Saw that PJ's brother had an unofficial visit to Purdue this past weekend. Does anyone know how talented of a player he is/ceiling? His strengths and weaknesses as a player at the moment? Don't know much about him.

From what I heard he's pretty good for his age. Was the starting pg at Zionsville as a freshman, pretty big school too. Don't matter how good the school is, that's pretty impressive!
I would love to have him at Purdue. From everything I've heard about him, there's going to be a lot of big schools after him. I hope PJ can help get him to Purdue.
Just to add to this, according to Maxprep, he averaged 19.2 ppg, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals a game. Shot 43% on field goals, and 39% on 3 pointers. Those are pretty damn good #s for a freshman.
He has been a regular on campus over the last 3 years with PJ being on the team. I would think being a brother of a player that lives relatively close, he would be considered almost like a little brother to a lot of the guys on the team and wouldn't be surprised if he played some open gyms with the team.
Looks like a talented young guard & we know from PJ that he comes from a family that instills good values & work ethic.
I think the brother connection helps us, but there's also the truth that sometimes a little brother wants to chart their own course rather than follow in big brother's footsteps. I hope he chooses Purdue, but let's not think the sky is falling if he makes a different choice.

Oh believe me, if he doesn't come here the sky will be falling!! I can hear it already "CMP can't even get the little brother to come here"
