DEGREE? Some of these players come out of four years set for life. Prime's son is making 4 mill a year.as long as NIL $ is an option, they'll be a strong incentive for guys to test the market. Where they get a degree from is way down the list of priorities.
If Carr wanted to come to Purdue, Painter would have taken him in a heartbeat.Painter knows nothing about basketball? C'mon man.
who is Prime? And his son?DEGREE? Some of these players come out of four years set for life. Prime's son is making 4 mill a year.
Were they nudged in? All 3 are meh players really IMO.CJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and Peyton Sparks from IU have officially emerged the portal. I wonder if that’s all that will leave or if there are some more to leave as well.
Sparks should return to Ball State, he was pretty good there.Were they nudged in? All 3 are meh players really IMO.
someone else said the same thing. I didn’t realize how much weight he put on. Not sure their training staffs idea for him to bulk up that much.Sparks should return to Ball State, he was pretty good there.
Why don’t you think he wanted to come to Purdue?If Carr wanted to come to Purdue, Painter would have taken him in a heartbeat.
Have to imagine there will be moreCJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and Peyton Sparks from IU have officially emerged the portal. I wonder if that’s all that will leave or if there are some more to leave as well.
These are woodys recruits jumping off his ship lolCJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and Peyton Sparks from IU have officially emerged the portal. I wonder if that’s all that will leave or if there are some more to leave as well.
All announced within a few hours gotta figure Woody told them he needs their schollies for transfers. Galloway and Leal are expected back. they had celebrity and deep pocket NIL supporters at an event recently, they are pretty strong with NiL money.CJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and Peyton Sparks from IU have officially emerged the portal.

Their board seems to think Mbako, Ware, and Reneau are gone as well. They have 0 commits coming in and if true they would have three returning scholarship players who contributed (Cupps, Galloway, Leal) plus a redshirt freshman guard.
Xavier and Anthony Walker have exhausted their eligibility.
But Painter didn't try. You told us so.If Carr wanted to come to Purdue, Painter would have taken him in a heartbeat.
Gunn was offered by Painter. Good miss. Heide is better.CJ Gunn, Kaleb Banks and Peyton Sparks from IU have officially emerged the portal. I wonder if that’s all that will leave or if there are some more to leave as well.
I doubt he'd get any NIL money at Ball.Sparks should return to Ball State, he was pretty good there.
Does he need it after getting the money from IU?I doubt he'd get any NIL money at Ball.
He wasn't offered by Purdue/Painter. He'd be better served to drop a level, similar to what Newman and Lander did in going to Western kentucky.Gunn was offered by Painter. Good miss. Heide is better.
You are probably right. I recall that Purdue was recruiting him, but my memory is faulty about the offer.He wasn't offered by Purdue/Painter. He'd be better served to drop a level, similar to what Newman and Lander did in going to Western kentucky.
Ouch. Best recruiting class in school history… but who will they play with?Cliff Omuyri from Rutgers is in the portal. Rumor is St. John’s lured him into transferring. Curious if they can close the deal.
Wow. Wonder where he ends up. Could see him go to a Big East school closer to home.I saw this morning that former Purdue commit, PSU’s Jameel Brown has entered the portal.

Maybe but why wouldn’t he have followed last year? I have 0 knowledge but would seem odd to me then again there are a lot of smart people close to Kentucky saying Cal is gone. Also Dusty Mays to Louisville.Maybe to ND with Shrews?

This is how you destroy a program for instant gratificationThe goal is to win a NC, not just put together group of players who get along. Plus, none of us are in the locker room, we don't know whether these guys like eachother or not. But, if you can use the portal to build a better team and upgrade the talent, you absolutely do so.
Stay an additional year at Ball State. His NIL deal and playing time would have been larger at a better program.someone else said the same thing. I didn’t realize how much weight he put on. Not sure their training staffs idea for him to bulk up that much.
IU? Programs living in the past can't move forward without bumps. They'll just replace a coach and rebuild until it....never happens. The fan base is just as guilty as the administration.This is how you destroy a program for instant gratification
Not sure but saw a lot of smoke around it.Dusty confirmed to Lville?

Thought he was going pro? I'd LOVE to have him as a backup center project if I'm the Pacers.Cliff Omuyri from Rutgers is in the portal. Rumor is St. John’s lured him into transferring. Curious if they can close the deal.
You being serious? Cliff is still a major project - has never developed any offensive game to speak out. Freak athlete for sure and can’t block almost anything. Outside of that, chasing a big NIL deal is his chance of making moneyThought he was going pro? I'd LOVE to have him as a backup center project if I'm the Pacers.
I hope no one picks him up.Stay an additional year at Ball State. His NIL deal and playing time would have been larger at a better program.
Oh please. You were slobbering all over XJ his first year at IU.I wanted Marcus Carr, not XJ
Only an idiot would take Marcus Carr over Braden Smith.Anybody who knows anything about basketball would have taken Marcus Carr over both Smith and Jones. C'mon man.
