I get what you’re saying but if he’s “counted on heavily” for rebounding and defense” this team is in trouble. It might be a win if he can get to the “doesn’t suck” level in those areas.

I believe after this year and Odom has a solid base of players that fit his style, you will see a lot fewer players leave and Odom signing a lot fewer transfer players.

I believe what you are currently seeing at Purdue is not totally related to NIL but rather to ODOM not liking the players who were at Purdue. Looking at our last 4 coaching hires, Brohm brought a lot of his players from WKU and players he was recruiting with him when he arrived. Hazell brought nobody from Ohio st with him when he arrived. Walters brought 1-2 players from Illinois. Looking at Odom, he brought a bunch of players from UNLV and a bunch of players he and/or. His assistants have previously coached. Odom is bringing players he is familiar with and who are familiar with him.

It’s also nice to see these new players are coming to Purdue from decent schools. Odom is not recruiting 2 star players from Wabash College Or Drake or SIU.

Oh good lord. Do you just automatically believe what you read on right wing media?

The Roosevelt has been permanently closed for about five years. When it closed it was a former grand hotel that had become run down and was owned by the country of Pakistan.

The City then used that closed hotel as a migrant shelter a few years after its permanent closure.

The next time you’re in New York City, try staying at your five star Roosevelt Hotel. Lol.

My source said that BIG10 teams would have a LOT more money to spend thanks to the BIG10 network contract and thanks to teams like PSU and Indiana participating in the playoffs last year.

It appears Odom is doing a good job using that additional money to attract a lot of transfer players Purdue would not normally attract.

I’ve also noticed a lot of the players that are coming to Purdue had previous playing experience with Purdue assistant coaches! I’m not certain if it’s the assistant coaches reaching out to former players to come to Purdue or if it’s players coming to Purdue wanting to play for their former coaches. But wow, this is something I haven’t seen in a long time! Players being attracted to Purdue to play for their previous coach. Just wow!

I’m not becoming a homer, but winning 4-6 games is starting to look more feasible. Winning 6 games and going to a bowl would be a nice step forward to regaining respect! Purdue is not in the same league as OSU, but we should be competitive against teams like Rutgers, Illinois, Minnesota, IU and northwestern .

Now you’re falling for it again. All of these horrible people came into the country, but now that Trump is in charge magically poof! No one‘s causing any harm anymore! And yet deportations are down. So if all of these horrible people came into the country during the Biden years and are still in the country because fewer than ever are getting deported, why isn’t there still harm being caused!?

It’s a manufactured crisis designed to rile up the racist and xenophobic.

Gosh, didn’t even think about that possibility when I saw the news of the “merger” (acquisition). Not sure where my head was ….
I do subscribe to On3/GBI but seriously doubt I will re-up in Nov when my membership expires. I have so many of the posters there on Ignore that I often can’t follow the gist of a thread. Not worth the money anymore. Multiple nincompoops (sp?) over there who I just don’t need in my life 😎.

As for their “Women’s sports” forum, yes it is dead. Mike Carmin even quit posting WBB and VB news there and nows places it on Knucklehead Central, I assume due to lack of traffic. There’s probably 15-20 folks who regularly reply to his stuff, so a few more than here but still sparse by comparison.
Hopefully more clarity closer to Nov 1 when the merge occurs.

I want to know why we haven't seen the report where the FBI told the TN Highway Patrol to let him go, when the patrolman reported that they had an illegal, seemingly transporting eight illegals from TX to MD?

Which starters? We have like 10 of them. I'm ready. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Kentucky is always good and a road game makes it even better.

We should get some answers for sure after this game is over.

Okay I'll break it down once.

Indiana travels to Lexington in December.

Indiana coach Darian DeVries cleaned house. Both roster and staff, even including long standing Dr. Tim Garl. So Indiana has brought in 10 portal transfers and 1 freshman(so far). Hope it helps you.

It would be funny if he threw the starters out there for a full 40 minutes and just put a bruising on UK to make a point. We all know he won't, but man that would be hilarious.

They're supposedly looking at Rodgers, which is kind of stupid IMO. He *might* give you one more year, but he looks washed up. That could be a good landing spot for him.

Not just shooting. He'll be counted on heavily for rebounding and defense, if he wants playing time. As Heads up Boiler said, shoulders can be tricky. But, yeah, Painter was aware, and he trusts his staff, doctors, and trainers.

With On3 buying Rivals, it unclear what will happen to this forum. On3's Purdue women's sports forum is essentially dead. I appreciate the views and dialog even though my view my differ. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue our interaction when the dust settles from this change of ownership.

Heads up BOILER said:

Makes me question the portal pickup just a bit. Shoulder surgeries are not always quick recovery and range of motion can be affected , rehab is very important and even then shoulders can be tricky d/t multi rotational nature…
Hope he’s good to start practicing on a timely schedule. Couldn’t read the article
