Big men can take longer to develop and he was a top 50 recruit. It’s not uncharacteristic for big men to make a jump between their sophomore and junior season.
Given our staffs confidence in him, it sounds like Florida’s staff may not have utilized him very well.
For free you can stop avoiding the question multiple people have asked you.
Fun piece of information: an Indiana and Illinois recruit told one of our staff members that Indiana thinks they're the best team in the conference. Shoot for the state of Indiana first.
I've answered what I think about Payne. If you need me to expound on that, buy the book.
If Indiana finishes above Illinois, I'll buy it for you.
What Indiana coach should have said to 5* recruit on visit: “We are like the 4th or 5th best team in the B1G. Michigan, Purdue, and likely Illinois will be better than us this year.”
lol you guys latch on to the dumbest sh*t.
Luckily the recruit was able to see the talent disparity with his own eyes and come to that conclusion on his own.
If Indiana finishes above Illinois, I would guess we don’t see much of you anymore. Although I guess your “brother” could start posting here under the same name.
A bit of idiocy to unpack here.
First, I've been on this name for 15+ years, and this forum for around 8, and I've never reappeared on a different name . You on the other hand cannot say the same.
Second, what is the incentive for me to invent having a brother that shares this profile with me? He posts here very seldom, and I've never once delineated his posts from mine.
An illogical conclusion to draw from that, but what would one of your posts be without one?
You’ve stated before that your brother has posted here under your name. I didn’t invent anything.
I'll have to see if the proper use of quotation marks is outlined in the Adult Beginning Reader Program.
Kids don’t like to be treated like they are dumb. Or lied to their face.
Should’ve pitched that they will take a step forward this year and he can help them become a championship contender when he gets there. Or something along those lines.
I would be pissed if Woodson doesn’t think he has the best team in the Big Ten this year. That’s a loser attitude.
I’m sure Fears was very turned off by that lol.
The one that is close to his dad does. The rest think the logical thing - we're at the top of a recruitment for a top 30 guy player, and nothing is done until his name is on the dotted line.
But let's be real, these things never play out like this. We'll take whichever one we can get, if we can get one.
So you think Fears is turned off that Woodson says he has the best team in the Big Ten this year, but not turned off by Illinois wanting another player more than him? 🤡
The staff isn’t playing it that way right now. They like Boswell that much more, currently.
Our staff thinks they can play together. But isn’t willing to take Fears, yet, because they aren’t sure Boswell thinks the same and they like him more.
Indiana is Fears’ safety net right now. He wants Illinois. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Omar Payne 6.2 fouls per 40. And now JayCG is acting like that's a good thing.
You don't like the discussion because you don't like the answer.
"I'm fine with the guy coming in and fouling for 10-15 minutes,"
Illinois fans are now counting fouling as a positive and good defense apparently.
Lol and yet you think Fears isn’t offended by that, but he is that Wooden is confident in his team?
As for your safety net speculation, that’s fine. We have a 5* PG in 2022, so missing on another in 2023 isn’t a huge.
Fears would commit to Illinois today if he actually wanted to.
Nope. I think it's a discussion that is oversimplified that I don't care to piss in the wind while explaining it to people who intentionally argue in bad faith. Speaking of which:
Was this an argument in bad faith or a failure in understanding nuance?
Omar Payne fouled 6.2 times per 40. That's worse than any player in the Big Ten. Thoughts?
100% going to regret this, but took a few min break from work to look at last year’s stats.
TW: 25.1 min / 15.5 pts / 9.1 reb / 2.3 ast / 0.6 blk / 0.7 stl / 2.4 to / 52.5% fg / 50.0% ft
ZE: 14.7 min / 8.7 pts / 4.4 reb / 0.4 ast / 1.1 blk / 0.1 stl / 1.4 to / 59.7% fg / 71.4% ft
Total: 39.8 min / 24.2 pts / 13.5 reb / 2.7 ast / 1.7 blk / 0.8 stl / 3.8 to / 54.6 % fg / 59.9% ft
KC: 27.9 min / 17.7 pts / 9.5 reb / 0.2 ast / 1.3 blk / 0.3 stl / 1.7 to / 65.4% fg / 55.3% ft
GB: 14.5 min / 5.1 pts / 2.7 reb / 0.4 ast / 0.3 blk / 0.2 stl / 0.9 to / 54.5% fg / 62.9% ft
Total: 41.5 min / 22.8 pts / 12.2 reb / 0.6 ast / 1.6 blk / 0.5 stl / 2.6 to / 62.4% fg / 56.3% ft
Purdue comes out ahead in pts, reb, ast, blk, stl, and ft%. Illini did better in TO and fg%. If we adjust to per 40, Purdue’s numbers get ever so slighlty bumped up while the Illini numbers come down.
Confident isn’t the right word, delusional is. Indiana was the worst team he’s seen by far in 3 B1G visits. Lol
Btw 4 stars on all 3 sites individual rankings.
