We recruited him and we still have one to give for coming year. Top 50, 6'8", 210#, small forward from Texas. Painter should reach out at least.

Kansas, UNC, Oklahoma State, and Florida.who is? I can't find it.
so White goes there and he stays ... life is simple.Kansas, UNC, Oklahoma State, and Florida.
I never said I would pass on him. I'm saying I'm ok with getting a sf in 2020 because its very likely a top 50 recruit will have 10 colleges go after him, so its unlikely we will get him.If the guy is what Purdue needs to a T, why wait another year? If you're at a Methodist pot luck dinner, do you pass on the best deserts and say I'll get them the second time around after I finished my other food? Nope!
I didnt say you should sit back and not go after him, quit making shit up. Of course you go after him wtf.Just because something is unlikely, doesn't mean you should just sit back and allow other schools to go after the prize! If you want somebody and he fits your need, you go after him. And you don't care what other blue blood is also recruiting him. That's why they are called the blue bloods! They do not fear losing out on a recruit to some better school and if you get out recruited, at least you tried
As croc Dundee would say, you're the best gang in town. What did you do last night? Did you let some blue blood steal your recruit? Or did you follow some crazy wolegib guy and go after him?
So what you’re saying is Coach Painter is in line has his Swiss Steak, Cheesy Potatoes, Green Beans, maybe a Roll, I mean he’s pretty loaded down. When out of the corner of his eye he spots some Mudd Pie and your suggesting he abandons his current plate and hits the desert table to circle back for the first plate or balances said desert plate on his forearm while clumsily holding a Cup between his middle and ring fingers while depressing the cooler button to dispense some Damn Pink Lemonade. Seems like Bad Form Wole. My analogy comprehension sucks I blame it on my ADHD. Also Potlucks make you appreciate a good waitress!If the guy is what Purdue needs to a T, why wait another year?

Is this supposed to be demeaning towards Swiss steak?So what you’re saying is Coach Painter is in line has his Swiss Steak,
Swiss Steak certainly isn’t ChoiceBeef buuuuttttt the gravy and mushrooms help the cause so yeah I guess you could say I’m Pro-Swiss Steak but only with an Ice Cold Beer something cheap with just 3 letters like PBR or MGD.Is this supposed to be demeaning towards Swiss steak?

If I had to bet, I would say he goes to Kansas with RJ Hampton.I just checked their scholarship grids. Kansas has 2 scholarships left but already signed 2 small forwards (1 recruit who is regarded to be as high as Wilson and 1 transfer). UNC has no scholarship left AND already has a signed 5-star SF recruit. OSU has no scholarship left and 2 SF recruits (although 3-stars). Florida has 1 scholarship left but already has a 4-star SF and another one already on the roster. Baylor, another school who he was high on, no scholarship left and has 3 scholarship SFs already on their roster.
I think we have a chance here.

I can't wait for Wheeler to gobble up big minutes on the wing this season and beyond.
Honestly, I see our 19-20 Starting line up as this on day 1:Can't see wheeler getting much time as s 3. I think he fits much better as a 4.
Hunter will start. The talent is there he had a typical freshman year with limited playing time. Haarms and Tre will play together at times but neither will average more than 30 minutes a game. I can see them playing 8-10 minutes together per game. Eastern will be playing the baseline if he doesn’t demonstrate the ability to shoot in the first half dozen games - I hope he gains his lost confidence and becomes a scoring option on the perimeter.Honestly, I see our 19-20 Starting line up as this on day 1:
Eastern
Proctor
Wheeler
Tre
Haarms
People are going to eat me alive for having the 2 bigs in there at the same time but I really think this lineup to start games gives us a great offensive team and allows us to match up well with other teams too with Haarms on their 4 and Tre on the 5 unless he's just massive.
What changes would somebody make to this?
Sir with all due respect Nojel will be playing the PG position I can bet that and will be scoring and shooting the ball as well he has more to his game than what was shown confidently he’s at a great place now more shots available to do some things now.Hunter will start.

Hunter may start in place of Proctor in your projected line up. Eastern's shooting is just fine, and he will start for the whole year at PG. He doesn't need to score 20 points for us to win. Eastern's back up might be IT or it might remain Hunter. It will be interesting see how that situation plays out. It is nice to have a surplus of good guards.Hunter will start.

I would be surprised if we ever see that lineup to be honest. I think we'll have some combination of eastern, hunter, sasha, proctor, and Newman starting 1-3, with wheeler at the 4 and haarms at the 5.Honestly, I see our 19-20 Starting line up as this on day 1:

'Cuz it's the boring as hell off-season and this is the most fun we can figure out. You can take away any position-designators you want from my list, it;ll stay the same.I don't understand why everyone still assumes these antiquated, traditional positions. CMP has shown that he prefers playing 4 around 1. Haarms, Tre, and Dow are ALL playing the C position at Purdue for the vast majority of their careers. If we play an 'old school' team with 2 bigs (like Minny last season) then yes, we might play 2 bigs...but normally- no way.
We most likely will not have a Center AND a power forward in the game. We just won't. It clogs the lane, reduces driving ability, hinders defensive rotation, takes away a perimeter shooter, etc, etc. Assuming Wheeler makes the improvement jump we are hoping... he will play the '4' everyone talks about. He has the height/length/athleticism to guard the taller players in the post.
CMP typically seems to have a lineup like this (if we insist on breaking it down by position):
PG
SG
SG
F/SF
C
I don’t see Nojel anywhere but the starting point Guard. You will see him get some buckets working the baseline as they roll through motion or on some called plays.Hunter will start. The talent is there he had a typical freshman year with limited playing time. Haarms and Tre will play together at times but neither will average more than 30 minutes a game.

This. Wheeler is a 4, not a 3. Too slow laterally on D to guard many wings.I think we will have an 9 man rotation for the most part.
My projected lineup:
Eastern/Hunter
Newman/Proctor
Sasha
Wheeler
Haarms/Tre/EB
I would like to see Wheeler become a Glenn Rice type of player. He has the athleticism and shot. He just needs to gain strength and confidence.This. Wheeler is a 4, not a 3. Too slow laterally on D to guard many wings.
This. I'm excited for Nojel to be far more offensive minded next year. And he hopefully does have a break out season. Then you are going to hear the "for a guy that can't shoot...where's this been?" I've maintained (as you have been very adamant as well) is that Nojel just hasn't shot enough because that wasn't his role. Im still a bit baffled by the folks that say he needs to develop a jump shot...he just hasn't shot enough to say either way IMO.Sir with all due respect Nojel will be playing the PG position I can bet that and will be scoring and shooting the ball as well he has more to his game than what was shown confidently he’s at a great place now more shots available to do some things now.
Your in point sir you get it. He didn’t forget how to shoot he didn’t get many opportunities to shoot them plus confidence want completely there so he decided to not shoot not bcuz he couldn’t but bcuz he didn’t want to bring his field goal percentage down and he want shooting just to be shooting the ball bcuz fans or others told him to do so. He made a choice to win games and do everything he cud to help team win. He had shooters on the team he was the PG he played his role to get his teammates involved in the offense and just settled in on running the offense finding his teammates rebounding defending being the all around player he is to help put the team b4 his shooting. He can shoot always cud he knows he’ll have more opportunities to shoot the ball score the ball bcuz the offense very well may be more suited to his style of play than the last 2 years bcuz of the personel that was here b4 him. Nobody knows my son better than me and he cud do more offensively than what he showed 19/20 he will show what he really can do wait and see.This.

Looking forward to some dunk videos, I know he has a couple dunking tricks up his sleeves.Your in point sir you get it.
