It doesn’t help us with Miller it helps them with Miller. Kid won’t compete for his minutes but is talented and a guard to boot

I feel the same. Sorry, I was just having a morning muse at the back to back comments [emoji23]

WOW!

Class of 2021, shooting guard Brandin Podziemski.

Three-star forward Markus Ilver signs with the #Badgers, gives Greg Gard a four-man recruiting class in 2021.

A native of Estonia, the 6-foot-8, 200-pound combo forward from Woodstock, Virginia, most recently played a partial season of high school basketball (due to COVID-19 restrictions) at Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, Ohio during the 2020-21 season. Ilver played at Massanutten Military Academy in Virginia in 2019-20.  A three-star recruit according to 247 Sports, Ilver was ranked as the No. 6 player from the state of Ohio and the 40th-best power forward in the country in the Class of 2021.

Jake Weingarten -

Illinois adds Utah transfer Alfonso Plummer, he announced. All-Pac 12 prospect who averaged over 15.5 points per game and was a vital part of the Utes roster all year long. A program that lost several players now adds talent right back.

Native of Puerto Rico, so there might be a connection with Curbelo. The 2 of them would make an offensively dynamic, but really small, backcourt.

I have a video that likely sums up the Purdue coaching staff considering whether to offer Brian Wadell.  All you have to do is replace the line "This is Kent Dorfman; he's a legacy from Harrisburg" with "This is Brian Wadell. He's a legacy from Carmel."

He's good.  Underrated player.  His dunk on CJ Gunn was jawdropping.   Not sure if it will work out, but he'll play better than his scouted ranking, whatever that may be.

He will definitely play better than his scouted ranking, which is not in the top 400 of any service. I found him in one place as not in the top 25 for Indiana high school seniors, but included with an alphabetical list of the 25-50th best Indiana high school players.

Not saying he couldn't be okay, but he seems like a preferred walk-on resume if their ever was one. Not sure if he had ANY other D1 offers. The Indystar article says that "Wright State, Miami (Ohio), Furman and Loyola Chicago were among the schools showing interest."

It's a very Crean-like Gelon/Priller offer to me, although Painter certainly currently has enough talent to compensate. However, as we know a few injuries or transfers and his number could get called someday.

I agree with all that.  When I watched him in that State Final, I couldn't believe he wasn't getting more attention.  I guess Purdue felt the same, but I'm sure he's a depth guy that won't be unhappy about playing time.   Interesting case to follow.

Haven’t we been saying that about PU recruiting for awhile yet these no names end up solid.

Not really.

Purdue's recruiting has been very good, but other than Edey all of their key guys have been 'on the radar', even if they were under-ranked. Trevion Williams was in the 150's, Ivey was a top 100 four star, Gillis was at 220, Newman was at 126. Even Stefanovich and Thompson, who aren't all that good, were in the 200-300 range. 

This young man is 25-50 in the State of Indiana. He may have had offers from MAC schools-that's it.

Like I said, Purdue can afford to waste a scholly here and there, but this looks like a Donnie Hale redoux.

 

[Hoosierfan2017]

IU and Purdue both got top 25 recruits this week. IU got a top 25 in the country guy and Purdue got a top 25 in Indiana guy. Works for me!

Recently yeah. Back when Haarms committed Purdue had him and another kid ranked pretty low but can’t think of who. 
 Haarms was nationally ranked 352

Setting aside how this turns out, Painter has really operated well in Purdue’s sweet spot, and supplemented it well with Biggie/Furst types either from the northern half of the state or with PU connections or both. Kaufman doesn’t really fit that mold but it seems saw the situation IU was in.
