4th and 2nd in the Big Ten is something to brag about now. I just need to get it through my head that Illinois has the expectations of a mid to low tier Big Ten program. Two top 4 finishes with no postseason success is an accomplishment to some I guess.
You thought he played well? If he wasn’t Adam Miller he wouldn’t have started. I was hoping for a soph leap before the transfer but he didn’t play well last year?
I think he was better than you’re representing. He was a borderline 5 star composite 30ish. He averaged 8 ppg on 34% from 3. That’s pretty much what you should expect out of that type of player.
39% overall. His performance didn’t match the rankings. He bought into to his role late in the year until Ayo got more tixs at the BTT😂😂😂
Yeah, he couldn’t finish at the rim despite a decent build, but again, most freshman that aren’t elite struggle with that. His issue was his handlers as you alluded to.
34% from 3 was pretty bad considering he was mostly getting wide open looks.
L bro, Kofi was the superior player at the end of his sophomore season.
2nd pick, Caleb Houstan is going first now.
If he doesn’t crack 15 it’s because we are up 20+ and he’s sitting on the bench for the majority of the second half.
It's also hilarious to see an Indiana fan talking shit to anyone after the fiasco that was the Archie Miller era.
Well to be fair----he did say "who"....
Such a dumb argument, really. Who care what who has done, or has not done? I mean Indiana has been shit for quite sometime....But even then, over the past 20 years, IU has the same amount of B10 titles as Purdue....Over the past 10, Purdue has 3, IU 2. Illinois has ZERO....
You trying to make Iowa the largest producer of corn, ugly women, AND salt?
No, I think he’ll be average.
Well that’s Underwood’s inability to develop talent for you
I agree. It's water under the bridge....just like Illinois' last 15+ years is. But Hail seems intent on polluting the thread with comments about it every damn day and Trojan continues to be the IU fan that no respectable IU fan will claim.
You need to step up your trolling, game bro. IU has won more Big 10 titles in the past 8 years(2), than Illinois has in the last 15. Shit even as bad as IU has been, we have the same amount of FF's in the past 20 years(IU in 2002...Illinois in 2005).
Tell us you know nothing about Bates without telling us you know nothing about Bates.
WHo knows...He could be. Then again, he could be an absolute bust. He has surrounded himself with a solid staff....has landed some nice recruits. So who knows how it turns out. I do know he;s got some very good pieces to work with...His offense is gonna be a lot kinder on the eyes.
There’s a difference between talking sh*t and trolling every page.
Millers last two years at Indian, he went 32-27. Painter went 34-25.. Painter had a very good 3 year run with Edwards and company---83-25, 2 Big 10 titles, 3 SW 16's and an ELite 8. But since then, not so much. And before then, nothing to write home about. Pianter is a solid coach. I actually like the dude. But its not like he's consistently had Purdue among the Elite. They've been good, for sure.
Well, Painter went to 2 of 4 NCAA tournaments in that period. How many did Miller make? He went 37-35 in B1G play. Archie went 33-45.
He went when the Big Ten was weak. He also finished last in the Big Ten. The point is that Illinois finishing 4th and 2nd in the Big Ten is not impressive.
I've been hearing that argument from IU fans for 30 years. Doesn't make it right.
