Painter wants players to come to Purdue to help Purdue win. I'm glad that's the case. As much as we say he gets guys into position to be drafted, they apparently don't have the skills/talent to succeed.
Purdue has had some of its best teams in the last 6 or 7 years and yet Carsen Edwards played in 4 games last year and literally was the only Purdue player to play in the league. Indiana had 6 players, Michigan 11, MSU 7, Ohio State and Maryland 5. Just for reference Georgia Tech had 5 and Duke had 20+.
Ivey will play next year but my guess is If you'd ask Painter he'd say its something he has to overcome at this point.
