Any updates on how the visit went? Was he on campus yet for the basketball exhibition game? Hopefully he got to watch the entire Iowa game. Decent weather along with a great game I can only assume that would make a visit that much more enjoyable.

I would probably be at the volleyball game too if I were them lol.
I assume he left Purdue today...that sure didn't take long. Must be afraid he would love Purdue...UNC is meeting with him and his family tonight. I’m sure an offer is in the works there.
I mean, it will be tough for UNC since it’s so late, but we thought that about MSU and Malik too.I assume he left Purdue today...that sure didn't take long. Must be afraid he would love Purdue...
did MSU have an inhome visit right after Malik was at Purdue?I mean, it will be tough for UNC since it’s so late, but we thought that about MSU and Malik too.
Well MSU’s official was after Purdue’s for Malikdid MSU have an inhome visit right after Malik was at Purdue?
I know, but I was surprised how quickly the inhome was if he was at Purdue today. THAT was my essence of my postWell MSU’s official was after Purdue’s for Malik
I agree. Just what Bossi reported.I know, but I was surprised how quickly the inhome was if he was at Purdue today. THAT was my essence of my post

It sucks lolUnbelievable, you can't make this stuff up.
“It was the fifth and final trip. It was a great visit. Coach [Matt] Painter is an incredible cat. He’s just so relatable. He’s a straight up guy. He doesn’t mince words. He tells you exactly what he’s going to do.”Here's an article from Evan Daniels that has a bunch of quotes from his father about the Purdue visit and the UNC in-home visit.

I love this about CMP. Sort of a contrarian play in this day and age. Zig while everyone else zags. Everyone else is telling the kid what they think he wants to hear, CMP tells the truth.
How’s that working out for us?
As much as it says about Matt...it says about recruits that buy in. Not very interesting to those more self centered of which there are many. Zeke goes to Purdue...and they will be very good, but we all know that! The evolution continues...“It was the fifth and final trip. It was a great visit. Coach [Matt] Painter is an incredible cat.

Just curious. Are you suggesting that he be different than described? Or do the ends justify the means?How’s that working out for us?

His dad seems like a smart guy. Hoping he can see through all this fluff from UNC and these other schools. And if he really values the importance of education, we are the unquestioned favorite.
Come on, let's be honest. Most top 50 guys are looking at their education being in the NBA. They might be around 1, 2 years and then they're gone. We really don't care if they graduate, we care if they win.
If we go in there with the same pitch as UNC or Kansas, we are going to lose 99 times out of 100. When you are selling against the established brand names, you have to differentiate yourself from them.Come on, let's be honest. Most top 50 guys are looking at their education being in the NBA.

Again, what does this mean? What should he say that you don't think he is already saying? What lever could he pull that would have the kid reject Kansas, Arizona, and UNC for Purdue? And please don't tell us he needs to be dishonest in his approach, because he won't do it.He (or someone else on the staff) has got to get enough sizzle into the pitch to overcome the objections (raised by Roy and UNC) about tourney success.
Based on quotes from his dad I think Painter’s straight forward no BS approach is his differentiator.If we go in there with the same pitch as UNC or Kansas, we are going to lose 99 times out of 100. When you are selling against the established brand names, you have to differentiate yourself from them.
The way we differentiate ourselves from Kansas and UNC is by hammering home the immediate playing time and being "The Man" right away.If we go in there with the same pitch as UNC or Kansas, we are going to lose 99 times out of 100.

Here is the rub with all of this as well. A long time ago when Painter was held back by budgeting, many of the same posters complaining now were complaining then that Painter didn't go after enough high profile players.Again, what does this mean? What should he say that you don't think he is already saying? What lever could he pull that would have the kid reject Kansas, Arizona, and UNC for Purdue? And please don't tell us he needs to be dishonest in his approach, because he won't do it.
Many of us believe that if Painter had half the talent that these three schools get, he would have already earned Final Four births and a National Championship. But it's like a new graduate trying to find work. Companies like your education, but pass you up for someone with experience. How do you get the experience if someone doesn't hire you? Recruiting the top talent is the same thing. We all know that if Painter gets a solid class, he's going to challenge for a FF, and then who knows? But he needs that one or two key player(s) to believe in him to get there.
Yes - the No BS approach is definitely the differentiator. Not to mention the right way to do things.Based on quotes from his dad I think Painter’s straight forward no BS approach is his differentiator.
Anyone can look at the roster at UNC packed full of 5* kids who ride the bench because they were sold a false bill of goods promising them playing time.
Maybe this works in our favor - maybe it doesn’t.
I think whether it works or not depends on the player being recruited, but there is no way I think Painter can know that going in.Based on quotes from his dad I think Painter’s straight forward no BS approach is his differentiator.

And if CMP doesn’t see KBJ as a 2?The way we differentiate ourselves from Kansas and UNC is by hammering home the immediate playing time and being "The Man" right away.
We should be telling him exactly what he wants to hear regarding position and playing style at the same time.
For example, Keion Brooks has been adamant that he sees himself as a big "2 guard". A lot of people question if that's actually possible or not, but the schools still in his recruitment are telling him they would definitely play him as a 2.
Not sure it matters since we aren’t getting an official visit at this point.And if CMP doesn’t see KBJ as a 2?
He still tells him he could be a 2 at Purdue. If he comes to Purdue and Painter is able to turn him into an AA 3, and Purdue goes far in the tournament, then KBJ won't care whether he was played at the 2 or not.And if CMP doesn’t see KBJ as a 2?
Until they don't . . . but it's too late for him.The way we differentiate ourselves from Kansas and UNC is by hammering home the immediate playing time and being "The Man" right away.
