I'd say that's about right, but I do think Smith made a big jump freshman to soph year. And, I agree, it's probably going to be year 3 before Cupps is ready to take over as starter, but if he also makes a jump, and we surround him with a couple shooters, I think we could get by with him next year. I also predict Smith is going to take a step back when he no longer has the big Canuck to toss it to, which is probably next year. I could get 6 assists/game if I had him to toss it to.

I'm sure it was someone embellishing, but even 6'5" or 6"6" is pretty amazing for someone his size. I'm thinking more dwarf than troll, but I'm not an expert on middle earth.
I didnt say he wasn't a shooter in HS just saying he has took major steps back. But Leary has mentioned look at his feet he shoots from the side thats not good form.

Hall of Famer
Currently at Blackhawk Christian in the Fort they have a 6'5" kid named Isaac Smith. He is such a good 3 pt shooter that if he misses when heis open you are surprised.
P5 college is a huge step up from High School. Some guys need time to adjust. Or they don't, that happens often also.
Sean with 29 pts last night, Junior Pg Grady Carpenter with 32 with 6 threes. 6’6 pg and a junior
No, no relation to any of the coaches. Carpenter is a true PG, one of the best passers I have seen in a while. Also funny you mention Painter, Paibter loves the kid and said he is watching this season for Grady very closely. So never know what happens but the kid can play.
No answer so I guess he didn’t impress. Did anyone on here see his grandfather Jimmy play for IU and if so where does he rank among the great IU shooters? For me he is just a legend and haven’t been able to locate any old video.
Jace is getting only very minimal playing time in his freshman year at Purdue.
I think any of the great shooters after Rayl have video available online so Rayl may be the last that doesn’t-shame.
i will defer to your experience with this recruit because I have only seen him play once. but he dribbled too high and wasn't P5 quick. but his shooting/scoring is impressive and I like sg's that pass well.
He played for Kokomo so with Bidunga and for Sherron Wilkerson. You can find him at the bottom of the Purdue roster-Jimmy Rayl’s grandson.
Rayl graduated from IU in 63 so fewer people remember his play with each passing year. I hoped maybe someone on here still remembered his play.
