There are many scouts that think Okoro is overrated, but he would be exactly what we need at the 5 right now.
I cannot fathom being 6’3 and weighing 158 lol I haven’t weighed that since I was a freshman in high school and I’m only 5’10.Just found an article from March 1, 2018 where he said he was 6'3" 158lbs. I used to have a thigh that weighed more. The key being used to
He may be overrated as a freshman but he has the body/potential to be a dominant big in a few years which is why I think he’s rated so high. Really raw offensively but you can’t teach his combo of size and athleticism.
Good post. Okoro is going to be very, very good in a couple years, probably by his sophomore season after a bunch of those Oregon players leave.
Most Purdue fans I know don’t care about this ish. As Ricky Bobby says, If you aren’t first, you’re last.
Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!! Not a superstar but a very nice depth signing.
IU fans set a low bar for accolades...Sweet 16 rings, BIG regular season net cutting etc. Getting a decent team in the Top 25= yawn.
No IU fired a coach that did those things, Purdue praises it.
I know I just think it's funny when IU fans get made fun of for celebrating the only success Purdue has been able to muster under their current coach, especially when IU fired theirs. That being said looking at Purdue's roster going into next year I seriously doubt they make the top 25. If they do Painter deserves a ton of credit that's all I was saying.
From everything I've read, the glitz of the Oregon brand coupled with their style of play were what won the day. But I can't imagine Illinois talking about Purdue anchoring their centers in the post - which isn't true at all - probably didn't help Purdue's case.
Would have really liked to add Okoro from a recruiting perspective, but I'm pretty fine with Purdue not having four of their 13 scholarships tied up in true centers for at least two years.
Painter awarded Sweet 16 rings and cut down nets after a home loss? News to me. My gut says some IU fans will start a drumbeat soon to get rid of Miller. As for Purdue next year - they will be in the hunt for another B1G title. No awards necessary for getting in the Top 25 of a bunch of know nothing reporters.
I could be totally wrong - but isn't his leash at least a couple years longer with a more palatable personality?
You really have to question the glitz of the Oregon brand. It doesn’t seem to draw any decent crowd to the games and PAC basketball goes largely unnoticed by 99% of the national crowd. They can’t break 10k with a good team and a mediocre one won’t draw 5000. Sounds like fun. That said missing on Okoro is a non event. My guess is I will see him play less than 1 game the next few years.
Doubtful, at least for me. You can't miss the tourney 5 times in 9 years at IU.
Oregon was saying the same thing about Purdue.
Don't think he was going to Purdue either way. From all accounts, the pitch to Okoro from Painter left a lot to be desired.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! In the hunt for a B10 Championship? Good Lord. Pig is drunk or on drugs.
Nah..just straightening out some of the slower of your brethren. TFC.
So true. Loves to make fun of you personally but would never be willing to put his info on here.
Yeah I can’t imagine what your employer would think if they saw some of the garbage you spew on these boards. Probably not great for job security.
Couldn’t do anything, actually. I haven’t posted anything other than my opinions on with the occasional ribbing of rival fans.
Not everyone in the Okoro recruitment handled it as well as Illinois and Purdue fans:
Fvck. Everton and Horse racing. Me and steve could be friends.
