Purdue is going to have another great year. I think a FF appearance is our ceiling.
I'd say Kansas, Connecticut, Alabama, or Arkansas wins it all. Thoughts?

The rich are getting richer in many places, due to the portal, NIL, and the last year anyone can take a Covid year. Many guys are playing another year in college instead of attempting to go to the NBA but instead ending up in the G-League or another country. Sears returning to Alabama is a big one, and they also got Omoyuri (sic?) from Rutgers I believe. UConn lost 4 guys but kept Karaban and reloaded with some transfers and the Indinia decommit McNeely. Arkansas got Cal along with a handful of his UK players and recruits.We may struggle some early, then make a run.
But I am not familiar with any of the 4 rosters you mentioned or anyone else's for that matter. But I was in Bloomington last weekend & have it on good authority that iu will be a FF team. 😎.
Kansas. Welp..........
They offer everyone in the top 50…unlike IU tho, they actually get a few.Kansas. Welp..........
I would pick Kansas or Purdue if I were him.
Yah , before he took the official visit to IU LOL 😂not that it matters to us but Moreno chose UK
They’re hoping Reibe picks them.Yah , before he took the official visit to IU LOL 😂
Huge get for UK with Moreno. Had fall officials set up to Arkansas with Calipari,Yah , before he took the official visit to IU LOL 😂
Good for Mark Pope keeping the local kid home.not that it matters to us but Moreno chose UK
I don’t mean to minimize it, but you look at that list of offers and that’s always felt like a strange offer for Purdue. I don’t recall Painter ever entering into a competition like that as late in the game as this one was.
I don’t disagree, but keep in perspective that Moreno was cut from the same USA basketball U18 team Daniel Jacobsen just started on.Huge get for UK with Moreno. Had fall officials set up to Arkansas with Calipari,
IU, UNC, and Ohio State.
No I agree. It was a late offer…seemed more after he had watched the U18 team. Thought maybe we had a chance haha.I don’t mean to minimize it, but you look at that list of offers and that’s always felt like a strange offer for Purdue.

I would be very happy with one signee on Painter’s ‘first tier’ list for 2025, regardless of position. Having only one scholarship offer out until fairly recently combined with a pretty thin in state class seems really challenging for Purdue.No I agree.

Haralson, Sisley, singleton and SWA are still in play that I think could happen—probably only 1-2 of them.
JH probably going out of state.
Sisley is a really possibility.
Singleton - I think we are the best program that has offered. But not sure where we stand
SWA…no clue where we stand with him, but us and KU are the top 2 programs there. He is from Texas so I’m sure Baylor and TAMU play a factor there. Auburn with Pearl and that NIL always a threat, but they’ll have to reallllly hit the portal next year with so many pieces gone after this year.
Well if we whiff on the recruiting front…do we…dare I say…. Go into the transfer pool 🫢 😱I would be very happy with one signee on Painter’s ‘first tier’ list for 2025, regardless of position.

I agree with your assessment on Haralson and Sisley. For Singleton, it’s going to depend on what’s important to him. Louisville has obviously really struggled but is his hometown school and may be very tough to beat out if they make him a priority.
Agree with you that the Texas schools and KU are likely to be real obstacles for Williams-Adams.
That's the interesting thing right, where are you optimizing for the short term versus the longer term? I suspect they offered a kid like Khamenia, which is not this staff's standard MO, because he was skilled enough to step in and contribute from day one next season on a team that will likely have very high goals.Well if we whiff on the recruiting front…do we…dare I say…. Go into the transfer pool 🫢 😱
IF everyone returns the 25-26 team will likely be top 5 and a title contender.Well if we whiff on the recruiting front…do we…dare I say…. Go into the transfer pool 🫢 😱
Yup. Only recruit IMO that could make a significant impact next year for the team would be Haralson. All others would be minimal, but would be really good players for us in years 2-4.IF everyone returns the 25-26 team will likely be top 5 and a title contender.
If Sisley and others go elsewhere, I think Purdue could be pretty attractive to a portal transfer 3/4 or 4/5. That's a year you put all the eggs in the basket to plug any weaknesses IMO.
Wow, I did not know that. Moreno is probably going to be a McDonald's All-American in 2025.I don’t disagree, but keep in perspective that Moreno was cut from the same USA basketball U18 team Daniel Jacobsen just started on.
It's going to be exciting where these guys decide to go. Nothing against Sisley but his buildNo I agree. It was a late offer…seemed more after he had watched the U18 team. Thought maybe we had a chance haha.

Too bad, his highlights with Team USA looked alot like Robbie Hummel.
What practice clip you referring to??Wow, I did not know that. Moreno is probably going to be a McDonald's All-American in 2025.
And while watching a practice clip of C.J. Cox draining 3's, I saw Jacobsen drain multiple 3's in the
background court. And that was supposed to be his weakness in high school.
10:20 - 10:45 mark. #44 in Black Jersey in background court hits 2/5 on right side of 3 line. 40%.What practice clip you referring to??
yeh, I think we have a season similar to Marquette's this yearWe may struggle some early, then make a run.
But I am not familiar with any of the 4 rosters you mentioned or anyone else's for that matter. But I was in Bloomington last weekend & have it on good authority that iu will be a FF team. 😎.
Yeah makes sense. Not sure where he would fit with next years team and if he wants to play right away, I don’t think Purdue is the place for that due to our “logjam” of experienced players at his position next year. I also don’t see how IU fits that either for him, as they have a similar problem (unless they have players leave).Mullins is not taking an official visit to Purdue!
I think it’ll be UK, or maybe UConn.Yeah makes sense.

Also saw he said he loved his UConn visit and Hurley told him that if he came to UConn, he’d only be there for 10 months. Now, Mullins is a good player, but I think he’s at least a 3 year player…Hurley shouldn’t be lying to kids like that—just my two cents.
His say teammate (Moreno) is recruiting him hard there and there would be time for him next year and I’d think UConn would have that open spot for him too once mcneeley leaves (if he’s the real deal).I think it’ll be UK, or maybe UConn.
Purdue makes Top 4 for Antione West Jr.No I agree. It was a late offer…seemed more after he had watched the U18 team. Thought maybe we had a chance haha.

Ah I see Beef added in another thread
Here's Mullins 9 listed official visit schools:I think it’ll be UK, or maybe UConn.
And nothing against him being a 2-3 year guy. He’s very good. But if we try to predict/look into where he might go…Here's Mullins 9 listed official visit schools:
AL, UConn, IU, Duke, Kentucky, Michigan, UNC, TN, MSU
The Duke visit is only mentioned on twitter by his Dad.
The MSU visit is only mentioned on 247Sports.
I would be surprised if Mullins ended up at AL, IU, or MSU.
KU, Purdue, ND, and UVA also offered but no official visits.
That's a lot of BIG offers to a kid that might miss the 2025
McDonald's All-American game. Looks like a 2 or 3 year college guy to me.
You could be right. He still has 8 official visits to take. That's one busy kid.And nothing against him being a 2-3 year guy. He’s very good. But if we try to predict/look into where he might go…
Purdue and IU (assuming the backcourts are all back) don’t have a lot of mins for him to play in his first year. So I think both are out and I’m sticking with UConn or UK.
For sure. Same with Haralson.You could be right. He still has 8 official visits to take. That's one busy kid.
Haha. Only the ones that love the recruiting game and traveling a ton.For sure. Same with Haralson.
I wonder how many kids actually take ALL 8 visits haha
Mullins isn't coming to Purdue, 99% sure. I'm guessing UK.For sure. Same with Haralson.
