We get him first. Is that good or bad? I'd love to show him a Team USA medal, a team that enjoys playing and winning together, and lock him up early.
Eric Hunter Official Visits
- Thread starter punaj
- Start date
if Purdue doesn't land Hunter, this class might be in big trouble. Him committing could change a lot with how this class is perceived.
Looks like we are getting a visit from Colin too. Not sure how to feel about a final 8 and an official, which is only for 5. I'd say good for us, as a visit always seems good.
Expect Izzo to tearfully tell Eric that he has named his dog after him, or that maybe Izzo's mother has the same first name as Eric. You know, some sort of real emotional grabber to get him to commit.gold medal + teary eyed visit = instant commit, right?!
That is an interesting and somewhat diverse list, IMO.....four conference schools as well. We shall see.
Now this is a kid that based upon his physical attributes I would love to have at Purdue as a guard. I have really been impressed with the limited viewings I've seen of him. I have no reason to stipulate the physical side, but that is all I know about him. It would require some thought to find a guard I wanted more at Purdue. He seems to be as good as many before him...
This is a combo guard like I suspect Purdue is trying to move towards. He appears to have a scoring upside pretty high
on Hunter it appears that his exposure to Holtsman and Butler remained with Butler as a team and Holtsman at OSU.
If Purdue ..and that is an IF..could land Eric and Colin they would be good for some time
Doesn't that still piss you off to no end?!! Makes me puke every time I think about JJJ.gold medal + teary eyed visit = instant commit, right?!
Brian Snow supposedly is predicting Hunter as a Boiler. Hunter + Williams would be an awesome foundation for a class.
Combo guards make the most sense in a motion offense. The only thing the point guard really does, is get the ball up the court, but with the motion anyone can initiate the offense and it works best when everyone is a threat to score so the defense can't relax on a player. But with the motion, everyone has to be able to pass and at least be some what of a threat to keep defenses honest. Basketball has been moving to position designators being meaningless for awhile now, and the motion offense it's almost always been that way.
eh, I get your point, but getting Hunter would mean getting two top 100/95 players, one being a skilled big in Trevion, and the other being a good guard like Hunter. Getting a guard like Hunter would be big.
I am not discounting that and I agree, landing him would be huge. Not landing him won't be the end of the world though either.
I personally don't care where a recruit comes from or the stars next to his name. If we are winning like we have been, it is ultimately irrelevant.
Agree. Look at PJ, no high major really wanted him. He seems to be doing just fine. In fact, I'm sure a few schools who passed are kicking themselves. He just plays his role and wins, and that is a great quality in a PG.
And he is good enough from behind the arc that you have to account for him.
and from behind the half court line.
Twice I'm thinking and that is without replaying them
But can he play zone?
Sorry ... Couldn't resist

While I never really trust any recruiting news until there is a commitment or signed LOI, Snow wrote "Castleton has made it no secret that Florida is his dream school..." in this Scout article from this morning: Castleton Down to 8
Huge blow to the program if we don't sign him . It has been widely known he is Painters top choice for 2018 . Which may have swayed others to commit elsewhere . Great kid from a great family . Two dog race IMO and the other dog has a new trainer who has never won . I expect him to stay close to home just not too close .This kid has no quit in him he is a true leader and clearly makes his teammates better .Team Harris his AAU team battled every time out and beat several other teams with more depth .
I think folks are underestimating Xavier's pull on Hunter and they have an offer out to Henry. Xavier also made Henry's top 5. For some reason unbeknownst to the masses, Painter has not offered Henry. There are many rumors that Hunter wants to play with Henry.
This. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if both end up at Xavier.
Can't help but feel as if Xavier is the leader for Hunter.
we have 4 scholarships to give. Would it be bad if we gave one of those 4 to Henry as a package deal to land Hunter? We'd still have two left for a PG and a Big. Henry seems like an ok player.
I would think looking at some of the past package deals, they seemed to work out pretty well for the teams involved. Hummel and Martin worked out pretty well, although Martin ended up leaving. Zach randolph and green (? his buddy) worked out well for MSU.

we're not a code red for panic, but CMP needs to get some of these kids he's been targeting. Lock Hunter up.
%^$#! There goes the Boilers' shot.
