Agree. If just for 2019-20, I'd take both Tillman and Dosunmu before Tre. And by a decent amount.

Yea that one is a bit interesting... not that it means much, but I just don't know how he would figure Sophomore Tre being better than Junior Tillman. I like Tre's potential a lot, but I think the only thing he is currently better than Tillman at would be post moves within 5 feet of the bucket.

Edit; It doesnt mean much based on the level of competition / organization, but Tillman at Moneyball looks like he's in great shape and working on his handles and shot

It was a much better place for conversation until the past couple seasons. And it's mostly due to a handful of posters (a few Purdue guys included), who spend their entire time flaming on here rather than actually wanting to talk basketball. It's a shame, because this used to be a really good outlet to talk about the league with people outside the echo chamber of a home board.

Still get good conversations for stretches during the season, but unfortunately those are dilluted by inevitable trolling back and forth by the same characters. The offseason is just a complete shit show with a few pockets of recruiting news.

This was my post on the subject from May:

It's definitely a source of pride but not quite as much as the Elite Eight appearance. My personal Purdue basketball pride priority list:

National Champ
Runner-up
Final Four
Elite Eight
Big Ten regular season champ
Sweet Sixteen
Big Ten Tournament champ
NCAA appearance
Sweep IU

I bumped Elite 8 down after Purdue made one
 
Purdue fans, is Haarms or Williams the better overall player?
I think it’s close but I’d lean Haarms at this point. Defensive prowess and the ability to stay on the court matters. And being a way better FT shooter.

Don't get triggered. I didn't even pick a side. I might now though.

I agree with this. Although I don't think it's too close unless Williams has huge improvement in his conditioning. He's on a good trajectory though IMO
 
Just watched video of malik mcdowell, former msu fball player fight a cop. That guy is a complete fvcking idiot. Could have simply given his license and insurance over and walked away with a ticket at worst. Total moron!!
 
This I'm above the fray mentality by telling us how the last 15 pages are shit is fvcking stupid. Are you going to add something of actual material of just look down upon everybody else?

i'm not saying if i had been posting it wouldn't have been a shit show, just that even by b10 offseason standards it was pretty shitty week or so. and some posters said similar, so don't act like it's some off the wall hot take. dayum

Right now I’d say Haarms. Way better defensively and can stay on the floor a lot longer due to his conditioning compared to Trevion. If we’re luxky, Tre and Haarms play together at the 4/5 some because Tre is still going to be one of our best players. I’d say our top 4 players in no order are Eastern, Haarms, Williams, and Wheeler.

I’ve seen it. An absolute moron.

To be fair to him though, he did get a closed head injury after his ATV accident which got him cut from the Seahawks. He has been completely off the rails ever since.

It’s a Michigan State football player. Lower your expectations.

You really can’t help but insert yourself into conversations with ******ed hot takes like this. Go outside and make a friend you weirdo.

I think he’s just happy everyone isn’t shitting on Iowa at the moment.
