It is hard to believe we’re already talking about 2020 Purdue basketball targets, but with the 2018 class locked in (save Tyger Campbell, if he decides to come) Matt Painter is already working on 2019. I got to see the one member of that 2019 class tonight in Isaiah Thompson, the younger brother of P.J. Thompson, as I do most weeks since I moonlight as a reported for the Zionsville Times-Sentinel.
As it happens though, Thompson was playing against Hamilton Southeastern, which is full of potential Division I talent. Zionsville entered at 11-0 tonight and ranked 4th in the state, while HSE was 12-2 and ranked 8th.
