DraftExpress scout at the game last night

Despite his illness, he and Purdue (because it's the NCAA institution that makes the application) would not be able to apply for a medical hardship waiver. He played in too many games, and it wasn't season-ending.

There's chatter about a 5th year of eligibility going forward - haven't seen anything where that would be extended to players currently in their last year of eligibility.....but who knows? It's becoming a free-for-all anyway, sooner or later.

And now......back to our regularly scheduled programming - Get Off my Lawn, New Pal! I just planted that bluegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, featherbed bench and northern California sinsemilla hybrid mix.

The amazing stuff about this is, that you can play 36 holes on it in the afternoon, take it home and just get stoned to the bejeezus-belt that night on this stuff.

We need someone with the balls to change the system, including the military-industrial complex. Aircraft carriers are obsolete. Tanks are obsolete. Fighter planes are obsolete. The future of warfare is drones and hypersonic missiles. A reiired 4-star who spent 30+ years in the system doesn't have the vision to make the needed changes. Hopefully, Hegseth does.

Do you mean fighter jets will be obsolete in the future because they seem pretty useful now against enemies like Iran...?

It's possible, never say never. CKG might even have "the talk" with a couple players. There's only a few that seem like they could play in the big ten.

The only players that don't look Big Ten capable are three of the four transfers CKG brought in and keeps playing far too many minutes. The rest just look like they need someone competent to coach them, which they are very clearly not getting. Again, if nearly every ranked player CKG has coached (7 of 8) looks like an untalented scrub picked up from the co-rec, then you should be focused on the coaching staff and not saying the kids lack talent.

Yeah Robyn Fralick is impressive. Her resume at BG wasn't even that impressive, but she has it rolling.

If/when CKG doesn't work out, do we look at a mid major up and coming coach? I'd be ok if the coach doesn't have Purdue ties, get the best coach available.

At this point Purdue ties should be a dis-qualifier considering the massive dumpster fire SV and KG have created out of a once proud top ten program.

Mid major head coach or top assistant at a great program. I wanted Shea Ralph when Gearlds was hired, but Bobo the clown didn't want to put any effort in, so he offered the job to White, got blocked by Vandy then offered Gearlds. No attempt made to find the best or even a good coach, just one with Purdue ties.

Correct, his first year he did get Covid than hurt his foot causing him to miss a decent amount of games, maybe he could petition the NCAA to get that year back? I doubt he’d even want to play another year though.

She looks like she has not received any competent coaching the last two years. She is tentative, timid and shows very little offensive skills or defensive intensity. Layden, Jones, and Swanson all look better than her and two of those weren't ranked.

That's exactly how I would of described her play most of this season.. tentative, timid. That's why yesterday felt a little different, looked like she was more confident in herself. With Poole most likely out the next few games, Amiyah should get more PT.

When every ranked kid CKG has coached looks like a scrub, you have to start looking at coaching and not the talent of the players. As I keep pointing out we are more talented than MSU on paper, who is only two years away from a losing season and are now top 6 in the conference.

CKG like her teacher before her averages 2-4 transfers out a year. After this cluster I see no reason not to expect some of these girls to be sick of looking pathetic and want to go somewhere they can actually receive competent coaching.

They’ll be players that leave and move down a level, this has to be miserable. Poole getting hurt sucked as well, Purdue needs her to play and get experience. I don’t see much hope from any players on this team, I’d play the younger ones and hope they develope, just not sure they’re any good as far as Big Ten caliber. The Reynolds sisters are an enigma, at this point neither has shown anything, I play the Frosh, maybe she’ll gain confidence, these were high 4 star (top 50-60) rated players, they look like MAC level at best to me. I hate to be so down on kids but this is what I see.

Chan went to UConn. Down to spindler who went to clarkston HS, which we historically have recruited well, and Coogan who is from Chicago and we offered out of HS. I think we are set at left side of line but maybe one could step in at RG. If they are capable of RT we could upgrade there. Maybe Tanona will help recruit them.

always nice to have depth, the one thing I noticed about top teams is their depth, if one 6'5 320 OL gets hurt the next 6'5 320 guy w/ tree trunk legs comes in to do well

Up to this point, no doubt. I'm going to give her some grace. Still a frosh who missed a year of basketball with injury. Let's see what she looks like down the stretch and into next season.

Gearlds has far greater issues than just Notre Dame and Kentucky. When you're taking 30 point beatings from basically everyone, you're in deep trouble. Our average margin of loss in the Big is probably approaching 30 points per game. Winning isn't everything, but how much fun can it be to be get your butt kicked every game? We're 0-9, it doesn't look likely that we will rack up wins against anyone anytime soon.

February 2nd is crucial, lose that game and our only hope is hosting NU to avoid a winless Big Ten season.

If I'm CKG, I'm taking ND off the schedule (believe it was just a 2 year agreement anyways) and making sure my Thanksgiving trip isn't against a top tier team. UK is locked in for another year.. I don't believe we'll pay to get out of that one. Rack up the non-conference wins like Minnesota, big ten is tough enough.

I'd be pretty disappointed if CKG brings in more than 2 transfers.. assuming our other players stay. I don't think we'll have this mass exodus of players.. it's not like we have some superstars waiting to burst if they join a new team.. still alot of benefits to being on a power 2 team compared to a mid major or Big east school. Winning isn't everything to players, although us fans would like it to be haha.
