The latter. 4 of the past 8 years we’ve lost one of our top players to season ending injuries.

2014 Mcgary
2015 Levert and Walton
2016 Levert
2021 Livers


So my wish is to avoid that. If we can the talent should be up there with anyone.
Gotcha, wasn't sure if he had something like a concerning back issue that caused him to look like a complete stiff when he runs.

Ian Martinez has a much, much higher ceiling than Jairus Hamilton, IMO. Different positions, obviously, but a net gain. Martinez is extremely athletic. Here are a couple of highlights from this past season.

Thoughts on Jahcobi Neath? Looked like he may have had one good game vs Duke.

Don't expect too much but athletically, he's a nice upgrade for us.

Yeah, probably good not to build him up too much. He has his moments, and is a decent athlete, but wouldn't envision him being a starter anytime soon.

You have been awful salty lately. Kopp is no big deal just a decent roll player. Are the free boards taking a toll on you?

Naw just bored (extra bored today recovering from surgery). Trying to stir the pot is all.

He’s basically replacing Trevor Anderson. 10-15 mpg, can handle the ball if needed. Hopefully knock down an open 3. Maybe attack the basket now and again.

I like the upside if he can develop the skills a bit.

MSU fans - Any idea what's going on with Maliq Carr?


Former Purdue wide receiver/tight end Maliq Carr transferring to Michigan State is apparently no longer a done deal.

Earlier this week it was reported that Carr would be leaving Purdue to become a Spartan and play both football and basketball at Michigan State. However, Carr is now refuting that report and posted on Twitter on Saturday that “all schools can contact me.”

I’m not sure what happened. I’ve heard he told Purdue coaches he was leaving for MSU, then entered the transfer portal and changed his mind/wanted to see other options. I’ve heard some insiders say we still feel pretty good but our chances have taken a hit. I don’t think he’s out on us, he just wants to be recruited by other schools too.

I think he initially said for other schools to not even contact him. Strange deal.
 
Sounds like it's Minnesota or Iowa for NoDak transfer Filip Rebraca. Averaged 16.8ppg/7.6rpg last season. Scored 23 points against us this past season. Had double-doubles @Gonzaga, @Nebraska and @Oregon State as a Sophomore. Would be a quality pickup for sure.

I bet he’s a gopher.

Hows that new vagina?

JK, brother...Hope all is well. I might have to have a bone marrow biopsy on the 29th. My immune system is all jacked up---For some reason, its attacking my body. Docs have no clue. Have said possibly something called Connective Tissue disease, to possibly cancer of the immune system.
 
For IU, they throw you a parade.
Probably....Except we had 3 players, Franklin(42%), Durham(38%) and Hunter(36%), that shot better than Kopp.

He(Kopp) will help. Provide depth. Hopefully he can get back to his 2019-20 self---where he shot 39% from three, and I belive led the B10 in 3 pointers made.
 


wow looks like hunter is going be garza on offense while being an all b1g defensive team player on defense too
Look he's a nice player and he'll likely make a better pro than 55 but easy on the comparisons. No one like 55. I remember one time Luka Garza took his family to Sea World. They were watching Shamu the whale when Garza got splashed. So Garza yells "I'm Luka Garza and no one gets me wet!" So he climbs in the tank, grabs Shamu, and throws the whale into the audience, splashes him, and yells "How do you like it?" And then damned if Garza didn't step in there and finish the show.

Was this before or after the second round loss?
 
No surprise but Waddell to Purdue. Think he can be really good for us in a few years. His dad was really good for us back in the day.

Purdue fans make fun of IU getting Miller Kopp and then praise the addition of Waddell. LOL
 
Should be a good experience for him to watch how the players handle the National Championship run next March.

Seems like it would have been a better idea to commit to Illinois then watch it from afar at Purdue.

We're closer to Gonzaga than Purdue is.

Starting a new job on Monday and I needed to brush up on my advanced Excel skills somehow, so I decided to practice with Big Ten basketball, lol. Figured I would dump this here for people's entertainment. This is ONLY going back to the 1980 season, as I didn't want to spend the time going further back quite yet:

Overall Winning Pctg.
1. Michigan State - .671
2. Purdue - .657
3. Illinois - .653
4. Indiana - .645
5. Ohio State - .643
6. Michigan - .641
7. Maryland - .639
8. Iowa - .606
9. Wisconsin - .599
10. Minnesota - .565
11. Nebraska - .532
12. Penn State - .501
13. Rutgers - .466
14. Northwestern - .402

Wisconsin's winning pctg. from 1980-1999 was .470, and they have gone .700 since the 2000 season. As a mirror image, Indiana was .717 during the first half of this period and only .580 since 2000. Michigan and OSU have also fluctuated quite a lot, with Michigan being .688 since the 2010 season and .519 from 2000-2009. Not that I should talk! From 2000-2009, Illinois was .735 (the best 10-year stretch in the period, as far as I can tell), and from 2010-2009 we were .532. Underwood really did take over a dumpster fire.

Conference Play Winning Pctg. (Excluded Newbies)
1. Purdue - .615
2. Michigan State - .612
3. Indiana - .587
4. Illinois - .571
5. Ohio State - .561
6. Michigan - .555
7. Wisconsin - .507
8. Iowa - .505
9. Minnesota - .427
10. Northwestern - .242

Maryland would be first since joining the conference (.621), while Nebraska (.330), Penn State (.327) and Rutgers (.280) would slide in between Minnesota and Northwestern.

Rodgers is the only one I’m truly familiar with. I’ve heard rumors he’s interested in going out of state, although I know both UM and MSU are recruiting him. In the 1 game I watched him play, he was eh, only 9 points in the state title game. Good athlete, good feel for the game, the skills are obvious. He just needs to become a more consistent shooter/decision maker and he could easily crack the top 50.
