Some scheduling news for Purdue

Isaiah Hill explained why he committed to play college basketball at Purdue.

This is another major 2027 Purdue target to keep an eye on.

A huge win for Purdue on the recruiting front

After thinking about it and seeing the fact Painter isn’t picking up a center in the portal, I feel Jacobsen is primed for a breakout season.

No I don’t think he is the second coming of Zach Edey, but I do think Jacobsen is going to surprise people. I want to remind people that he reclassified before coming to Purdue, so he is still young. Let’s just wipe that redshirt year off our memory. Think of last year as a true freshman year. There were definitely flashes and talk during the season on if Daniel should start over Cluff, but he definitely hit the wall there in the Big Ten season. I say that but I feel he held up surprisingly well against Arizona.

Jacobsen still needs to bulk up and get stronger, but people forget how much weight he put on this last year, he still has room to grow. His game is also the kind where you need to work through mistakes to improve and he just didn’t have that kind of leash last year, but this year he will.

I just feel optimistic, I think we will have a surprisingly strong team with Omer and Jacobsen taking leaps, Cox continues to improve, Pierce as a veteran, Ertel being a stud, West could be unreal. It’ll feel like a brand new crew next year but I’m excited!
