Where every final four starter ranked as a recruit

Interesting article. I love that Painter believes in finding the guys that fit the mold. This article seems to prove that rankings are often wrong and the eye test matters most. https://247sports.com/college/purdu...tarter-ranked-as-a-recruit-229803463/#2399416

Where did I get the stat that Edey was ranked #440? Was that before Purdue signed him?

Yes, he was not ranked by Rivals when Painter offered. Some time later he was ranked in the 400s.

436 to be exact!

"....but while his (Edey) size is a major asset, his skill set translates questionably to the NBA."

Footnote: Today's guard-oriented NBA. An NBA where every position is potentially a Steph Curry position. An NBA where Ewing, McHale, etc., would get the same critique while in college by today's NBA standards.

Indicative of NIL era. Not only these 4, but the top 16 teams.......many of these great teams have 1-2 unranked players that were/are older NIL recruits who turned out later in their careers. Cam Spencer, Lance Jones, etc.
