Losing him sucks, but I like this lineup:

1.Fatts
2.Ayala
3. Oonly question mark right now- could be one of the freshmen...
4.Scott
5.Q
Sorry but I like lineup with a second team all American and the B1G six man of the year (as a freshmen), a little better.

And Aaron Wiggins lol
Just logged into my FD Sportsbook account. For futures bet on NCAAB title:

Top 5
Zags
Mich
UCLA
Nova
Purdue

T-16
Illini
WVU
Mich St
Louisville

Maryland T-20

edit: Also, these have to take into account Kofi coming back. If everyone knows already that he is, there is no way in fck the sportsbooks would allow a level to be mispriced for a long period of time.

However, I see MD finishing 3-6 range in the Big Ten- glad to actually have a low post game this season...
 
No offense-MD already beat Kofi at home last season, and that was with AYO- just me, not scared facing them, like Michigan for example.

Illinois expecting a lot from Payne this season?

It’s awkward now because they put all their eggs into the h2h basket
 
Does he charge? That is kinda wild.

Same for Purdue. I wish GBI would switch to 247. There national platform seems to be much better.
Yes, former bball analyst for Illini Rivals site is an owner. Pretty much the entire board left with him.

I guess that actually isn’t that wild. If Brian from GBI were to leave, I think most of the GBI membership would move with him.

Lol sure, I’m in with Noah.
Deal.

Surprised you guys are that confident actually. I think you’ll be good, but I’d put you closer to 4th or 5th. Not top 3 without Wiggins and Morsell, IMO. Maybe Q will be that big of an upgrade at the 5, never know.

How were the odds on FanDuel? When I looked at DK, the odds were absolutely horrendous lol Purdue was like +250 to make the final 4. Who in their right mind would making that fvcking bet?
 
@gowolverines8 @NC_Trojan10

Kofi won’t be playing at Illinois next season huh?

Did they figure out a way to turn his .5 gpa into a 2.5 gpa?

I wouldn’t bet any money on Purdue making a final four.

Preseason odds are so bad. Like, even if Purdue was a one seed +250 would be about fair to pick a 1 seed to the final four. So much can happen between now and then to give them a lower seed.

And not just purdue, pretty much any team outside of Gonzaga would be a bad bet at that right now.

Exactly. I couldn’t believe just how bad they were though. Even +450 would be egregious IMO. I’ve never been a big futures guy but damn NCAAB seems to be especially bad before the season.
 
Deal.

It’s an avatar bet? I’m not confident at all, it means nothing, I change my avatar like every 3 months.

Futures bets always fck you when betting so far in advance on teams that are clearly expected to be good. The dislocations are on surprise teams (aka bet on Bama last year months in advance). However, even if you take advantage of a dislocation, it only pays out if the team actually wins obviously. Right now on FD:

Zags +700
Mich +950
UCLA +1100
Nova +1200
Purdue +1300
.
.
.
Illini +2500
.
.
Maryland +3000

All these levels suck in general when thinking about how hard it actually is to win the ‘ship in a one and done tourney.

Edit: In the NE, the only state where sports bets are available is NJ (NY and CT legal finally, but nothing is up and running yet). I was in Jersey City this pst weekend for a wedding and took the opportunity to place a ridiculous number of bets on NBA finals, British Open, NCAAB (despite the sht levels), and NCAAF. Long story short, this is how bad Purdue is in football. I got Purdue B1G championship at +10,000, despite the fact that the levels are optimistic in general for every team. Wasted $100 on it.

Yeah those numbers are just bananas to me. Granted the only future bets I do are in PGA basically but I just can’t imagine letting a sportsbook hold my money all year long for a 7x payout if my bet hits lol

I get it in the NBA or MLB where there are a handful of teams with an obvious advantage and they play a best of whatever series. Just crazy to me with the unknowns of college b-ball and a single elimination tournament. God what horrible odds.

See my edit above. I got +10,000 on Purdue for football conference championship, but that level still sucks. The odds that Aidan or Plummer turns into Brees, the o-line tranforms into M Light and crew, and the d-line (fine Karlaftis is good) becomes Colvin, K Short, S Phillips type guys is a lot lot worse than 100:1.

Lmao I hope that works out! but I’m almost as pessimistic about Purdue football this year as I was before Brohm arrived. (Not quite, but still really pessimistic)
