I saw on KC there is a 2pg thread going on about him. I know one of Eric's high school coaches personally. Just spoke with him and he seems to think Purdue has absolutely zero chance. Says Eric hates IU with a passion but would go there over us. X and Butler race right now for him. I guess I hope ground can be made and change the kids mind.
Eric Hunter Jr.

Lol...you sir, need a hobby. Defending CMP is becoming too time consuming for you. Me thinks you doth protest too much as CMP is 0 for '17 and '18 so far. Enjoy your weekend.
What's your prediction for tomorrow?

When you are whining about 2017 and 2018 recruiting at this point in time, you really don't have much and you come off ..... like a whiny little girl.
My position on this makes me smarter than you. You pretty much label yourself.
No big deal. I'd have to value what you think to be mad and clearly you have horrid judgment when you evaluate others anyway as your whining about Painter has proven.
But you keep responding and defending Captain Mediocre. Shhhhhhh.
It's a real shame the kid hates IU and likes them more then us... That seems to be a problem.
When he elevates himself, and thus Purdue, above mediocre, I'll become a fan. Until that time...
You don't bring anything to the table that needs refuting. Just throwing a tantrum about our coach and labeling him something that isn't even remotely supportable. And when someone throws an irrational tantrum, they remind me of a whiny little girl.
Honestly guys this thread wasn't made for you to bitch at each other. Nobody cares so quit
A tantrum would be better defined as someone (or a group of someones) that throw a fit any time an opinion different from their own is posted. You see little guy...they're all just opinions.
No. In this analogy, I'm the parent who must correct the child throwing the tantrum. I'm just a good guy like that. Always willing to help.

Why no interest? I really have no idea. When I saw the thread on KC. I called my friend. I know I wouldn't want the story about my dad brought up by Purdue fans every time my name was mentioned tho. I'm sure that doesn't help at all. As soon as we started recruiting him it's all ppl were talking about
Honestly, I take no sides on the Painter argument. I think both sides have made good points. I have fallen off both sides of the fence. The name calling just ruins the conversation.
Wow... This thread really sucks. Nothing to see here.
This is the Forum police. You are both under arrest. Please show up at the daycare early for timeout on Monday.
EHjr had a great visit this weekend to Purdue. Changing his tune maybe.
hope so. loved his dad at PU and hope to see son do good things in gold and black too!
Bottom line is if a kid doesn't want to come to your school there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Not one of us wants to be married to every person we date. Doesn't mean there's something really wrong with them but they just weren't the one. Come to think of it current recruiting trends mirror current marriage trends. If it doesn't work out just ditch it and look for another place to land instead of making the most of what you have.
Wow, how in the heck did he have a great visit? Did Painter keep him away from Ross-Ade?
I hope no one takes the time to do too much background research on this, but I don't know where you guys are getting your information from. Granted, it's been a few years, but I taught him when he was in 8th grade, and he had serious interest in Purdue. He was on a dynamic 8th grade team that literally blew other teams out by 70+ points. It was insane watching them. And, I had almost all of them in class. But, when I asked their coach at the time (I haven't worked at that school in years, and I don't remember his name), he said the 1 player that had the most D-1 potential was Eric. So, I talked to him about Purdue, asking if he had interest in Purdue (to use as discipline if he got out of line), and I could contact an assistant coach for him, if he was good, etc. At that time, and again, I acknowledge that it's been a few years, but he was extremely interested. So, I contacted an assistant that isn't there anymore, Micah Shrewsberry I think, and opened a dialogue.
(But, then I left that school and Micah left Purdue, so that broke down too), but my point is that I can attest to him being interested in Purdue for many years. If something happened between these years, I don't know, but he used to be very interested...

My friend coaches him in HS. Like I said everything I stated came from him. Hopefully he is/was maybe being over dramatic. I updated yesterday that EHjr had a great visit this past weekend
From everything I have heard, Hunter would be a great addition to the team. It is time we benefitted from one of those "fast risers" like G-Rob III. They are easy to miss when a coach works the long game and doesn't nourish a relationship with every possible player. In this case, his ranking will not reflect his impact on the game.
This is the main benefit to not giving out all your scholarships early. We didn't have one for GR3 by the time he blew up.From everything I have heard, Hunter would be a great addition to the team.

But unlike other programs, Painter isn't going to pull a scholarship from a kid for that reason.
Best quote on this board. I remember that meltdown....
I highly doubt Jr wants that story about his dad brought up every time his name is mentioned. Purdue fans should drop it and quit talking about it.
