I don’t remember making a comment on Sasha. I did say Nojel would be a poor player this year, so I was right there. I also thought Aaron Wheeler would be good this year. Clearly I was wrong there.
@boilerzz threw out Franklin’s conference stats so I threw out IT’s. Plus it’s the same level of competition anyway. Anyone at that level can dominate Sam mcneese st.
Christ I blame myself for getting involved in shit posting like this.
I mean he hasn’t been great offensively but he’ll probably still make the all-defense team.
Purdue at 4th SOS and Indiana at 6th i believe on espn. Not sure it matters much but i'll refer to my post above.
Coming from CNN I wouldn't put too much stock into it.
He’s been trash offensively. You guys were all hyping him up in the pre season because his mom said he had been working on his shooting (clearly he hadn’t). I hope he doesn’t transfer in the off season.
You think we hyped him up because of what his mom said on the free board? Hahaha
There have been a fair number of national people questioning the SOS shared by the NET. Apparently they are using RPI SOS which makes no sense as it was a terrible metric. I know Parrish and Norlander have largely ignored it and are using KenPom.
Good thing only Kenpom is used to determine tourney teams. You guys should be a lock.
Clearly as there was nothing else to suggest he was even going to be a mediocre offensive player. He hasn’t improved a bit on the offensive end since he got to Purdue. He will be a lottery pick though...
Anyone who bought into his shooting being even bad as opposed to putrid was foolish.
I did not expect him to forget how to attack and finish though. Why a 6'6 225 lb dude is throwing up floaters is beyond me.
My wife is a nurse in the Seattle area, this is not fake news. Right now, we still won't really know the extent of damage this can do in the US for another 30-90 days because of the long incubation period before symptoms are shown.
It’s the metric used on the official NCAA team sheets, so it’s the metric I’ll use...
Note: It’s also the metric that fits my narrative
The virus isn't fake news. Talking about March Madness not having fans is fake news.
If Iowa gets to Omaha or St Louis, or the FF, I don't care if the whole crowd has AIDS and are bleeding all over the place, I will be there.
You won't need to worry about the FF.
Agreed. IT seems like a good player. I'm happy with Franklin and his contributions this year. I thought it was just funny seeing @boilerzz trying to make himself feel better about Newman not being ready by dogging Franklin who's helped us win games this year. I'm pretty positive that if Newman could have helped this year, you guys would have welcomed it considering the results we've seen so far.
It’s a balance thing though. Newman’s shooting alone could have helped this year when the offense gets stagnant as shit, but at what cost? Ryan Cline helped Purdue win a couple games his freshman year (the @Pitt game stands out to me) but Painter’s always said he regrets not redshirting him.
For sure. The shit posting just turned into a snowball and collected innocent bystanders on the way down.
Can't say I have a good feeling about the Iowa game tonight. Purdue just isn't as good at shooting wide open threes on the road as they are at home.

I see IU and PU fans are already in peak off-season form. Can we wait a month?
