I click on it every day to see if he has picked a new team yet. I'm just surprised it hasn't been announced yet.
Purdue is never going to be elite. Never. Painter is doing better than Keady. Painter is doing better than a vast majority of power conference programs. This is Purdue's likely ceiling, and one that pretty much every non-blue blood should be happy with.
Purdue does not get great talent. They never have, and they never will. They get some OK talent that can be turned into very good college players. Really outside of Glenn Robinson, they have not gotten any type of real sure-fire superstar talent in the past few decades.
Look what Purdue has done the past several years. All this with two guys on NBA rosters that racked up a bunch of DNPs. That's the level of NBA talent that a P6 program should fall ass-backwards into.
Yeah the last real recruiting STUD might have been Swanigan?
(But he grew up nearby)
I feel like a lot of people think that Jaden Ivey was like a too 10 5 star, but he wasn’t (good recruit, top100 4 star).
Painter is an interesting one. I think his strengths are talent evaluation and building a cohesive team. He's one of those coaches that seems to have a clear formula ever year, with a tower big, an athletic four, a few guys who can shoot and really athletic guards. He's done a great job recruiting to that formula.
The guy just seems to have inexplicable losses every year though that are hard to understand.
And Kansas could use some backcourt depth whereas Texas is loaded in the back court. I've moved on from caring much about what Tyrese does, other than hoping someone in his camp is actually considering things like fit and playing time and not just looking for the biggest paycheck possible.
A long time ago (1979‐80), but Joe Barry Carrol led Purdue to the Final 4, where they beat Iowa in the consolidation game. Maybe the last one? He scored over 12,000 points during a 10-year NBA career. Earlier yet, Rick mount also led the Boilermakers to the final 4.
They aren't a blue blood, but there is some tradition.

Gene Keady, a K-State EMAW by the way, was 21-20 versus Bob Knight. Keady won 7 B10 championships. Their rivalry is considered top five. Keady was a great coach at a wonderful basketball school. Mackey Arena is one of the best venues I've ever set foot in.

One of the most intriguing parts of college basketball is to see some of the classic coaching matchups that take place both during the regular season and during March Madness...
I didn't realize Carrol scored that much as a pro. I remember him playing for that Purdue F4 team ... unfairly, he was kind of a footnote, GS traded up to draft him, Celtics got Robert Parrish and a draft pick (used to select Kevin McHale).

That's great but his full season's work was generally not elite and he never got past the Elite 8.
Point being Painter has been about on par and has finished top 6ish in the B1G a whole bunch. Keady had some rough years between the good ones.
Are these Hunter/Painter style shitshows because CF ISU fan is angry, or because they are unknowledgeable. Oh 5/6 Sweet 16’s, an elite 8, three big 10 titles…**** THAT SUCKY COACH, DON’T WANT. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PLAY FOR THAT LOSER?
It’s kind of like every run of the mill transfer that comes up that people lose their **** over. I’m dreading the “We Missed out on Ryan Basile” threads that are sure to pop up next season.
I think people are angry because it took a fast athletic Miami team that hit on all cylinders to finally get their 'gotcha' moment for ISU's terrible NCAA tourney team.
Or maybe they're angry because ISU has been to almost as many bowls (18) as NCAA tourneys (21).
Painter is good, he had a really weird run after his affair and divorce in the mid 2010's where they underachieved. He was nearly fired during that stretch but bounced back, the last 5 years they've been great.
