Painter continues to get players.
I'm a bit impressed that he is doing so in the new NIL era.
People on this board like to talk about our disadvantages in recruiting, but Evanston vs West Lafayette?
I'll assume we all agree thats an advantage for NU.

The beauty of our campus? Which basketball player makes his determination based on that?

The carousel is winding down, as far as I can tell there's only two open jobs left, and one of them is due to the second instance of SWAC intra-conference coach stealing, as Grambling hired Florida A&M's coach after losing their coach to Alabama A&M. Three jobs were filled by D2 coaches - Central Michigan, Denver and Lipscomb, while the other two were filled by current assistant coaches at Mizzou (Cleveland State) and Florida State (Alcorn State). UC Riverside remains the only other unfilled position, which undoubtedly played a part in former NU player Parker Strauss entering the portal again.

I attempted to bucket the programs into tiers based on the Kenpom program ratings that date back to 1997. It's not perfect, but in many ways you can see how coaches are moving up from one tier to the next or in some cases jumping multiple tiers.

Purdue is going to be scary good. Not only at the B1G, but also at a national level.

Good thing I do not dislike them anymore.

Very little playing time at Mizzou. Not a stretch guy— no 3s and all of on 26% free throws.
We’re getting a bit desperate on bigs but it’s not clear that this guy would be that helpful except to clog the lane but maybe there’s something there if TAM & IU are actually interested in him .

Last big we had who "stretched" was Nance and that did not work out well. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have that. But, if that were a must have criteria, it feels like chasing, for our purse, a unicorn.

I would not have spotted this dude were not for the fact I saw Indiana made contact with him. I have never seen him play. But he entered 3 days ago and, as you say, we are getting kind of desperate anyway.

Latest update from NWS indicates rain(although still listed as 40-50% chance) may be mainly SW of Evanston/Chicago so hopefully game can be played outdoors
