Scrimmage?

I have no idea. I hope you are correct.

Purdue’s stars will get paid and MP will adjust the ‘base’ pay everyone receives to be generally in line with market but I suspect you’re right, and Purdue will lose players at some point they want to keep. I hope we don’t lose any key pieces in advance of next season.

Painter has a knack of getting players to buy into the long term winning. It’s been pretty amazing really in the NIL age.

Not saying we might lose a guy. Not at all.

I just have no idea how our NIL shapes up with other schools.

Don't know anything about our NIL status other than we kept Zach, which I am sure was a feat. That was 1 key guy, and Purdue came through well.

But this roster is loaded with several key guys I would not want to lose...even down to our new frosh.

Seeing the high % leave other schools makes me glad for the culture and coach we have. But $1 M for Gillis. Man that's a lot for a guy that was an experienced super sub!!

Agree with that, although I do think there's a real chance that we could lose a guy we'd like to keep after this season (no idea who that might be). Hopefully, MP's management of NIL along with players buying into the 'winning has to be enough' philosophy mitigates that risk.

Agreed. Painter had a recent interview on Bragg's in the Stands where he said "We are better situated than a lot of people think," and referred to other schools not being able to pay players as being a problem, which was some positive insight I guess. He also mentioned how all Purdue freshman get paid the same, and then that amount gets raised based on production.

I honestly think we lose people more for playing time than anything. I don't see how you keep each of Heide, Colvin, and Gicarri happy.

If they’re all in the rotation at 15+ minutes and Purdue wins this year I think they’re likely fine. If those things don’t happen there’s real risk. Keep in mind that all three are Purdue legacies.

That approach might make recruiting a little tougher but is great for retention.

If he did get $1M.....or whatever...
I am sure whatever the amount the word got back to Purdue players. Whatever the amount...that adds pressure on Purdue's NIL program in a free market economy @ the end of this year.

Yes but the integrity of player painter recruits isnnt by nature prone to chase the Buck. His direct, fair, honest approach working to bring in players won’t run them out. For example, paints response to an underclassman saying they want to chase what Gillis got is, Gillis got that because he worked his tail off for five years here, developed as a leader, had humility to ride the bench, and had experience as a player in the national championship helped him earn $1m from Duke because that are all the characteristics they needed to develop as a program. They didn’t need a 5 star player with potential who wanted to chase the Buck. Of all people paint can get guys to buy into his process and I think most of our guys will see that.

Possibly.

But way more than 5 stars are getting offered $. If any of our players get offered 1+ M, I just hope we have the cash to match it. Further, I wouldn't think anything bad of a player's integrity or character for wanting to do best financially for himself. So not sure about your integrity comment?
