man and scoring machine to a lesser role. I realize that's what Evan did, but I'm not sure if his ending role is what he expected or projected it would be when he first committed to Purdue.
I can see some grad transfers wanting to play for a school that offers a great grad program. I can see some who just want a chance to play one last year for a team that will be in the dance. Whereas some might want one last year to try to display their talents with that small hope of turning pro.
I'm not really sure of the success rate, or exactly how many grad transfers have actually turned their transfer into actually being drafted by the NBA. I would believe one of the ones at texas tech may have a chance.
Purdue has used grad transfers in a variety of different roles from starters to bench role players. I believe our success rate has been a lot higher than other schools. Although, I readily admit I haven't really followed grad transfers at other schools. Do grad transfers even think of going to IU ? I guess it also depends on the coach. Some coaches embrace it, while others don't.

Not quite an apples to apples comparison to a grad transfer, but Carl Landry comes to mind when mentioning ''transfer" and "NBA" in the same sentence. He was such an impressive player to watch. Undersized but always got the job done.
Painter will never guarantee playing time to anybody. They all get a chance to earn it.
This is correct. There are at least two starting guard jobs up for grabs. No on gets promised a starting role but the minutes are there and up for grabs.
Which in turn makes a player better and starting isn't even that big of a deal anymore.
If I was a player, I'd want all the minutes whether I started or not.
Lester Quinones and Watford. Plus he’s a 6’1 shooting guard. He’s basically a Green.
I do believe Watford is going to Memphis. I don't trust anything Dakich says, however. While I dont expect Quinones to come to IU, I would love it if he did.
IU's best chance at another top 100 player in 2019 is Anthony Harris.
I really would love to see Purdue land Keeling. He averaged over 20 points against Florida, Marquette, and Clemson and even though all three were bad losses, I think he demonstrated that he can score against high major competition, with 50% shooting from the field and from 3 in those three games combined. He looks like a player who could really plug in and compliment the players that Purdue has returning. With Edwards and Cline gone next season, I think that he could really help spread the court.
Unfortunately, my gut says he chooses UNC.

One would think that UNC would not be inthe running anymore given today’s two guard commitments. I’m hoping we are a mutual fit
Agreed. That also may push Proctor and/or Cumberland to make a decision before Keeling would visit.
I assume that's for real ... and yes, Boilermakers everywhere said exactly the same thing!
We're certainly missing from the comments below the tweet.
Yeah the delusional UNC fans think the Harris commitment is going to help them land a guy with one year of eligibility left lol.
Need one... but I wouldn’t be somehow shock to see Keeling as a Tarheel. Bag men are definitely on their way to his house in GA.
