I also expect him to be better than TWill by the end of the season. But that says more about TWill imo.
His ceiling is way higher, that’s for sure.

We’ll learn a ton about TWill this season. He made some big, winning plays down the stretch last season but had a lot of ups and downs. He could take the next step and be a really good college player… or he could end up just being a guy.

Thing with Twill for me is his form does not match his percentages lol. I just do not see a 38% three point shooter when he shoots. Hope I’m wrong!

The media day stuff has me anxious for basketball to start. I love football (and think Purdue can win the west) but basketball is my first love. Looking forward to my squad breaking my heart again.
I haven'r look this forward to a basketball season since 2013. IU has the makings to be really good----but shooting will dictate just how good.
 
So Braden Smith is getting quite a bit of hype among coaches and randoms that have attended practice. It'd be interesting to see Purdue basketball with, oh you know, an actual point guard for like the first time since Lewis Jackson.

FYI He also absolutely nails the Indiana high school jock look. It's almost weird to see him in a Purdue jersey instead of wearing a HS letterman jacket and driving a 90s Pontiac Firebird.

Did not hate Painter comparing him to Payton Pritchard.

I should note: My idea of a small town Indiana HS jock has not changed in the 15 years since I graduated HS. I have no idea what the new HS jock car is.

Probably a Mustang? The new Camaro?

V6 Charger? Actually probably a Prius these days.
 

“The Big Ten has 14 teams and only three are ranked. Four, if you count No. 24 Illinois, which I don’t.”
Oh no’s some fat writer from Detroit doesn’t think Illinois should be ranked.

He had such great reasoning too
 
I’d expect a better argument for Illinois ranking not to count due to us beating Iowa and other “B1G buddies”

Especially considering our SOS is 28th currently, while Michigan’s is 112th😂

The entire article is tongue in cheek bro. Chill.
 
Carson Cooper , the lowest rated recruit we’ve taken in a very long time and a guy who was projected to redshirt, now almost certainly will not. Apparently he’s looked a lot better than the coaches suspected and it will be him/Kohler backing up Sissoko. He’s a got a smoother athleticism and moves the floor better than our main 2, but definitely is raw. Offensively not sure how much we can expect at this point.
 
BB prob wins Big Ten Coach of the Year if Illinois wins the West.

Hopefully MD can beat the hoosiers today..
Definitely a possibility. Although I could see Day or Harbaugh getting it if they are undefeated.

Rooting for a Maryland win this afternoon
 
Georgia beat Mizzou by 4, Bama beat A&M by 4, Clemson beat Wake by 6 in 2OT, USC beat Oregon St by 3, etc.

Only team without a close victory is Ohio St
Valid point, only thing I would add is Bama was without Young vs A&M...
