Well, Purdue would have to boot someone or have someone leave for the NBA. They show no open scholarships.

Mizzou already has a PF in this class with the same measurables and Jacob isn't playing the 5 in the SEC. I wouldn't sign somewhere duplicating a position.

That said, neither have offered. Offer me if you want me. Hopefully he heeds the go where you're wanted mantra that has floated around social media as of late. He is going to play much earlier here IMO.

Purdue has one available scholarship regardless of anyone leaving. Two of Edwards leaves early.
 
Thanks for the update. Verbal Commits appears to be incorrect as they show you full.


I've only caught a handful of Carsen Edwards highlights but he doesn't strike me has having a huge future in the NBA... smallish though damn quick, can obviously shoot from anywhere... I could see him playing in Europe forever but am betting a tweener in the NBA
 
Edwards is listed around #41. I don't think he is considered a sure thing, but I'll bet he's better than some current NBA players.

No doubt -- likely future will depend on which franchise he lands with and sticks with; just thinking at his size (6'1" is generous, no?) he may bounce from team to team...

can't coach size and i don't see a David Robinson-like growth spurt in his future

I read that his Dr. said he would likely be 6'9" and 240 when he's done growing.
 
Have a feeling LaRavia is Purdue's if they want him.

He has already stated that he wants to play in the state of Indiana and that he has turned down offers from other schools due to being out of state. He has said very positive things about Purdue. If they offer, he will most likely be a Boilermaker. If they don't, I think we have a very good shot of landing him.

It wouldn't be the first time Painter has dipped into the mid-major market.

LaRavia would easily reach 6'9" but I was talking about Edwards NOT having a late-growth stage

if we land LaRavia, it'll be the best thing that emanates from the Harris dismissal...

I can't think of the last kid we landed from a Lawrence school

I was talking about Edward's doctor. What is a "Harris dismissal?"

Edwards' doctor must be taking his own special prescriptions...

Edwards entered Purdue at 6'0" 190 (per their media guide), he was listed at 6'1" 200 last year and this year -- i don't see him adding 7-8 inches after he graduate college...

a 'harris dismisal' is SIUEdwardsville not renewing HC Jon Harris' contract after this season... isn't THAT the reason this thread exists? The fact that LaRavia has decommited from SIUE?
 
I think this kid would be a really nice player for us and would probably play A LOT if he comes here. He also would get to play alongside Cobie Barnes and Jared Hankins. BUT.......if Purdue is his dream school then none of that will matter I suppose.

And Robinson and Thompson and the little guy from Beech Grove.

I think his recruiting has moved up a notch the last couple of years.

Thompson worked out very well and belonged. John Hart was a mistake and definitely learned from that. Who’s Robinson? I’m drawing a blank. His recruiting has definitely improved and he’s been quoted saying he recruits a team, not star rankings. I know they are after a kid committed to Arizona so we will see once Miller is fired.

Robinson from North Central. He had a big brother on the team. He's got some nice freshmen up there now and has something like #5, 7, and 8 in Indiana (counting La Lumiere) coming in.
