Junior forward commits to Purdue
Lawrence North High School junior Jeff Robinson said his father told him to look beyond just the coaches when making a college choice. Because Robinson's father, also named Jeff Robinson, played major college basketball, Jeff Jr. used his dad's advice before deciding to make an oral commitment to Purdue. A 6-9 forward, Robinson is averaging 6.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks for the Wildcats, who will take a 17-5 record into next week's sectional semifinals. He becomes the third recruit in coach Matt Painter's class of 2009, joining 6-5 Kelsey Barlow of Cathedral and 6-5 D.J. Byrd of North Montgomery.

What's the big deal about a guy who averages 6.6pts, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks for a team that is 17-5?
Has this kid ever been to West Lafayette? He'd better have a lot of PSP games to while away the boredom from one of the most boring places on earth.
The Purdue nickname is an apt one. If I were stuck in West Lafayette, I'd be drinking Boilermakers all the time.

Painter will take this team farther than Gene Keady did. That's not a knock on the Great Combover; Painter's just a great coach.

He probably wouldn't get any P.T. at IU anyways with those stats. Indiana always gets the best guys in Indiana and Purdue gets the scrubs.
