Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation

What's he accomplished that makes him such a great coach? Guy's a first rate choker, IMO.
There are quite a few Purdue fans who'd agree with me.
My Purdue friends (only have 2) often compare him to Tony Dungy before the one super bowl win. Good regular season coach, can build/recruit a good team, but in the post season or against elite competition he falls apart. Don’t know if they could do better but they could do a lot worse
If the 1992 dream team found a way to conceive a baby together it would be named Tyrese Hunter.
In his 17 years at Purdue, he's made 13 tournaments, advancing to the round of 32 in 10 of them, Sweet Sixteen in 5, and Elite Eight in 1. I know many of those were underperformances compared to regular season success, but there aren't too many programs in the country who would turn that record down.
Under Gene Keady, they went to 2 Elite Eights and 6 Sweet Sixteens in 25 years, so it's not like Painter is dramatically underperforming program history.
I agree, and there's the rub: Do you get rid of decent/good and try to move up to elite or do you stick with what you have and not take the chance of maybe becoming worse?
I thought their game vs. St. Peter's was a disaster of a coaching job. Yes, St. Pete's was a Cinderella but Purdue had huge mismatches throughout their lineup that they didn't exploit.
Ivey had a bad game, but they stopped going to him early. He should've gotten way more looks IMO.
Great data.
Here's four more years of data.
Tyrese Haliburton was 82%/44% for HS career
Matt Thomas was 85%/50% for HS career
Tyrese Hunter was 64%/37% for HS career
I can't find HS stats for Naz
In my opinion you never get rid of him. If you’re the AD you do what we are trying to do with Izzo and get him to bring in some fresh assistants from outside the program to help innovate.
He is like the exact opposite of Ja Morant. Like if you could think of a guard he is nothing like, it would be Ja. He would compare more to Russ
He is a combo of Hakeem Olajuwon and Bill Wennington
Imo, if I'm putting players in a category based on how they play based on strengths and weaknesses, Russ is in the same group as Ja.
Olajuwons athleticism and bills goatee? I went to school with one of wenningtons kids and Bill legit had to stoop through a door.
So did Tyrese really have an NIL deal with UNC for $750k? Interesting to see how much he really gets.
At least he could shoot free throws. Doesn't sound like he was very good otherwise.
I heard Jordan was the second best post entry passer in the history of the game.
