Agree completely about how Johnson played, but IU’s record was so much better with him than without him, because he was a very good on ball defender and their other options were far worse—freshman Cupps and CJ Gunn

Who signs with Purdue this fall?
- Thread starter Fugs
- Start date
So based on visit schedule, we are 100% out on Mullins? Is that what I understand?
I still think we get Sisley. The rest - who knows.
Haralson - wouldn’t surprise me if Shrews pulls him in. I can see the comp to Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum.

I probably shouldn’t be but I’d be happy for Shrews if he landed Haralson. He’d certainly be featured there and would get good coaching.
Completely out on Mullins but not on Haralson. Extreme longshot but given the family relationship there’s a world in which he comes in to play an important (not lead) role on a championship team.
I just really don't see any reason why Shrews would get him over us, but been surprised before on occasion.
Depends on what Haralson wants out of a program. Hope he chooses Purdue.
I can think of at least two reasons:
1) unlimited guaranteed minutes and the opportunity to be 'the guy'
2) potentially (likely?) a larger guaranteed NIL payout
A potential third selling point is the NBA connection, i.e. 'we'd run for you similar stuff that we ran for Tatum, Brown, etc.
Nebraska or Us

Three-star guard Antione West is down to Nebraska and Purdue
Three-star guard Antione West has cut his final four list of options down to two schools and will make his college decision on October 1st.

Purdue and Painter will be fine either way but it would be a real kick in the nuts if he chose Nebraska.Nebraska or Us

Yeah, agree. I'd guess that he either doesn't have a committable offer or he's just cut down to the programs that have made him a priority. Toledo is also kind of a weird part of Ohio for OSU. There are definitely a lot of OSU fans there but it's closer to Ann Arbor and East Lansing than it is to Columbus.
Agreed. I feel like someone posted that Purdue was too far away for him…and now he’s chosen two programs not really near where he grew up 😂
That is incorrect
I believe everybody has 15 scholarships now going forward. Yes, West is a 25.
From next year on, it goes from 13->15 but you have roster caps. So essentially no “walk ons” but wonder if they can be “practice squad”.
So with going from 13->15 we will have 3 spots open (with Furst graduating).
“The removal of scholarship caps and changes to roster limits are part of a major settlement agreement involving three lawsuits against the NCAA and the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC: House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA.
These lawsuits address various aspects of benefits for D1 student-athletes, including Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). ”
Painter stopping in for Williams-Adams
So he likes Nebraska coaches NBA experience and Purdue’s players, culture, academics and Matt. Of course I’m biased, but sounds like Purdue if those comments are trueNebraska or Us

Good news. Parents love painter so when they are engaged it usually goes well for us.
Sisley said he wants to be more like a guard so the comparison to Hummel and Vince is perfect. They were 4 and played some 3 but their style of game was more like a guard and not with their back to the basket.
If I'm MP and company I'd use the Hummel / Vince comp as well, but my understanding is that Sisley is significantly shorter than either. I wonder if a more skilled version of Gillis might be a more realistic comp. I don't mean that as a knock on Sisley as Mason was a great player for us but Robbie was an AA and Vince was first team all Big Ten and in the conversation for BTPOY as a senior and I'm not sure that Sisley will be at that level.
Edwards and Hummel listed at 6’8” and Sisley is listed at 6’7”. So not a huge difference but who knows what each of their actual heights were/are lol.
I believe Hummel was listed at 6'9" and measured at 6'8" for the NBA draft and Sisley was measured at closer to 6'5" at an event this past summer. Vince was listed as 6'8" as an upperclassman but I believe was measured at 6'7" without shoes for the draft.
You're right, it's not a huge difference but 3" can be the difference between a nice player and something more.
As oldboiler said, ND just signed a kid outta cathedral who plays the same spot so doubtful he goes there. It is interesting a lot of these schools are known for their academics as well…good on him for looking into that aspect, as well.
Tre and West would make nice class on the heels of last year’s mega-class. A stretch four / jumbo wing was the only thing missing from the last class and we need another combo guard with Braden and Fletch graduating after next season.
lol, me trying to read into his words, I come away with UofL and Purdue at the top with maybe a slight lean towards U of L. His words seemed to relay more excitement in talking about them. I really hope paint and players put in a big push over the next couple of weeks and we land him.
isn’t he from southern Indiana near Louisville?
Might be hard to pull him away but man he would be an awesome addition to our roster.
He is essentially from Louisville. Agree, that will be a tough out.
He’s from jeffersonville across the river from Louisville. That’s only about 10 miles away from Sellersberg which is the home of TKR so proximity is close but it doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s going to choose U of L.
Dub just issued a future cast for West to become a Boilermaker! 🖤💛
