Painter loved Coach Knight, was good friends with Pat Knight and wanted to go to Indiana in the worst way. Our loss, Purdue's gain! Outstanding high school player!

Madison22 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 (edited) The current #14 ranked Wisconsin roster does not have a single player ranked in the top-125 coming out of high school.

IU Scott Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 3 hours ago, jefftheref said: Let's face it, Purdue is the best program in the state and has by far the best coach in the state. I wish he was coaching Indiana. Quite frankly Indiana football and basketball suck. I am not and never have been a Woodson or a Tom Allen fan. I can't wait till they are both gone so Indiana can start rebuild with a new coach. Shake my head at their program! You can blame RMK for Painter being the coach at Purdue. If he had signed Painter instead of Leary in 1989 he wouldn't have been the coach st Purdue. It is known that Painter and his family were huge IU fans but RMK went with Leary instead. I think it is time for a change in football but to be fair to Allen he had one of the best two years stretch in IU football history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbp4IU Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 I just saw that Skyy Clark left the Illinois program… Curious to see if IU would consider reaching out. They could use guards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from the same class as Painter and Delta played at my school his senior year. Keady was at that game and we knew he was going to be there. One of my friends was a Purdue fan and I went over with him so hecould get Keady's autograph. So I went over with him with my IU sweatshirt and sweats on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible underwood lost it. no veterans who came up through the system. Best/oldest player is a portal guy. He and Hawkins are allegedly oil and water. his coaching style requires a kid who can handle/want that. When things get tough, previously, they would look up to Frasier, ayo, and Kofi. But those type of guys aren’t there. with that said, one win can change everything. They were playing like a top 5 team at one point. Wouldn’t surprise me if Underwood seeks the Texas job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underwood turned Ayo into a 3rd year 2nd rounder after 3 years. Billy D turned him into an all pro rookie team in 6 months. That's coaching. Underwood couldn't beat a Loyola team with Ayo and Kofi.....and hasn't sent one kid to the first round in his 5-6 years at Illinois. That's coaching. Why would Texas be interested in that? Shoot Tom Crean would make so much more sense....at least he's won, won conference championships, been to a Final 4 and sent countless kids to the league. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to recruit nthe type of players that fits the coach. You saw it a few years ago when Painter went against his culture and brought in guys that didn't fit his culture. They lost a lot and he went back to what worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
