Sucks having a level playing field, doesn't it Lil'Jimmy?

💯 hilarious watching shoe cheaters struggle a bit.  Sadly KU has figured it out. 
 

Who are the NIL leaders in basketball?

You guys have to be close

Already happening all the best players of these small rural schools are transferring to schools like Floyd Central... I get it... i would have to.. but schools like South Central and Crawford Cty will be plucked ... some schools have a planetarium, some schools have their planetarium in their backyards.

Back in the day you redrew the school district in Marion or got the parents a job near Lafayette Jeff 

Sucks for Badgers 🦡 

Can’t wait for this to “trickle down” to HS level 

Can’t wait for players to switch during the season….

Ballo 💰💰💰

Doubt he commits without liking the coaches & role they see him in 

Everyone has NIL…maybe IU has more…but he sees replacing Ware as an obvious fit.

This rectified our defensive rebounding issues, imo. 

Malik, MM make reasonable gains in that area and I expect it to be a strength... Rice avged 3+ 

💯 He’s a big dude with long arms 

Guarded Zach pretty well 

Not a great post up guy, shot blocker  or passer but will grab boards and defend…rim run 

Forgot he redshirted at Gonzaga his first year….6th year player!  Man Strength 

Is he the best big man in the Big Ten?

Maryland big coming back? 
Queen will struggle with his physicality 

You probably still need a 10-15 minute center to back him up….

Great get 👍👍

I don't think many teams are going to do this going forward precisely because of the situation you are describing. Why spend on the unknown. 

Who would you rather have ?

Storr 900K

Gillis 300K

MM 800K

Tucker 700K

The way MM played down the stretch makes it interesting 🤔 

Never been to Fayetteville….. 🐷 

Smart play by Ballo….he will never play in the NBA so make that NIL 💰💰💰

Payne from gophers has more athletic ability but both are really good college centers 

Sadly nobody cares but you guys are number 1 if you consider the top 6 are known cheaters

Watching the podcast Sleeper Media yesterday and both of them made it sounded like Ballo and Carlyle was a lock.

Indy lawyer friend told me it is 

3.3 is a bargain 

in a couple years that’s one player 

honestly don’t know why you’d spend 700K on a 5 star freshman who has proven nothing if AJ Storr is basically the same price 

Lots of IU ❤️ 

Rumor Mill 

Gillis to Duke…. 🤢 🤮 

Ballo to IU….1.2 million reasons 

Happy for the players to get a taste but I still want to scream at clouds

Agreed. My biggest worry is his defense. PAC12 defense is like a 4 letter word.

He’s got quickness & length….but so did JI 

If Purdue were portal shopping he’d be high on my list 

Watched a few Cougar games….he stood out with his athleticism and ability to get to his pull-up or all the way to the basket 

Wouldn’t worry about 3 pt shooting percentage…he has good form

Translation?

"IU SUCKS!" 

😁

Translation:  Purdue knew who was leaving…nobody was Creaned 

IU is a great school

With all the over signing going on at Purdue it's sad to see all these young men getting "Painted."

Gotta suck for Gillis only having an MBA & BS….i assume XJ is doctor?

I guess MP should be more like CMW and not even know if players are going through senior day or coming back

It’s weird that Purdue has started to embrace over signing. That used to be just a sleazy tactic used by other teams. They even had a name for it…

I’m not 100% sure but it seemed like MP knew somebody besides the seniors was leaving.   
Never fully understood the “Creaning” issue….Big Ten basketball isn’t a club sport.  
Staying on the team with NIL and no scholarship for an in state kid isn’t that expensive

I maaaaaay get laughed at for this, but I am posting anyway to see how crazy I am…. Maybe desperate.

next coaching cycle I would put bill Murray’s son, Luke, at the top of my list to at least talk to/ do due diligence on. I was watching something last night, and Luke is the maniac behind UConn’s offense. All he does is watch basketball. FIBA, Europe, China, whatever. Anything. Everything. Took what he saw and developed their offense out of it.

or at least make him the highest paid assistant coach x2

MP was impressed 

Said he’d be borrowing a few plays 

Plus Bill comes to your games which are always in NCAA….baby steps….

I expect there to be one or two more that will surprise and disappoint PU fans

I will never blame a kid for taking a huge pile of money 💰 

Purdue degree is huge but a million dollars is hard to say no too

Gillis hitting the road now? 

Dude…5 years 

BS & MBA  📜📜

Gotta give other young kids a chance to live the dream 

Reminds me of growing up with IU fans 

Any conversation they were losing would result in BANNERS!!!!

or 

Cow College 

or

Ugly Coeds

Archie wanted him bad, wonder if Morton winds up at Rhode Island.

Good Luck 🍀 

From a top 50ish recruit to not playing has to be tough….

HSN local Purdue guys were saying he's done playing and going to focus on medical studies...? something like that.

Posted that 2 weeks ago 

it makes sense 

He has a ton of talent but like Morton or TG the confidence in his shot is gone

Rumor mill: 

Furst won’t play next year so he can start medical school 

 

Somebody isn’t coming back 

likely a big since MP grabbed the 7’3” kid at the last minute 

Smoke 💨 

Fire 🔥????

Somebody is not on scholarship next year 

I envy anyone who loves something more than playing basketball….not sure I ever did….

I wonder how many kids are waiting to see what Cal has at Hog Heaven?

Tyson & Walmart 💰💰

heard stories of agents working both sides….so freaking sleezy

Hold it right there salt water “Turt”!

IU was the one and only IU because Coach Knight was captain and we were practically winning a National Championship every 4-6 years to get Knight his 3. 
Then the wheels fell off. lol 

Purddue will never be IU unless Painter goes on run similar or better that Knight’s. 🤓

Wasn’t a fan of RMK  but he wins Monday….

No way he let’s Hurley F 💣 Scott May in the middle of the court or intimidate the refs all game 

MP just laid back and enjoyed the show
