Point guard Kyle Molock was in no hurry to make a college decision.

With three seasons to play at Dublin (Ohio) Coffman High School, the 6-1 sophomore could have watched the recruiting process unfold.

But after making an unofficial visit to Purdue last weekend, Molock saw no need to delay a decision, accepting basketball coach Matt Painter's scholarship offer.

"I love the Purdue campus and West Lafayette," Molock said Monday. "I like that it's more secluded than some metropolitan campuses that I've visited."

Molock, who hopes to major in engineering, business or pre-med, said he admires Painter.

"I knew he was a great guy . . . a genuine person," Molock said. "The thing I really like is that he really is focused on you the person, not just the basketball player.

"I like his coaching style and the fact he likes to play at a fast tempo. He gives his point guard the opportunity to run the show. You can sense by watching them that he lets his players play."
