I’ve told people this 100 times but no one wants to listen. He will make more money at Purdue than NBA. His basketball career will likely be almost over once he leaves so why not stay.

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.

Stopped you cold on D too. NC St maybe didn’t win the battle but they won the war. You can’t tell me that physical defense they played on Purdue didn’t have an effect when UConn ratcheted it up even more late in the first half. Purdue had no legs second half. They were gassed and especially Edey. Too much physical ball had its effect and then add UConn just running their shooters to death through their motion offense…that was a tough back to back to have to play.

Clingan can shoot out to the 3pt line…he also is able to move his feet and block shots. Edey can’t play drop coverage in NBa. He has no future and I’m not saying that because he is a Purdue player…would be the same if he played at IU. He will be playing international ball or be a clone of this guy…minus the personality and girl obviously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year he will just have the pieces. His best bet would be to plug in another big, but there aren’t many (if any) other bigs as good as Edey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Edey was 1-2 on 3PT shots this year, and strangely enough, I was at both of those games. He missed (badly) against Eastern Kentucky and made one against....of course, IU in B-town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 3 hours ago, Kdug said: Jones and Edey alone made up 44% of your scoring. I wouldn’t say you’re returning a lot of production with those two, especially Edey, leaving. Yeah that’s valid. I loved Jones but definitely think we can replace that production with some of the younger guys coming in and guys like Colvin and Heide with increased roles. Replacing Edey won’t be easy of course but it’ll be fun to watch what CMP comes up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Hoopsier Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 I miss the old days when IU was discussed on and IU message board. Not sorry. Since I am a VU alum, how about I inject the Trailblazers into every thread. VU hold the record # of National Njcaa TITLE appearances with 34. VU truly own this state !!! 34 TITLE appearances !! John Holmes was one of the talented coaches..... JOHN FREAKIN HOLMES !!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
