Painter goes into the portal
- Thread starter TwinDegrees2
- Start date
I get wanting to play at a school you probably loved as a kid, however, in this case he pissed away of eligibility, hope he returns to Testicle Tech lol
Give me a break. It’s an NIL world of free agency. If that’s how you get better and win more, then you do it.
Are you unhappy that we got Lance Jones for 1 year?
Wrong. I wanted XJ to replace Hunter.
You just said you wanted Carr, not XJ, and I proved you wrong.
And then reminded everyone of your idiotic Braden take.
Some of us don’t need to hear it from a press conference. You obviously don’t have those type of connections.
Welp he went to Michigan where he can terrorize IU for awhile and their fan base can wonder what if for a few years
Just saw that. If he can pull a couple of his guys from FAU and lock up some portal kids, he might be able to put something together.
Davis, Goldin and Martin all are juniors and can join him.
Now the real question is…can they get their credits to transfer to make them all pass “Michigan’s standards”?
If I were Dug and knew those 3 were headed to Michigan I may seriously consider staying

Painter said in recent interview that he would not be taking any players from the portal.
100%. I’ve developed an affinity for Smith. He’s been much better than expected.
It doesn’t bother me to miss on a prediction.
I’ll do the same the next time Painter recruits an undersized guard no one else wanted.
Well we’d need like 3 guys to leave at minimum to even think about the portal 😂
It would be interesting to know how many portal players start for the last 12 (including this year) FF teams.
I know Tristen Newton was the only starter who was an incoming transfer for UConn last year. And he was their 4th best player (and is now a stud this season).
Kansas didn't have any transfer starters the year before.
Bringing in one senior when you have an opening is different than jettisoning multiple guys for one year hired guns. I want to see a FF as much as anyone but would not like the Miami model of one FF then trash the next year.
They had a key piece in Remy Martin at PG who was hurt most of the year and that forced DaJuan Harris to play PG more than thought of. Martin was HUGE in the NCAAT.
Ok this was a rough check for 2022 and 2023 (I did include some bench players that played decent mins):
2022
UNC - Manek
Duke - none
Kansas - Remy Martin
Villanova - Caleb Daniels
2023
UConn - Newton, Alleyne, Calcaterra
SDSU - Leedee, Trammel, Bradley, Parrish
FAU - Goldin, Gaffney
Miami - Pack, Omier, Miller

It would be interesting to know if you ever ponied up that $1 million you claimed to provide to the NIL to get the players you want. It takes serious money to bring in top "free agents". Don't be a welcher and then whine that you aren't getting what you want.
Me either. but it's got to be awfully tempting for teams vs the grind of building long term success. Some coaches aren't good enough to recruit well year in and year out AND be the X's and O guys come game time.
You did it for Carsen Edwards and you did it for Braden Smith. 0 for 2, but yeah, you'll keep going.
Connor Essegian from Wisconsin in the portal. Don’t think he is the last one - rumors been running that AJ Storrs is going to leave.
As an Indiana native would not surprise me to see him at iu. A shame for him, but on the positive side might be a way to pick up a nice nil package. Hope it's Butler or ISU. Hate to see a good dude play for the bad guys.
Unless Woodson says he is planning to run a modern offense to let guys shoot 3s, I don’t see that as a good move.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see him end up at DePaul.
He’s like a modern day Rip Van Winkle. Took a 40 year nap from college hoops, woke up and is still trying to win the 1980 Title.
Lil Andy...when will you learn. I loved Edwards and Ivey. Didn't love Smith or IT.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go to iu… he’s a shooter and that’s what they are in dire need of. I think he could cash in on NIL being he’s got the goods they definitely need. He was evidently pissed that neither Purdue or iu really recruited/pursued him coming out of high school so he could be the Hoosier shooting hero coming home to save the day. Can’t you already hear the spin?
Revisng history again? loved Edwards after you saw him play. When Painter offered, you said he was too small, not enough stars, and his offers didn't meet your standards.
Until someone posted a clip of Ivey schooling a 5-star guard in an AAU game, you whined about Painter offering another 3-star players with no other major offers. It was always your knee-jerk reaction to Painter recruits. Not surprised you're denying it.
