I think every team in the league will regret that considering where he went.

Matt Painter is an admirable guy who plays a helluva style of basketball and runs an outstanding system for COLLEGE basketball. Sadly we once took Todd Leary over Painter as a player. The difference between IU and PU is that we are far more realistic in our assessments. PU fans typically have a huge chip on their shoulders and live in an alternate reality. The amount of post hoc rationalizations that come out of them is astounding, whereas IU fans will give a far more realistic assessment whether it hurts to say or not. When IU is good and Purdue isn’t, the amount of total BS that comes out of that place is loathsome.

I’m sensing a selfie in the works between games!

Uh oh I missed the edict

Great news. He was the most critical guy IMO

No sorry. I should have said “if we get him”. Was just thinking ahead. Sorry for the confusion.

Humrichous has as good of a shooting stroke as you will ever see. Looks like we have a far better handle on scouting the portal than we did last year. It will be very important how we use him. He’s highly skilled but not a plus athlete.

Good fit, I think.

She may be running for the hills 😂

Are you talking about Zeke Mayo? I see that he grew up in Lawrence so that would be logical.

I’m not above that.

I agree that there are plenty of good players but we need the right combination of players. We don’t need one thing, we need complements. For example, I think we need 4 guys between the 1, 2, 3 positions. In that group, I would like 4 guys who have an answer defensively. I would like two to be legit ball handlers (then I’m redshirting Cupps). Two need to be excellent shooters. Someone may be an outstanding player but not the perfect fit for our situation right now. I think that shooting and our offensive structure are critical. We can’t just watch Miller Kopp stand in the corner passively. We can’t have the ball go into Reneau and then never come out. It’s not appealing or winning basketball. We’ve seen that. The most critical thing I’m rooting for is fixing the long term personnel. Next year was heavily gutted and beyond that was basically nil. If Woody can get the roster normalized for the future, that will be a huge win for all of us. I have been pounding the table for Ryan Conwell High motor, tough kid. Shot well and not a slow setup Good size and rebounds like an animal for his position. A lot of people disagree with me, but these really good mid major players have proven that they acquit themselves very nicely at this level. It’s proven constantly. I’m not a snob about a guy at a school like ISU. I think they would have finished 3rd or 4th in the B1G and they absolutely got hosed by the committee. just my two cents.

This is great news. Third straight year we pulled a five star in the spring.

I used to live there and the amount of growth there has been amazing.

Also, there are different types of athleticism. I’d call Geronimo a straight line athlete. Can run and jump. But this young man is far more agile. It’s a totally different type of athlete when you look at them laterally. Some of those drives through the lane, no way could Geronimo do that.

Great for Ware. He did everything right and carried himself very well. He played hard and well. Great asset for the program and I wish him all the best.

Yeah I’m sure he’s getting connections going with Adam Howard. If I were him, I’d be calling Liam too.

It’s jarring to see how mediocre Sampson’s defense is.

Thanks. I turned it off a while ago.

What? They blew that lead! Thanks for the heads up. Will turn it back on. Purdue to me is the most impressive team in the tourney so far and the temperature will rise in the Bloomington administration and nepo baby donor offices as a result. Pam Whitten may not realize what that will look like.

Nothing like having the classlessness, lack of self awareness, and general DBaggery to take a shot at working people trying to live their lives while having the luxury of getting paid for playing a sport. Go make fun of a nurse working an overnight shift taking care of an old person at 2 am using the bathroom while you dribble a basketball. Dufus.

I wonder how long his record for push offs and stiff arms with his off hand when he’s carrying the ball will last? It’s so high that I would say 75 years minimum.

No proof but I bet he was shown the door.

Surprised they aren’t looking at Josh Scherz. He would fit their program perfectly IMO.
