Purdue Coaches could help him develop more than IU. Players that come out of Purdue look way better than they came in different experience if you look at IU.

Thats a very uninformed take. While I do not care either way, I have to ask, what are you basing that on? It's surely not based on all of the players that the Purdue coaches "helped to develop" and went on to the play in the NBA, right? I only ask that because Purdue had a grand total of 1 (one) alumni on an NBA roster to start the '23-24 season (Jaden Ivey), and Indiana had 7, with 3 more playing in the G-League. As hard as this is for Purdue fans to understand, until the Boilers do something in the tournament, besides get upset, they will remain a "flavor of the month" program. 3 Elite 8 appearances since 1980. The Hoosiers have 2 X that. Indiana is a sleeping giant, waiting only for their administration stop making boneheaded decisions and put the right person at the helm.

@@IndianaSportsBeatRadio Respectfully, I'm afraid that's an uninformed take. IU gets a lot more Top 50 players than Purdue, and those players (e.g. Cody Zeller, Thomas Bryant, Noah Vonleh, Yogi Ferrell, Romeo Langford, TJD) are 5* players coming in. Put it another way, Zion Williamson will be in the NBA whether he goes to Duke, IU, or Purdue, so being in the NBA tells you more about recruiting prowess than development. I'll give Tom Crean credit for Oladipo, and maybe Anunoby, but that's about it. Meanwhile, most of Purdue guys were outside Top 50 (which describes Sisley), and the reality is that guys like them typically don't get drafted in the NBA, yet Purdue got a fair number of them drafted (e.g. Vince Edwards, Carsen Edwards, Jaden Ivey). Painter has made afterthoughts like Zach Edey or Braden Smith stars, even guys like PJ Thompson and Sasha Stefanovic played starting critical roles on Top 3 teams. Purdue has proven a place where if you are willing to work hard, you will get your opportunity to shine. On the flip side, IU has shown that they will keep recruiting the transfer portal, so you can easily get over-recruited if you go there. Lastly, with so many IU fans calling for Woodson's head, should Sisley go to IU, there's a good chance that he will be having a new coach before he graduates. Is this what's best for him?

Hardly uninformed. Quite factual, actually. Fans see things threw an ubsure lens. The limited number of players Purdue puts in the league is in direct proportion to their historical lack of post-season success. No program has more regular season success and postseason failure than the Boilers. Three Elite 8 appearances in the last 43 years. Indiana's problem over the last the last 20 years has mostly been with coaching, they've brought in good talent and left as elite talent. Purdue has really good coaching, but never truly elite talent. Hence the lack of players that make it to the next level. And what's best for Trent Sisley is what Trent Sisley thinks his best for him.

@@IndianaSportsBeatRadio Ah, post season success. Yes, that's absolutely one area where Purdue hasn't excelled, but that does not support your argument that "Purdue doesn't develop players as well as IU b/c they haven't produced as many NBA players." Romeo Langford played and lost in the NIT and still a lottery pick. Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz didn't make NCAA-T either and were #1 pick. I agree with you when you said, "Purdue has really good coaching, but never truly elite talent. Hence the lack of players that make it to the next level," because outside of Caleb Swanigan, Purdue typically doesn't land elite players. Meanwhile, IU got a lot of those elite Top 50 players to begin with, and wasted their talent (e.g. Krishen Lander and Tamar Bates), or didn't utilize but the player's sheer raw talent is enough to get him to NBA anyway (e.g. Romeo Langford). By all account, Sisley is a great kid with amazing basketball talent. Yet, he is not at the level of a 5* McD AA. A place like Purdue has history of making these talented (but not yet elite) players to fully realize their potential, as high as National POY (and maybe even 2x). Mr. Basketball went to IU (Leal) and did nothing for 4 years; a lower-ranked Mr. Basketball went to Purdue (Smith) and is among a Top 10 PG nationally. Sorry, one must be willfully ignorant to not see Purdue develop players better than IU.

@@charlespork23 you're cherry picking certain seasons for certain players and using their particular tournament success which is not my point and that's taking things out of context. It doesn't matter what a players' ranking is coming in (unless they are already projected to be an NBA Draft pick and only Romeo was). Players absolutely develop at Purdue. But just not to the "elite" level and if you're not winning in March, like Purdue hasn't ever done, and you do not have, or are notbproducing elite talent, you have to make the connection of the results. I'm not trying to make this is a competition b/n IU & Purdue. I'm just connecting Purdue's lack of getting, having, or developing "elite" talent to their documented lack of success in March. 3 Elite 8's in 43 years? That's it? Just using IU as a comparison, and I agree with your stance that Indiana (widely) brings in higher rated players than Purdue. Looking at the Hoosiers over the last decade or so, while they have mostly been average at best over the last 7 years due to really bad coaching, IU still won 2 B1G titles, '13, '16, and was ranked #1 in the country, (something that too Purdue 125 years to accomplish...) As I previously said, the difference in Indiana's recent lack of success has been strictly coaching, no question. But the lack of success for Purdue imo, has been the fact they they do not have the "elite" talent which means you cannot be an "elite team." The reasoning for why they do not have that is irrelevant. And judging strictly off of their historic post-season failures I would say it's time to recruit better players to go with Matt Painter. I think he's great, but I wonder if he's as stubborn about trying to do it completely his way? Like Mike Woodson has been in not recognizing what's he's doing is not working either, but in a very different manner. Zach Edey is a very different and generational player simply because of his size. He has improved as much as anyone on that roseter, but he's still basically one dimensional. By that I mean he doesn't handle the ball outside of the post, doesn't take shots away from the rim, etc. I asked someone else this question yesterday, If I take Edey and put him on Illinois or Northwestern, and you take any player you want to replace him, who wins? Those teams become an elite team and the odds on favorite to win the national championship. Purdue has a really good trio, but Northwestern has a better quartet of four guards that all avg double figures and shoot an astonishing combined 40% from behind the arc. Edey is an outlier, something we don't see very often and could be enough to carry Purdue to a title if he can get the help he will need for 6 straight tourny games. But if the Boilers had an elite player like Boo Buie or Terrance Shannon to compliment Edey, I'd bet them win it all today, no questios asked. My observation is that if Purdue wants to consistently have success in March, then they need to upgrade their talent, because Edey is gone after this season.
