At basketball. Comparing Kopp to Trevion is moronic. By your logic we can compare Trevion to B-Westy.
We were comparing their chances of making an NBA roster. You have the same chance that Trevion and Kopp do.
 
How does he compare athletically to Anthony Edwards, Victor Oladipo, Zach Lavine, and Zion Williamson at the same age? Those are elite/top tier athletes.

Lol a list of 4 over a 10-year period? Just accept the loss and move on.

No my original post was laughing at you for comparing Kopp to Trevion because one is an all-B1G player and the other is a scrub.
 
This was your first post on this topic you fvcking moron.
And then you brought up Trevion, which I laughed at because one is actually very good at basketball and other is a scrub. You are beyond dense. Maybe if you brought up Nojel, that would have been more reasonable.

Lol you guys got all bent out of shape when I said the same about Nojel prior to his Junior year. I mean his mom posted a 6 second video of him hitting 1 3pt shot, and you guys were convinced he was going to be a good shooter.

Why tf do you argue the dumbest fvcking shit? Can you be impartial once lmfao
Can you? Purdue gets their first above average athlete in their history and your guys all think he’s on the same tier athletically as the greatest athletes of all time. He’d be probably 4th or 5th most athletic player at IU in the last decade.
 
The last sentence was weird forsure, because you don’t have to play a sport to understand it or vice versa.

But I understood the sentiment of what he was going for with stars not mattering at the end of the day.

Stars aren't the be all end all, but I guarantee you that the All-American rate for 5*s is higher than 4*s and the All-American rate for 4*s is higher than 3*s, etc.

He said who gives a sht about the Iu guys that have been part of the dumpster fire. Not sure what you’re getting at.

My point isn't even confusing. He was saying who gives a shit about rankings in general and used Indiana busts as his justification. I think that's stupid.

Lol he’s a top tier athlete you are a dumbass if you think otherwise

Oh well that clears that up lol. Just as athletic as Michael Jordan, Anthony Edwards, Zach Lavine, and Zion Williamson!!! He should be the #1 pick next year with that kind of historic athleticism!!!

I don’t disagree, though with the one and done being so prominent right now I’d bet a higher percentage of 5-stars leave before they accomplish anything at the college level.

He was specifically pointing out that Indiana’s 5-stars haven’t lead to much impact at winning.

Do you think TJD is a top tier athlete?

Since the last time Illinois made the sweet 16, IU was lead by 5 star players to 2 big ten championships and 3 sweet 16s.

I can see how you'd think that is what he was pointing out if you just read for my post on, but it's not.

NC_Trojan mentioned 5-stars going forward.
ThreeTrwuan says who cares because rankings don't matter because past IU 5 star recruit have sucked


Just because past coaches couldn't maximize 5 star talents and/or they were overrated doesn't make future 5-star IU recruits irrelevant.

Indiana won’t be getting any 5 stars in the next two classes at minimum so I’m not sure your point.

So if we are going down the line on hypotheticals, Purdue will have the same amount until 2024.

I interpreted at it being directly related to the IU 5* guys, not as a whole. Obviously the UK and Duke 5*s have led to a lot of wins and some titles.

Lol you don’t think we will land a 5* in either 2022 or 2023? 😂😂😂
 
Shoutout to the chicubs guy who is still chugging along and had one of the funnier posts on here I’ve seen in a while (the Jesse from breaking bad gif).

Unfortunately, I’m strongly considering self-immolation after reading this fvcking train wreck abortion last few pages. Lighting myself on fire just seems less painful than this thread, and if it’s good enough for Tibetan monks, it’s good enough for me…



Spoiler alert, I’m debilitatingly hungover so my brain is more unhinged than normal

Let me ask you this. If Mike Woodson is a league-average floor/x's and o's coach would you rather Mike Woodson be landing 2 and 3 stars or 4 and 5 stars?

Caleb Houstan 11 of 58 for 19% from three at FIBA.
 
I’ve seen who you are recruiting in 2022 and 2023.

Hood-Schifino is the only one close to five star status you have a chance at, and most likely he will be closer to 50 than 25.
Jeremy Fears in 2023. Xavier Booker in 2023 is about to shoot up the rankings as well.

mom sure you are about to tell us we have no chance at Fears lol.

You have no shot at Fears. Gonzaga versus Illinois, unless he decides to go the blue blood route.

Booker is your closest chance to a 5-star and he’s not anywhere close to lock to Indiana lol

Lol we will see on Fears. The recruiting/inside info coming from the Illinois guys here hasn’t been very reliable recently.

Carsen wasn’t an above average athlete? Lol

This whole shtshow started when one of the boiler guys started making fun of the past guys, including Lander who obvisouly shouldnt have been a 5*, so once again not sure what your point is.
