Remind me again what people are upset about with Trump?

An insurrection? Was the US government overthrown? Did the gaggle of rag-a-muffins dispose Biden as president?

I've lived threw a real insurrection. I was stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines, when President Ferdinand Marcos was run out of the country. A mob stormed his palace in Manila, Marcos and his family flew a USAF chopper to CAB, and from there they were flown on a USAF C-141 to Anderson AFB in Guam. Marcos never returned to the Philippines. That was an insurrection. What happened on Jan 6th was a complete mission failure by the cowardly Capitol Police.

An attempted insurrection. Went in that building to take it over, and hang the VP and Speaker of the House.

Like many things Trump, their plan was planning was crappy and the thing was a train wreck. And a clown show.

Thats my worry with Cluff, he is a little slow, I do actually think by the middle of BT season DJ and Burgess will be taking some minutes away from Cluff because they are better athletes on the defense side of the ball. Painter has a lot of depth at the 4 and 5.

I won't argue with the Cluff losing minutes statement, but depth at the 4 and 5 is just ok. Our real depth is at the 2/3, with Loyer, Cox, Harris, Omer, Benter, West, and Liam all fighting for 80 minutes available. That's only 11 minutes of playing time per player, and we know Loyer is playing more than 11.

Compare that to the front court where you have 4 players splitting 80 minutes and it's really not that deep, more of just right as long as we don't have any injuries. I suppose Benter or Liam could play spot 4 minutes in a small lineup, but with the frontcourt we have I don't see that being likely.

I get it, you and your ilk hate people who weren't born here. People try to come to the US to make a better life for their families. You and I were lucky and were born here. People don't want to come here now, because we're veering into authoritarianism. Note that a vast majority of migrants are willing to work, pay taxes, and generally contribute to society.

Are you saying you support entry for anybody who shows up at the border, circumventing the existing legal processed as established by the US Congress?

YES, please guys.

Another thread that turns to a damn IU discussion. Just ignore the jackass and he will go away. If he doesn't he will just be having discussions with himself and it won't ruin every thread on here. Quit falling for the bait. His objective is to turn every thread into IU discussion, don't fall for it.

I have hopes for Cluff, but you can't teach 7'4" AND good timing and instincts on blocking shots. Cluff might even be a "better" (at this point) all around center BUT it's hard to define the value of a true rim protector. (it's high though)
Especially on team where the guards aren't world class quick and getting beat off the dribble has been a concern for 3 seasons now.
I'd be fine with Cluff proving to be the better all around and taking prime minutes.
But I don't think for more than a second that it's going to happen. That big D just gonna be TOO valuable.

Is it right? No but everyone else in the country does it too. NIL has made the portal the Wild Wild West!
Not trying to argue with you but…
“voted as a favorite to reach the CFP”
“Dan Mullen have recruited a roster that is stacked”
Mullens transfer portal class is ranked #60+ with his high school class #90+. Seems like a bit of stretch after loosing your coaching staff and the majority of your key players from last years team.

He's really looking for anything to justify the only coach to make their football program relevant in the last 50 years leaving for a better program with more money Ina. Better conference.

Loyer has played because he has an elite impact on offense and rarely misses assignment of defense. All conference level skill.

It will be a big ask for any of the first or second year players to take minutes from him, but who knows, maybe one or more of those guys are ready to be stars.

We have been blessed to have Fletch at Purdue, he has won a ton of games for us. As far as minutes, I find most the banter here kinda of a waste of time, but we know for a fact Braden is going to be on the court, so his minutes are kinda of know, minute distriputation is going to base on strength of schedule mainly. Is pre-conference schedule going to be a little softer and the BT conference schedule is it going to a very TOP headed monster this year? I see 3 or 4 very good BT teams, 4 or 5 more who should dance, 2 or 3 who are BUBBLE and 4 to 6 who should be in the MAC. Purdue is a better team than last year, more scoring options, more aggressive on defense, deeper at each spot. So Braden is still going to get his 30+, but Loyer, TKR at 25+, with DJ, Cox, Harris, Mayer, Cluff all around 20, Murphy, Benter and West sharing 10! The one guy who could really change the minutes for everyone except Braden, is Burgess! Just have this feeling he is going to rise to the top, and its crowded!

Either your being ignorant or you just have not followed the spring recruiting, but most experts have had Purdue as the favorite before the recruiting battles began, so NOBODY who follows college basketball knows Purdue will not be the someone that NOBODY saw coming, but it sounds like you qualify!

There’s a lot of talent to possibly reduce Fletches PT. I think Benter, Harris, and possibly Mayer and West who could challenge for playing time. Fletch will start but i believe gives up minutes to others unless he’s on fire in a game. You likely aren’t off by much though and i think it will all depend on in game performance specific for PT among the 2/3 position… might even see Murphy tried at the 3 spot if his 3 point shooting stays above 40%.
I’d like to see Mayer and/or Cox or Harris spell Smith to get his avg to around 35. If Mayer turns out to absolutely earn time making it difficult to not give him more time and his PG skills are as advertised he might see more time at the point than we expect.
I also hope DJ comes out fit, heavier and hungry and pulls an Edey in that Paint feels he’s got to be the starter between he and Cluff. That’d be a great situation for the team having two starters to rotate. I hope Paint finds his life extremely difficult going into the season and all the returning players make a jump and the new guys are great fits and bring more to the team than expected. I for some reason have a feeling that we’re all gonna be pleasantly surprised by Benter, we’ll see. BTFU!!!

Appreciate the clarification - didn’t think you were crowning Illinois. I think Underwood has his work cut out for him to turn them into a contender. He has had a massive amount of roster turnover which makes it hard to have continuity.

For sure. But he's a good coach and someone is going to do it (be very good), so hoping it's not them.
It would suck for us to come up short and a different Big 10 team wins it this upcoming season.

Again I have no issue with migrants coming into the country and being productive law abiding citizens. All of our families have done this at one time or another. I am not on board to use taxpayer money to house them, feed them, give free healthcare for just coming here. Other people who want to should donate to a charity for that purpose.

My immediate family and extended family has adopted kids and gave them better lives. My brother went to Viet Nam and brought one back and raised him. We all had our own kids already. That was our choice. This didn’t burden any taxpayers who didn’t agree . That was our charity to them for a better life.

Oh, my poor little lefty lib friend. You're sorry mistaken. Read and watch what Pelosi herself has said and then comeback to tell me it's blatantly false.
And by the way, basketball IQ, whatever you think it is, doesn't make a mediocre player better.

Loyer had to play more last season in that trend line simply due to the lack of weapons.
Doubt that is case next year.
