I can't remember the name but I saw the other day K State getting another verbal. I think that wrapped up Weber's class.
Either he’s getting offered, or Painter is paying his dues visiting a 4 star in-state kid as a courtesy thing. I’ll take the former, since the latter doesn’t make as much sense since the visit is so promptly after he decommitted. I’ll bet you he thinks he can get this guy instead of Ingram or Christie.
Painter watched him all spring and summer with Furst, Ivey, Powell, etc. I would put money on this turning into an offer and an OV in the near future.
He wants to play in F4’s and win a championship. I have a gut feeling this kid is Painter’s to lose. MP has a track record at winning in these situations. He won’t keep recruiting a kid once he commits but seems to have a plan as soon as they become available again.
Haarms is a Junior. You didn't factor him in. I think it's completely understandable for a recruit to look at our roster and see that our center position is our best/deepest position. A guy looking for immediate playing time isn't going to like upperclassmen Haarms and Williams ahead of him on the depth chart.
Painter needs another 6'5" 2/3 perimeter guy like Brohm needs another quality WR
I'm not following. We have Tre, Haarms, and Dow to play both 4 and 5 (and I do agree that "positions" don't relate too much to how we play, but still...) /// we have at least two+ PGs, three at the two-guard and two at the SF position.
See this is where we disagree. I have next year's roster looking as follows right now.
True - I was looking two years out PLUS, I was looking at a perfect world where no one is playing "out of position."
I thought you were saying you didn't know how a guy like Hunter Dickinson couldn't see immediate playing time, which is why I thought you were talking about next year's team.
.
Honestly, I wasn't saying anything other than whether we should take Dre. Even if he doesn't really have a place, I think you take him at his skill-level. Then worry about the "Evey" type next year. I think there will be an Evey type every year. And yes, Wheeler/Gillis can move to a 4 - especially in an up-tempo offense. I'm not disagreeing as much as wishing for a higher perfection. LOLI thought you were saying you didn't know how a guy like Hunter Dickinson couldn't see immediate playing time, which is why I thought you were talking about next year's team.
I think Tre will always be a 5, and also believe Wheeler and Gillis are 4s in Purdue's system (ie. Vince Edwards/Robbie Hummel). We can agree to disagree on that though
Brohm got his last Friday, and you will be tickled pink about it in a year or two.
He is better in man to man than in a zone . He is one of those guys that gets right up on you and plays physical . At one point the Indy heat only had 7 players I think it was a tourney in Ft. Wayne he played 3 or four positions and played them all well . But by no means would I put him on Ray Davis's level . I would say he is a serviceable defender . But an excellent scorer .
Not sure but could be. I know he would not talk to Haas until he decommitted. Even as going as far to tell he should stay where he was at. When Haas pulled the trigger it was pretty much a done deal. At least that is how it is told.
Agreed. Tre just need a constant outside shot and when he has it becomes very hard to handle playing the 4. He is already above average with handles, passing and low post game. He starts knocking down shots and we will all understand why he was ranked so high before his injury.
