Gillis in portal

Gilly’s dad played at Ball State. His mom ran track there. Plus it’s close to New Castle!
 
Potential destinations

Ball State (his dad played there but I think he’s better than this)
Nevada
St Louis
Notre Dame
Butler

I don’t see him staying in the Big 10.

Hmmm...one of their main rotation guys is leaving... didn't think that was going to happen...hmmmm??

Digging at some of our resident Purdue lurkers...

Honestly though...this could be a sign that Painter is already shifting and focusing on changing the team and style for next year.
 
This is not unexpected. Purdue is oversigned even with Gillis and Morton leaving. They still need one more.

Options are either:
A) One of the six incoming freshmen grey-shirts.
B) One more of the current roster transfers (Furst? Waddell? Berg?)
C) One of the current roster agrees to a non-scholarship year (NIL offset?)

I'll chime in just to provide clarity. It's been known since Last year that none of the Seniors to be were going to take their COVID year at Purdue. this is absolutely what was expected. They all did senior night and gave their goodbye speeches.

Those scholarships were given to 2024 recruits the last recruiting cycle. Purdue is over signed by one. So there should be one legit transfer that was not accounted for or one of the incoming freshmen will have to re-classify or prep school it.
 
Prep school I’ll buy. Reclassify? How exactly would that work? Never heard of a HS senior reclassifying as a junior. Pretty sure any governing body (IHSAA) would frown on that.
