Now see, you can't go and use things like facts on karenfish. He doesn't like those very much and will only change the goalposts.With all due respect, Morton was the 2019-20 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Pennsylvania. If he's healthy he'll be just fine.
Sir, just reporting what I read. Let's hope it's accurate.with all due respect, isn't that what was said about Morton?
Which just goes to show you that high school rankings and accolades really don't mean much other than hype at this level.With all due respect, Morton was the 2019-20 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Pennsylvania. If he's healthy he'll be just fine.
I haven't said anything about Morton other than he didn't perform up to expectations this year (yeh, I know he had mono......)Now see, you can't go and use things like facts on karenfish. He doesn't like those very much and will only change the goalposts.

That being said, I really like Braden Smith and despite what some IU fans think would have welcomed him in Bloomington. He plays with an edge and gives 110% every time. Reminds me a ton of Jordan Hulls...with a little more athleticism. Might not be as pure of a shooter, but definitely has game.
I would love nothing more than for Smith to be a contributor on a FF and NC team.Sir, just reporting what I read. Let's hope it's accurate.
I am sure you weren't excited about Edey either. Painter saw something in Smith and I guarantee he has forgotten more about evaluating talent you will ever know. That is a fact.I would love nothing more than for Smith to be a contributor on a FF and NC team.
The pickup just doesn't get me too excited.

You compared him to Matt ten Dam. You said he was another big white stiff.Actually, I was excited about Edey because of his hockey and bball background. I like multisport athletes, especially bigs. He wasn't a complete stiff in the recruiting videos I watched so I thought he'd be able to contribute.

Revisionist history much?
He conveniently forgets all those things, but the rest of us don't.You compared him to Matt ten Dam. You said he was another big white stiff.

Especially since he has a high basketball IQ!!!Well if you know basketball and you've noticed the glaring absence of a quarterback type pg on the Boiler team, then you can get pretty darn excited about Smith coming to town.
What do you mean by a QB PG on the team? We have PGs, they're just not that solid.Well if you know basketball and you've noticed the glaring absence of a quarterback type pg on the Boiler team, then you can get pretty darn excited about Smith coming to town.
As if we needed anymore evidence at how little you know, this just adds to it.What do you mean by a QB PG on the team? We have PGs, they're just not that solid.

Let's hope and pray that he's better than Hulls.Which just goes to show you that high school rankings and accolades really don't mean much other than hype at this level.

If he's halfway as good as Hulls you will have gotten a good one.Let's hope and pray that he's better than Hulls.
Jordon Hulls....one of the most over-rated players ever at IU. Nice kid...so-so player who's made a decent living playing in obscure leagues in Europe. His sister and grandpa were both better.If he's halfway as good as Hulls you will have gotten a good one.
He's a career 45% 3 point shooter, those don't grow on trees. At least spell his name right.Jordon Hulls....one of the most over-rated players ever at IU. Nice kid...so-so player who's made a decent living playing in obscure leagues in Europe. His sister and grandpa were both better.

Hell,I hated the guy but would have loved him at Purdue.Dude stop. He was a solid player for them who Painter clearly wanted.
NOPEWhat do you mean by a QB PG on the team? We have PGs, they're just not that solid.
What we need is someone who can score at all 3 levels, get their own shot, break down the D, penetrate and finish. You don't need to designate him as a PG, be he needs to be able to score, not just dump the ball into the post.
How about we only recruit and play all 5 starters who can "get their own shot, break down the D, penetrate and finish"? We don't need guys to defend, guys who can pass, guys who can rebound, or a big who can score in the post. That's what you want, right? Let's just play 5 guards in the mould of your vision.What do you mean by a QB PG on the team? We have PGs, they're just not that solid.

Root for Iowa then. Seems to work great for them in the tourney.As far as defending, I'll always trade offense for defense. Every time.

Baylor had two bigs that didn't attempt a 3 point shot all year and probably didn't leave the paint. Thamba was 6'10", played 15 MPG, and scored 3 PPG. Tchatchoua was 6'8", played 20 MPG, and scored about 7 PPG. They seemed to be successful with those two guys.I wouldn't mind some 4G and a 6'9 forward lineup if all those guys can score. i'm not convinced that a 7 ft low post player is a key ingredient to success unless that guy can also play the pick n pop, shoot from outside, etc.

Spreading the floor and creating space for guys to create seems to work pretty well.
Not a fan of Iowa. Soft.Root for Iowa then. Seems to work great for them in the tourney.
Baylor had 3 guards who averaged between 14-17 pts/game. That's the formula I'm talking about.Baylor had two bigs that didn't attempt a 3 point shot all year and probably didn't leave the paint.

Gonzaga had Timme at 6'10". He attempted less than 1 three pointer a game and shot less than 30% at it. He may have been good at the pick and pop, as you say, but he wasn't an outside shooter.
Do you even look at what other successful programs do before you post this shit?
But didn't you just say success required a big who could also shoot from the outside? Or are you changing your statement now, kinda like you always do?Baylor had 3 guards who averaged between 14-17 pts/game. That's the formula I'm talking about.
5 Ronnie Johnsons. That's the ticket.How about we only recruit and play all 5 starters who can "get their own shot, break down the D, penetrate and finish"?

V 1 basket.....I might take the basket in that game5 Ronnie Johnsons. That's the ticket.
And there's those silly moveable goalposts again.But didn't you just say success required a big who could also shoot from the outside? Or are you changing your statement now, kinda like you always do?
