There would be no posts in this thread if a Purdue poster didn’t start an IU troll post.
Regardless of his high school rating back when he was in school, Duncomb has not connected or truly joined with any of the teams he has played with in college. What is it? 2 or 3? Not every high school player lives up to his rating. Is Dunscomb‘s rating really accurate and still applicable as an accurate measure of his capabilities? I doubt it.
Every time you post you show how little you know about IU, IU’s recruits, and basketball in general. Duncomb has been on his high school team since he was a sophomore. He won a state championship as a sophomore, and likely would have done the same as a Junior as they were undefeated. He will likely do the same this year, so get out of here with the BS that he isn’t a team player. How many of your current players left their high school teams late in their high school careers to join prep schools?
Agree that they are so annoying. Try it. "Ignore". You'll like it.
You said Furst would play a lot. Wheeler is averaging 13 minutes a game in his last four games. That’s not a lot.
I said Furst and Kaufman would combine for all of the minutes at the 4. If Furst plays 13 minutes then Kaufman is playing 27.
That’s an opinion. Furst is ranked 7 spots higher than Duncomb according to the most reputable recruiting site. ESPN is a known joke, and Rivals lost all of their relevant national recruiting analysts (Corey Evans and Bossi). 247 is now the only reputable site.
You brought up composite rankings. Furst much higher ranked in those. 54 to 81. Not close.
Crean had similar results to Painter through 9 years even though Painter is a Keady clone and Crean had to implement a new system. As has been discussed here, Painter would have been fired after finishing dead last at IU in year 9. The same can be said if he were to miss the tournament in years 15 and 16.
Crean didn’t have similar results to Painter. When Painter didn’t win the Bigten, his teams still finished top 3 in the league. Crean didn’t have that kind of performance. His teams were either hit or miss and mostly miss. How many bad takes are you planning on dropping here?
This is exactly why them come here. They want basketball knowledge they can't get on their own board. Thanks for helping them😉
1st 9 years:
Painter took over from his mentor. He didn’t have to implement a new system. Crean had recruiting restrictions and was started from the ground up.
Crean had five losing seasons in that 9 year span while Painter only had two where he didn’t finish top 3 in the league.
Painter only finished top 3 4 times in his first 9 years including 3 missed tournaments. He finished dead last in year 9 and couldn’t make the tournament in year 8. He would have never lasted at IU (not that he would have gotten the job in the first place).
Phinesee may not see the tournament during his 4 years or beat Purdue.
Painter is more like Knight than anyone IU has has since Knight. They run a lot of the same things and Painter modeled a lot from him. I’d hate to see Painter at IU because I think he’d be very successful there. I’m very happy to have Painter at Purdue and hope he retires at Purdue.
We all know overall records mean nothing when teams play cupcakes. Up until this year iu had one of the easiest schedules pre big ten.
If we are looking at records, what about head to head records. IU fans just cherry pick.

You stated Painter only finished outside the top 3 twice in his first 9 seasons. That’s inaccurate. He would have never made it passed year 9 at IU, so years 10-13 are irrelevant to the conversation...
I never attended IU? Dang, I’ve been lying on my linked in profile... 😏.
