I don’t think it’s that we’re opposed to the portal as much as that we don’t want it to come at the cost of retention and continuity. Painter is building a great thing with this group and the core is one that he can win with at a very high level. If everyone comes back and is healthy, Purdue is going to be loaded next season. Not just loaded, but extremely connected where the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. I don’t see adding players just to add players. If it makes sense, bring someone in, but it has to be a great fit like Lance Jones was.

Down 25 with 7 to go in the first half tonight. Yikes.

I would say that if Painter thinks he has a FF team for next year with the current roster, he's probably being a little overly optimistic. He, the fans, and talking heads know where the gaps are on this roster and where the portal could be used to immediately fill those gaps.

Do you think they're afraid of Biden and just wanted to wait uintil the end of his term? Trust me, if it's not done by the 20th, it will be done by February. Guaranteed it's Trump that put the chit in their drawers.

Rubber bullets. Now there's a novel idea against those shooting 9mm.

I see UK has signed 2 of the top 5 guards (according to 247) for next year.

What’s fun to think about is our team will be even better next year - meanwhile IU will win the offseason once again! Priceless

Michigan St - 4, 15
Michigan - 5, 19
Purdue - 5, 20

UCLA - 6, 22
Nebraska - 8, 32
Maryland - 9, 36
Ohio St - 10, 39
Indiana - 11 (play-in), 44

Penn State 5th out
Iowa 9th out

Conversely, the SEC is just crazy good right now. 7 in the top 11 overall. 13 in the field currently, with one more 4th out.

The jackass doesn’t get sworn in until next week. Chump has absolutely nothing to do with the events leading up to his ring kissing on Jan 20 to commence the upcoming Cosa Nostra. If you actually think one man has that much power to put the whammies on a group of people to come to the table and agree to something you are the gullible an capable of being in a cult more than anyone.

Care to make a gentlemen's bet on how many we lose to the portal this off-season?

You can’t tell me if those were 2,000 black folks beating the hell out of the police, lethal weapons would not have been used.

Yeah the Capitol police were inept. Rubber bullets should been at least deployed.

It didn't take long to play that race card. As far as ". . . tremendous amount of restraint. Too much actually. . . ." I assume that you agree with me that the Capitol Police were sniveling cowards who should be b1tch-slapped out of federal service without pensions.

Blah, blah, blah Mr. Know it all. Even a clock is right twice a day. You got yours. Since then you have posted nothing but drivel. You couldn't even recommend a replacement for Walters. Keep stroking your ego and Brohm. We know where you stand Mrs. Brohm. LOL

Hartwig potentially gets a late round flier too. And here I thought the OL stunk…

Or…

Maybe it was coaching like somebody said on here for the past 2 years. The amount of talent Walters squandered was absolutely monumental. Something to study.

Remember when we took a RG and moved him to a position he wasn’t as good at AND we took a starting job from a 3 year starter at RT so he had to go play at Louisville? I do.

And then the apologists hitched about how awful the line was Brohm left? Walters created these problems himself. Not the previous coach.
