Just an on topic update - he tweeted he will have a top 5 list out this weekend.
I think it will be Purdue, MSU, Oregon, Illinois, and Kansas.

Why do these IU b&%tards keep coming on here and hijacking the threads on this board?

I often wonder the same thing. They only come here looking to stir up trouble and derail threads.No joke. I got a laugh a few pages back when one of the IU fans called Mathboy a "troll" on a Purdue board in a thread that is supposed to be about a recruit IU has not offered. Figure that one out. They are looking to start arguments.
Why are you posting about Malik Hall??? This thread is here for Purdue posters and IU trolls to bash each other.Just an on topic update - he tweeted he will have a top 5 list out this weekend.

Iu's center is Morgan right now. Smith or hunter or Anderson has to play the 4. They can't guard the 2 or3. Hell, nobody on iu's team can guard anybody, so I guess positions don't matter for them . Why are we talking iu basketball, they are going to suck again this year
Someone had to step into this dick wagging contest and show people up.Why are you posting about Malik Hall??? This thread is here for Purdue posters and IU trolls to bash each other.
Nicely done.Sir you are most welcome. I no I’ve been told on many occasions this is not a place for a parent to be on this site and I can agree to a certain extent bcuz as a parent it’s really hard to control any emotions when some say things good or bad opinions or comments about your child and try to keep your emotions in check. I’ll admit I may not have handled some of the comments in a good way but I think I’ve gotten better over time. I no I cannot respond to everything that has been said or will be said about my son and I can assure you im gonna have to dial it down to keep the peace moving forward. I mean no harm I’m a good person that loves basketball and watching my son play and I’ll admit it was an adjustment for me and my son last season him not playing as much and me not seeing him play as much. It took its toll on my son mentally and messed with his confidence why his shooting and FTs suffered. He’s a hellava kid that is great with kids of all ages and I’m a person who was approached on several occasions last season from a few on this site I met who all gave me some advice about this site but all were kind and easy to talk too that I enjoyed the conversation we shared. He’s mentally ready his confidence is back his shooting is back he’s making FTs he has put in a lot I mean a lot of work this off season to not just better himself but knowing what this team lost due to either transfer or seniors leaving he knows he must take a big step forward to be one of the players that helps this team win games. I hear the reference sophomore jump a lot on this site or in general but to me his sophomore jump is playing more than 12 min a game which adds up to more production offensively especially. I’ll end with this my son didn’t forget how to play basketball in HS whether on the AAU or Nike circuit which he played against many of the lottery picks from this past draft including Romeo he also received invitation 3 times to USA U16/17 tryouts and was a finalist For the U17 final 18 man roster spot but ultimately didn’t make the 12 man roster spot. 18 years I watched my become a mismatch problem. Teams had no answer for him when you have a player that could pass score shoot rebound defend every position put his teammates in position to score was a facilitator the team leader bcuz of his play making abilities he still is a hard player to matchup with bcuz of his size. He left Evanston as the all time leading scorer, assists and rebounding in school history. He left his legacy there in every statical category he didn’t forget how to play basketball he’s more than what many saw this past season. His time has come now he waited his turn and now he’s ready to show what he has to offer to a team that will need more production from there returning players which I believe all are ready to step up to that plate. I can’t wait for season either Purdue may be a sleeper in the beginning of the season but Purdue won’t be slept on when big 10 play begins.
Good question....why ARE you talking about IU? This thread was back on track talking about Malik Hall until you posted. And what you posted is nearly a copy of what you run around this board posting on multiple threads, trying to prove something I guess. Or get affirmation? Not sure.
Because there is no sign of intelligent life on any IU boards.Why do these IU b&%tards keep coming on here and hijacking the threads on this board?
But I like being front and center on his “list”.Man, I hate seeing MSU on this list after their 11th hour offer.
I doubt being front and center really means anything.But I like being front and center on his “list”.
I think us being there from the beginning and close to home help us.
Time for Painter to close
I’m sure Izzo fired up the tear factory (TIC).I doubt being front and center really means anything.
Not gonna lie, as an MSU fan, I was a tad surprised we made the list. Offered pretty late, but I guess we made a strong push, at least stronger than Iowa, Kansas, and others.
Interesting that this whole conversation hasn’t included Phinisee who many IU fans have said will be a starter from Day 1It's no more a reach than saying Eastern was going to be a PG prior to last season. He showed he could do it.
Worst case scenario, those guys cant play the 2, and that means Green, Durham, RP, and a freshman guard have to lock down those two spots (I would have no problem with that either). Then guys like Moore (likely gone after this year), Forrester, and Andersen dont get much PT. Fine by me, because we still have elite players that would actually be playing. If anything were to happen to one of those players, then those 3 I mentioned are very capable of stepping in (maybe not Moore). No team is going to go 11, 12, or 13 deep. There will always be 3 or 4 scholarship players that wont play very much (unless a team chooses only to go with 10 scholarship players like Purdue is this year).
The guys that I mentioned could play the 2 are not PF types. They are SF. I'm extremely confident Brooks could play the 2. Andersen isn't a great dribbler, so he would have to be paired with a PG with great ball handling skills (green or RP). Hunter is I believe the stretch to succeed at the 2, but archie insists he will try. Either way, the lineup below is lethal on paper.
Green/RP
Brooks/Durham
Hunter/Andersen
Smith/Thompson
TJD/Davis
Not included:
Freshman guard
Moore
Forrester
What you fail to acknowledge is that Phinisee would be B1G FOY and POT if not for Romeo's presence.Interesting that this whole conversation hasn’t included Phinisee who many IU fans have said will be a starter from Day 1
I think most of the Phinisee day 1 starter talk ended when Romeo committed. If Romeo didnt pick IU, RP would likely have started PG with Green at the 2.Interesting that this whole conversation hasn’t included Phinisee who many IU fans have said will be a starter from Day 1

This like 1000 times.Why are we talking about fn IU again, and not Malik Hall. I don't care about Phinise.
Or at least if you feel compelled to talk about IU, start a thread. That way when I want to read something about a Purdue prospect and click on that thread , I don't have to read about any IU players . I have zero interest in IU basketball. ZERO INTEREST!This
All of these prognostication services have hurt me before so until it's "official", I am tempering my expectations.Snow just picked Purdue! 247 is trending...now become that great Boiler!

It's kinda like dating someone who promises to put out Friday night, but only to find out they didn't mean with you.
With your username, I would lose all hope in humanity if you did.Personally, I don't know what that's like...but, I'll take your word for it, that it sucks...
