One of the freshman bigs were going to redshirt. Most thought it would be emmanuel dowuona. Below is what I said before last season. And what does EB have to do with Gillis? Also lol at referring to a free board.
What are your expectations of Gillis? Imo, if Painter wants to waste a year of eligibility, he will play him 5 minutes or less per game.
 
July 2018, @NC_Trojan10 comes out of nowhere and these are from the first few pages of his posts.

If you aren't using 247 composite, you're doing it wrong. Easily the best rankings out there.

Pick the top 8 players (starters plus 3 subs) from Purdue and IU's roster.

Carsen
Romeo
Justin Smith
Morgan
Haarms

Fitzner
Evan B
Jerome Hunter

Purdue has 3 really good defenders in Eastern, Edwards, and Haarms. After that, the rest of the team are (arguably) poor defenders. Based on the reports from the team Stefanovic(?) And wheeler played on last week, they weren't great on defense. Hunter weighs like 30 lbs. Williams weighs like 500 lbs. Cline isn't a good defender. I dont know anything about Boudreau's (?) Defense.

Will the 3 good defenders be able to make up for everyone else?

4 of your projected starters (Eastern, Cline, Eifert, Haarms) averaged around 12 combined points. None of your new guys are projected to start over your 6th-9th rotation players from last year.

I went ahead and did the work for you. Out of the returning players not named Juwan Morgan or Deron Davis (dont think he will play this season) last season they combined to have 21 games in double figures. (Green, Durham, McBob, Smith)

Fyi, there were 6 games last year where one of those 4 players scored double digits (Haarms 4, Cline 2, Nojel 1, Eifert 0).

There were 2 games last year where none of those four scored a point. You can't possibly think you will be good offensively this year.

Lol in that case 4 of your starters account for 14 ppg. We haven't even talked about the bench yet haha.

That would make more sense. Either way, I think you would agree that this team is not as talented as last years team.

PJ = Eastern (PJ better offensively and fundamentally, Eastern better defensively and rebounding)
Carsen = Carsen
Mathias > Cline
Vince >>>>>> Eifert
Haas > Haarms


Sounds familiar to someone trolling Purdue fans right now.
 
I really don’t know how people can stomach to read that free board garbage. Then again, idk how people can stomach arguing with Gil.
I don’t do it anymore. He is the most effective unintentional troll ever. First ballot HOF. Knowing what we know about him, I am more inclined now to speak up when people go over the top on the insults.

I’ll give you this, for having no idea wtf you are talking about you are at least confident based on supposed free board material. My expectations are he’ll play around 8-12 minutes per game filling in for Wheeler. He won’t be asked to do much. He’ll be fine filling in at the 4 spot.

And plain and simple, I think you are wrong. I think he will redshirt. Time will tell though.

Sht, this just means that Gillis will now come flying out of the gate and be the biggest surprise on our team. I feel better already.

Not close to the same there ,Nancy. I never compared Purdue players to IU players. I'm glad you put in that wasted effort though lol.

I'm not sure who will be better between IU and Purdue, but after looking at the stats for what both teams are losing, I believe it will be close. I believe they will each finish middle of the pack in the B1G.

Here is a breakdown of what each team is losing and returning:

IU Loses

1254/2504 (50%) pts
171/469 (37%) asts
619/1272 (49%) rebs
93/226 (41%) stl
92/154 (60%) blks
166/433 (38%) tos
441/919 (48%) made FGs
81/211 (38%) made 3pt FGs
238/455 (52%) made FT


- Combined shooting percentages of players leaving and staying (100+ min played)

Leaving:

FG%: 441/905 (49%)
3pt%: 81/287 (28%)
FT%: 238/345 (69%)

Returning:

FG%: 454/1057 (43%)
3pt%: 129/381 (34%)
FT%: 205/321 (64%)


PU Loses

1503/2760 (54%) pts
283/518 (55%) ast
420/1341 (31%) rebs
102/220 (46%) stl
16/143 (11%) blks
174/381 (46%) tos
492/967 (51%) made FGs
281/365 (77%) made 3pt FGs
238/461 (52%) made FT


- Combined shooting percentages of players leaving and staying (100+ min played)

Leaving:

FG%: 492/1182 (42%)
3pt%: 281/727 (39%)
FT%: 238/297 (80%)

Returning:

FG%: 474/957 (49%)
3pt%: 83/249 (33%)
FT%: 220/340 (65%)

Purdue losing 77% of its made 3 pt shots seems significant.

Well if he’s redshirting then you better tell Painter so he can start recruiting another forward for this season.
 
Maybe we can agree on a bet with him where if IU finishes ahead of Purdue, he gets $500, but if it goes the other way, he pays out $500 and another $500 to honor the previous bet.

When he loses again and disappears again, we can make a similar bet to whatever name he makes with an underscore in it next summer.

That was a different discussion that really was about IU vs Purdue. There were 4 to 5 posters from each side in on that discussion.

This is a random discussion about whether or not Purdue has depth at every position. They think they do. I'm not so certain. End of story.

I dont gamble, and I never made a previous bet.

holy hell, that is brutal. "you can't possibly think you will be good offensively this year" ... Purdue proceeds to finish 4th in Kenpom lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
And @NC_Trojan10 was adamant that Gillis would never be the same player again for Purdue just like BigFan is saying. Having just remembered that, I’m now 110% certain it’s him.
Because I’m pretty sure the NC in his name stood for New Castle. So he thinks he has some ultimate insight cuz Gillis is from his hometown. Ultimate loser. Skirts multiple charity bets then makes a new name.

He’s not going to redshirt because he’s literally the only backup 4 we have. I get it you’re from New Castle but Painter & staff would be actively pursuing a grad transfer forward if they didn’t think Gillis could contribute this year. I’ll trust the coaching staff over some New Castle local. Sorry.

I'm not from New Castle, so that's a weird comment. I was just piecing together the facts. He hasnt played a game since 2018. He still isnt cleared. It will take time to get back in game shape after he is cleared. Even if he weren't hurt, his ranking doesnt suggest he's an instant impact guy. Given all of that, I have a hard time believing he doesn't redshirt.

Your own fans on your home board (admittedly the free board) are in the same line of thinking.

Glad Purdue locked up Ivey when they did, he’s had a hell of a start to the AAU season.
 
Could see him make a jump like Newman did.
Yeah I don’t see what his weaknesses are really as a combo guard. Can get downhill, shoot, guard multiple spots, rebound for a guard. Not sure how his handles are I guess from the limited video I’ve seen.
