What do they have coming back or in, aside from the kid that grew up there?

The roster makeup can be a combination of many things. That being said, last year’s offseason was a big swing and miss with how it was constructed. Woody landed some really nice pieces, but forgot perhaps the most important ingredient by not bringing in another guard. I expect that this offseason will look different. Just my opinion, but I believe that Hickman is an important piece to land.

That wouldn’t bode well for his NBA dreams in my opinion. He’ll never have a higher ceiling and this draft is amongst the weakest of recent memory.

I agree, but you never know.

UConn has the definitive advantage at guard and wing. I believe Edey can insert himself over Clingan, especially if he can get Clingan in foul trouble early. I’d look for UConn to do something that Purdue hasn’t seen and turn the tempo all the way up.

Coworker(PU fan) walks into the office this morning, looking as if he’d seen a ghost. I asked him what was wrong and why the nervous energy? His response was that he dreamt that Purdue got beat by a double digit seed for the fourth consecutive year in a row. I told him that at least they made it to the Final Four this time… he got sick and left early. Part of me wants to see the B1G succeed, but selfishly, if he’s right and they do fall to NC State.. oh man, what a story!

Sweet, we’re going to get to face both of them at least twice next season!

That certainly could be the case. That being said, his play from what I saw, seemed like he was fine. I honestly have no information one way or the other, but looked to be in good cardiovascular condition when I watched him. Logged a full workload without any issues that I saw anyway.

I watched him play a few times this year. He wasn’t terrible. I think his biggest issue will always be the shadow of his dad. People really have unreal expectations of him… what the hell, he would fit right in. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Out of nowhere, from the top ropes…

Wait a minute… are you saying that it’s possible to play postseason basketball and focus on recruiting and the portal??? 🧐

As a low risk-high reward prospect… I was sold on that volleyball spike/block that bounced 13 feet after smashing the floor. Kidding aside, you never know until you know. What I know is that you always recruit athletes with major upside. Sometimes you end up with an OG Anunnoby or Victor Oladipo, and worst case… a guy that doesn’t crack the rotation and transfers after two years. Either way, sign me up for the potential and sell me on the work.

Ware seemed to be a very likable Hoosier and I’m glad he came here, even if just for one season. He will be missed. Not very often we get true rim protection and he provides that in heaps. Wish him nothing but the best!
