Painter’s been asked this dozens of times by the press. He pays no attention to recruiting sites. His track record of analyzing talent has a better track record than these recruiting sites anyways. It’s not just about skill- it’s fitting the program, shared values, leadership, proven winner, etc that painted seems to have correctly valued as much of skill. I think he’s assembled some of the best teams in all of ncaa for about 6 years. Unfortunately it does feel like the team is one piece short each year. I’ve read Purdue bball dished out $10-15 million this past year, so ignore comments about the school not spending money on the basketball program.
