All the top recruits are going to start asking that. It was one of the reasons that got Dane fired. I hope every recruit in the country hears that from Underwood.

He showed a willingness to get ahead at any cost and leapfrogged a lot of coaches by cheating instead of being patient and rising through the ranks a little more honorably. I doubt he has many friends in the coaching fraternity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a phenomenal job with transfers, very ahead of the curve. If I had to guess, they probably have somebody on their staff who is responsible for being prepared on the portal. They seem to get critical transfers every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 With all the talk about tampering, I honestly don’t know the answer to this. Has anyone gotten into trouble for it, or is a free for all? If it’s the latter, you have to be stupid to not be aggressive in there. If Purdue talked to Pack two weeks ago, good for them if it’s tacitly accepted practice. I’ve said it for years but the NCAA is flat out one of the most incompetent large organizations in the country. You get ivory tower types who have no freaking idea how to run an organization with real life implications. They’d be better off with someone with real life experience producing something instead of academic nincompoops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the first place you are losing Ivey then Williams and not really replacing them with anyone comparable. Also losing some experienced players and replacing them with unproven ones. Edey is a decent player and Morton has potential but the rest is unknown. While Sasha may be bad on defense his 3 point shooting is going to hard to replace. It is pretty simple to see that they will take a step back, probably around 6th or 7th in the B1G in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I imagine him and Xavier would be two of the leading preseason vote getters. IF Purdue gets Pack he will help but not to the point they will be in discussion for a B1G title.

Losing Ivey is a positive losing TW50 sucks losing Sasha hurts more than Ivey….MP always says the offense runs better with him out there we have to have the guy running off a billion screens. Dakota, Carsen, Cline, Sasha… I think Pack could easily be that guy gillis & Morton are possible Newman needs to feed the post and cut down on turnovers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I think Purdue will be solid next year until proven otherwise. Their system will allow for that. But by the same token they also have a ceiling until proven otherwise. They were gifted the parting of the red seas in their bracket this year and still couldn’t figure it out as easily predicted. You don’t get gifted opportunities like that often. A veteran team that was healthy—and with a lottery pick no less—with an easy bracket. They should have been playing today but squandered it. Ultimately, Purdue has had a great opportunity the past several years with IU trying to find itself, yet Purdue hasn’t capitalized. Contrary to what they believe, this isn’t going to go on forever. Woodson’s coaching this year was already a warning shot for them. The Purdue people may look back on these years and be infuriated that they couldn’t seal the deal while IU was down. If I were a Purdue fan, that’s exactly how I would be looking at it. A big flaw for them is they will prioritize size and power but today’s game puts a premium on team quickness. It will serve them well on a cold Tuesday night in Iowa City in January and get them obliterated on a spring day against an upstart in the tourney.

It doesn’t matter if IU has some 21 year old writing up index cards with some names on it. Deliver top talent or fix what you’re doing. Nobody cares how the sausage is made. Get players that matter. 9th place isn’t good enough. Get some urgency and produce. Edited April 2, 2022 by BobSaccamanno 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
