If you're actually a legitimate recruiting analyst with inside sources and press passes like Chad Brendel, then I'll buy it, but otherwise......

But anyway, he looks like he was a very solid 4-star prospect. More of a pure point guard. Short (5'11"-6'0") but a great passer. Decent shooter, at best. I'd welcome him, but I wouldn't be ecstatic about it or anything. Looks like he lost some minutes this year. Free throw shooting and turnovers look like they were an issue.

Sometimes it's just not a good thing to say who you get it from but you either trust the info or don't but feel free to ask jeff or chad I'm sure they have heard the same.

He's definitely a talented player. He was a consensus top 100 player in the 2012 class. He's quick, has a good handle, and he can be a willing passer... but he hasn't put it all together yet. I think a year off to really work on his shot and other weaknesses would do wonders for his game. Imagine how good the backcourt could be in 2016-17 when Troy, KJ, and Ronnie would all be Seniors, Morman would be a Junior, and whoever else we might recruit.

Junior. Just reading up on him, sounds like a bit of a head case, albeit a talented one. Of course, Painter is a pretty horrible coach, so I can see where he might not get along with him. A lot of the articles are written by Purdue fans who are naturally going to be biased against him since he is leaving. This article seems to take a fair view on his situation:http://www.hammerandrails.com/2014/3...er-from-purdue

Right of course, that rule slipped my mind. In that case I'm a little skeptical he would come here. He will have some serious competition at the starting point guard spot with TC, but if he went to another program that had a little less potential at that spot, he'd probably be assured a starting job.

Just my opinion. Why go where you may be a backup when another school could guarantee you a starting role?

He seems like a nice player but a bit of a head case. I wouldn't be upset if he ended up somewhere else.

Who the hellis cincinnatis coach even??? IDK and im guessing majority of people have no clue either. You're an irrelevant program in an irrelevant conference. Just be thankful you even have a shot at our leftovers. Have fun in the aac or whatever crap conference you guys are in. Your fanbase is so pathetically small no power conference would ever touch you. lol

This nut sac. Apparently we're relevant for you to take the time to create an account and post. Nice job pretending you don't know our conference, you almost sold it. B-low me then head back to the basement with your pitiful team.
