wow at the comments by Painter:
"I don't mean to hurt anybody's feelings, because I like the guys who have left my program. I like both of them. But transfers don't get drafted very much. It's a very, very small percentage," Painter said. "What I look at more than anything is embrace problems and embrace adversity and fight it. Don't run from it. When you run from it and your work ethic isn't at a high, high level like a Carsen Edwards or a Caleb Swanigan ... that's the one thing that's not gonna change.
"We tried to play Trevion Williams and [Haarms] together, and it didn't work," Painter added. "In reality, Trevion Williams beat him out. That's it. ... You might've got your degree from Purdue, but you're not a Boilermaker if you walk out the door at the end and say, 'Hey, I want to make the league.' Well, guys who make the league work hard like Carsen Edwards and Caleb Swanigan. I didn't see that from him. Did he work hard in practice? Sure. Did he work hard in games? Sure. Was he a good player for us? Yes. But if you take him and rank him against those guys I just mentioned, where would you rank him? So Trevion Williams beat him out, and if he wants to move on, then that's his choice.
"When you look at the people that have been here when Nojel's been here ... all those guys improved and then you didn't improve," he continued. "He made a really good jump, Nojel, from his freshman to his sophomore year, and then he took a step back this year. ... Now you become the outlier. The other guys got better. The other guys improved."
