Luke Ertel 2026

Yes. Plenty of turnovers. They play at very fast pace. Even with the running clock at the end, the final was 89-39.
It is hard to win like that and then go to the bench and shake their hands after...no matter if you tried to keep the score down or not. Not a good feeling on the winning side either... :(
 
I believe the case against red shirting is not that the player is bad. But that if the player is awesome, he won’t stay for that 5th year.

Brian Cardinal is a bad example because a lot things have change in ncaa basketball.

Sasha is a good example did he improve enough to be a great player his 5th year? Maybe.

Tkr is an excellent example! However, this is his 4th year. If he has a great ncaa tournament, his draft stock may rise and he may decide to leave and turn pro. If he does decide to leave that provides strength to the people who claim red shirting is a dumb idea. If he decides to stay, it provides strength to the argument of redshirting.

We shall see what happens
Nothing against TKR, Smith or Loyer but none are high caliber NBA material.
If they turn pro after this year it will to play in the G League or over seas.
They will get compensated, proportionately, nicely, with NIL money this year.

Luke scored 29 points as Mt. Vernon gave up a 15-point 4th quarter lead to Jefferson. Trey Singleton a 4-star 6'8 PF who choose Northwestern over many suitors Purdue looked ready to offer but never did that I know of. Trey said " Ertel is the best guard I have ever played" This kid is the real deal Kyle Neddenriep ( Indy Star) compared him favorably to you guessed it some kid named Braden. No one watches more HS basketball in Indiana than Kyle and no one doubts his evaluations. Having made it to the semi state Ertel will be favored to win it next year. What has become clear Ertel has more offensive weapons in his already deep bag of tricks. He finished the season with 22.5 points per 6 assist 4 rebounds ranked among state leaders shooting 91 percent from the charity stripe. Let the haters prepare to hate on me because I am all in on Luke. I totally agree with Kyle he is the next floor general for Purdue. This statement has nothing to do with another great addition in Antione West Jr. IMO Tone is a 2/3 due to his versatility and ability to switch 1 thru 5. Luke will allow announcers to sing the same old song about how Painter finds diamonds in the rough currently rated A 3 star. Nationally ranked at 136th.
