I honestly don’t know so I’m just going to assume the worst. Huerter tested really well and skipped the last day of the combine. Is that good or bad? I don’t know, I’m just going to assume a GM told Kevin this...
Lol. You’re seriously one of the worst Purdue posters on GBI, which is saying something. You did get run off here. You’re posts are trash and your hot takes on basketball are delusional at best. Just like last year. How did your take on IU go? How’d that work out for ya? Lulz. Please post here more often. It’s great entertainment for the rest of us.
As for Archie, well, he swooped in and got Romeo out of Indiana in a short period of time. Romeo had zero interest in Purdue. Why I wonder? He also got Phinese out of your backyard. He also got Anderson which Purdue fans were really hoping to get. As it stands right now, we’re in a better spot to land TJD and in a better position with Brooks than Purdue. I’m sure he’s going to just be ok, right? He’s got a top ten recruiting class. Where is Purdue’s? Lol.

So I think this is a pretty good jumping off point for something I was thinking about the other day. I'd be interested to see how fans view their coach compared to other conference coaches.
I would put them into three overly simplistic categories - (1) I'd trade for that guy; (2) they're basically even, no reason to switch; (3) I'm not trading for that guy. These can obviously be fluid year-to-year and include things such as age of the coach, the relative success of the program historically, the coach's success at their current program, and historical success as a coach elsewhere.
For Painter in 2018-19:
I'd trade for that guy:
Beilein - Michigan
Izzo - Michigan State
(although age makes both of these tougher)
Basically Even, no reason to switch
Holtmann - Ohio State
Gard - Wisconsin
Miller - IU
I'm not trading for that guy:
Turgeon - Maryland
McCaffery - Iowa
Pitino - Minnesota
Collins - Northwestern
Underwood - Illinois
Pikeli - Rutgers
Chambers - Penn State
Miles - Nebraska

One good thing about being a Minnesota fan, is that we don't have to worry about NBA early entries.
For two years recently now, an instate highly ranked guy that MSU has been after forever and had a great relationship with went to some random school under shady conditions, Brian Bowen being caught already.
If MSU really is cheating, we are doing a pretty crappy job at it. We just lost a highly ranked recruit to DePaul.

So when MSU loses a recruit to Kansas it's shady,
and when they lose a recruit to Purdue it's shady,
and when they lose a recruit to DePaul it's shady..
Who does MSU lose a recruit to that isn't shady?
Asking for all my friends.

Mostly everyone. I think most MSU fans agree that Swanigan at this point was clean.
Kansas was shady because Kansas is shady. Most people agree the Josh Jackson recruitment was shady. And this one DePaul’s coach is under investigation, so by definition, it’s shady. Dumb point.
I’m not accusing DePaul of cheating, just pointing out to all the idiots that still think MSU cheats.
3 posts in a row.
Somebody has to fill the massive posting void left behind by Gil.
If I only knew all the crucial stats of weems, maybe then I could make a rational judgment just how good he can be.
Well clearly as you can tell he was named the MVP of some random 3 on 3 tournament I’ve never heard of and was really good at some small AAU program, yet he’s dropping.
Clearly these ranking are against Iowa.
Bo and Beilein are a wash.
Bo had a better floor than Beilein. Bo came in and did not miss the NCAA in two of his first three seasons like Beilein.
On the other hand, if Beilein had the same luck with player retention as Bo with guys sticking around four years then he probably has 4-5 Final Fours under his belt at Michigan.
Both are probably top 8-12 in the last decade or so.
Fixed it for you but he may not be too far off. Especially in a couple more years. The top of the league coaches are old and not sure how long they will be around. Miller could be around for a very long time.
Not that he's the best in the league but I don't know that I would trade coaches either. I'm talking actual firing/hiring process taking place not another realm where Izzo took over after Knight/Davis/Sampson etc. Miller early on seems to be one of the few coaches in the B1G that has the capability to recruit at a high level along with coaching. To me Ward/Painter, maybe a few others but not to their extent are great coaches but not necessarily recruit at a high level. Beilein is in that group but has had some success recruiting. Turg to me is a Tom Crean who isn't weird, Izzo obviously is a guy that can do both, the rest are kinda pedestrian but good enough to field a quality team here and there. Miller to me is the next head of the conference, shocker eh? In a list I'd probably put him behind izzo, beilein and painter as of now, just ahead of ward. Those 3 in the past 5 years or so have kinda proved themselves in the league.
Some rumors about some sort of sexual misconduct but nothing official. No one seems to know.
You just watched what John Beilein did last season and with a straight face would tell me you'd rather have Archie Miller next season?
I think Miller has a bigger upside than Beilein, and many more years remaining as a coach. Thus far, in year one of recruiting as IU's coach, Miller has 2 top 50 recruits and owned the state of Indiana with Romeo, Phinisee and Anderson in 2018. It also strongly appears that 2019 promises to be a great recruiting class for IU. Miller proved that he can coachemup at Dayton. We will see what happens.
I'll bet a healthy sum of money Miller never goes to two title games in a six year window.
Archie has a hell of an upside and is recruiting extremely well so far. Beilein is clearly a great coach, but he is already 65 years old, who knows how much longer he will be coaching. Miller is only 39 and was considered a top coaching prospect coming out of Dayton, I think he will do big things. As of right now however, Beilein has already proven to be a great coach while Archie is still up and coming.
Thought I saw the dumbest username in history a while back on the Purdue board when someone posted under "Profile." But "willpueverplayinapril" might provide some stiff competition. Post reads very similar to the jabroni "TopSet80" or "TopSet81" or "TopSet82" or "TopSet83" on the free board. Welcome!
