FKIM01 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Well Rothstein will get zero credit on GBI after picking Purdue 9th (I personally find that hilarious). Maybe it just feels that way but holy cow...the Big Ten looks a lot tougher this year than last year. ...oh and 12th is too high for Illinois. Illinois is going to suck.

Rothstein is a joke. 9th for Purdue is laughable plus he picked Happ over Carsen for BTPOY which I think is funny. Nebraska at 3?! I don’t think Minnesota or Iowa should be ahead of Purdue and maybe even Wisconsin. Way too low at 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Another ranking I found curious was Northwestern at 13th. Collins went from up and coming coaching genius to that? Admittedly, I don't follow Northwestern, but that's a big fall from where they were trending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure his analysis is at least more credible than the GBI analysis of Romeo Langford. You had a poster that didn't even have him in the top five freshmen, which is beyond laughable. Hard to take anything serious I read there, but it's damned entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one proven player on their entire roster, and he benefited greatly from the cushion that defenses had to give the perimeter because of Haas.

Happ avg 18p 8r 4a 2s 1b and shot 53% from the field last year. Great stats. Other than scoring (Carsen has a .6 advantage there) all of Happs stats are better.

Not sure how anyone could say Happ as POY is laughable unless they don’t watch basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Couple of question marks, but overall seems a fair list at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Nebraska to me feels like Northwestern last year - expected to take last year's momentum and take a step up but they end up with a disappointing year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebraska at 3?! I don’t think Minnesota or Iowa should be ahead of Purdue and maybe even Wisconsin. Way too low at 9. Trust me. Edwards is in for a rude awakening when he realizes he's number 1 on everyone's scouting list. He's going to have to work twice as hard to match his numbers as last year. I liken it to Yogi when we lost Zeller, Watford, Oladipo etc... On another note, none of these experts are going to put IU as number 1 in conference for fear of being called bias, particularly after last years record. That is why on most preseason rankings we are #3 or #4. However, we will finish in the top 3 and have a good chance of finishing #1. We have the 2 best players on the court at any given time.

FKIM01 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Carson is a good player but I'm amazed at how the toiletmaker faithful view him as unstoppable but yet think that Noel Eastern will shut Romeo down. Romeo is a few inches taller than Carson but he's easily stopped? Interesting logic from Smellermaker fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I truly believe that by seasons end, we’re battling with Michigan for the conference championship. If there’s any guy in the B1G who’s got a chip on his shoulder and out to prove himself this season, it’s Juwan Morgan. I think that we get a very aggressive/determined Morgan, who in his own right will be out to prove that he’s the best player in the league. I know that Romeo is obviously the player with the highest ceiling in the league and he will be exciting to watch as well, but I see Juwan taking his game to another level. Also, Justin Smith is going to be fantastic! I think that a trio of Romeo, Smith and Morgan will be very formidable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect one of those two players to win it. I agree with 9 being to low. I got you guys around 6. I expect IU to be around 3-5. Should be some exciting games between us this year. Hopefully everyone stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addictedtoIU Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 I don't buy Nebraska hype. Big 10 was quite weak last year, and NEB was benefited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should either finish ahead of Purdue? Why would anyone pick Fran and Iowa over Purdue based on his track record there? Or Little Pitino?

I think 5-7 range makes sense for Purdue. Laughable to think Iowa or Minnesota are picked ahead of Purdue. That’s absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you’d cite the Purdue free board is beyond me. No legit Purdue poster believes that and the vast majority know and acknowledge how good Romeo is/will be. I could go find some stupid crap on the iu free board and post it here but it’s silly because it’s not representative of the majority of the fanbase.

I think you’re underestimating how good Carsen is. I think a lot of the other players on Purdue last year benefitted from having Carsen there to break down the defense more than he benefitted from them. He could get his own shot at any time he wanted. Guys like Thompson and Mathis benefitted from him more than the other way around. You don’t think there were games last year when he was number 1 on other team’s scouting lists? Not sure I’d agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of your fans cant see objectively when it comes to IU. And no.. it's not absurd to think those two teams will finish better than Purdue.. both of them have more talent. They aren't better coached.. borderline poorly coached, but they have better talent this coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 No way the Boilers finish 9th. I can see them finishing either 8th or 10th, but 9th is absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
