Iowa State has been in contact and mention Houston, Cincinnati, Ole Miss and Purdue as the main competition right now.
Is PU recruiting Devin Davis?
- Thread starter Catfish_ Crazy
- Start date
So far this offseason, the prospects that have been mentioned on this site as being recruited by the staff:
HS:
-Desmond Bane
-Matt Chastain
JC:
-Devin Davis (formerly at IU, ran over when he drunkenly or whatever he was on jumped out at teammate's moving vehicle)
Grad-Transfer:
-Kellon Thomas (Kent State)
With how it's going early on, they might as well offer Bane. What's the downside to him, other than his defensive ability (which obviously can improve) or the idea that he hasn't played good enough competition to prepare him for major DI?

Great question. I would say zero. I know of one player who attended both schools -- Woody Austin. He attended a satellite iu campus to get his grades up so that he could get back to playing for Purdue.
Not sure f are referring to Davis or not but...Expect a ton of Troll crap from the south to be dumped on the board if that happens. It would be fun if he played really well though. Not sure if I would be happy with it but doubt anyone cares.
if this is true , why not? The guy made a mistake, its over. I am lucky I didn't have worse things happen to me the way I was at that age.
ok , I was just going by what I had read , I know nothing of the guy other than the accident
yeah, and if you were having grade issues at Purdue wouldn't you go to an IU extension if possible...smart move!
I'll bite. Share the additional story (or be prepared to be called The Krunk Jr)!
At one point in time if you transferred from one Big Ten school to another you had to pay your own way!
Pass on Devin Davis. I would think Desmond Bane has more upside than him.
Projected Scholarship Players For 2016-2017 (from shortest to tallest, just to get a feel for roster size and depth):
1. P.J. Thompson 5'9 Jr.
2. Carsen Edwards 5'11 Fr.
3. Dakota Mathias 6'4 Jr.
4. Ryan Cline 6'5 So.
5. Basil Smotherman 6'6 RS Jr.
6. Vince Edwards 6'7/6'8 Jr.
7. Caleb "Biggie" Swanigan 6'8/6'9 So.
8. Jacquil Taylor 6'9/6'10 RS So.
9. Isaac Haas 7'2 Jr.
10. open (Desmond Bane?)
11. open (transfer of some sort: JC POY PG 6'4 Jaylen Barford has entered his name into the NBA Draft: maybe he's just testing the waters but will he de-commit from Arkansas afterwards? One can hope for awhile, anyway.)
12. open (grad transfer 2 guard: Akeem Springs, Rodney Pryor, Grant Mullins all seem like good prospects)
13. open (grad transfer 4 or 5 with shot-blocking ability: could even be an athletic wing as long as they can be a rim-protector)
If the coaching staff can fill out the scholarships with that level of talent and experience, I will be excited to see what this team can do, even if there are some limitations.

Don't know about players, but Versyp coached at both. Robert Vaden committed to Purdue, before changing his mind & going to IU
Yes but that didn't stop everyone. Funderburke went from IU to OSU and Recker went from IU to Iowa (via Arizona).
Actually I have never hated the IU team itself, its the IU fans who I have hated , with their arrogant attitude and act like every time they win its the best thing that ever happened , but when they lose you don't hear a word, so I got no problem if a guy comes to Purdue from IU. I take exception to players like She-He, no one liked him
Jeff Meyer coached at both. Was on the Lee Rose Final Four staff and then on the Kelvin Sampson staff at IU. He has been with Belein at UM for the past few years. He was the coach that Clappy charged with wrecking the IU program after a game at Ann Arbor a few years ago.
Here's a list of 25 JC players that are believed to have an immediate impact at the DI level:
http://hoopniks.com/25-potential-impact-junior-college-prospects-for-2016/
Kavell-Bigby Williams just committed to Oregon (him, Boucher, and Jordan Bell together: they have some rim-protectors), so there's only about 5 players on the list that are still available.
I hope Jaylen Barford pulls his name out of the draft and then changes his mind about Arkansas: he's an athletic scoring/passing guard that can really create and make plays.

I mentioned in another thread that I heard the JA Logan coach on ESPN local in S IL Saturday discussing Devon Payne and the name causing the most excitement amongst he and the radio crew was Purdue. Seemed to be some strong mutual interest.
As far as D Davis goes wasn't he at IU nearly long enough to get a degree under their vaunted accelerated athletic degree program. If so he could play anywhere immediately.
ya know I thought that...but didn't touch it. I remember when Knight wanted 5 years so kids could get used to college and it made sense. Makes one wonder how things changes so much...
Likely wasn't given the credits deserved for Drunk Car Surfing.
Among the countless many of its distinguished scholars, I believe Purdue University has had two Nobel Laureates in Chemistry while they were serving as professors:
Herbert C. Brown and Ei-ichi Negishi
Here are some of Devontavius Payne's stats from this past season: http://stats.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2015-16/div1/players/devontaviuspayne9gpg
He's listed at 6'1 and seems to be a true 2 guard. I wonder how good he is scoring and passing off the dribble.
As I've mentioned, my dream scenario JC addition for Purdue is Jaylen Barford. He's listed in the 6'3/6'4 range and can play either guard position (good assist numbers for how much he scored): http://stats.njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2015-16/div1/players/jaylenbarfordf5n6
He had a high steals-per-game average as well, which might be correlated to his quickness and overall athleticism.
I don't think the staff should try to get more than 2 JC players because of the availability of future schollies.

I can't imagine anyone feeling dumb next to you. Even your trailer park neighbors must feel pretty smart with you around.
BigDogDog is starting to sound like Captain Meat Pants. Pretty soon he will start talking about Crean's junk. Ban coming in 10... 9.... 8....
What a fool.
He committed to Houston yesterday, quoting that he could "TRUST" cheating Coach Sampson...kids never learn!
Sampson in Houston makes it easy for supplies for his players to make it across the border just in time for post-game/post-practice relaxation.
