I thought Painter hit a low point with the fallout of the 2013 class, then hit a homerun with the 2014 and 2015 classes... I was expecting a really solid class for this season to re-load, but I feel the cupboard is a little bare after our projected starting 5.
Why wasn't Painter able to sell more recruits on tons of potential playing time and the B1G championship after graduating 4 starters? Not to be pessimistic, but seems Purdue won't break through until Painter can string together 2 or 3 strong classes. 2018 and 2019 (so far) don't seem to be going in that direction, just seems to be more of the same.
Tear me a part for my view, but looking for a discussion on if Painter will ever have the ability to break through on the recruiting trail and in the tournament.
