rico Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 So Dad comes over here yesterday and says the CBB season is ready to start and wants my thoughts on how his Boilers are gonna do. So I said well Pop on paper they look to be pretty good. I told him I expect them too have a good season. He sighed and looked at me and said I have been hearing that way too many years now. And then he went into about a 30 minute tirade about Kyle Macy. It was priceless. Wish I would have recorded the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad B Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't remember, but I am assuming Kentucky offered him more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been the '75-'76 season and Kyle was a freshman for the Boilers. At the time Purdue had a pretty good PG, but he went down with an injury. Macy filled in and averaged close to 14 ppg. After the season he was informed that he wouldn't be starting the following year. Macy was heart broken and transferred to UK. Sat out his year and promptly led the 'Cats to a title in '78. I often wonder what Purdue would have been with Macy there for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that Macy suited up for PU, while Larry Bird, never donned the Candy Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 What’s going on folks? Happy to share my thoughts on Purdue this year if you’d like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Seems they have plenty of talent/depth coming back. To me though you can't lose a guy like Swanigan and think there won't be at least a little reduction in success. He took over multiple games. IMO he's worth at least 3-4 Big Ten wins. We'll see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played high school basketball with Bruce and have some knowledge on this. He was not only a great player but he is a great person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we will still have a really solid team. I really like what I’ve seen from Matt Haarms. He’ll be the back-up for Haas and he’s 7’3 but is very athletic and can shoot. He has impressed so far. I think Carsen is going to have a breakout year and the senior class (Mathis, V Edwards, Haas, and P.J.) will all have good years too. Excited for the season to start.

FKIM01 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Saw a very early bracket with Purdue as a 5-seed. Does that sound about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
