Chet is pretty good. his highlight reels are fantastic. but what are the odds of him coming to Purdue ? about the same as Dickinson's? I forgot, where did he end up anyway?
Call me crazy or an idiot if you want, but I'm not sold on Chet. he looks too thin. and I'm not sold on the competition Minnesota high school basketball offers.
Chet looks great in his highlight reals, but who doesn't?
Like i said, I'd rather have Edey for a year than banking the scholarship and hoping for Chet the following year. And if Furst's natural position is the 5 verses the 4, my desire for him is not as great as it once was. I really want to add two complementary wings in the 2021 class. And I really want one of those wings to be a 6'8 scoring machine to play the 3 rather than using all of these shooting guards in that position.
Chet is a great player and will be a great player for some team.
But I believe you underestimate the ability of Purdue to develop big men. A given is Edey is raw and rather new to the game. I am a firm believer that Edey with one year at Purdue could be as good as Furst and Chet coming out of high school in 2021. if you doubt my beliefs, then you also doubt painter's ability to develop big men. You've all witnessed how great painter is at developing big men. Is it crazy to believe that in one year he could develop Edey to be as good as Furst or Chet?
I'm doubling down on Painter's ability and me being crazy. I'm not sure you want to bet against me.
