evidently several pro scouts at Mackey last night, whom improved their stock most? Hart, Swanigan, Haas
 
Just my opinion, but I think Haas has the most NBA potential. Biggie is going to be a really good college player and most likely play in the NBA. He is going to have great skills but slightly deficient in the athleticism department. He is playing as hard as I have seen anyone play in a long time. Well spoken young man as well. Concerning Haas, can't teach 7'2" and 290 lbs with 10% body fat. VE falls into the dime a dozen category as far as the NBA goes and needs to step it up at the college level.

The more I see VE, the less I think he's going to play in the NBA. He's a good college player, but he's not elite, has a really slow trigger on his jumper, isn't a great athlete, etc. He's similar to lots of good 6'8 college wing players who have some inside/outside game but just aren't pro level skilled.

Agreed, which is why this year is so big. Yes, we probably have Haas and VE next year, but losing Biggie will be huge. Hopefully we see a very different CE come B1G play than we did on Monday, because he has the ability to really make this team go.
 
I wouldn't say Biggie is 100 per cent gone next year. It appears early he has improved a lot from last year. Who says another big jump between year 2 and 3 would elevate his stock to a lottery pick. He also seems to be buying in to the college experience more.
If we make a deep run this year, it might be enticing to stay another year with everybody back and more depth. We would be a top five rated team pre-season with a lot of fun hype.
Unlikely, but wouldn't totally rule it out.

He gone. Don't kid yourself.

I think next year is big too. Purdue will have 5 seniors (PJT, VE, IH, DM and BS), four of who are multi-year starters. Adding the improvement of players on the current team (Carsen has much room to grow) and the freshman class (NE will definitely contribute, not sure about the others) and Purdue should be pretty damn good.
