7'3" Italian Center Luigi Suigo to visit IU
- Thread starter mushroomgod_1
- Start date
If Purdue lands him, it's imperative that we find a recruit somewhere named Waluigi to go up against him.
If I'm Matt Painter, my first question to him would be "Are you familiar with Zach Edey?"
I don't know who "these guys" are. I'd never heard of the kid and thought he was maybe an under the radar find, so I just did a quick search online and this popped up, leading me to believe he is on the radar of several programs (seems a growing list).
Hell if I know, I reckon maybe some folks here would care to know a little more about the kid's recruiting. But hey, for the next few weeks until this place gets shut down, I will run all my potential posts through you so that they receive a proper vetting.
Might be why Purdue is on the list to begin with.
Depends on when he makes the decision, and how badly programs like Kentucky and even IU want him. Purdue isn’t beating out Kentucky for pretty much anyone.
But if he decides soon, and the bigger boys don’t get as involved, they may get him.
Kentucky doesn't have the appeal to international recruits that they do to Americans. We have the money to go up against them for Luigi. Not worried about UK getting involved and most certainly not worried about iu.
Maybe you can beat them on other factors, but you don't have the money to go up against them lol.
And you're worried enough to post about it.
You lost lil feller? Lemme help ya...

The definitive source for all BoilerUpload news.
I sure hope IU did not spend more money than Purdue on a bunch of Mid Major talent, but it sure appears IU did not go up against Kentucky for any NBA talent. I know you beat them out for Wilkerson, but was Kentucky looking for a backup vs IU a starter. You also must of forgot about Purdue beating out Duke and Auburn for Omer Mayer, but he will be a backup to Smith! You don't need to worry Purdue or Kentuckys money, they seem to have found a way to compete.
Based on? Purdue best out Duke and Auburn for Mayer.
Now Jacobson being around could hurt Purdue for Luigi. Doubt money is an issue for Purdue.
Purdue has okay NIL, but it’s not great. That’s a fact sorry. It’s also not a big deal but clearly you’re insecure about everything Purdue.
What is ok NIL? Honest question? Because Purdue seems to have the money needed. More than people here seemed to think before the portal.
No they didn't. And they won't beat out Kentucky, if Kentucky gets heavily involved...let alone IU.
Purdue has 1 player on their roster that is an NBA level prospect, and Painter recruited another lumbering oaf to eat in to his minutes. They do seem to have more money than most would have thought. But they aren't in the same stratosphere with Kentucky.
And Duke, obviously, cooled on Mayer when they started getting more serious with guys like Sarr. Its cute you think you "beat out" Duke for Mayer.
They didn't beat out Duke and Auburn? Because I've read otherwise. So are the articles lying?
That's a FACT? I'm sure you are the clearing house on Purdue's NIL. You don't know, I don't know! Talk about being insecure! Typing something on the internet does not make it RIGHT.
It's not an honest question and you clearly don't grasp this.
There are a few schools that can fairly legitimately say money isn't an issue -- Duke is one. Then there are around 10-12 more schools with ~$10M rosters. Then after that it's a tier Purdue is in. Every journalist and agent that reports on roster payroll doesn't have PU in the top-15 or so schools. Sorry.
It's actually not the end of the world. Payroll is important, but it's just part of a program. PU has okay payroll, but they use it well and have a very good team. Yet you lose your mind over it.
I can admit money is an issue for IUBB. It's not a big deal to be honest about it.
1 player? Really? Smith will get a shot. Mayer has a chance from what I've read. Jacobson will. Whose the lumbering oaf? Can Murphey make it as a 3 and D guy? He's got the 3 part.
I guess, if Painter makes another final 4 with 0-1 NBA guys (do we count Edey since he had no chance at the NBA per you all) then Painter is a hell of a coach.
I'd say Purdue roster is around 10 mil this year. But with rev share and limits to NIL, the game is changing again.
But like you guys have said for years. Purdue and Painter will sink in NIL. So you clearly know what you are talking about.
PU has benefited greatly by kids sticking around, this should be look different once Smith, Loyer and Renn are gone. I know some who contribute to PU for NIL and you are correct they are definitely second tier as I believe IU is at this time.
I think Purdue has 3 or 4 who could make it to NBA. IF Jacobson stays healthy, he will be Purdue's next top 10 NBA draft pick. Sleepers just talked about him yesterday, how big and dominate he is, go watch it on Youtube, Plus your track record on Purdue Basketball has well been, "really bad".
Cool. Football will be ok. Good coach, good resources. Made a bad hire, now fixing it. Last year is irrelevant to this year.
Also not sure what football has to do with this. Lol
But why did they stick around? Purdue paid them and Purdue recruited the correct type of guys to the program and culture. And I really don't see it changing after this year. But I get it, it was supposed to change after edey. Purdue has depth, youth that look good, and more talent coming. Why would we expect it to change?
SI had a article yesterday talking about Texas A&M having a overall player revenue of $55 MILLION!
National media means nothing. They don't know anything about purdue football. I'll actually use facts. Purdue did a big stadium project, has really nice training facilities, spent 20 mil to replace a bad coaching hire, and brought in 55 transfers. And a head coach talking about how he has the resources necessary to win. National media doesn't no crap.
Proof? Didn't the national media have iu going 3-9 last year? But sure, they know whats going on. Lol
That image is probably by design. PU wants that image of doing things “the right way”. They don’t want to come off as having a super high payroll, as the higher the NIL the dirtier the program looks.
I think it’s all an image that Painter wants to project. They aren’t just out winning the pay for play battle. They are doing things by coaching, development, and rewarding players later (the image they want),
