Matt Painter with some harsh, but truthful, words to kids. Speaking on the Dakich show today.

Re: "Still, you might have gotten your degree from Purdue, but you're not a Boilermaker if you walk out the door in the end.
Apparently the adage "Once A Boilermaker Always A Boilermaker" (i.e. like a similar phrase at another school that I could mention) doesn't apply at Purdue........
Another comment or two:
1)These players are STUDENT-athletes and they full filled their part 100% by graduating; which (needless to say) helped the school's GPA score.
2) With a coach that has that attitude, I can see why they might have decided to transfer too.

Never Forget 31-0
Painter is a cry-baby. You recruited them. Promised them a chance to get to the NBA in some cases. Sometimes that does not come to fruition and kids move on for better opportunities......
His position and comments are not a positive for the Purdue program...

Agreed. It’s a fair point, I get his frustration with trying to keep kids bought in.
But opening his mouth brings a ton of scrutiny. Everyone will be looking for the next time he takes a transfer or pursues another job (unlikely at this point, but he has been rumored before).

Not Banned
Purdue obviously got hit hard by transfers, losing two guys who were key cogs to their team for the past 2 seasons. Had they stayed, Haarms and Eastern were expected to be among their leading returnees. Painter should have just kept his mouth shut about those guys rather than be critical. Going negative only makes you look petty - you make millions every year off the backs of amateurs and get pissed when the amateurs exercise their freedom of choice because it makes your job harder.

Quite a stir for a below average player. Titus put it best.

Indiana announces Justin Smith will transfer
The Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball program suffered a tough blow on Friday morning with the announcement that soon-to-be-senior forward Justin Smith would not be finishing his career with the Hoosiers.
Smith comes off of his junior year where he started all 32 games for Indiana. He played an average of 30.4 minutes per game for the team, averaging 10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-7, 230-pound Smith is a graduate transfer and will be eligible right away at his next school.
The announcement of Smith’s transfer came in a statement issued by the team on Twitter.
“Justin Smith and I had a conversation recently where we discussed his future, the feedback from the NBA and he has made the decision to graduate and transfer for his final season of eligibility,” head coach Archie Miller said in the statement. “I support his decision and wish Justin and his family all the best in the next chapter. I’m proud of his growth as a person. He’s a great young man and has been a terrific role model off the court and in the classroom. He obtained his degree in three years from IU’s Kelley School of Business and we thank him for all his contributions to Indiana University and our program.”

Mac McClung transfer to Texas Tech may have provided the blueprint to obtain NCAA eligibility waiver
McClung's careful choice of words may have opened up a door for future transfers seeking to play immediately
Former Georgetown standout Mac McClung committed to Texas Tech on Wednesday, becoming the latest heralded transfer to join Chris Beard's program. Under standard transfer rules, the 6-foot-2 guard should now be required by the NCAA to sit next season. McClung, however, laid the foundation weeks ago to at least give himself a fighting chance to receive a waiver to play immediately by providing a carefully-worded statement to ESPN that could double as a blueprint for all other transfers.
Here's what he said: "It was a number of different events that made me feel I had no choice but to transfer from Georgetown. I really wanted to stay, but things throughout my career made me realize that I couldn't."
Ladies and gentlemen, that's how you do it.
Roughly one million players have announced their intention to transfer in advance of next season, and the overwhelming majority will apply for a waiver to play immediately. I have no idea how many will get one. But what I do know is that McClung knew exactly what he was doing when he provided that statement above.
He didn't talk about his role. He didn't talk about style of play.
He didn't say a single word about basketball.
When asked to explain the reasoning behind his transfer, McClung kept it simple and just said there were a "number of different events" that made him feel he had "no choice" but to leave Georgetown. Then he added that he "really wanted to stay" but that there were things that made him realize he "couldn't."
It was a perfect statement -- vague enough to not box himself in to any one story but clear enough to get it on record that McClung didn't want to transfer as much as he felt like he had no choice but to transfer. Whether it's sincere or not, I'll let others decide. But what McClung clearly did is give the NCAA absolutely nothing to use against him when he ultimately applies for a waiver to play next season.

Just sayin': Probably won't work, he should hire a good "transfer lawyer".
