Not to split hairs, but if you don't get an offer, can you really say someone was recruited? If you're actively recruiting someone (versus just keeping in touch and seeing if someone develops) that means you want them to come play for you. So, I don't think you can say he was recruited by MSU, UM, etc. They may have seen him play and talked to him but if they didn't extend an offer, then he didn't fit their caliber.
When he decided to transfer, he was highly coveted by Purdue, Xavier, and later Louisville. That should tell you the kind of player he will be.
Your position, not mine. I believe you are mistaken.
My son and I no this kid my son played against this kid in high school in the sectional championship he was a problem this kid is a work horse he plays hard he’s physical he rebounds well he will not get bullied or pushed around. Went to that school I believe bcuz his mother and father went there. He did have power 5 offers he was heavily recruited he gonna help Purdue out a lot of you ask me. You are right what you saying about this kid bcuz he played against Jalen Brunson in HS as well ask him how tough he is. He will compete against anybody he won’t be a push over
No way does Hunter redshirt unless injured. Offensive game is skilled enough to play and provide points. His time will hinge on his defensive mindset and ability to adjust.
Im giving my case that in no way is Evan the 5th, or 6th best player, and giving my best evidence and predictions based on limited knowledge. Im in know way disparraging any player. I gave the example that perhaps Nojel is better, but that would be dependent on how much better he has gotten, Ive given that I dont l how much they have gotten better, but as of last season Evan was likely better than all said players. Im making the point that Evan is really good, leaving him out of the starting lineup is preposterous.
Fair point but last season was last season and a new season is upon us and speaking of my son he didn’t forget how to play basketball he just didn’t play much That’s all. All those players will help Purdue win games that you can best believe
Cline can't play defense yet painter will most likely start him and play him major minutes.
He might start, but he won't play major minutes unless he plays defense. You can be sure of that.
I have pretty much only heard about his scoring. He could have been a good defender in high school, but there is a big difference between single A high school and the Big Ten. Even if his fundamentals are there defensively, I'm not sure he will have enough strength to be a good defender his first year.
Cline playing over carsen during the end of his frosh year had literally nothing to do with clines or carsens defense. Carsen started to play too out of control. And you are right there is not really any point trying to argue with me about clines defense. Only the biggest of purdue homers would try to argue that he's even an average defender.
I don't put as much value on pick and pop with tall centers. Yes, MW gave us issues but with more mobile front courts these days, I don't think it would be as much of a mismatch. If Haarms is more consistent with a developed midrange and close range offensive game, I'd be very happy with that. He could be very efficient there because of his height and agility. I was also not much,of a fan with Biggie taking 3s because it took our best rebounder away from the basket during a shot. The rebounding dynamic will be different this coming year, but I'd still want our agile 7 footer relatively close to the basket for all shots going up.
My question to you...and it's a critical one for the team and one that I hope you can and will assure us all he'll hit 80% or more...did he work with what I thought was the weakest part of his game....free throws? His motion and release may be worse than Charles Barkley's golf swing.
Haven't you already posed this question in 2-3 other threads? I think it has been answered. Now stop.My question to you...and it's a critical one for the team and one that I hope you can and will assure us all he'll hit 80% or more...did he work with what I thought was the weakest part of his game....free throws? His motion and release may be worse than Charles Barkley's golf swing.
Maybe....just maybe...Cline worked on his defense. And maybe....it's a lot better. Just maybe.
Sir plz let’s not go there now you seem to be trying to pick an argument and I’m not gonna give you the response so how about this you will find out what he has been doing when season starts plz leave me beMy question to you...and it's a critical one for the team and one that I hope you can and will assure us all he'll hit 80% or more...did he work with what I thought was the weakest part of his game....free throws?

You are being an A$$ now don’t worry about what my son is doing.My question to you...and it's a critical one for the team and one that I hope you can and will assure us all he'll hit 80% or more...did he work with what I thought was the weakest part of his game....free throws? His motion and release may be worse than Charles Barkley's golf swing.
Don't respond to this provocation. Twin has mode several posts in the past 2-3 months about this same topic, and each time you responded that Nojel is working to improve his FT. Either he doesn't read people's responses, or he doesn't want to believe what he reads, or he is just being an ass.
neither one is redshirting... both will see minutes at the 5, Williams some at the 4
