Outstanding news!Welcome to Purdue,Isaiah Thompson.You havesome big shoes to fill,as your brother has been awesome for the program,and I am confident you will fill them very well.
so this is for 2019, right? and it keeps saying he's a PG. he's a lot more like a short shooting guard.
Big get? Have seen him play a number of times and he is undersized for the Big, not very athletic, not strong, and not a true point guard.
Ranked 212th by the way.
Redshirt and hopefully he can help some by the time he is a senior.
He won't redshirt next year. He's a junior in high school.Big get? Have seen him play a number of times and he is undersized for the Big, not very athletic, not strong, and not a true point guard.

New account, only 2 posts are both denigrating, yup you're a troll. Now kindly **** off.Big get? Have seen him play a number of times and he is undersized for the Big, not very athletic, not strong, and not a true point guard.

He is for sure a good team guy. Just not what we need to lead us to the top of the big ten and deep into the dance.
Ok, so he's not ranked very high. and he's short and he's more of a SG. sounds a lot like Carsen Edwards . I guess this would lead Eastern to be our floor general like Magic was. that's not a bad thing.
"Tyger was the point guard we needed"? Do you know what class Thompson is in? Do you know what class Tyger is in? Based on your posts, you do not.Not a all. Just a realistic Purdue fan. I have seen this kid play many times. Tyger was the PG we needed.
Come on be honest, troll or idiot?

I can see his point.
IT is not really a PG. those of you who say he is are just trying to justify your love for him. IT is a shooting guard much like Alan Iverson. And yes, there are many who would claim Iverson was also a PG.
Looking at the year of his arrival, We will have Eastern, Hunter and Sasha. of that bunch, Eastern is the closest thing to a floor general / point guard.
I keep hearing IT could "learn" how to be a PG. but that just means he's not currently a PG. Could he be one? I don't know. But rather than saying what he could be, why not call him for what he currently is? He's a SG. and the fact is, we need SGs just as much in 2019 as we need PGs.
That's like everybody trying to say Eastern could become a SF because of his height. Eastern's best position is PG. So just leave him there.
it's OK to have a short SG who can handle the ball. We need some outside shooting. However, if he can't get his shot off against bigger guards, or of bigger guards keep shooting 3's over him, then we have a problem. I believe we'll next year in high school how he plays against bigger guards. I suspect he'll hold his own.
I thin k he does. If we signed Tyger in 2018, with our limited scholarships in 2019, do yo u believe we'd be looking to sign another PG? I highly doubt it. maybe we'd sign a guard, but if Tyger's on board, my belief is if we signed a guard in 2019, it wouldn't be a PG. So yes, if we signed Tyger, he'd be the PG we need.
I get tired of you people calling others with differing viewpoints as trolls. that's an 80's term. that went out of style with the Smurfs. it's time you came up with a new term.

Well, I get tired of you accusing others of calling people a troll when they did not. And I get tired of you answering for someone else when he has not demonstrated that he knows what he is talking about.I thin k he does.

How about Moron?I thin k he does. If we signed Tyger in 2018, with our limited scholarships in 2019, do yo u believe we'd be looking to sign another PG?

Thank you. Needs make a big part in offers.
I hope I am wrong on IT - but again, I have seen him many times. There is a reason he didnt hold a lot of big offers
Hmmm, I wonder why CMP targeted him as a high priority player and accepted a commitment from him a year before signing day? I trust the eyes of CMP to identify talent and then develop that talent as well. This is a kid who has a high ceiling due to his physical development still not being close along with having a high basketball IQ.He is for sure a good team guy. Just not what we need to lead us to the top of the big ten and deep into the dance.

Not to mention he has played pickup games against these same guys since he was in 8th grade...I’m sure CMP has heard through the grapevine how he competes.How about Moron?
Isiah is playing PG for Zionsville. Do you know where GRob III was ranked after Sophmore season? Bout where IT is now.
He is just starting his Jr. year. Geesh. Let’s see by 2019 where he is.
But I am going to guess you’re one of those that doesn’t see PJ very highly. Am I right? Isaiah has been around our program for 4 years. I am pretty sure Matt knows exactly what he is and can be for the Boilers.
Would you say PJ was a PG or SG coming out of high school?
I think PJ has been glue for the last 4 years. An all glue guy.Not to mention he has played pickup games against these same guys since he was in 8th grade...I’m sure CMP has heard through the grapevine how he competes.
