Just good coaching by Izzo to play that tight of a rotation so early. Woody should learn from that with this crappy 9 man rotation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Purdue is going to improve a lot by the end of the season. Didn't realize both FR were starting. They're going to be really good next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceDouglas Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share Posted November 16, 2022 Is MSU actually good or Zags/Cats overrated? 🤨 Maybe Sparty is a little ahead of some of these teams adding a lot of new players, though Zags returned quite a bit. Then again, hard to put a lot of stock in a game played on a boat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU certainly has done better than expected so far but Gonzaga, UK, etc haven't looked very impressive themselves. Even Duke and Kansas looked fairly beatable last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I saw from Michigan state is a very physical defensive oriented team that's gonna be their calling card this year which bodes well early in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette has a nice little point guard but he couldn't play a lick of defense and it looked like they were trying to put a longer wing on Smith and he kept beating them, getting in the paint and facilitating. Until he sparked that run, it wasn't looking good for Purdue, down what, 7 or 9 at one point. Crown him if y'all want, I'll take our match-up with X, JHS, and in the future see no reason why the player of the year in the state of Ohio as a junior couldn't hold his own. But that's a long ways away and hopefully JHS stays 2 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, but it brings up the age old question, is one season of JHS better than four seasons of Smith? I'd disagree with anyone who says that A is clearly better than B. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could say you recruited a bunch of KL level busts but every player I’ve seen is really good I don’t see Cupps as an elite level prospect athletically but will admit he produces and wins. I think both schools have the right coach and recruiting strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes long, athletic players who can guard multiple positions. As much as I liked Smith, and that was a lot, I don't see CMW ever recruiting a Smith type player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that side of the argument any day of the week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
