Doing the impossible

I'd rather see this team get exposure to an elite team at full strength but this certainly increases the chances of pulling an upset (although I'd still expect Purdue to be an underdog). The good news is that they'll get the full quantitative benefit if they can manage to pull it out.

Never know, it may not have an impact. There may be a ranker or two like that podcast guy who posts here. 😂

College vs NBA

KentuckyBoiler
People will say that the number of 3s are a problem, but it is like that in HS and College games anymore.

The biggest thing that drives ratings are true stars, personalities, and big rivalries. The NBA is lacking those items. Also, people used to get invested with players in college and follow them to the NBA. Now, with the NIL and the Transfer Portal, that connection does not get established anymore.

You can see in the WNBA that when Clark plays the ratings shoot up, and when she doesn't they plummet. The NBA used to have people that the average fan wanted to see. NBA almost went bankrupt in the late 70s until Magic/Bird rivalry got the NBA started. Jordan took the NBA to the next level globally. You had Shaq and Kobe. LeBron brought some excitement too initially (he just needs to retire now). There just are not that types of players in the current NBA.

I wasn’t in love with the Walters hire. I defended him because I always believed that no one wanted this job once NIL ramped up. I’m still waiting on what Jeff brohm like candidates they turned down to hire offensive coordinator Walters.

The Talent got a little better, but it is not top 10! Remember at the middle summer when IU was spouting how Carlyle was a top 20 NBA talent? There is not ONE NBA talent on IU's squad, PERIOD! The same craps happens every year, the HYPE machine goes in full mode every spring and summer. Woodson is not a great coach, true, but Caryle was rated about 1100+ player in the country last year, right now he is rated 589, HPYE, Rice was suppose to be top 20 guard, rated 329 last year , this year he is up 430?? You traded Ware (1st rd) for a 5 year g league player Ballo! What TALENT????

Top 10? No. Top 25? Absolutely. Carlyle Top 20? No, I don't remember that. Must be on a part of the Internet I didn't venture. I don't know why you're telling at me, I didn't hype this team up as a national title contender.

Poor man’s? He’s making 6mil up to more than 7. Cmon.

I get not being immediately excited about it but I gave Walters a chance at least before it was painfully obvious he was in over his head.

I meant in terms of ability.

Sure he gets a chance. No one cares what posters on a free board think.

But I see what I fear coming and blame Walters. Because Walters was so bad he had to be fired now, Odom probably wins 5-6. Then revenue sharing parameters that make Purdue much more attractive to coaches will come out. But Purdue won’t get to make that better hire cause everyone will say “can’t let a guy go after one 5 win season.” Then he will go 6-6 and 5-7 and be fired.

The alternative is Walters was just bad and not horrific, got fired after next season and coaches who would laugh at us now would have actually picked up the phone next year.

Odom will be a huge improvement over Walters. So would the guy ringing people up at the gas station.

But it appears Bobinski is looking strangely like Burke as a football hiring AD

Except while Burke got his disaster last going from tiller to hope to hazell, Bobinski got his in the middle with brohm, Walters then Odom… who did great at UNLV but won’t be bringing the offensive genius with him to Purdue. It looks like we are getting a meh offensive line guy as the OC.

Not sure Odom isn’t a poor man’s Bielemas. Man, I’ve rarely looked at what Illinois had and thought “yeah, that’s better.” Woof.

i read the comments, i see where Henson is not a home run hire, we could have done better, etc etc. No one knows what will happen, from what Odom has done the last few years , i think he knows what coaches will help team get better and win.

That’s just it. Odom has been hugely successful these past two seasons in Large part to an OC who’s unique, innovative offense that will look nothing like what Odom will have at Purdue.

It comes down to this - Did we hire Odom because of the success of UNLV? If so, we’re not actually getting that guy here. Or did we hire someone with a Defensive background to hopefully build a staff and get back to 7+ wins like he did at Missouri..?

one of the coaches was talking about how its now done. The agent contacts the school and says "I can get this guy for $150K." School says "ok". Agent then goes to second school and says "I can get (same guy) for $200K". Second school says "Ok". Agent now goes to the player and says "If you enter the portal I can get you $200K", player enters the portal and joins that school without violating the player "having" an agent. And now the players are upping their demands. One of the Tejas RB wants all expenses paid for 10 people for away game travel, FSU lineman insists they write in that he will play on all third down plays.....looking more and more like the sport is done.

Sounds like something that was written into Cards contract.............?
