AM Rumble: recruiting season, Gaffney, Cockburn, a ticked off turtle

For openers: this turtle does NOT appreciate the undersea paparazzi.

Don’t laugh, this is of interest: Purdue’s Nojel Eastern is declaring for the draft after a freshman year where he averaged three points and three rebounds.

No, he is not hiring an agent.

But what he is doing is getting some feedback on his game. And as a 6’6”, 220 pound player, a likely tweener who apparently has point guard skills. With that many options for a hoops future, it’s laudable that he’s going out and trying to get some input on what’s intriguing about his game and what he can work on.
