Predictable. They will end up with a formidable class. I think this one was in the works.

louisville has set up an official for him as well. They have already offered his younger brother who is a 2022 recruit.

This doesn’t surprise me with the recruiting struggles Mack is having in the 2020 class to this point.

Yeah they have missed out on a ton of top targets in the 2020 class. Loveday, Burnett, Steward, Brakefield and Deivon Smith off the top of my head but there are some others as well. Recruiting can be fascinating. His first year he didn’t bring in any freshman class. In 2019 he knocked it out of the park with a killer class on paper and so far in 2020 has swung and miss. My guess he will end up bringing in a solid class but right now he has some fans in panic mode( shocking I know fans panicking before the early signing period has even started)

Isaiah Todd, a five star forward, announces today between Kansas and Michigan. Most think he’s going Michigan but we’ll see.

Would certainly be a statement for Juwan Howard and staff. Can’t imagine Todd will want to pick Kansas with all the swirling drama. That they made the final 2 is interesting by itself.

Maybe this was already discussed.  Dre Davis played AAU with Indy Heat, same team as Ivey, Pack and Furst.  Ivey of course has committed to Purdue and in my view projects to be a very good player for them (he was over 43% from 3 at EYBL, averaged over 14 ppg).  There has been some rumbling that he would decommit, but that could just be speculative chatter.  

 

I went to watch some of the games at EYBL.  Watching the game, Davis was the guy that got your attention.  Just the most active and aggressive out there, making things happen.  And then you'd look up who this kid is, and you'd see that he's got a (then) low rank and committed to Nebraska of all things.  It really didn't fit.  I think with that early commitment to a basic nobody team, nobody paid too much attention to him.  But he absolutely showed out.  Averaged 17.9 points, and 6.1 rebounds.  Only 41% shooting, but still a guy making plays.  Plays more like a small forward than a SG.  

 

Maybe Ivey got in his ear to go to Purdue?  The Louisville offers to Dre and his little brother is an interesting wrinkle.  Purdue fans seem to want to bank the scholarship, or find another big to keep the pipeline going there.  

 

With his now open recruitment, I'd bet there are some programs that would have liked to watch him play.  I would not say that I got the impression that he's a star in the making.  But he is a productive player, and effort alone can go a long way.  

 

As an aside...  I'm pretty pro-player in all things.  That said I really hope de-commitments don't become a common thing in CBB.

Purdue landed Zach Edey today. A 7’3 220 lb. center.


Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

There’s a pretty good workout video of Edey on You Tube. He’s a long way away. Nowhere close to Haarms in terms of movement or bend and not nearly the frame and bulk of Haas. When he puts the ball on the floor with his left hand he looks like a kid in freshman gym. But Painter seems to get these right.
