Don’t forget joe for prez and proudopete (even though both don’t come around much).
I’m not going to get into this. Someone pointed out Newman took like 70 more threes or something like that in the season and their percentages were essentially the same.
Agreed. My buddy lives in that area, has a kid that will be at CG in a couple years. He’s watched TJD for a while now. I just am tampering my expectations. He’s gonna need some time. Hell, if he doesn’t, then that’s likely good news for IU!
Franklin shot it better in a much tougher conference. Whatever makes you feel better man. I’m not the one who tries to take shots at IU’s shooting when it’s a fact, we have statistically better shooters. Doesn’t mean much for next year, but acting like Purdue will shoot night and day better than IU is silly. If I had to guess, neither team is gonna be great behind the arc.
If some iu fan on the innerwebz says he’s a terrible shooter, then he’s a terrible shooter imo. Be lucky to hit 20% from deep this year
I don’t think he’s terrible by any means. I just don’t expect him to come in and shoot over 40% on high volume as a freshman. Stuff like that doesn’t happen all the time, even for really good shooters.
Just givin ya shit mayne. Totally agree. I’m beyond thrilled we landed Newman tho, he’s gonna be a good one.
Oh yeah. I know. Newman, like Franklin and Phinisee, are all gonna be really tough four year guys. I said it before either signed, I would take either and be happy. And I still feel that way. I’d feel the same if Newman were at IU and Franklin were at Purdue, too.
Idk how iu will shoot I really don’t but I’ll be surprised when Painter has a team that doesn’t shoot well, it’s what he is/ has been recruiting towards.
That’s fine. But nothing suggests, right now, you guys will be a really good shooting team next year. I expect solid, but as it stands right now, without seeing much from anyone you have coming back that will likely shoot a lot of threes, it’s hard to say otherwise. What’s wrong with that (other than its me saying it)?
I mean what coach doesn’t recruit towards this?
Had Purdue gotten Franklin instead of Newman what would you say Painter was recruiting for? Do you say this only because he took a chance on a 200+ kid who is a solid shooter in Sasha? Otherwise he has gotten good in-state guards.
I can guarantee you that @boiler1987 would be calling Franklin the better shooter considering he had a higher percentage. That much is certain if Purdue got Franklin and not Newman.
A lot of coaches actually. I think Franklin will be a fine shooter in college. And no I say that because he’s literally emphasized the importance of recruiting shooters while also offering guys like Mathias, Cline, Sasha when the rest of the big ten wasn’t. I don’t think that’s a coincidence.
Looking at the 2017, 2018, 2019 classes how many of those kids do you consider “shooters” coming out of high school?
Yes but we will disagree so it isn’t all that important. I see Sasha and Newman, who need still need to prove it at this level. Otherwise Purdue has CG who were scorers in high school that don’t always translate right away like Eric Hunter.
I would say viewed as shooters:
2017: Sasha/Wheeler
2018: Hunter
2019: Newman, Thompson, Gillis
And with this we will just go ahead to agree to disagree on this topic
He shot 43% in high school from 3, just because he’s hurt doesn’t change that fact especially for a 4.
Looks like he shot it very well his junior year high school season, would be interested in his shooting in AAU against college talent. I’m not going to throw him into that shooter category until the kid plays again, so I guess we will see.
If I knew where to look that up I would but Painter recruited him to be a versatile 4 in the mold of Vince Edwards or Robbie Hummel regardless. I’m not saying he’s going to have the same career as those two (hope he does obviously) but still he was still recruited as an inside-outside do it all type forward.
Archie already took a consensus top 10 HS player and proceeded to miss the tournament, and completely ruin the draft stock of what many thought was a sure fire lottery pick. Romeo absolutely will not be drafted in the lottery anymore. Probably not even the first round. If tjd stays 3 or 4 years without getting drafted like snu says, I'll actually be very happy. It will show what an awful coach archie is for those who haven't already noticed, and ruin any chances they will have with other 5 stars.
Since when are expectations for a 5* MCD guy 2-3 years? 1-2 is the norm unless he isn’t as good as people actually think. I mean, even Swanigan with his limited athleticism was a 2 yr guy.
Nah. I’d actually say the opposite considering how triggered you were by my TJD post. Lol. I mean, it must suck not to even get a serious look from two in 5* Mr Basketballs. Well, actually, you haven’t gotten a sniff from three 5* instate guys and a high 4* guy in the last
two years.
But, but, but.....Newman is a shooter!
That's some high-end Microsoft Paint graphic design.
That’s just my guess. Plenty of 5* guys stay 2+ years. I’m not saying those are his expectations, as I would assume they aren’t. IMO, it has more to do with further development than just raw talent. He doesn’t have a strong off hand and needs to extend his range. It doesn’t have a thing to do with not as good or he wouldn’t be ranked as high. It has more to do with development.
Iu has been a very consistent program lately. Consistently pull in the highest rated recruits, and consistently finish at the bottom of the standings.
Yup. I get it. You had a great year. Now you’ve turned into Gil (you weren’t far off).
But, you were awful triggered by my post. Clearly struck a nerve. Lulz. I’d be bummed too if my coach couldn’t even get a look from instate 5* players.
By the way, gotta suck not making the Final Four in almost forty years. Close but no cigar. But then again, Newman and Gillis are shooters, so you’ll be good.
