I'm Dying....

To know who Purdue will pick up in the off season. Anyone else? With the early post season exit I'm ready.

I am also very curious! I was thinking Bane would get offered, but maybe someone else is ahead of him we haven't heard about.

I'm guessing a 5th year senior or 2. If a good transfer were available, I could see that also.

I'm guessing that they are checking out grad transfer possibilities before making decisions on additional incoming freshmen. They also need to let the Stephens situation play out since they left the door open for him to come back.

I don't think the Stephens situation matters if they are planning on banking even one scholarship for next year, because he will be gone no matter what at the end of next season.

Happened to hear the coach of John A Logan College in Carterville, IL on the local ESPN affiliate this AM discussing a guard named Devontavious Payne. Kid is local from Carbondale and has played two years. Had looks from several schools including N Iowa and GA Tech but without saying so in so many words seemed to think the interest was maybe a little stronger from Purdue who had been in to work him out recently. Said most of the MVC schools were familiar but had stopped recruiting him because the felt he was destined for a major school and didn't want to put in the effort on someone they couldn't sign. http://thesouthern.com/sports/colle...cle_42322607-85d2-5c1e-88a4-f894c0b871ad.html

I think we won't see any new development until 25th, the last day a NBA-declared player can choose to return. I am also hoping Stephens situation would resolve by then.

He's only a sophomore so he's a 2018 recruit. Sounds like a high level prospect.

I may be reading this wrong but if he has graduated from high school and is in Junior college, why would he be a 2018 recruit?

you are correct. graduated high school in 2014. Just finished Soph year of JUCO. University of Cincy has already offered. Shooting guard. Can get to rim as well. but six foot 1. i still like it......

I've seen 6'1" or 6'2" and 180. Doesn't really matter about the 1" as long as it's in that neighborhood. I caught the end of the conversation and didn't get a chance to call in but I'll ask more about him this week. I know John A runs a very fast paced offence and are traditionally among the better JCs in the midwest.

Sounds pretty promising.
