I'd take both in a heartbeat. 

4 NIT games prior to the championship..Conwell avg 23p 5r 4a 58%FGs 52% from 3 on 8 attempts a game...

Man, I’d just be happy getting even one of Rice, Carlyle, Conwell.

He is my number #1 by far. Give him what he wants and start him…

Pretty efficient. Not many long twos in that shot chart...

Trevor Andershock reports we've reached out to 6'10" Elijah Malone of Grace College (1 yr. left).  Averaged 17.3p;  8.3r; 1.9a; 2.5b and was named NAIA Player of the Year after being an NAIA 2nd team All-American the previous year.

https://gclancers.com/news/2024/4/1/mens-basketball-moore-malone-earn-naia-national-coach-player-of-the-year.aspx

Malone just won the Bevo Francis award, going to the best small college player in the country. This covers NCAA Divisions II and III as well as NAIA and junior colleges.

Conwell would be a huge add. Everyone will be after him though.

It will definitely be to our benefit that UK is in the flux that's it's currently in, I could have seen Calipari going all out for Conwell.

We have the money to keep Conwell home.

With Conwell being a combo, and Rice a PG (right?) then hopefully we add both.

I'm sure we do, and I hope it happens. 

However, everyone has money. I don't think we are alone in having deep pockets.

So, do the wanted Indiana State Sycamores go to St Louis, Purdue….or Indiana?? They seem to me not to be stupid and may not want to play for a stupid program whoever that stupid program may be.

I heard similar stuff last year after the portal. I'll withhold judgement until I see how they play together and under Woody

That’s where I am. Though an influx of talent at PG and the wings would have be optimistic.

Purdue scholarships currently:

incoming freshman (6):  Catchings, Harris, Burgess, Jacobsen, Cox, Benter

sophomores to be (3):  Heide, Berg, Colvin

juniors to be (4):  Kaufman-Renn, Waddell, Loyer, Smith

seniors to be (1):  Furst

First, Purdue is going to have at least two players enter the portal before they can even bring one in.   I am guessing Furst enters but that doesn't help them long term much because he's their only senior anyway.
