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?

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

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.

Let's get the checkbook out and get ready to start shopping,  it's like black friday.

Not a fit for IU, but worth noting that on the name alone that Messiah Jones of Wofford has entered the portal.  Four year undersized power forward (6'6") at Wofford.  In four years there, averaged 9 points and 5 1/2 rebounds in 20 minutes.

Chris Ledlum is an interesting name out of Harvard. 6'6" wing with scoring ability. Not a great shooter but would bring another dimension to the offense.

You lost me at "not a great shooter"

Big.

Time.

Two years left, and the guy plays angry. Would love to see IU interest.

Just don't understand why a guy shooting 29% from three has taken 136 of them.

Anyway, I always like to see what guys from lower D1 have done against power 5 competition.  Not a whole lot to go on as he's been limited in that respect, but here goes

This year his only P5 game was against Kansas.  35 minutes, 6/18 from the field, 2/9 from three, 3/4 fts, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 turnovers, 17 points in 35 minutes.  It was a 68-54 loss, so he was playing against Kansas starters pretty much the whole way.  Despite the 6/18 shooting, scoring 17 points and getting 9 boards is decent.  

But that's really the extent of his games against power 5 teams.  He missed a lot of last year, did not play in 2020-21 (I don't recall....did the Ivy League cancel their season that year?), and his freshman year of 2019-20 he wasn't a full time player and that was probably too long ago to be relevant.  

Out of high school, 247 ranked him as the 96th best incoming recruit.

What dimension to the offense does a poor shooting wing bring?

I don't see a lot of other guys on the roster next year that can put the ball on the floor and go get a bucket for themselves. 

I'd like a sniper as much as the next person, but we have multiple holes to fill with the amount of scoring that is leaving.
