Rewind the past 7 or 8 recruiting classes. Which top 100 guys end up at Purdue in a post-NIL world? Assume current levels of funding/participation.
2022: n/a
2021: Kaufman- nope, Furst- maybe
2020: Ivey- probably not
2019: Newman - probably
2018: n/a
2017: Eastern- nope
2016: Edwards- yes, but transfer after 1 or 2 years
2015: Swanigan- 50/50
The 2022 class suddenly appears to be near the ceiling of what can be expected going forward, guys in the 100+ range who are making basketball decisions vs. business decisions.
