5 star McDonalds All-American multi year player is never a bad thing for a program/coach looking to stabilize itself and have an identity
I agree. I’m thinking he’s a three year player. He needs time to develop more. He’s gonna be a good multi-year player for us. Love it.
How many Mr Basketballs would it take to get Purdue a National Championship? We’ve all seen it takes more than a couple All Americans....
Yeeeeeeesh.
That’s the best comeback you have? Almost as bad as IU from distance last year.
Yeah, good thing we’ve got a better shooting team (statistically) than Purdue next year. You guys are screwed.
But think about it. Painter couldn’t get to the Final Four with two All Americans. Gotta be disheartening. I mean, even MJ18 could coach a team with two All Americans to the Final Four.
You keep saying that but Purdue’s three point shooters were just bench players and they added 3 point shooters with the recruiting class lol and what 2 all Americans are you talking about?
I think 2011 when JJ was first team and E’Twaun was 3rd team on one of the sites. The Hummel ACL year.
Congrats iu guys. I hope he leads you all to the same level of success as your most recent mr b-ball. Winking
Nah. Just comfortable knowing that if Painter can’t make a Final Four with the teams the last couple years, with Swanigan and Edwards, we’re in good shape.
First step is making it to the Final Four. Then you win the National Championship. I know you guys don’t understand that.
You think Newman and Thompson are gonna come in and dominate? Shoot a good 3pt percentage? Of course you do. You’re Purdue fans. You likely think Newman should have won Mr. Basketball.
LOL!
Were you even alive the last time Purdue made a Final Four?
Gotta suck man. I almost feel bad for you.
Team hasn’t made the tournament in 3 years yet you’re “in good shape.” Got it.
The first step for you is actually hearing your name on Selection Sunday.
Feels good knowing the best players in the state want to play for IU.
Feels good knowing TJD, a 5* player will be at IU for at least two years if not three or four. Didn’t even give Purdue a real look. Yeeesh.
You gonna throw a party for Purdue when it hits 40 years without a Final Four? 40 years is a long time. Then again, basketball has been around for over a century and you don’t have any National Championships either. Lulz.
Well according to my calculations I’ve been alive for 3 Purdue elite 8’s and 2 IU elite 8’s with zero championships from either.
This thread sucks too soon. IU has SNU(meant with respect) but Purdue has like 5 SNUs (way too ****ing many)
That’s what’s so funny. They have zero clue they are exactly like what they claim to hate. But worse, actually, they don’t win Championships.
This thread sucks too soon. IU has SNU(meant with respect) but Purdue has like 5 SNUs (way too ****ing many)
The first sentence has always been true. TJD will be a good player but how often do top 20 guys stay 3 or 4 years? Romeo didn’t give Purdue a real look either and how’d that turn out for IU?
Or you got easily triggered by a comment I made and went off on a tangent per usual.
Name the 5 SNU’s. If you say I’m like him I will block your ass quicker than you can say “Indiana”.

Love this. You’re already starting with this, huh? Do we need to talk about Swanigan? I mean his playing, not the undoubtedly shady recruiting by Roosevelt. He’s a G league guy. Top 20 guy barely a first round pick, fizzled out of the league.
You buy a Swanigan G League jersey yet?
Seems like you were extremely rustled about my comment on TJD winning. Like it’s been reported, he was the oveewhelming favorite. Not because of politics or he was an Iu signee, because he was the best player. Significantly better than Newman. Enjoy.
I’m the one that thinks TJD is a 3 (or possibly even 4) year guy? Biggie had to go after his second year with the season he had. He was never going to be a lottery guy because of his physical limitations. I’m saying I don’t think it’s realistic to think TJD would stay beyond 2 years and you took it out of context for some weird reason.
You’re already pumping Newman like he is some knock down shooter. Blaire got called to task like last week because he said he was one of the best shooters in the nation. But to clarify, Snow said he was one of the best shooters in the Midwest. But I’m sure that won’t stop @boiler1987 from calling him to be the next Steph Curry.
He is going to be a knock down shooter. That’s his game. Idk wtf my comment had to do with Newman though.
I know he was the favorite and I had no issue with him winning at all.
I took a jab because you landed Mr. Basketball last year who was a better all-around player than TJD and you didn’t make the tournament. And your jimmies then became super rustled.
You know what I see? Excuses. Don’t make excuses for Swanigan’s downgrade to the G-League.
TJD still needs to develop. He needs to put on weight, work on his right hand and extend his range. He’ll likely be at a minimum two years IMO. See, I can be honest about players going to IU. If he was going to Purdue, you’d be calling him a sure fire one and done, B10 FOY and all that. Lulz.
I was hoping you got the old yeller reference (aka I didn’t wanna block you so don’t call me SNU of Purdue) no offense @SNU0821
You posted about the percentages and bringing in a “shooters” even when IU’s returning players shot it better and our recruit, Franklin, shot it better than your “knock down shooter” last year on a much tougher schedule. Lol.
