It was a big week for Matt Painter and the Purdue men’s basketball staff as they picked up a commitment from perhaps the highest rated recruiter of his tenure at Purdue in Isaiah Hill. The rising senior big man stands at 7’0” and is a top 10 recruit in the country according to ESPN. Purdue has not had a recruit ranked that high in ESPN since they started tracking this stuff in 2007, now obviously other recruiting services may vary. Does this mean he’s a slam dunk all-american in the making? Ryan and I discuss this and what his impact could be on the Boilermakers in the first half of the podcast.
Next, we continue our look at the men’s basketball roster and this time we discuss rising sophomore Jack Benter. Benter played out of position for most of the season while also nursing an injured wrist for the final 12 games of the season. Despite all that he shot the ball over 40% from three as a true freshman and in my opinion has an incredibly high ceiling. Give us a listen on this episode of the Boiler Alert podcast.
