His handles aren’t pretty but he takes care of the rock regardless and gets downhill sneaky fast which draws the defense. The fact that he’s pass first when he drives to the basket is crucial and paying dividends. I wish our PGs would share in that philosophy

Those are all great options. Zach Calzada would be a huge upgrade, simply because he has experience going up against and beating the best in the country and you can’t put a price on that. Cam Ward while a bit of a wildcard is getting a lot of Lamar Jackson comparisons and there’s little that’s more exciting than that. Here’s to hoping Coach Allen can land one or the other

Random thought: I’ve never been more curious as to how the buckeye helmet stickers are awarded after seeing Marvin Harrison Jr.’s hat half full of buckeyes coming into a game with only a handful of receptions, 68 yards receiving and zero TDs.

No he didn’t. UT, inexplicably, refused to even try to tackle him…opting instead to try to strip the ball from him. Their defense is a dumpter fire

Did you watch the ND game? He gently (some might say lazily) lobbed two passes to the defense and got ripped by the commentators. He’s 2nd only to XJ in turnovers and his passing is a big reason why

4th year at IU and Rob still hasn’t learned to utilize the bounce pass.

They will sell Bailey on Rattler going pro after a year. If anything it’s a plus as you get an NFL bound (allegedly) QB to mentor you year one and get you ready to take over

I feel like WR can sometimes be a tough position to recruit because if they don’t come from a powerhouse program with elite level QBs in a WR friendly system there may not be much to go off of and thus don’t get the same attention or adequate ranking. That’s one position I don’t even bother having an opinion from a recruiting perspective…I’ll leave that to the guys who watch film every day

2-3 inches (I don’t think TJD is a true 6’9 but we shall see come combine time) and a bigger frame, passing ability and midrange jumper come to mind. Cody isn’t light years ahead of TJD and if he were 6’8 he’d be out of the league

I can’t think of one NBA forward that you can point to and say “TJD would/could be of that cloth”. He doesn’t have NBA size, shooting ability, handles, or quickness/explosiveness. He’s a very good college player but unless he develops an excellent outside shot he’ll have little opportunity at the next level.

I assumed you didn’t…I was mocking your GBI fan forum and the overall attitudes of many of the Purdue fans I know.

??? I fixed a typo

Purdue Fans: Indina (pu fans never know when to let a bad joke die) Sucks!!! POTFH!!! Little Brother!!!!! Irrelevant Program!!!!!! IU Player Hits the Portal to find playing time: Great fit for us!!!! Love the get!!! He was their best RB, DL, CB!!! Your “never has been” program and moronic fanbase are a total clown show

Anywhere from 4-8 would have been appropriate. My original comment was more to the disparity of others dropping 10-12 spots for similar losses versus Purdue’s 2. Dropping only two spots after a loss should be reserved for losses to teams in the top 10, not a Geo Baker-less 4-4 Rutgers team. In the end, it’ll all work itself out. Just thought it was weird, especially given how Purdue struggled after the loss.

Cool….

Utterly shocked by Iowa and Wisconsin’s recruiting efforts, Nebraska as well but it’s understandable. Do these schools have a scholarship crunches?

Have to imagine it’s gonna be tough for this kid to shine at Jacksonville State at CB. Opposing teams will avoid throwing in his direction. I’d be willing to bet he’ll be transferring to a power 5 school in a year or two. Unless you’re a QB this kinda move doesn’t work in football but I’m shocked there’s not more of this in basketball.

I don’t argue that they shouldn’t be top 10 but when other one loss teams drop 12 and they drop 2 it’s a little weird. They were one bucket in regulation away from being the 3rd or 4th team in AP Rankings history to move into the #1 slot only to lose both games the following week. They have two good wins at the moment but if Villanova doesn’t get it together they’re left with UNC. Even Purdue fans were shocked they didn’t drop further

Is he being brought in as RB or WR? He’s gonna have put on some serious lbs to his frame if he’s gonna line up in the backfield full time. Wouldn’t hate having a Rondell Moore type hybrid though

The AP rankings are bananas. Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas lose to quality opponents on the road and win vs a cupcake…drop 10+ spots. Meanwhile Purdue loses on the road to a 4-4 Rutgers without Baker and need OT to beat NC St and drop 2 spots. Makes zero sense

As a walkon?

Making 1st Team All State in Ohio will do that for ya

His future is at guard so Im sure he and the staff will do everything they can to keep him there but I think it largely depends on Sales and if Carter Smith is what everyone says he is and can put on 25lbs in the offseason we may not need Bedford at tackle

CTA did an interview and was asked about the OL issues, saying changes needed to be made and he was going to make them…the only change the next week was Carpenter moved into Katic’s starting role. So it’s an assumption on my part but a confident one.

Jones, Powell & Katic were the problem from my vantage point. It was pretty ridiculous Katic or Powell started over Carpenter as it’s obvious to everyone including CTA that Carpenter is better. Bedford has always been a stud and Haggard was solid. Hopefully Sales is ready to go full time next year and we can find an opportunistic transfer, otherwise the two freshmen will have to learn on the fly.
