This will be the type of talent moving forward, if they don't play the NIL game.

Go over to gold and black.  The most optimistic thing I think I saw was that he would be starting.  When a fanbase can’t even spin a pickup the coach is struggling. 
 

We let go of a local legend for not being on board with NIL for a reason. Painter needs to get with it. 

As far as Purdue fans are concerned, Braden Smith is going to end up giving the Big Ten fits.

Is it clear that Painter's not on board with it? Purdue just might not be able to compete/raise the NIL $ that other Power 5 schools are able to.

I think their problem is that they have a good but shallow fan base. Our success over the years, and recognition as basketball royalty, gives the depth to compete in that arena.

They should be able to raise enough for one Marquee player you would think. I guess unless they had to use their funds to keep their front court but if so Painter is dumb.  Gotta have your guards before anybody.  If we didn’t have a group of guards in place for next year I am sure Woodson would be all over that

As an undersized non-pg, Utah to B1G, Jenkins Jr. bears some superficial resemblance to Alonso Plummer. But Plummer got to play next to, arguably, the second-best guard in the conference, in Trent Frazier, and Jenkins…doesn’t get that luxury. (Not to mention Demo’s less-than-ringing endorsement.)

Bob McKillop with a surprise retirement press conference. Brutal timing for Davidson unless they hire an assistant, which I'm assuming they will, and even then not great.

One of the best. Imagine his son Matt will get the gig.

I was checking out the recruiting competition for Newell and noticed something odd  Illinois has 9 PF on their roster? That can't be right.

My niece is thinking about going there.  I don’t think her parents have told her they won’t be paying for college just yet

Very expensive school.... As in over $25K per quarter (NW is quarterly not semesters)

My daughter got a full ride at Vanderbilt, so much better off. Not that this is any kind of newsflash, but if there's a scholarship or even just a good but significantly less expensive school out there, your niece would do well to focus on the ultimate cost of college now

Agreed.  I think reality will hit her soon. My wife was talking to her about IU then talking to her about IUPUI.  I assume I missed the part where she offered to let her live with us for a year or two before transferring down to Bloomington. 
 

My niece who just graduated is going to Loyola and doesn’t even know what she wants to study. It’s mind boggling to me. I think she is not thinking it through.  Her older sister got a full ride to Michigan then Stanford for PhD. And her brother is going to school my brother in law works at.  So none of her sibling could really advise her on student Loans. And you know 18 year olds. No reason to listen to the old people in the room.

What's wrong with Loyola? It is a good school. The campus is on Lake Michigan. They are in Chicago which offers all kinds of great amenities--1st class museums, great music, parks, restaurants. I've known people who have gone to Loyola and loved it. The only downside imo is  Chicago winters--they can be brutal.
