Well as is often the case, the best answer is probably that it depends. We have all seen some NBA all stars responding to tweets with burner accounts (or forgetting to log out of their main account and responding as if on their burner accounts). You just never know what means something to someone and what doesn’t.In all seriousness do twitter likes/fan interactions even matter? I'm not sure they ever did, and now NIL has turned that upsidedown.
Nigel Pack had probably had 7 total from Miami basketball fans before 800K and a new Honda Civic came calling.
It's all for fun though and I hope these kids have families looking for their best long term interests.
Trent and Jalen should be turned off by the desperate IU trolls posting more than anything.Twitter likes? Yep that's how you land them. 🤣
Twitter likes, or, $$$...my guess is the latter is way more important in the ultimate decision than the former.Twitter likes? Yep that's how you land them. 🤣
Glad to have him & Sisley visit Purdue though.
When does Painter stop beating his head against the wall for kids who will just get bought when they are seniors ?Twitter likes, or, $$$...my guess is the latter is way more important in the ultimate decision than the former.
I think it says something as to where both went first...
I will be shocked if Haralson finishes at Fishers...it was beyond fishy how he got there to begin with...they failed (miserably for that matter) with what should have been a team that could (should?) have won a State Championship with him making his way there (which was part of the pitch in getting him there)...there is a ton of Indinia-influence and connections...I don't see any way that he ends up at Purdue, and, that was before NIL...frankly, aside of not being able to ignore a local kid as talented as he is, I am surprised that Painter/Purdue was even involved...with NIL...I don't see them remaining involved (well, they may remain involved I guess, but, I don't see them being a consideration really).
He has to do his due diligence certainly, but, to your point...it is a colossal waste of time, effort, energy and resources in a lot of cases, and, I feel like it is here admittedly.When does Painter stop beating his head against the wall for kids who will just get bought when they are seniors ?
Don’t know or heard of any of these folks but they seem to have impressive resumes. Strange the staffer is not a Purdue alum, not saying that should be a requirement but just strange.NIL situation could change in a couple years. We are a year or 2 behind. We’ll see what happens. This looks promising.
I hear and understand your logic. Painter is offering and taking commitments from some of these 4* guys early, Jack Benter types. He also has the luxury have having a few young studs in Furst and Kaufman, so misses won’t be a total disaster. I also feel like Colvin is as rock solid a commitment as one can have these days.He has to do his due diligence certainly, but, to your point...it is a colossal waste of time, effort, energy and resources in a lot of cases, and, I feel like it is here admittedly.
While content with Benter and guys like him...those are guys that fit Purdue...the more typical Purdue recruit if you will. He is not a 4-star...not by a long shot even...solid player and a guy, as I said, that fits Purdue...a guy where NIL is not going to matter (in part why he is going to Purdue). You need guys like him certainly, but, he is not the guy that is getting you to a FF and National Championship certainly...he has to be surrounded by some elite guys even for him to be as successful as he ultimately is capable of being.I hear and understand your logic.

Anyway, a commitment from a high end guard like this would be HUGE. No reason to sit on the sidelines for any guys from Indy. We may get fortunate. We may have an opportunity to get them in the portal down the line as well. It’s worth it IMO.
So was Gary Harris'He does have some ties to Purdue. His Mom is a Purdue grad.
Ugh. It won’t sway his decision but it doesn’t hurt.So was Gary Harris'
To your point...it is a tie, and, admittedly I was not aware of it (shame on me).Ugh. It won’t sway his decision but it doesn’t hurt.
I love what Trent Sisley brings to our team. I hope he recognizes quality people and not just hype and NIL money. Really want to see him in gold and back.Twitter likes, or, $$$...my guess is the latter is way more important in the ultimate decision than the former.
