Yes, that surprised me. Saw he needed a great coach......badly.

I think his NIL dries up and he is in the portal.

I think a great coach can work him into form., but sounds like that might take 2-3 years of maturing mind and body under the right guy.

What would you consider a situation to deem it absolutely necessary to use the portal?

Biden had absolutely zero to do with the cease fire or hostage release. Nothing what so ever, other than the good fortune of being a body keeping the seat warm in the oval office until Jan 20.

Not a lot of effort given when he's on the court from what I saw earlier in December. He's not quite as fluid in his movement as I expected him to be either. Wasn't putting in effort on the defensive end and he basically looked just like a perimeter shooter never really saw him attempt to take somebody off of the dribble and not sure that he can. I would say that he's going to have to put in a lot more work to ever see the NBA. It's definitely an if not when from all indications that I have.

Boiler Buck said:

Looks more and more like a 4 year player. I am sure though with the right coaching, he can be very good..... eventually.

Wonder what happens if his BYU NIL $.......suddenly dries up??

Exactly. This is a great example of @typeviic swallowing the anti Israel narrative without considering all the facts. None of this would be happening if Israel wasn't attacked first and Israel has given up land on multiple occasions in the pursuit of peace.

One thing that changed is that Furst stopped trying to be cute. He’s not trying to be a three point shooter, but has embraced his role as the physical tough guy down low. It seems to me that by embracing that role he’s been able to relax and just play. He was really finishing well last night and some of those buckets that he scored were very impressive to watch.

Basketball is such a mental game. We see it with many, if not most, players at points in their career where they get in their heads for stretches. Furst seems to now be on the other side of such a (quite long) stretch and it’s not a coincidence that Purdue is rolling.

Good intel that Nelson will recommit to the Boilers within the next few days. He'll be a potential HS All-American and had 28-29 tackles in one game for Wayne last year.

Heard he's a freak athlete.

Right, it's exactly like the release of Iran embassy hostages when Reagan became president. A pathetic wimp POTUS does nothing for over a year, then when a tough-talking new sheriff takes over - boom, hostages released. Israel may need to drop a couple dozen 2,000 lb smart bombs into Gaza to get Hamas thinkin' straight.

By all accounts, Allen’s a good man, and Dabo seems to be also.

Franklin … seems like a tool.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news and the truth, but Hamas only agreed to release 33-35 of the 100 hostages as part of this truce.


Trump will have his opportunity to show the world how powerful his words are when he works his magic to gain the release of the remaining 2/3rds of the hostages!


I love how you guys form opinions after only reading the headlines and Trump’s press releases!

and no, it wasn’t Biden who negotiated the cease fire. It was the representatives from the USstate department along with representatives from Egypt and Saudi and emerates. I believe you should credit where it is due. All Biden did was announce it. And all Trump did was claim it was himself that made everything happen! When the fires finally go out in California I’m quite sure Trump will take credit for that too. He’ll probably take credit for ND winning a championship and the Dodgers signing an imported pitcher!

If we want to make America great again, shouldn’t we be sending all those imported players back to their countries and only play Major League Baseball with American players wearing jerseys and shoes made in America! And playing with balls and bats made in America too! Send all the illegal balks back. And no more teams from Canada taking all of our trophies away from us! We must demand them back. And that goes for the Grammies and Oscar’s. Only Trump’s friends can win!

I’m waiting for Trump’s second day in office! How is he going to accomplish all those things on his first day if he has that rally the night before the inauguration and then have the greatest and longest ceremony in the history of ceremonies and then have his 2,000 inaugural balls all over the world?

Trump is the man for all seasons! He is so caring! How many of you got an invite?

It was a tough decision for me. Spending my money to attend the ball, giving to Purdue’s NIL or giving to st Jude’s. A tough call.

I heard Trump’s first law he’s going to break is to raise the flag for his inauguration! So what about laws and traditions! That’s what Trump wanted, so that’s what Johnson’s going to give him.

I also look forward to seeing what campaign promise Trump actually keeps.

Now Trump wants Ramaswamy to be Ohio’s senator to replace Vance and because it’s mid term, the Ohio voters don’t even get to vote or choose!

Whatever Trump wants……. Have a nice day.

I suppose if things fell just exactly 100% perfect on matchups....maybe NC?? Long odds on that though. But agree, more likely a shot at a B10 championship is still realistically in reach.

100% agree on coach. A master of his craft.

Some of these posts by the same dopes get my blood pressing riding, at 54 with a 1 year old it’s probably high enough lol. Can you imagine if after half Painter benched TKR who finished with 19 and 6 the rest of the game? Or how about benching all the starters playing the reserves? Sure let’s play Burgess/Waddell/Berg, Harris, Heide, that would win them the game. There’s a few on here that have the takes of a spoiled 10 year old child expecting Purdue to just roll over teams every game.
