I think Catchings is coming in on April 1st.
Oscar Cluff to visit Sunday
- Thread starter DwaynePurvis00
- Start date
I haven’t seen him play in person, but kind of agree with you on him. Currently with the players on the roster and the new ones coming in, he looks to be squeezed out.
They might start to get scheduled over this next week now that we are out of the tourney
Give Benter a chance before writing him off. Ertel and West are 1/2s. Benter is a 2/3. Painter likes shooters and recruited him for a reason so I don’t see him leaving this year especially after a red shirt season with no film.
Those end of year 1 on 1 meetings with Painter could get interesting especially if they already got portal guys coming in for visits.
Playing time, only so many minutes if everyone returns. I hope they all return, I think it’s 50/50, we’ll see.
But, it’s not a valid point. These guys know what they’ve signed up for. There are no guarantees. If a player gets his psyche hurt because the coach is looking to make the team better, then he should just not play high level athletics.
Portal is open now. Everyone still in the tourney is in the same boat.
Guys know where they stand. If a guy is actively involved in the current 'project' he's going to believe he'll have a good role on the next project.
If his role on the current project is making copies and going on coffee runs, he's probably not thinking he's going to be a leader on the next one.
I guess if they’d want to go to a mid major or a P5 team that won’t compete for an NC…
Heide and Colvin were near 20 all year and gicarri was at 15 as a Frosh. All 3 contributed very well from mid Feb on. I’d be shocked if any of those 3 move on for more PT for next year as they all will be around 20 min next year and have an opportunity to get more mins if they develop even more over the offseason.

It would be catastrophically shortsighted to judge a player by the school he attends.
Steph Curry (among countless others) says hi.
Alabama's Grant Nelson is damn good and he came from someplace like North Dakota.
Considering that neither Burgess or Jacobsen played last night it surprises nobody but you that they didn't get a rebound.
Rather than saying a player is the best player in the portal, it is more appropriate to say and accurate to state a player is currently the best player available at his position.
There are many more players that are better, but they play different positions.
When it was announced Cluff was considering Purdue, two other centers who entered the portal had already signed.
Is Cluff better than Flory? Maybe, maybe not. But Flory wasn’t in the portal when it was said Cluff was the best player.
The portal is fluid

If they really want a rim protector Flory is the guy.

If you just showed me the profiles of Cluff and Flory I would take Flory. But Cluff's ability to pass and shoot 3's is hard to overlook. Saw highlights against Alabama and looks like he can play with the big boys.
Can we get an insider on how the visit is going right now!? 😂
My gut says that Flory will return to Kansas with a very high level of compensation. I think that this is mostly about money. I could be wrong, but I am not holding my breath waiting for Flory to come to Purdue.
I have seen Auburn and IU are the two to watch. Would make sense what you’re saying tho.
My basis is a post I saw on the Jayhawks Reddit that basically said this came from his guardian. It’s hard to tell what is real, but I doubt that Purdue will get into this bidding war.
Me too. Word of Kokomo before he committed was that Pearl was contanstly seen around town to make his presence known to Flory. He was tight with Auburn. Perhaps he had buyers remorse with Self.
For IU, I'm hearing his parents or guardians like IU, his gf goes to IU and Drew Adams will be an IU Asst and he is tight with Flory. Considering it's the internet, possibly only the Drew Adams being names an IU Asst will be true.
Your “point” has been refuted over and over again.
For your hypothetical to be applicable, the “presentation” you describe wouldn’t even begin until late summer/early Fall of 2025
If your boss found someone within the next month or so who could do a better job on that 2025-2026 presentation, that boss would be derelict to not bring that person on board!
Iowa State just picked up a 6'11 guy.
Good sign for signing Cluff for us.
Yes i seen that so why would cluff go to lowa state i mean purdue going to be good next year
Money is a consideration. No idea where we are NIL wise.
Blake Buchanan committed to Iowa state…soooo would Cluff commit to us?
That’s seems highly likely now
The presentation would have been the next day when the Houston game was since we announced the visit and that we were portaling and who we were contacting in the portal prior to that game..
Whatever. It does seem like I am in the minority, and everyone thinks recruiting over our current players in the middle of the tournament is a positive thing to do. So I will not push it any further.
Don’t think it’s a positive thing to do but it’s reality now in college hoops. We don’t know what conversations Painter had with current players. For all we know Waddell told him he was gone next year.
Brian seems to think Cluff is gonna sign with us.
Is that a good thing? I have to admit, his highlight reel doesn't leave me very impressed.
But then again, I'm wrong lots. And lots. Just ask my wife.
He gives a second low post scorer who can rebound. Teams can’t ignore him like they did furst (not trying to be critical of him) when he’s on the floor. Was second in the nation with rebound per game (12.3)…leader was 12.4. Def need rebounding for next year. With JUCO ruling he could have two years left of Eligibility.
You and I must be watching very different highlight reels.
