Malik Ondigo

I don't know much about Ondigo other than what's previously been discussed on here. Does he seem capable of making an instant impact next season?

So Nojel posted a picture last night with him and Painter at the Final Four game.

There was also a post by Malik that he was at the game.

Not a conspiracy theory guy - just connecting the dots.

PS I do realize Malik lives in Phoenix.

Not an instant impact guy, but will be pretty good after a year or two. He reminds me of a longer Ike Diogu. Yes, that's a lot to live up to, but he's improved a ton over the last year.
 
Purdue is definitely one of the schools that has intrigued Ondigo. While Jack Owens was the one leading the recruitment, is promising that they were able to nail down his first official visit with Owens now gone. He is a hard playing, active, versatile defender that competes. Would be a solid, four year type of big man addition.

National signing day starts next Thursday - probably know more than for sure.
 
Let's get this guy, and we will be loaded up nicely for the future. Painter can work his magic with him, and prepare him for the next level. I hope recruits like this get to interact with Cardinal a bit. I would love to see Cardinal join the coaching ranks.

Cardinal would be an excellent staff addition. Will need to fill the big man void with Owens leaving. Hard player that had a long NBA career. Sign him up!
 
Considering the competition, we certainly should be able to get him if we want him. I'd rather see an athletic and skilled guard but I don't think we are in on any of those guys at this point.

Somehow Painter and "work his magic" in relation to recruiting just seems a little off. :)

Brandon Brantley is the big man coach. Seems Purdue needs a guards/wing coach now.

Btw, Ryan Smith had left as HC at local high school Benton Central to take a job with Owens at Miami (OH) as head of basketball operations. Congrats to him on moving up quickly. Have heard Kenny Lowe may be going with Owens as well. Nice little Purdue makeup there if that's the case. Guessing they would try to become a little brother program in Fort Wayne for guys that aren't quite talented for Purdue, IU, Butler, or ND. Could build a solid program if they can do that.

"Ryne", like Ryne Sandberg

Painter probably won't hire a guy that's known as a big-time recruiter if he doesn't know him very well, but it might not be a bad idea to go outside of his bubble and do just that.

Agree in organizational leadership to improve you have to go outside of the normal comfort zone. To not do so is to stay comfortably where you are at which often never allows the leap in improvement needed.

Who is your source on Smith I don't doubt it but can't confirm it .

Can CMP even offer him, without knowing for sure what Biggie is going to do?

Wow...big jump for Ryan since he has been in high school just a couple of years. Went to one of his games after a brother-in-law told me he thought Ryan did a pretty good job in what he could see in his first job

Just think of all the time he has wasted chasing after Ryan Smith when if Ryan had just told us now who he was Painter, who needs to go see other coaches to learn stuff, wouldn't have wasted so much time and maybe missed out on Ryne's commitment. Dammit why don't they listen to ME!
