As a stand alone, diversity is neither good or bad, but when you search for it then you not only may miss the best, but may also miss the best minority. How can someone pretend that merit actually exists inside DEI if they understand equity?

Why Trump Needs to Drain the Swamp

If the people want an overhaul and want major changes in a few areas, and they do...how much more merit is needed than those that will accomplish such? Or should he want people to oppose his and the people's desires for major change in his picks? I know what the swamp wants and understand why. The press secretary may not be a DEI hire, but it sure checks a LOT of boxes and he never added diversity by picking another dumb one. You see when everything is Intersectionality for a party then picks start out with a DEI concern until shown different. Your party created this as a means of division...and they were successful.

Kadary Richmond is a 6-5 guard that started out at Cuse and then spent the last 3 years at Seton Hall. Was considered the best transfer in the portal and is now at St. Johns. Averaged 15.7ppg, 7rpg, 5apg. This year is averaging 10, 6 and 6. Averaged 2.2 steals last year as well. Was All Big East 1st team and lead Seton Hall to an NIT title last year.

Jaxson Robinson is a 6-7 G/F that followed Pope to Kentucky. Started at Arky then Texas A&M. Played about 30 games total his FR and SO years. Went to BYU for 2 years and played 66. Averaged 14ppg and shot 35% from 3. He was the Big 12s 6th Man last year.

The best fit would have probably been Carlyle. A quick guard that has shown he can get at it defensively on the perimeter. You can say he was a bad shooter but remember, Lance Jones shot 28% the year before coming to Purdue and shooting 35.7%. Carlyle shot 32% from 3 last year at Stanford as a freshman.

Mayo may have been an even better fit just as a scoring option and someone to take pressure of of Smith to score and handle the ball(and kinda the same for Richmond).

Who exactly has Carlyle guarded that he can “get at it defensively”? UNCG or maybe South Carolina? Maybe it was eastern Illinois or even the rally tough team of Marian?

And he IS a bad shooter. Was bad last year and has been BAD this year. He has not shown the ability to be able to take people off the bounce consistently or hit big shots in a game like Lance did.

But remember, you cherry picked ONE year where Lance shot 28% but he showed in others he was better than that and Carlyle. It’s ok to say Carlyle is not who you all thought he’d be…although we all saw it coming.

Maybe you should back off this Carlyle superman rant! This guy is shooting less than 30% from two and three. Defense??? Maybe if IU played somebody besides Pee-wee Herman and Mary had a little lamb, you could echo his defense, but he has shown practically nothing! Purdues freshman guards have been more productive than the over paid guard of IU! How much are you paying that dude?

they have a bad resume, yes but I think they belong in a 12 team playoff, that game was closer than it looked, they gave up 14 points to special teams which is correctable and the last TD was just window dressing

The rb blew through the line when iu knew a run was coming and slid down at the goal line, so the last TD was not really window dressing in terms of not being a reflection of relative strength. And OSU had at least 5 sacks. So I don't think it was closer than the score looked.

If the playoff committee really looks at strength of schedule like they said they will, iu should be left out. They can still play in the Muffler bowl, so they got that going for them.

Which would you rather?

Highly unlikely that we keep the Bucket game within 4 TDs, but wondering what everyone thinks.

Would you rather beat IU and risk that Walters would stay on for another year? It is possible that a loss to us could also keep IU out of the CFP. With our record, it should remove them from consideration with the strength of their schedule.

If we would upset IU, I could see Bobinski giving Walters consideration for another year, because we might be turning the corner in his logic. Of course, we know that would make next year a complete lost year and set our program back 2 to 3 years minimum.

So, beat IU and Walters stays or get beat by IU and Walters is gone?

I get the feeling walters will stay regardless so im going with the double win. Beating iu on the scoreboard then keeping them out of the playoffs.
