Yeah if he wants to have a good amount of playing time he will have to beat out 2nd year burgess, DJ, 4th year Berg and 5th year TKR…tough to do in a complex system. So don’t blame him haha.This doesn’t necessarily speak to SWA, but it seems to me that the perception that the roster will be loaded next season is working against filling the 25 class.
$$$?Why okie state???!
Same problem after 07 class. It's a hard sell to a talented player with options.This doesn’t necessarily speak to SWA, but it seems to me that the perception that the roster will be loaded next season is working against filling the 25 class.
also if one or two RS like Benter and/or Burgess, that would be like being in the following yr's classSame problem after 07 class. It's a hard sell to a talented player with options.
I’m not sure that there’s really an overwhelming need for a significant 2025 class unless a lot of guys leave. Especially if Burgess redshirts and will be competing at his position along with TKR and possibly Heide and Waddell. Two 7+ footers at the 5. It’d be great to have but not really a huge necessity.This doesn’t necessarily speak to SWA, but it seems to me that the perception that the roster will be loaded next season is working against filling the 25 class.
If the goal is another Final 4 next year, having flexibility for impact transfer wherever a need is exposed this year is not a bad spot to be.I’m not sure that there’s really an overwhelming need for a significant 2025 class unless a lot of guys leave.

I get TAMU, they got the money and have been good/at least competitive….but ok state 🤨$$$?
Close to home?
Looking at the roster it appears Brandon Newman will be cowboying up this season.I get TAMU, they got the money and have been good/at least competitive….but ok state 🤨
I would guess it’s due to Lutz being the coach there nowLooking at the roster it appears Brandon Newman will be cowboying up this season.
Could be playing time close to home or perhaps he likes the Cowboys?
If bridges aren't burned, Painter may be able to pick up some of these guys later from the portal.Yeah if he wants to have a good amount of playing time he will have to beat out 2nd year burgess, DJ, 4th year Berg and 5th year TKR…tough to do in a complex system. So don’t blame him haha.
If T Boone Pickens is around they have plenty of money to throw at recruits.I get TAMU, they got the money and have been good/at least competitive….but ok state 🤨
Boone died a few years back.If T Boone Pickens is around they have plenty of money to throw at recruits.
I like Lusk, but I do agree it's an odd choice as they look like a team destined to be a cellar dweller in a deep Big 12 that just added Arizona.
I can't imagine Painter burning any bridges with a recruit he doesn't sign.If bridges aren't burned, Painter may be able to pick up some of these guys later from the portal.
True. Believe he “donated” his money to the university of the tune of billions.His money likely hasn't.
His hair is different in the Vanderbilt pic so that's definitely a no there.The official graphic.
0 read on this and going to spend $0 on insider information to find out.
I have several chickens available if you'd like to cut them open to divine the future of Purdue Athletics?His hair is different in the Vanderbilt pic so that's definitely a no there.
Coupled with the dual 33 jersey at OK State means that's a no there.
Looks like his eyes are closed in the Auburn pic. So a no there.
Ergo, he's coming to Purdue!

he's in the front row, we have a 50% shotMy clue is that his tweet says Final 4 and Purdue is the only program listed that was in last year’s Final 4. 😜
don't even have to choke your chickens to divine the future of our football programI have several chickens available if you'd like to cut them open to divine the future of Purdue Athletics?
He has a year left?I would guess it’s due to Lutz being the coach there now
So, its down to us, Auburn, Ok St, and Vandy for SWA. Any idea where he's leaning?He came in with Ivey and Edey right?
Just depends on what he’s looking for! Ppl said TAMU and Okie state, but TAMU out. OK state is more than likely going to be in the lower half of the big 12, but maybe they have more money to offer and it’s close to home? Maybe can play a ton right away?So, its down to us, Auburn, Ok St, and Vandy for SWA. Any idea where he's leaning?
I know he said he wants to decide in November. Being the optimist, I say he picks Purdue.
Yeah, he did say he was big on winning and Purdue's culture has shown that. I find it interestingJust depends on what he’s looking for! Ppl said TAMU and Okie state, but TAMU out.

Vandy, good education but never will be a powerhouse for bball. Prob will get as many mins as he wants.
Auburn, got the money but will need to reload as they lose a ton of their roster after this year (if I remember correctly). I assume he’d play good mins.
Purdue, won’t get paid as much probably, has opportunity to play a lot, but will be tough with a very experienced team. BUT he will be on a team contending for (maybe) a 4th straight conf championship or 3rd in 4 years. Also, get developed by one of the best in the front court, play with his buddy Jacobsen and compete on a NC contender…but just may not play a ton right away or at all.
Yeah he can from highlights I have seen and can shoot the 3. Still a bit raw but the skills are there for next level…if he’s developed correctly. He’s also got some high level athleticism.Yeah, he did say he was big on winning and Purdue's culture has shown that. I find it interesting
that his rivals profile says "small forward". I didn't know he could handle the ball that well?
Like a Lamar Odom or Tracy McGrady type? What would be a good comparison?Yeah he can from highlights I have seen and can shoot the 3. Still a bit raw but the skills are there for next level…if he’s developed correctly. He’s also got some high level athleticism.
