What if he finds 2, but they're both 6 foot 165. You going to trash them before they ever play a game?
Isaiah in the portal

Well, this whole thing was all about you after all! Who would have thought it. At first I thought this was a thread about Isaiah, but no!
Depends. Are they elite athletes? If they're built like Carsen Edwards with that athleticism and shooting ability, then bring em on.
It doesn't bum me at all. It's the game we have now with open transferring. Either you get with it and use it or you are going to get left behind. I'm hoping this just reinforces what some of us thought already, get a PG from the portal for next year. I really like our roster next year if it includes a strong guard from the portal. We only need 1 good year from that guy and we are set the following season at guard.
He really wasn't even 'right' about IT frankly, but he'll take credit for it anyway.
Let’s hear them. It’s lunch time for me so I need something to do.
Happy for IT, but Painter’s history in these situations is not good. I assume we will be ransacking the roster of SW Austin State to find a defensive specialist. Hope I’m wrong, but CMP just does not understand the position.
Which part isn't good? the transfer portal? John Octeus was a good get and understanding the PG position he was okay with CE right? He also is recruiting well in that area going forward.
I think what has changed is the game as whole at the PG spot and now he just needs to recruit for it. Hunter while having some lapses for a bit, was a good PG in the end.
I think most underestimate how hard it is to recruit good guards. Every team wants the best and for whatever reasons, most aren't attracted to Purdue.
No it doesn't, we are an engineering school. If it wasn't for spell check, we wouldn't spell anything right and spell check doesn't always help with names.
It’s because of our old school, low post centric offense.
Sure didn't help when Indinia rolled it out on a football jersey.
I disagree about Hunter. Hunter would have been a pretty good shooting/scoring guard. But, he does not have the handles or quickness to be a good PG.
Nah, I hear the National powerhouses of St. Peter’s, N Texas and Little Rock might have some guards Painter can use
Okay we'll just disagree then, he did fine the latter part of the season. Doesn't matter anymore anyway since he isn't coming back.
I thought Hunter did a great job the latter half of the year. Even though he wasn't recruited as point guard, he did a tremendous job taking that role this year. And he hit open shots when he had the opportunity.
He’s plenty quick, especially for a 6’-3” guy. Just doesn’t have a great handle going right.
And if he does you'll be back here bitching that Painter "ran him off."
I haven't taken the time to count the players on scholly, but I know that playing more than 8 gets a bit iffy for many coaches and there is always value for those that help in practice, get a few minute, but never disrupt the chemistry damaging those that do get a lot of minutes. I wish him well. What it tells me is the Isiah and/or Matt think there are a couple of good guards coming in next year...and a potential portal transfer as well.
ya know you read the "taking care of the ball" and your mind turns to turnover problems...but many of those were Zach being a bit slow and not strong with the ball and Trevion passing to where nobody was or to the other team
I called it when he signed and said the same about Sasha! To the dismay of many here who resorted to being defensive and name calling. This team has badly needed a pg to run our team and that pg needs to also be able to play defense and be over 6 feet tall. Instead of going after more 5 star centers, it’s way past time we recruited and signed an actual point guard rather than another shooter! Rather than shooters, we badly need somebody who can handle the ball and also handle a press. IT was never that player
I thought Thompson had a role on this team although a niche one, ie come off the bench and hit a couple of 3s.
This says it all. For some reason all of the best and pure point guards do not want to play for Painter. Perhaps Painter needs to examine his offense and change it and start going with an offense that is guard oriented and what other teams use!

Well, Jaden did lead the team individually with 94 turnovers in 37 games, but Trevion and Zach combined for 143. Take that away and … oops, they did.
He’s 6-4, had some big games late in the year, can pass and rebound the ball. All I said if I heard from a reliable source that he would like to come to Purdue, I never said that Painter was interested, he might not be.
Couisnard, my bad, he played at South Carolina, they aren’t my favorite team. All I heard is that he would like to play at Purdue, his mom is ill, maybe it’s a fit maybe it’s not. Geez, just throwing a name out there, relax.
What percentage of the teams points, rebounds and assists did those 3 provide tho? Double edged sword.
When IT was first recruited out of high school the experts here said he was a shooting guard in high school who could also handle the ball. He was not a pg! Painter tried to transform him into a pg that could shoot because he already had plenty of shooting guards. The same could be said with Edwards, Hunter and Ivey and every other guard that Painter has recruited. He recruits shooters and hopes his motion offense will compensate for their lack of point guard skills. We have not had a real floor general in a very long time. And every year that deficiency is exposed in the tourney.
It has been said that many baseball teams are built for the long season and not the playoffs. The Yankees and Brewers are two examples! Their teams are talented but not constructed to win a short playoff series. The same is true with Purdue under Painter. He constructs teams that will always win 20 games in the regular season but are not constructed to be competitive in the tournament! I don’t even get upset anymore. Until Painter changes his philosophy, what you just saw is the expected outcome.
Painter tried to make IT something he was not. He did the same with Hunter! Maybe one day Painter will recruit and sign an elite pg rather than another shooter.

Got some problems when three people considered the better players average 6.4 turnovers a game that easily could be 8 (4X2) to 12 (4X3) points a game. Then what is the effective turnover rate in missing Fts by Zach and Trevion. I'm not trying to dismiss the many good things they do, but it isn't all good. Just imagine the coaching crapshoot of wanting Trevion in for a critical bucket towards the end and him getting fouled...which was fairly recent. Again, I'm only trying to point out some problems that existed and nto denigrating any of these players that contributed so much to so many wins
IT didn’t fail Purdue. Purdue and Painter failed him by not utilizing his skills.
something not being talked about. I suspect this will have a trickle effect on his brother

Or.. neother "failed" the other and IT lost confidence after Iowa and never got it back. It's not talked about because it didn't happen.
I like PJ, but what exactly is his role? 1st team clipboard holder? I doubt his staying or leaving has any impact.
Also, you couldn't play the 3 of them at the same time ever. Very strange roster construction. We won 29 games so obviously there was a lot of good. But still hard to not have your best 3 on the floor the majority of the time.
