    I personally think he'll have to do something pretty drastic this year, though, to approach Redick and Laetner status.
    I dunno, it's a whole new era now with Twitter and school (and sometimes specific sport) specific sites, even than when Redick was in school. Which seems like yesterday (damn).

    I don't see him approaching them, but I do see where you're coming from. The culture of recruiting has gotten really...creepy in the last couple years. It's always been dirty and slimy and all, but I just mean as far as fan involvement. I'm a 27 year old man and I follow multiple 15/16 year old kids on Twitter that have "Purdue interest," I have no room to talk. I knew where JaQuan Lyle was a couple weekends ago, that's kid's a junior. In high school. That's just downright creepy. But I'm not about to click unfollow because I have a Purdue P as my Twitter icon. And it matters.

    Slightly taller Steph Curry with less court vision, but better at finishing around the rim.


    Subzero is a good name, because he'll certainly be a sub in the NBA.

    p.s. - Not trying to hate. Kid has a sweet game, I don't know if he has the explosiveness or size to be anything more than a roleplayer/6th man at the NBA level.

    OK. Nowhere near NBA ready. Falls in love with his dribble, not particularly good court awareness. Can't guard at NBA level.

    Unless he blows up in the NCAA tourney, he's late-lottery at best if he comes out this year.

    Spot on. BTW, I liked what I saw of the younger Zeller this week. lots of upside there. If they had anything approaching a decent PG he'd be even more productive.
