Thought this was click bait at first but the video actually has Painter in it. Terribly written article but a name to watch. https://brobible.com/sports/article...5SbsYFoklZD4taGPr1_aem_NVLIR0vH6e8nJSy-tjXGrA
Dylan Betts Class 2028

Yeah, it's legit. Kid comes from super athletic family. UCLA will certainly be in the mix for him. The Sleepers guys have a video on Youtube about Painter being there to watch him.
Here’s a 6’10 kid (18th ranked nationally) from 2027 we just offered:
Matt Haarms type ability at 15, I'll take him
Not trying to be mean here, Wole…but the kid is 7’2 at 15 and is on USA bball teams and has other offers already…while I agree painter can def identify talent, he def did not find this kid before anyone else.
His dad was drafted in the nba and is 7’1. Has a sister at ucla who was named national defensive player of the year and is 6’7 and pretty good. Other sister is really good in 2025 apparently as well (number 1 or 2 player depending on who you ask in rhe 2025 class). Shes also goin to ucla. Bball is deep in that family….gonna be tough to fight off Cronin for their little bro.

I’ll just ask one question. What other official offers does he have and from who? I’ll agree he is not some hidden nugget. But it sure appears that Painter. Is not afraid to be one of his first official offers! And that’s what Painter does. He doesn’t wait until he sees a polished player in his junior year. If he sees bonified talent, he goes for it. He doesn’t hesitate! And that Painter is a very good judge of talent.
UNLV and Washington offered before. He’s on USA teams already, more offers coming. I am not calling you out here. Just think it may be a bit early for all other offers since it’s 3 years away still…I’m sure he will have over 50+ offers by this time next year.
It's hard for a 7'2" 15-year-old to stay hidden.
You just endorsed and verified my comments. I’m confident he will end up with over 100+ offers from elite basketball programs. He may or may not sign with Purdue. But Washington and UNLV are not exactly top 10 basketball powerhouses.
My point is simply, many schools are scouting him, but Painter is usually the first elite coach to make an offer.
You said he is the first to find and identify talent. This kid is class of 2028. He’s 7’2 at 15 and moves well. I think any one of us would offer immediately if we were a D1 coach 😂
To summarize...
Wole: Painter is always the first to find and identify talent.
Purvis: He has 2 offers already and his sisters go to UCLA.
Wole: You just endorsed and verified my comments.
Purvis: No I didn't actually.
Wole: I'm only talking about elite coaches.

He wasn’t the first to find and identify great talent here… yes he offered but most coaches aren’t extending 2028 schollies. Not an issue of finding and identifying just timing.
Also we will have other centers between Jacobsen and 2028. Isaiah Hill (2027) is probably going to come here unless he chases rhe money sack to Bloomington which is unlikely.
STOP with the "money sack" narrative from Bloomington already. Most college teams have money to spend on talent, not just Bloomington! Some idiot post some bogus statement on the internet and fools keep repeating it. They are not Fort Knox, which might be empty anyway, they are just a school with very bad spending habits!
Yeah Purdue and others have money to spend. Just aren’t out there yelling it from the tree tops / give it to just anyone. If the team down south spent that much on what they’ve got for this upcoming year…then yikes. But doesn’t matter much.
Indiana has estimated $11m to purdues estimated $8m. Doesn’t sound like much but Purdue has a lot of that money locked up and I’m not sure we will get $8m every year we hit up our deep pockets to keep this team together next year. Indiana is not deep the least bit and has ability to overpay. I’m not saying they will get double or triple but it will be sizable. And its not like I’m speculating, they are going after Hill hard.
Either way there’s probably only 2 other teams in B1G that get $8m+. We should be fine but if players go for the highest bid it won’t be us all the time.
Quit making up numbers! ESTIMATED??? By WHO??? Internet baloney! You don't know, I don't know, and we shouldn't know. All I know is IU needs to pony up and buy the other half of their new MASCOT, Half a BISON! The only MASCOT that has been pre-neutered in college sports!
