Oh Purdue makes me as sick as the next guy ….that being said , when you follow a kid through their high school career and they end up at Purdue …while that clearly shows they lack rational reasoning skills …it doesnt mean you cant still admire the individuals abilities. Furthermore , when IU doesnt offer them AT ALL I think that increases the point exponentially ….he could have been wearing red if we offered him , Wish we had him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stetson was fun to watch and it looks like iu is gonna be even more athletic this year so should be lots of fun basketball ! He still could be a contributor at a power 5 school later on as a grad transfer depending on how things play out with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think you’ll be impressed with is that even vastly under sized for big ten play and without hyper athleticism to make up for it he is as poised as a seasoned point guard in his fourth or fifth year and that’s very rare as a 19 year old jumping from high school and into the big ten. All the steaks he racked up aren’t because he is an athlete he just has one of those rare sixth senses for the game he’s the type that will always know where the ball is and where it’s going and he will exploit athleticism on the offensive end and create a lot of open shots …….I expect he will take some lumps when he has poor shooting nights be here has a great shot and he doesn’t lack confidence so I would say think kind of a Jordan bohannon mixed with Aaron craft , he will be an annoyance he will keep his team settled and even though he’s not the best athlete on the floor there are going to be games he sticks some knives in us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 This is all well and good, but I watched probably half the Wisconsin- Milwaukee - Purdue game, and the Boilers shot 38% against one of the sorriest defensive teams I've ever seen...

He may end up as Purdue's version of Aaron Craft. Granted: - it's one game - he's a freshman - it's a long season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted: - it's one game - he's a freshman - it's a long season Check check and check And he will see more athletic defenses come big ten time ….if he can get his 3pt shooting to hover around 40% and he can adjust to the bigger quicker defenders he’ll be fine and keep getting better …if not he will be a minutes guy but I’m betting on the former especially over the course of a career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
