This with Carsen leaving or staying after this year?
Painter has one great player and a bunch of flawed players. no one else on the roster absolutely deserves a starting gig.
Neither will be in nba. Cook has athleticism upside. Neither are skilled away from hoop. Really tough call. I’d go with Happ if I’d had to choose.
When Kenpom stops considering Purdue a top 15 team would be a start
Honestly, I think this is about as healthy of an outlook as I've ever seen from a fan of any team.
The only caveat is, it's not like it's not possible to become a top echelon team. Michigan State wasn't the MSU we know now until they hired Izzo. It's not like were talking about IU football, or Rutgers basketball.....Purdue is on their worst seasons...average. on their best, they can be a top 10 team.
In 2013 when IU had a #1 seed...all I could think about I know Creans going to fck this up and be the 1st team to do it.
True. Even then, with all the success that Izzo has had at MSU, he's still had two 15 losses seasons in the last 8 years and haven't made the 2nd weekend the last three years.
Personally, I don’t see what the Crossroads Classic does for Indiana. Waste of an important December Saturday that could be otherwise used on an exciting and emotional game against a decent opponent on a neutral court.
Who's saying that Butler isn't worthy of playing IU like you're insinuating? I've said, as has many others, I'm all for playing them every year! I just don't want it to be on a Saturday in December. I'd rather those handful of days to be playing a top 10 team.
If IU would be planning on replacing this game with a sub 250 nobody...then I'd rather just keep it the way it is. But, I don't believe that's the case.

The poster I quoted literally said beating Butler does nothing for Indiana and the champions classsic doesn’t move the needle.

Wait a minute....so you think with the roster you have now, minus Edwards. .you believe that team can be a top 25 next year?
Lol Purdue isnt a tournament team this year, and they certainly arent a tournament team next year when they lose Carsen and Cline.
I hope Purdue keeps painter for the next 40 years!

You're flipping nuts if you think that this roster + a couple 3*...is a top 25 team. Once you pull Edwards off of it....you're going to be a bad team.
He knows he can say that now to try and feel confident and if it doesn’t happen he can just say it again next year.
And I'm sure theres 1 person who posts here believes the earths flat. That doesn't mean that it's the consensus ofeveryone here that its flat. You know very well that the overwhelming majority of IU fans have zero issues playing Butler. The issue is the crossroads classic
If he misses the tournament a few more times consecutively I’ll bet he’s gone.
You know hes going to say that he was assuming Edwards was coming back.
Zero chance they’re a Top 25 team next year if Edwards leaves. None.
That doesn’t mean I’m not going to call out the flat earther who shits all over the forum. As a college basketball fan, this was a sweet event to watch today.
6-1 all time in the Hawkeye Classic.
Own your state. Indiana fans get it.

And then when you quote their dumb statement from the year before you’ll get shit for it because idiots hate being held accountable.
Yup saw that. Was 0-6 years old in 80’s. Don’t remember that one.
What evidence from the current underclassmen give you the feeling of a top 25 program if Edwards leaves?
I’ll stand by my prediction. Could be wrong but I’m confident I won’t be.
And when you’re wrong in a year you’ll say “oh well, we’ll be fine going forward” again.
Trevion will be a force, hopefully as soon as next season. Haarms won’t get worse, Boudreaux won’t get worse. Hunter will be a fine player once he adjusts, Sasha and wheeler have shown really nice flashes. Think Newman is instant impact type of freshman. Top 25 is ceiling for next season FWIW I think if Edwards leaves but I still like the pieces.

Well you’re just projecting based off nothing because I’ve never done that before.
