Wasn’t that one in Mackey?

Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something more similar to when we had Haarms. Have to see what we have with Berg but Jacobsen is going to be a good one for us.

Clingan can shoot out to the 3 point line? He took 8 all season and hit 2. I wouldn’t go as far as saying he can do that. I think Edey could hit 2 out of 8 if he wanted to. We’ll have to agree to disagree about the no future comment.

He could if he was American but being Canadian definitely limits him.

I was joking but he would get a lot to come back. I think he’ll get a good shot in the league. Clingan is a projected lottery pick who is a really good defender and Edey easily won that matchup. I’m sure that opened some NBA eyes that may have been on the fence about him.

Depends on what you consider “ugly?”

Oh no doubt. Loyer needs to hit the weight room hard and chug protein powder haha. Team will look a lot different/more athletic next year but will be interesting what the front court rotation looks like. Furst needs to regain his freshman-year form.

I don’t disagree with that statement. UConn is/was that good. But Purdue still has plenty of returning talent and incoming talent to be worthy of lofty preseason rankings. Think about MSU’s preseason ranking this year and Purdue brings back at least as much talent (if not more) next season.

Yep I was kidding haha

Overall, Purdue’s guards proved themselves against tough defenses both during the tournament and throughout the year. Sure UConn and others shut them down from time to time but the “Purdue’s guards will struggle against athletic teams” was struck down overall.

I mean it’s dumb to do rankings this early before the flurry of portal activity but Purdue has earned the respect/kudos to be ranked high next year. They return a lot of production and bring in a really good recruiting class.

I think Painter will get them back to the NC tbh.

Recent rumors he may come back actually. NIL check would be enormous.

I’d argue they proved it against everyone minus UConn. UConn was just on another level. They held up fine against a solid Tennessee defense.

Hit the nail on the head. UConn is on a heck of a run and Purdue just lost to a better team. No shame in that.

He’ll get his chance next year but he has seemingly regressed since his freshman year.

Perspective I think. After so much heartbreak for us it was awesome to finally slay the non-F4 dragon/demon. You guys haven’t had that same dragon historically.

The night is young though…

Apologies to those I snapped at. Was bummed about how the season ended. I let it get to me and I’m sorry.

lol right on cue from you big guy.

Back to mediocrity? Get real. His recruiting is at a high-level and I’m sure it won’t hurt when recruits see the run we just went on.

Most people would be pretty pumped about that no?

We literally were runners-up GTFO lol.

Cool story lol. Hell of a season and nothing wrong with a runner-up finish.

Porkchop is still a thing? Lol
