I call "dumbass."

Stu, Stu, Stu,  you've got to learn to stop bottling up your emotions.  Express yourself; let it all hang out (figuratively, not literally), you need the emotional relief or we're just going to have to schedule you for an intervention with Dr. Phil.    :-)

Meanwhile, Purdoodoo is running out of 2017 options. They are about to go O-fer the top 200.

AND... With only one incoming freshman this year (though potentially a good one) their cupboard is going to get pretty low on supplies, unless they want to become "grad transfer U".

Penn State Basketball: Freshman Joe Hampton To Leave Program

Penn State basketball announced on Friday that freshman forward Joe Hampton will leave the program for personal reasons. The 6-foot-7 forward is recovering from an ACL injury and seemed unlikely to play significant time during the 2016-17 season.

“Joe has made the decision to leave the program based on personal reasons," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said in a statement. "We wish him the best of luck

The former three star prospect out of Oak Hill Academy in Maryland committed to Penn State early in his recruiting cycle before decomitting in 2015. Hampton eventually committed to the program again in May of 2015 a few months later.

He joined the trio of Philadelphia based freshman in Penn State's 2016 recruiting haul, Tony Carr, Nazeer Bostick and Lamar Stevens. The group is widely regard as the best in program history and ultimately remain that way even with Hampton's departure. Hampton's motivation for leaving is unknown, although the freshman was reportedly struggling in the early stages of summer workouts and was still finding his form physically.

A few weeks out from practice Penn State will rely on junior Payton Banks, Julian Moore, Mike Watkins, Deividas Zemgulis and Stevens at the forward position. Moving forward Chambers and his staff will have a scholarship available for the 2017 recruiting class, a previously unavailable asset.

ith his future endeavors.”

Yeah they are panicking over there in Purdue-land after missing out on another of their top prospects.

Painter banked a decent number of scholarships for 2017 in the hopes he'd be able to fill them with quality players, but they are striking out left and right.  Highest ranked guy left on their board is Eastern I think, a guard from Chicago who also is a lean to Michigan State.

Painter has to be so frustrated being Purdue's coach, he just can't catch a break sometimes no matter how hard he tries.

Their recruiting strategy of targeting 90% of the same recruits as MSU and hoping Izzo leaves them leftovers was just silly, they can squarely blame Painter for this. Its like nobody told him the Swanigan recruitment was dirty or something. 

"Bold strategy there Cotton, let's see if it pays off."
