whats the word on Hawkeye report about players leaving after the season or is just wishful thinking on their part?

Oh I know losing 4 starters will be tough. But Haarms is averaging 5.5 PPG and 3.3 RPG as a freshman backing up Haas. I’d say that’s pretty solid and his defense/shotblocking will only improve.
Wait now you’re changing your mind about Nunge? Maybe now you realize why IU/Purdue/all other Indiana schools passed on Nunge.
I like OSU around 12th again, just like this year.
not changing my mind about Nunge. he just out grew the SF position growing from 6'7/8 to 7' changed the position he will end up playing, if he had stayed 6'7/8 he just might be starting at the 3.
big difference in what you are inferring.
The way I look at it is that going into this year, the 5 spot after Haas graduated was a complete question mark. Now it’s much more of a certainty.
If you have a KenPom subscription, I would suggest checking out Haarms' page. He hasn't tapered off really at all; his minutes have as Haas has taken on more minutes. And actually, his offensive numbers have gone up in B1G play.
Not surprised. He’s had a really good year. Exceeded 100% of Purdue fans expectations.
to prove my point White started out as a 3 and ended his career as a 4
Uthoff started as a 3 and finished his career as a stretch 4.
Nunge started out as a 3 in HS and with growing to 7' that is a hard position to play so now the 4 or 5 is where he will end up, as of now Cook is the 4 so Nunge will split time at both the 4 and 5 going forward.

I htnk this is going to be one of those head scratching losses. Just not dialed in., And Illinois is hitting everything they throw up/\.
I do. He just doesn't seem to be as efficient as he was. Especially so defensively. I like the kid. Just seems as if he's kinda of stepped back.
Here’s an idea:
There’s a good chance Nunge won’t be as good as Uthoff and White. Not sure why you’re assuming he will be.
Illinois 7-8 in the 2nd half. A few have been , well, just crazy. Plus NO turnovers.
Not liking this at all. No way this should be a 2-point game. Disappointed.

wanna bet as these are his stats off the bench
16.3 mpg 6th in scoring 6.3 ppg,
3rd in rebounding @ 5.1 rpg
2nd in steal with 18
2nd in Blocks with 21
those are damn good numbers
why do you hate on Nunge the way you do? is it because Painter screwed the pooch on not even offering him?
shooting 47.6% from the field with 17 of 47 from 3. he is much better than you want him to be.
Painter didn’t screw the pooch. Nunge wouldn’t have played at Purdue until maybe his junior year.
Yes----Durham. Inconsistent as a frosh. But the potential is there. AS you can see tonight.
On a side note, Rick Bozich is a dbag for calling out Hummel on twitter. Hummel shut him down though.
Uthoff never played till his RSSO year vs Nunge is playing and has started 4 games as a FR. twice at the 3 and twice at the 5.
White was a solid rebounder and inside scorer with fans biggest complaint being he could not shoot the 3
these were Uthoff stats as a SO
18.2 MPG, 7.6 PPG, 4 RPG
123 total rebounds in 33 games, 11 steals and 35 blocks. as a FR Nunge is on par or ahead of Uthoff.
remember Uthoff didn't have his breakout season till his SR year, Nunge has 3 more years till his SR year to develop
don't forget Fran has developed 4 straight 1st BT teamers.
at this point in Nunge career he is a better 3 point shooter than White and has started 4 time vs Uthoff who never played till his RSSO season,
4-6. Everyone back. Plus the injured guards. Back to business as usual.
White started as a 4/5 frosh year. Woody came in the next year sliding everyone up. White was back at the 4 exclusively his senior year after melsahn, olaseni, and mccabe left.
We also bring back some nice pieces including a possible BTPOY in Edwards. Cupboard is far from bare.
We won’t pull a 2017-2018 Wisconsin that’s for sure.
