Didn't realize how homesick he was during his freshman year...

Nice article on IH on ESPN

Great kid, good character. Keep recruiting kids like Haas, and we will be fine.
His game is also coming along nicely, 16.5/4/8/0.8 thus far stacks up well against AJ's junior year 12.6/7.3/2.8
NCAA success will come, and when it does, it will be all the much sweeter that we did it right and by building around such high character kids like Haas, Swanigan, PJ, etc

wowing teammates with 40 chicken finger dinners...

How can you not cheer for that guy?! That is a player everyone can get behind and be proud of.
What a great read about a great kid from a great family. He is a winner in my book even if he never steps foot on the court again. That being said, hopefully he leads us to a national championship before he leaves and goes on to make millions in the NBA and most importantly of all, he helps find a cure for his sister and everyone else that suffers from such a horrible disease.
Great read....thanks for posting. Sort of reaffirms Isaac Haas as the gentle, jolly giant until you cross him. Can't help rooting for him beyond the obvious Black & Gold prism.
Why, there ain't no man alive that can eat 40 chikun fingas fuh dinna....
There are sick sports stories and then there are inspirational ones. This is so much the latter, wow. I read every word of this article since it had a grip on me whether it was Purdue-related or not. Glad it is our man though. Nice when these stories are told. Thanks for sharing.
We hung out after the Iowa game at Mackey last year talking to friends, and by the time we headed to the Mackey hallways, Haas was there and was signing autographs for some kids. I was still fuming from the loss and was surprised at how upbeat and calm Isaac was. He was hanging out with some family/friends he knew and they followed us over to the University Bookstore shop across from Mackey. He was goofing around and looking at stuff with his friends. You would never had known he had just played in a major college basketball game (and lost). Very level headed and calm. The proverbial gentle giant off the court.
Waiting for some jackass to find false with his mood - "he just lost, he should be pissed off, where is the fire??"
That said, I have noticed a considerable amount of fire from him on the court this season...
Hope this story makes it into the commentary tonight. Great for Haas, his family, and Purdue as a whole. Great young man.
