Purdue is using the NIL, just differently than other schools. We are using it for retention to make sure we don't have to go hire mercs every year. So far the teams with the most success using NIL have been getting one or two really good players out of the portal. The hiring entire teams each season hasn't had very good results.
just off hand w/o doing any research, I think that big from Yale ( Wolf ) would have been a good add
I would have like to have seen another bigger guard who can get his own shot, penetrate and finish. Marquette exposed our lack of athleticism at the guard spot, same as Uconn did.
Not sure what is going on with him at K-State but Woof!

I am not judging based on a handful of games but something isn't jiving just yet for KSU.
Yeah something is up but would have been great had he come here. He’d def be having a better season haha
Haha (I assume) you’re joking cuz in reality that’d look really bad with future players haha. But I guess other teams do it …but that ain’t paint
Yeah he very well may have used the “not going to bring in a portal guy on top of you” as part of his pitch to DJ.
Players transfer all the time. No recruit would bat an eye at a guy like berg transferring to a lower level where he’s more suited to play.
