That must have been what the Ann Arbor rag was referring to when he committed to UM and they reported that Painter wouldn't let Nojel play his game... but things would be different in Ann Arbor.Neubert talked about it at one point.
Unless it's about recruiting where we are always in good shape and then suddenly he just completely stops talking about them.He has a little more inside info than about anyone . He is usually right on.
or that's the nature of 17/18 year old kids making decisions.Unless it's about recruiting where we are always in good shape and then suddenly he just completely stops talking about them.
Nojel's high school game did not transfer well to college ball. He wanted to handle the ball and drive to the basket, which worked in high school for him. It would just result in a turnover in BIG basketball, and Painter knew it. Jelly was just not quick enough to be a consistent driver. The only way Nojel's game would have been successful was for him to follow what Painter said, and get additional skills, like a pull up jumper. Hell, he was athletic enough to put that together but never did.That must have been what the Ann Arbor rag was referring to when he committed to UM and they reported that Painter wouldn't let Nojel play his game... but things would be different in Ann Arbor.
That did not age well.
I guess you guys put a lot more stock in what Brian Neubert reports than I do.
You're a little sensitive aren't you? Neubert your big brother or something?Well this is a GBI message board... why are you here if you put no stock in what he says?
Oladipo was a 3 year player and zelker was a 2 year. Both top 5 picks. Ivey has the potential to be as good as either.
Treed for sure and a few on this board that agreed with her.

I think you could see the type of player he was in the very first game he played. Actually in the first five minutes you could see the talent. Lots of expectations for him..and I think he will back them up.Its not impossible, obviously i am rooting for the kid, but you are choosing the exceptions to the rule over 10 years of NBA drafts. Ja was a 2nd year player too, just not common.
Also the type of leap Ivey needs to make to make it into the top 5 or 7 would be huge. I said last year he was a NBA talent and future 1st rounder, but now to say top 5 or 7? Probably not, but ofcourse anything is possible.
Brian provides good info on KHC. To say he is rarely accurate you clearly don’t read his paywall stuff and is completely false. He has been wrong but is cautious about reporting anything unless he is confident and when he is wrong it usually is about a recruit having a change of heart. Having said that, he doesn’t have much inside info, Brohm and Painter hold their cards close to their vest and I don’t think they particularly like him.Well I guess we disagree then. I think his info is rarely accurate. I don't think he's near the insider he wants you to believe. This is one of the few free Purdue sports message boards that actually gets some traffic so I check it out. I also check out the headlines link page while I'm here. But I can't ever imagine paying for something here that you can get for free elsewhere.

Where does he get info from, if not from the coaches? Like with TKR for example?Brian provides good info on KHC.

Ethical coaches are not going to share info with media people about potential recruits.Where does he get info from, if not from the coaches? Like with TKR for example?
Tom handles football primarily. I don’t know what the beef was but you can read it in the body language from painter. And carsen reportedly had issue. It may just be association with these boards. Painter made comments and so did sasha when Wheeler left that seemed to show frustration towards the message boards and negativity here. Lots of people attacking good kids.If true, I think I can understand a big part of why that's so, and that's a very bad thing when it is a primary part of your professional responsibility to develop relationships with head coaches of the two primary (flagship?) sports.
"...not answer any questions."All coaches are annoyed with reporters. I probably would be too but you can’t make millions of dollars in any job and not answer any questions. What Brian and others do also increase awareness, enthusiasm and a willing to donate. It works both ways too but if you want big bucks and to get paid, people are gonna wonder what’s going on. It’s one if of those things where you say “what did you think was gonna happen?”

Hell, a lot of us support Brian. Lot of respect for him. And no, we aren’t related.You're a little sensitive aren't you? Neubert your big brother or something?
Sometimes how we carry out our decisions is as important as what that decision is, Russ. When Nojel left with no warning to Painter that he was even considering leaving it left a sour taste in many Boilermakers’ mouths... Starting with Painter.I'll never understand all the Nojel Eastern negativity on this board. He went to Purdue for 3 years and he always played hard. He then decided to transfer. So what? It was his right to do so. Wish him the best in his life and move on.
When Query and Shultz was on 1260, Painter was also really open and did good interviews with them and those two didn't play or coach. So not just basketball experience thing.i don’t feel like all reporters are treated the same by painter. Painter is actually pretty transparent except for injuries. He opens up a lot on the Dan Dakich show.
Just spitballin here, but will Matt treat another former professional coach who is on a radio show free to the listening public with listeners who enjoy listening about Purdue sports different than someone with no basketball bone in his body who sells the information and interview behind a paywall to a base who openly criticizes him and his players?
Agree. I think it involves a lot. Do they have SOME relationship? Paint has been on their show a ton. Do they ask good and knowledgeable questions? Are they "Purdue friendly"? Are they local and know about HS and CBB in the area? You're not going to go into detail with answers when guys don't ask you detailed questions.When Query and Shultz was on 1260, Painter was also really open and did good interviews with them and those two didn't play or coach.

Maybe he should switch shooting hand a la Ben SimmonsJust going to leave this here.
2021 Tampa Bay Pro Combine Recap: The stats
Some stats that stood out to me: 2nd fewest minutes played of all players listed, 0-2 on free throws, 1 assist and 5 turnovers. He was also the only player listed to not score a single point.Just going to leave this here.

At this point I think he’d be better off just switching sports completely(or going back to college and getting a degree). Might be a better football player than basketball. There’s no future for him in basketball unless he wants to move overseas and play for some obscure league that doesn’t pay well.Maybe he should switch shooting hand a la Ben Simmons
I kinda like it because it's really eased the load off Scott MartinI'll never understand all the Nojel Eastern negativity on this board.

correct. he wasn't that great of a ball handler either.He wanted to handle the ball and drive to the basket, which worked in high school for him. It would just result in a turnover in BIG basketball, and Painter knew it.
i think there's something about not have a clear dominant handedness that makes shooting harder. For most of us, we use the same doninant hand for directed throws and precision movements like writing. Folks like Lebron have different hands for both, he uses left for writing, right for throwing, and he can comfortably finish with both.They say Ben Simmons should switch hands, Tristan Thompson actually did switch hands.
For the record, Tristan cant shoot, yet he shoots better with either hand than Nojel currently shoots. Sad, lots of effort, perfect NBA body....cant shoot.

but how far do you shoot with each hand?I usually use my right hand to finish, unless my left hand falls asleep and I am in the mood for "the stranger"
