Thought everyone might want to go follow this website that was created. Going to post it on another thread too.

No need to be sorry at all I respect your opinion for sure.

Yeah I think like a lot of high school kids when they are the star of their team and get high volume they look great because they are getting reps but then Woodson has a specific demand for defense and you get buried if you can’t defend and that not only hurts your confidence but also hurts your number of reps.

You know what I would find interesting/cool with NIL being such a thing. You now get 5 years of eligibility instead of 4 since Covid year is gone but that 5th year you must be enrolling in a grad program and you must transfer to a different school. Now obviously number of years change based on redshirt and medical redshirt.

I mean I’m happy but weird Sparks would literally change his instagram to Indiana Basketball 2025.

Don’t think this is true. He just changed his profile to Indiana Basketball 2025

It’s literally like putting salt into a wound. So not only do we have zero 2024 players to talk about we have to talk about a players success going to a rival school.

Now that the Montverde pipeline is closed he’s gonna transfer there LOL

For some people they love a state or a program so much that they don’t care what the job is they’ll take it. IMO based on Pearl’s interview he truly feels that way about Indiana. Same with Dusty May

Weirdly enough I’m not overly excited about him based on the recruiting analysis I read. Seems to me like he would remind be of Booker from Michigan State.

You’re spot on because think about this: We probably need 7 to 8 new players: Returning players most likely: Newton (injured all year) Galloway Leal Sparks (unfortunately) Cupps (maybe) Mgbako (fingers crossed he comes back) Reneau (debating accepting our NIL Offer so 50/50) So at minimum we have 8 open scholarships Plus for 2025: We are guaranteed next year to lose Galloway Leal Sparks Mgbako And probably Reneau and zero 2025 commits. let’s say 4 of the 8 new players we get have eligibility remaining in 2025 then after next year we will need 9 new players.

I’m hoping he sees how far Auburn goes and what Woodson does in the portal. If Woodson doesn’t do anything by time Auburn is out then he gets rid of Woodson and that’s why he hasn’t came out and said anything yet

Yeah not sure why admins don’t just move it to general discussion doesn’t make much sense considering no one wants this thread to continue but Purdue members

If so don’t think that’s good for us

Was he interested in IU first go around?

I know we have a transfer portal thread but people were asking if we could start a thread for players that IU might be interested in.

I was shocked we went into zone yesterday. Wonder if zone would work better in this game.

I made a comment on Twitter last night that I don’t understand why Ware doesn’t get the calls that other big guys like Edey get. The contact with no foul called against him is insane. Woodson makes enough money that he already should’ve publicly called out the refs to start getting his guy some calls.

Yeah we would’ve been better off if he fouled out for once lol

Yep 1000%

Except on that last possession when he clearly should’ve passed to ware because then ware has two options. 1. Drive and score due to mismatch or when they collapse on him kick to Leal for wide open three.

I don’t understand MR’s thought process there. Ware had his guy completely dominated for an easy two points there.

What stinks is this. We beat Iowa and Ohio St. And yet they will get the two “seeded” spots from the big ten because of the stupid NET. So basically the NET screws us in both tournaments UGHHHH

WE MADE FREE THROWS!!!!!!!!

Yeah I think the main NIT Bracketology guy said 1 win gets us for sure in the NIT. If we can get past Nebraska we match up well with Illinois but that was with Galloway not sure as much without him. If Purdue somehow gets upset we could win this thing. Nebraska is the one we somehow just don’t matchup well against.
