Kaufman Redshirting?

He did, but I think there may have been some other issues there. But sure. 1 guy doesn't make your case though.
The bad look for us is more discussion (79 and still counting) about a Purdue player than one from IU after our season opening game with a new coach. That doesn't bode well here.
JJ, Vince Edwards, Robbie Hummel. Literally every player outside of Moore hasn’t made it in the NBA.
JJ played for a bit, but doesn't have the outside shot and I think he was to early for his style. Vince isn't athletic enough, but has floated around. Hummel played a few years, but the ACL's cost him. It takes a special athlete or an elite skill to make it to the NBA. Painter doesn't have many of those. Carsen to short. Mathias has shot threes in the NBA. Hammons didn't have the motor.
Who has Purdue had that was the caliber of athlete of someone like OG or dipo? That's what it takes. Ivy might be the closest thing and he's been developed into a potential lotto pick.
were you there? Porkchop also told Kaufman that he was playing him at the 3 spot,lol. I believe that Fatt Matt steered the"conversation" to the desired conclusion. Do you really believe that Kaufman went to broileeland to redshirt his freshman year? me neither..
That is not what it takes. Yogi, Morgan, Troy Williams, Cody Zeller, and DJ white all had/have solid NBA careers.
Ivey is a “potential lotto” pick based on hype and a VERY weak year for guards.
Probably better for you to just accept Kaufman made a mistake in picking Purdue and bow out.
Hard to say how the conversation went, but yes, Painter said he would develop kaufman into a 3. He didn't promise him he'd play the 3 in year 1. Anyways, I've said what Painter has said and discussed how Painter handles redshirt. If you want to assume otherwise to help cope with the fact that kaufman went to Purdue and is redshirting and need to tell yourself Painter is a lier, go for it.
3 if those guys you listed are g league players at best and yogi is a comparable version to what present day Moore is. Zeller is a solid NBA player.
Ivy also has a lot of potential. Ja Morant type player. Can he be that good? Hard to say. Still developing. Why was it a mistake for kaufman? Because he's redshirting to get better? OK. Have fun this year.
I really don’t care why anyone cares who, on any team, Redshirts. Kaufman evidently is going to have limited impact on his team this season and will develop while not playing games this season. So what? Players do it all the time. To be honest, Kaufman would likely have limited minutes on IU’s roster too this season.
It will be fun to revisit this when Kaufman leaves Purdue next year.
Are you the same @TrojanFan004 that was saying Gillis was transferring last year? Or are the screen names just a coincidence?
I expect kids will be transferring in huge numbers every year from now on. I'm sure players will leave both IU and Purdue next year.....just all in the game.
Yep. This was my original account. It just started letting me post on this one about a month ago.
Yes? Considering you likely lose Hunter, Ivey, Sasha, Trevion, and Edey, I’m not sure you want to add anyone else to that list.
Why don't we ban these idiots....you could say far less and get banned at the sensitive gold and black.
Why wait? He could leave now and play somewhere in January. Answer… he’s not leaving Purdue.
All coaches do to an extent. Look at Lander. I can assure you he came to IU expecting to be a day 1 starter.
Not all IU fans are as dumb and blind as the ones on this board. There are a ton of reasonable ones too who realize what we’ve become. Optimism is high for this new staff though. All schools have wackos and unfortunately a ton of them are on here.
I tried to tell people that being 6”9 and playing against 6”3 southern Indiana Centers makes guys like him look better than they are.
Yea, we have wackos that said Billy Donovan to IU was a done deal.
Gillis was promised the starting spot to start the year, so he decided not to transfer. Obviously that was prior to his DUI.Well at least your bad takes are consistent
Kaufman is going to be such a good player for Purdue. Gonna be on some loaded teams too
Lol. Painter doesn't promise spots. Gillis EARNED the starting spot prior to his DUI.
Maybe that's been the problem with IU ... stop chasing and promising things to recruits with stars next to their name and make them earn everything on the court. Then just be brutally honest with each player about their current development and what their opportunity to contribute will be.
When you do that, you end up with a loaded roster. One in which you have the luxury to redshirt a Top 40 recruit.
Getting old, staying old, and not needing a new shiny freshman to come to fill some void due to lack of development or poor recruiting in prior classes.
I hope we have the luxury to redshirt a Top 10 recruit soon
And if we do -- it won't be because Painter lied to him and didn't follow through on a promise to start him.This is how you build a program -- and not swap coaches every few years.
girlfriend, more alcohol intake, new hobby, getting your own apartment.
just saved you much coin from self-enhancement seminar.
your welcome and good luck on your new beginnings.
Well we don’t have to worry about you getting a top 10 recruit considering Painter said Purdue will not be engaged in NIL activities. We will be seeing a lot more classes like your 2022 class from now on.Lol. Painter doesn't promise spots. Gillis EARNED the starting spot prior to his DUI.

I don’t think my wife would like the idea of a new Girlfriend, more alcohol, or a new apartment.
You’re*
Your post contained nothing of substance, so I chose to comment on the laughable take that Purdue would not only be getting a top 10 recruit, but also getting them to redshirt.
Isn’t it crazy to think about when the 2022 class graduates the streak of consecutive wins will be at 20 and IU will be on their next coaching staff?
Painter discusses NIL with all recruits and Purdue offers a NIL class to its athletes to help them maximize NIL. Gibbs-Lawhorn said NIL is a big reason why he's high on Purdue.
Do you have a link to those GL comments? Painter said in his radio show last week Purdue would not be engaging in NIL activities.
It's paid content in a GBI interview, so not right off. Maybe it was a rivals at large interview? Not sure. Pretty sure some current players have participated in NIL. It's hard to believe Painter wouldn't allow it.
Also not sure how big of an impact it will have when all is said and done.
I have access to paid GBI content, so feel free to send the link.
I never said Painter wouldn’t allow it, but he said they aren’t going to be engaged in pushing it like most other schools are.
You are already seeing the effects as you’ve already lost Jalen Washington due to NIL.
