Indykev Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, Wayward1 said: Nojel benefited from Carsen. When Edwards would drive right, Nojel would hang under the basket. Carsen would draw a double or triple team and pass off or take the shot down low. Nojel could get easy passes underneath or easy put backs. Without Carsen, no one was driving the ball in. That was Nojel's job, but he's not equipped for it. So his points were cut in half. I could see it coming. He didn't regress, he was just shown exactly what player he was. And that is NOT a point guard. Sounds like a coaching problem to me. A coach who can't use his players skill set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it comes down to Painter cant develop players and the family see's that. It comes down to his mom thinking another school can showcase his talents better. Which is laughable. He was always going to be limited offensively. He’s getting bad advice honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us were saying this Carsen's last year on this board and impact he had not only on saving Painter time and time again....but impact of his play and helping those around him. Carsen bailed out so many deficiencies it was hard to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needed to embrace that a) he wasn’t an NBA player, b) he needed to focus on doing the little things like rebound, play lock-down d, and get garbage points, and c) he was never going to be THE guy. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will say again what a concern has been for 45 days. If you play or are a recruit in a state that seems to think shutting everything down is the most prudent.....you will see mass departures. Players, recruits, commits,etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you are correct. As in my mind I was confusing the transfer portal, with kids who put their names into the NBA draft. Only to test the waters.

IU4Ever Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 A great many of the schools in the California State University system are members of the CCAA (Div. II) athletic conference and shortly following the CSU announcement, the CCAA announced that it was suspending NCAA competition for the fall of 2020.

I look at the ceiling of this years team as fairly low but the year after with an extra year of experience plus bringing in Furst could be a good year. Agreed. I look for a pretty up and down year next year but the following should be really interesting. I think Hunter and Williams are really good. That said I think Wheeler is the key for that team. When he is knocking down 3s it really makes the offense tick. A year older with Ivey and Morton plus adding Furst you will bounce back...but next year you are going to have some really ugly games I think. That said...last year wasn’t a picnic with the two...so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I assume he can shut down IU for the fall... Although maybe that’s a BoT decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 I wish the rules were different when Eastern came out of HS. Eastern's mother would have talked him into hiring an agent and entering the draft. And then we wouldn't be talking about him right now. Fwiw, I feel Purdue is a lot better off without him. Seems to me that ever since he got to campus he has been trying to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, other than having no offensive game so needing to earn their minutes through defense and rebounding, entering the NBA draft every year with no chance they'll be drafted, and an overbearing parent posting too much on social media and/or message boards what do they have in common? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Does not make much sense for Eastern to leave since he has to sit out a year. Don't see many juniors who is not a grad transfer decide to transfer so to me there is a problem. Maybe Painter is tired of Eastern's act and his mother.
