PU has quite the pipeline to foreign 7-footers. 

Berg (Sweden), Edey (Canada), Haarms (Netherlands), Haas (Russia). 

OK, I know Haas' bio says he's from Alabama, but I don't believe it for a second. Look at the dude and convince me he's not Russian. Or of some other Eastern European origin.

I thought that Haas was from The Isle of Syphilis.

He may have some East European DNA for sure, but I would bet it isn't all Eastern European. Lots of overlap in Europe through history

You might say he’s at the “Top” of his class.

Huge pickup for them.  Tons of potential.

So the addition of Malik gives IU the 5th rated (composite rankings) 2022 class. The Big Ten now has 4 of the top 10 2022 classes. There have been posts about the lack of high level Big Ten recruits, in past years, so I took a look at how many BT teams were in the top 10 recruiting class rankings since 2016:

BT.                           SEC.               ACC
2022 - 4                    2                       1

2021 - 1                    3                        2

2020 - 0                   5                         2

2019 - 0                    2                        2

2018 - 2                    2                        1

2017 - 0                   3                         3

2016 - 1                   2                         4

Pretty poor.

Duke is number 1 this year landing 3 of the top 5 guys and 4 of the top 13 in the country. Just crazy and it will be interesting to see how JS does with those guys.  Also kind of crazy to see #1 Duke followed in the 2022 class rankings by Arkansas and Alabama.

In terms of 5 star players, there will only be 6, maybe 5 in the Big Ten. For IU, Malik and JHS (Trayce was a very high 4 star per 247 and ESPN). Michigan will have Houstan and Diabate. Illinois with Clark. Maybe Michigan State with Max Christie.

Yep,

Thats a big reason  the BT didn’t have a single school with a top 10 class in 3 of the previous 5 years.

Think I saw on ESPN they have 1/5 of the top 100 guys for this next class. That's a start.

Fox College Hoops  --  Indiana's recruiting classes have ranked higher than Purdue's every year since 2011, but the Boilermakers hold the 15-6 advantage on the court during that span.

And PU did that w/ no 2020 recruits.

And even though we have the No. 5 recruiting class this year, PU will be awfully tough to top — they have two recruiting classes. LOL! 
 

(I actually pointed out in another thread that just like trying to get to the Final Four, when they’re trying to make fun of us, they screw that up, too!!!)

Coaching is the difference.

We’ve sucked over the past decade but still have the same number of conference titles during that period as them and only one less sweet 16 trip.

Yeah our dark times and their glory days are oddly similar.
