Something I saw earlier today about a recruit, said they have until 11:59:59. 5 is what I've heard elsewhere

Hmmm. I thought deadline was 5 p.m. Eastern. I could be wrong, though. 

[TheWatShot]

Dakich says Swanigan is coming back. Have to think he's right. Nobody waits right up until the deadline and decides to stay in the draft.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I would be absolutely shocked if Swanigan returns and would have a new found respect for the kid. If he goes, and I expect him to, he's making the right decision imo.

Wow, if true. That would be a kid that wants to win the big one. Crazy respect if this turns out to be true.

It'll be great for Purdue, but he'll be making a bad decision coming back. His draft stock can't really improve and he's only getting older

Not necessarily. Weak draft next year. Not saying he is going to jump into the top 5 but sounded like he was a guy that was going to go in the 20's.

There will be guys with better athleticism that we haven't heard of jumping him. It happens nearly every year

Weak draft next year talk is like "these kids these days" talk.

A new year and season will bring about stars and players will emerge.

Weak drafts do happen but usually it's unforeseen and judged retrospectively.

Unless Swanigan hits a growth spurt he probably won't help his stock much by coming back.

Yup. Opportunities for guys able to make bigger jumps than Swanigan out there. I don't ever see him going higher than about mid 20s and I personally wouldn't draft him first round. That's nothing against him. He's like Frank Kaminsky, a great college player that doesn't translate well to the pros.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Swanigan is a 1st rounder. He's making a bad decision if he doesn't grab the money.

Miles Bridges? Absolutely shocking. I have mad respect for these type decisions. Bridges might be the most shocking one I can remember. He was guaranteed lottery.

He had a player of the year type season this year. Going to be hard to improve upon that.

Swanigan staying in the draft. Good decision on his part

Next years draft has nowhere the talent of this draft. Not even close from a projectable view point. While there will be players that surprise, they aren't the norm. I don't think either way he went would have been a bad decision based on where people are projecting. He decided to stay in the draft. Good for him and his handler.

Yeah, that was the decision I expected.

Good for him. I think he goes 15-25.

Indy Spiece team had

Jaquan Lyle
James Blackmon
Trevon Bluiett
Trey Lyles
Biggie Swanigan
and maybe PJ Thompson.

Wow that team was loaded.

I don't particularly care about the grammar, but I don't even understand the shot at IU. What does "fabricated BS" even mean? lol

[Old Friend]

Maybe piped in music, bigger and bigger TV screens, fake tans, and the circus stuff that seemed to overtake IU the last decade-plus.  Who cares?   Purdue will always be Purdue.  They're the little brother; they always will be, and he's never going to change it.  When Purdue changes coaches, they get 15 minutes and everybody moves on.  When you're expected to be middle of the pack, nobody cares.  Yawn.

[TheWatShot]

We won as many Big Ten titles as you did, son. And you made Purdue look sexy all right...until you played Kansas.

 

And he's one to talk about "fabricated BS," considering Purdue was his third choice and his guardian more or less forced him to go there.
