Wow, Purdue taking a swing at a not that highly regarded 7+ footer.  What are the odds that works out for them?

Eeddy was the same thing and look at him.  Painter is really good at finding diamonds in the rough when it comes to 7 footers.

This.  In addition to Eeddy, look at Trevion Williams who is a bit smaller, 6'8" or so, and was a 3* ranked in the 150's out of HS - look at him today.  As much at it pains me to say, CMP is tremendous when it comes to finding under recruited bigs that fit his system.

Yeah.....I was being sarcastic.  Matt Haarms was rated in the 300s and Zach Edey was in the 400s.

PUke lands yet another big man.  

Purdue has landed a commitment from 7-foot-2 Swedish big man William Berg. Berg recently cut his list to two and after taking visits to Purdue and Utah State he ultimately decided to play for Matt Painter and the Boilermakers. 

 

What class is this kid, '22?

Sorry, I didn’t catch that!  After re-reading it, I can see that now!  
 

Painter, like Keady, can find big men that aren’t highly recruited and develop them.  Edey actually has coordination, probably from playing baseball and hockey. Someone told me he actually didn’t play basketball until he was 17.  Who knows how this kid turns out, but I am betting he will be decent by the time he graduates, if not before then.

Haven’t watched a second of Brumbaugh, and if he’s looking for a better offer that’s fine, but a full ride to Northwestern doesn’t strike me as the worst contractual situation in the world.

He had offers from Kansas and Texas when he chose northwestern.   It was between Texas and northwestern the first time around.
