Actually, I think he's Poulter's godfather and was Billie Jean King's husband before she realized she didn't like men.

And then some idiot said losing Sasha wouldn’t have much of an impact. Some of the takes on KC are just so bad.
I think his NBA role is a poor man's Jalen Brunson. Absolute killers in college, but guys that need to be steady, floor spacing PGs that primarily defer to stars in the NBA.
Pretty sure Indiana's entire team has a boot sponsorship.
i been around here for a decade though so I think I get a pass from the woodwork fans
Weren’t you the one who made that awful prediction about Purdue relative to Illinois a few years ago?
And Indiana. Their future under Groce looked better.
got to put in a word on Iowa 1st game on Friday
here is what I going to be watching for
can they or will they play as a team
or will there be a lone wolf and do it all by himself
Iowa will have the height advantage now will they take advantage of that
Fredrick went 4-4 from 3 and 6-7 scoring 18 points, will he be as relaxed or will he tense up once the lights come on for real.
how much playing time will Jordan get,
its not the scoring as its more about TO's as they committed just 7 even with all the substitutions and ending the last 7-9 minutes with 3 walk ons,

I forgot about that. I do remember there being some NIU talk a couple years back as well.
Like most posters on this board i don’t think I’ve ever had a reason to talk about Purdue in my life.
it does sound like something I might do though

doesn't seem like Rivals and ESPN agree with you on the bunch of 3* players,
That is very surprising and really good news for the future depth of Purdue. More surprised with Newman than Gillis.
How serious for Sasha?
Unclear on Sasha. I have to imagine that if Newman is redshirting, it can’t be that bad. But that’s pure speculation.
Gonna be interesting to see this play out, as I saw a bunch of question marks but if those two are redshirting Painter must feel good about multiple guys. I would think at least.
Newman really surprises me. I'm very pleased with Armann's maturity and ability so far. I was a guy who leaned Newman but happy to have AF now. At least right now this moment in time...
100% agree here. Wouldn't have been mad with either, but have really like what I have seen and read about Franklin at this time.
Sasha and Wheeler redshirted and they seem to both be hitting a decent stride as RS Sophs. They both played pretty well last year as RS Frosh as well. I don’t think it means Newman isn’t ready. He just has too much experience and depth in front of him.
Wow! I had no clue. Are you new around here? You should post more often. So much useful information.
When the program is established this is the way to do things. Painter has a well established program at this time. Its nice when you do not have to depend on freshman. I am hoping for that exact feeling starting next year and beyond.
This. Its not his points, shooting, assists, etc, etc...Its HOW he plays. Has the demeanor of a junior. Doesn't try and do things he's not capable of. He's pretty good at what he can do. Just solid. Very happy with how he looked.
Good post. Why waste a year, playing a kid of his talent(and he is talented), spot minutes? Let him practice, learn the system, w/o the frustration of only playing 2-3 minutes. If something goes wrong---take away the RS. IMO, a good move by Painter.
I’m shocked that he’s far enough behind our other guys that he’s redshirting. Apparently those guys have developed well.
But a class of Morton Ivey Newman Gillis isn’t bad.
how many of you would want a guard benched after his 1st game when he did this
11 assists, 3 steals, 3 TO's going 1-1 from 3. just because someone thinks he's a lousy PG and claims he is a square peg being put into a round hole?

then don't state such BS about a teams players, or in your case don't be such a ass.
It was nice adding Hunter to TJD and Franklin, of course that was under different circumstances.
the post entry stuff is an early concern. as is nojel and sasha's health.
like the way hunter is playing.
Yep, missed a lot of open shots, but OK with that as long they are generating good looks. However, the TOs on the post entry are unacceptable.
It's not particularly surprising it's an issue. We struggled with this with Hammons/Biggie/Haas a bit as well until we got old. We gotta figure something out there though, we're not even really getting good passing lanes to the post in general.
Proctor looks like a guy that’ll be a nice contributor. Seems to always be in good position on D and seems to be a nice contributor offensively. Haarms is going to have a big year. Trevion is going to have to bring more energy coming off the bench and assert himself. He was terrible in transition D.
I. Thompson isn’t afraid to let it fly & I like it. Obvious already he’s a better athlete than PJ was. Wheeler looks springy, excited to watch him play this season, so glad he’s only a sophomore. Hunter looked really good, playing with a lot more confidence. Ball movement looks good, just need more crisp passing.
I thought Purdue was going to have decent bench depth this season but with Gillis & Newman redshirting, that depth takes a big hit.
Defense looks really good, expect that to be a big strength this season.
