Like it really matters. The football attendance will be terrible

I think Texas is NOT being sarcastic. It is good that there is no game.

Where's it say he's visiting?

I don't know much about Eastern, but his offer list is impressive. Hopefully, he loves his visit.

Which player (or players) will be his shadow/tour-guide/whichamacallit?

 

[*Shockerrr*]

Haven't seen/heard anything about him visiting this weekend??

Which player (or players) will be his shadow/tour-guide/whichamacallit?

I would say giving him Biggie or Haas if you are going with straight personality to win a guy over. I would love to walk with one of those two or both all day on campus to hear the banter and commentary!

Xavier Tillman is also has an official visit this weekend!

Unless of course he's swayed by the look of a stylish turtleneck

I think once one of those dominos falls, either in Purdue's direction or not, will cause a lot of movement.

Would love to see what the itinerary of the visit is for some of these big time recruits. Obviously, they're going to get a campus tour, meet with the academic advisor, meet with Painter, etc, but is it typically and overnight deal? Do they go out with the players to party? Are they allowed to participate in a scrimmage with the team or do they just watch practice from the sideline?
Would also like to know who the best 'salesman' on the team is and how Painter decides who will be the players host?
Back in the day, I know there were female 'hosts' for the recruits. Are they still around? (I know Louisville uses them.....)

If the dominoes don't fall the right way, Matt Painter's next job might be delivering Domino's.

No Burke will find a way to give him another extension.

Burke's got like 5 more days as AD. I don't think he can screw it up anymore. Even if he tried...

That's why I said he will find a way ....
even if he is only teaching a class at Krannert

Actually, Painter's extension is in the hands of the BOT right now. So his extension was engineered by Burke, although I'm sure Bobinski was consulted.

Very doubtful if Bobinski had any say. He was not hired until early August.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Bobinski wasn't consulted. In the last press conference from Burke, when he was asked about giving Versyp and Painter extensions he stated (paraphrased): "I don't think I did anything he wouldn't have agreed with" (referring to MB2). And I think he also went on to say that they hadn't yet had a chance to really talk about things, if I'm remembering correctly. But I absolutely recall his quote to the effect of above.
