Agreed .. they have little to no chance at Ramey. But where does that leave them? I see a lot of 'but Painter is a good coach' posts and he is, but he has also had a tenth and twelfth place B1G finish in the last ten years.

I mean, if we saw a guard quartet of Morton, Loyer, Newman, and Braden Smith at any other school we'd be laughing hard. And that's it! There's no real likelihood of an addition.

As it was last year, Purdue underachieved and was bad defensively, largely because of a lack of team quickness and defensive recognition. This year they are going to be minus their four guards who played the most minutes from last year, and their big that played at crunch time because Edey doesn't move his feet well. And they've added nothing.

Seems like a bit of an indictment on Painter's ability to find a portal replacement.

Not only does Purdue have limited guard depth/overall talent, but Painter has also almost exclusively utilized a 3 guard lineup for all of his tenure at Purdue, which will just magnify their issues.

In re: PU guards discussion, I think Ethan Morton’s pretty good. But can we agree that you could summarize lots about the Archie era by recalling that he recruited Ethan Morton as though he was gonna solve lots of backcourt problems for IU?

Archie Miller also went after a number of highly rated guards, including Darius Garland and DJ Carlton. Archie never could land a top quality point guard. Rob Phinisee was the best he could do and he was always trying to get someone better than Rob.

I was wondering where he would end up.  IU could be playing against him if he chooses UA.

Your post made me recall the below.

Hoping he doesn't end up at AZ or any of the B10 schools.

Rothstein just tweeted that Keion Brooks will transfer to Washington.

Safe to say his career has not gone as he (or his dad) had envisioned. 

Hope it works out for him.

I doubt it would have gone much better for him here, but I can't help but wonder if the constant threat of 5 star one-and-done kids at UK just was too much for him to get comfortable and find a groove.

So the question is... Who is now better off? Indiana going with Armaan Franklin or Purdue going with Newman?

IMO, Painter has mishandled Newman to the point of killing his chances of success.

I don't pay any attention to PU. What has Painter done?

[Stuhoo 84,502]

And there you have it; the last P5 level guard in the portal will be attending “Not Purdue.”

 

[TheWatShot 14,752]

Not Purdue has kind of had its way with Purdue this offseason.

Purdue:  “want to be the starting point guard on a team that was #1 last year?”

player:  “nah, I want to see what I could for a Big 12 team that was in the cellar.”

Redshirted right away on a team that could have used his shooting.  And then the past two seasons he started out decently and at the first sign of him not hitting shots gave up on him.

One thing he can do that Purdue seriously lacks is play defense.

Mo State’s Isiaih Mosley, probably the best player left in the portal, commits to Mizzou. Not a major surprise, he went to HS about 20 mins from the campus, but Cuonzo Martin didn’t offer him. Dennis Gates’ complete remake of that roster is really something,

Anyone else but me always think this thread is about the NBA when they first see the title?

In any event, 300+ college players have already announced their intent to enter the portal and it doesn't officially open until March 13th.

Happy now? Can’t keep anyone happy around here.
