Another immature and embarrassing post from Riveting. Riveting can’t add value to message board, but he loves to add immature insults and name calling. Can’t wait to see what’s next…not so riveting.

Trying yet another user name, right katJM235-0?

What is this, no. 6 or 7 (better not try to count them based on your post above, just estimate)?

I have to agree with Michael here,

I don't think you pair Gordon and McCarthy together, both play the same position, and aren't quick enough to play the 4 spot. I don't think either is much of a long range shooter either, so you'll run into spacing issues on offense, and mismatches defensively against quicker 4's.

Not to mention ball screen coverage. I wonder if CKG took the drop coverage from Painter. I think in the men's games, the long 2 is a more forgotten art than in the womens game. Which makes me wonder why McCarthy is in that coverage, consistently leaving our defense at a disadvantage.

I'd imagine McCarthy just isn't quick enough so she has to sit back.

Speaking of quick enough, idk if Puryear will ever be to slide to the 4. So we might see a log jam at the 5 next year with McCarthy, Puryear, and Gordon.

I agree with you on Puryear and I REALLY want to know what the coaches were planning when they recruited 3 big strong slow posts all within two years of each other. With the current portal rules, I very much doubt we keep all 3 of those players until their senior year, especially with the way players leave the program under Gearlds. Couple that with only 1 decent high school pf and recruited in 4 years and she only stayed one year and you have to wonder what the staff's collective recruiting philosophy and objectives are.

Alaina Harper was recruited to get Caitlyn back for her 5th year. Beyond that she has no value on a Big Ten team. There is no reason beyond gross incompetence by CKG for recruiting Collier and Mahri Petree. Bass was the best pf the staff could land, but she is not a BT caliber player. She also seems a low motor kind of player, only interested in getting her points. You cannot call this a rebuilding year when you are playing transfer seniors the majority of the minutes. It's just a lost season with a coaching staff that has no idea how to build a winning team.

Some truth to this…as I said, if money is available good players will come, maybe not the best of the best but a tier above what they’re getting now. I got no problems with adding Collier, she’s fine as a 8th/9th player used in a niche player role, no way she should be starting getting over 10 minutes a night though.

Pairing McCarthy and Gordon at the same time sounds like something CKG would do, but it would be a recipe for losing. Neither Gordon or McCarthy are quick enough to guard a forward that can shoot threes and put the ball on the floor to blow past them. Puryear might be able to play the 4 but that's not a given either.

Really want to know why we have players sitting out games for personal reasons weeks in a row.

Wow! The numbers/counting police on the message has spoken. What’s next, are you going to post about how smart you are when the next person makes a grammar mistake or spells a word incorrectly? As a compliment to your buddy, Riveting stuff from you.

As an old H.S. girls coach I know how difficult it is to please everyone. I also know one thing for sure, you have to have the right horses to win. Sometimes even with good coaching, you may not have the talent to compete, and other teams just have more talent and quality coaching to go with it at the H.S. level. However, when you are a college coach and have an opportunity to recruit that changes the narrative. Going in, I thought we had some talent, not Big Ten top talent but certainly enough to be competitive. I was a Swanson fan and guess still am but not sure we have enough talent around her for her to get open 3's. Maybe she lacks on the defense end. I have no idea what goes on in practices, but the coaches know. I don't know how many seasons we can be satisfied with being young or rebuilding. I've giving KG and staff the benefit of the doubt, but a corner needs to be turned. for fans like me to maintain my interest.

I would be more patient and understanding that this was a rebuilding year IF:

We were playing with the young players and taking these losses

We could see ANY sign of player development year over year. No player has gotten significantly better playing for CKG year over year, and several have played worse the longer they played for Gearlds.

Our offensive scheme looked competent instead of re-treading the Versyp set play 4 statues offense. You do not get your outside shooters open by having them stand in the same spot for an entire offensive possession.

There wasn't abudnent evidence that CKG doesn't have the ability to judge talent. "Collier is the best shooter I have ever seen" makes me believe she had her eyes closed for all the losses we took to Iowa and IU the last 3 years. "I have dreamed of having Amiyah as our point guard" stated after A. Reynolds has a stat line of 16mpg, 2.5 ppg, 2.2 apg, and shooting 38% from field and 28% from 3 pt range. The recruitment of Collier, both Petree's, and a couple other of her recruits that clearly do not belong on a P4 roster.

I am with you on being a big Sophie Swanson fan and I cannot see any reason at all for Collier playing ahead of her at this point other than CKG has not clue what it takes to win and to build a team for the future.

Step 1: Indinia fans spend their holiday on a Purdue forum
Step 2: Fill threads begging for our approval and acceptance
Step 3 (you couldn't even type this list right): Get mercilessly mocked and not smart enough to see it
Step 4: Katscratch makes another weak post while still begging for our approval.
Step 5: He then rinses and repeats.

It's no surprise though that you can't even count correctly and failed in hysterical fashion. You just can't make this stuff up.

Step 1: Purdue posters start (another) thread about IU Football
Step 2: Fill it with bad takes, hot takes, and contrary-to-fact takes
Step 4: Get bludgeoned by actual facts
Step 5: BBG and Riveting embarrass the Purdue fan base with ad hominem, third grade insults
Step 6: BBG and Riveting melt like sad snowflakes: "Why did Indinidiia think we care about them?"

I still see Jayla on the bench. I have no idea what is wrong with her. Obviously the coaching staff doesn't think it is any of our business.

I haven't seen Alaina Harper for a couple games now. So I'm guessing she may have left the team. Kind of surprised Mike Carmin hasn't mentioned something in one of his updates.
Click to expand...
Yeah Russ Ford, I see all your laughing at my posts like a hyena, but if you want to impress anyone on here that you know what you are talking about, you need to actually post something cognitive about the games and team but the only things you post are praising CKG regardless of her obvious failures and your infatuation with Smith, Jones, and other in state players despite their displayed complete ineptness at playing Big Ten ball. Neither of which show any actual understanding of basketball, certainly not at the Big Ten level.
