Jeffersonville knocked off Fishers last night.

Evan Turner is a great comp for Singleton. I can't help but think Collins stole one right out from under our noses.
I don’t believe that Collins “stole one right out from under our noses.”

Purdue heavily recruited Singleton, and the talk was that Purdue was his first or second choice at one time.

It is my understanding that Singleton wanted guaranteed playing time/starter status, and that is obviously not CMP‘s MO. Painter is consistent in his messaging that playing time must be earned. This is also supposedly why Kannon Catchings decommitted, as Catchings and his family felt like he could get to the league sooner by being a day one starter. (Of course, Catchings is now in the portal after seeing his playing time significantly decrease during the course of the season at BYU and being recruited over.)

When Matt would not meet Singleton‘s requirements, Singleton chose his second option.

And he would have had to beat out 3rd year heide and Colvin or 2nd year CJ and Harris. And that wasn’t going to happen.

We can’t have everybody we want. Let’s just say Painter was recruiting him. This is another example of of Painter being able to identify talent at an early stage

I really wanted Singleton or maybe SWA in the string of recruits we had offered for the 3/4 slot paint was recruiting for, but we’ll fill it through the portal I believe. I think that’s one of the spots Paint is looking to fill.
