Kaufman Redshirting?

Yup. He wanted to take the year to develop. With furst and Gillis at the 4 and the 3 pretty full as well, it makes sense.
Hopefully by "Redshirting" you mean transferring to IU after a terrible year in West Lafayette.
Yeah. I’m sure he “wanted that.” Dude could’ve went to a bunch of schools and got good coaching and plenty of playing time.
He played a ton of minutes in both exhibitions and looked like he was going to be a big part of the rotation. But he's also raw. Painter has redshirt conversations with guys before they commit. He doesn't force redshirts on people.
So what about next year when Gillis and Furst are still there? Or the year after that?
I
These aren’t Crystal Ball insiders but they’ve been right on a lot of Indiana bball news.
I know a few people and heard rumors he’s wanting to make his way to Btown after the Woodson hire.

I hope we’re not too far off from not even entertaining the thought of taking a kid that had to redshirt at Purdue.
Porkchop lied to him to get the commit.You know it too.
I don’t think anyone should read too much into this redshirt decision. Painter has wanted to have key freshmen redshirt for sometime. His approach is to get old and stay old. It prepares the kids better for both the academics and the game. A good example is Brandon Newman.
Not sure who porkchop is, but weird you have to insult people to make you feel better. Painter didn't lie to him. Be curious to know what he lied to him about?
See my comment above about some potential real speculation about the situation.
Also, I hope your feelings go beyond bball.
100% lock to IU. Pencil him in the starting lineup next year.
Oh. They do. I just think it's hilarious. I don't take much in that speculation. Not sure what that has to do with kaufman playing 2 exhibition games then deciding to redshirt.
You think when he was recruiting him he said “we are likely going to redshirt you as a freshman “? Anyone with a brain could see your front court was full.
Looks like Purdue's that good..
Top 40 kid ..Cant get minutes...
I'd question top 40 though...He got man handled by two 6"1 kids from Connersville in the Regional....
Idk..
Who cares..

Who said Painter went up and said you are redshirting? The only time Painter says I'm redshirting you is when he recruits you with the notion that you will redshirt. See Waddell for details. Painter doesn't recruit guys and get them to practice, then say you are redshirting after they are on the team.
Obviously that’s what he did with Kaufman. Are you trying to say he pitched redshirting him while he was recruiting him?
Nope. Not saying he pitched it. But also not saying Painter is forcing it on him. They probably sat down and talked about what this year will look like for kaufman and then let kaufman make the decision on what he wanted to do. Same he did with Newman.
A real life lesson here. Not all pork chops are cut the same.
Well there are a ton of minutes to be had there based on the current talent level
“Hey I’m not going to play you much this year. You can either redshirt or not, but you won’t be playing much. I want to be clear though that the choice is yours”.
Painter redshirted Newman in a year where his guards were pathetic. Big mistake.
I don’t want to know what happened immediately after you clicked Post reply.
Whatever conversation you need to make up to help you sleep better at night I guess.
Lol it doesn’t go any other way. No chance Kaufman accepts being behind Gillis and Furst without some convincing by Painter. It was a dumb move to go to Purdue just as it was for Newman.
Why was it a dumb move to go to Purdue? A place where they can develop, contribute, and win?
You clowns down south never disappoint. TKR couldn’t get far enough away from your dumpster fire, so much so he’s willing to sit a year and play the long game. And now he’s itching to transfer? Savor that nail biting win against one of the worst teams in the country.
He’s behind a guy in his grade and a guy in the class before him. If he hasn’t passed them now, how will he pass them next year? Or the year after? Painter also doesn’t produce successful NBA players, so for a top 50 guy, it was a bad choice.
How about your sources @MikeHoncho69? Are they as solid as clover's?
So, I'm assuming you agree TJD and Lander made a bad decision? Usually top 50 guys want to play in the tournament and that might not happen for either.
Lol TJD made a bad decision? He was an All American as a Sophomore, and a preseason 1St team All American as a Junior. What a clown take.
Lander did make a bad decision leaving high school early.
The clown take is thinking Trey's mutual decision was a bad one.
Now the clown take is thinking your leader would rather have self accolades over his teams success. You're truly a clown!
A broken finger in the off season probably contributed to the redshirt.
