WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - They were on the set of the Big Ten Network during Big Ten Media Day. Coach Painter was asked what Matt Haarms, a 7-foot, 3-inch center, looks like shooting a 3-pointer. Taken aback by the question, Carsen Edwards interrupted quickly with the response "A Pro". The tools and the desire is there. He's gained 25 pounds of muscle since his arrival 20 months ago. He's worked on his shot tirelessly. He ran a 5-minute, 25-second mile in the preseason. He blocked a shot every 10 minutes he was on the floor as a freshman. The time is now for Matt Haarms after playing behind Isaac Haas. He is Purdue's next great 7-footer and his time has come.
