Transfer Portal w IU Interest

[TTT 890]

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.

Think about if we land 2, along with MM, MR, and Payne….thats a top 10 team. Add the kid from Evansville and let’s do this….   :)

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.

Does IU have interest?

Dang hard to believe Furst will be a senior and hasn’t really been a huge contributor. Painter would be wise to recruit over Smith.

Smith?  Nah.  He needs to recruit over Loyer.

Robbie is off to SLU, already has the no-contact on his profile

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.

Hopefully the combo of location, playing time AND $$ seals it. 

I recommend discouraging him from watching video of IU from this past season, however! That might scare him off.

I'd take First as a backup. Starting him would entirely depend on Reneau stepping out and shooting more.

Furst is a 9th/10th guy on a good team, at best. 

Can't shoot, not all that big, not that athletic.

He played 18 minutes per game his sophomore year and was sixth in minutes his sophomore year at Purdue on a team that won the Big Ten.  Can't really label guys as 'ninth or tenth guys' -- depends on how they fit with the team's roster.  I agree there are better fits than IU if IU is looking for one stretch big and one defensive big, but Furst will land on his feet somewhere.  Been rumored that he will be looking at going to Notre Dame.  Of course, he'd have to first announce he's in the portal.
