"We've won at a high rate because of our players. All of our guys have sacrificed." #Purdue coach Matt Painter talks about Purdue's ability to retain talent, develop a championship-caliber roster: si.com/college/purdue…

Coaches aren’t chasing highlight players, they want the dogs who compete. Who finish. Who refuse to break. You think it’s just about talent? It’s not. It’s about habits. Effort. Mindset. Be the one who sets the tone, not folds under pressure. Compete like your spot depends on it!

Coaches have “favorites.” But it’s not politics: it’s trust, effort, and impact. Be the player who can be trusted, makes the right plays, works hard, stays committed, and lifts the team. Talent matters, but trust + commitment = playing time.
