How attractive is the Purdue job right now?

My point has nothing to do with Stoops going to purdue. My point is there are only 3 p5 1 p2 schools looking to hire a coach. So unless uk or another p5 school for their coach we are one of the best landing spots in the nation.

The best ability is availability.

Guaranteed NIL pot will be required for your next coach worth anything. Granted B1G tv exposure and money. P4 conference, filled stadium when successful, facilities upgraded ... attractive job to coaches ... but that NIL pot already onboard will be important.

2024-25 Purdue Transfer THREAD

With a late start, whenever we get our next coach, there is going to have to be 40-50 transfers at least with no recruiting class and all of the transfers out. It worked for IU, so I don't know why it cannot work for us.

The difference I see between your situation and IU's, as of YESTERDAY, December 1st, Cignetti was already on contract last year. With the new dates for early portal visits (Dec 4th), you could be more like Washington. Yes, they were caught unexpectedly in January but still in two weeks your are outside the portal window until the spring. The coach at Washington has reminded his press corp of that almost weekly.

As Human Rights Tribunal vice-chair Karen Dawson wrote in her decision, “I find this remark was demeaning and disparaging of the LGBTQ2 community of which Borderland Pride is a member and therefore constituted discrimination under the Code.”

Are we going to have to listen to this BS for 4 years? What do we believe or not believe? Do you have the magic decoder ring?

He said he's going on the retribution tour.............and he has no idea who is behind project 2025 and knows nothing about it. His choices for his cabinet and his appointments sure make it look like both of those are true.

Which campaign promises are we supposed to believe? Didn't you and half the country VOTE BASED ON WHAT HE PROMISED?

You have no choice but to take your ridiculous position. When he does what he promised you celebrate and when he doesn't you criticize others for freaking believing him. Cover your ass either way. How convenient for you.

You're still angry about Nov 5. I love it!

What do you believe is more relevant: Trump saying a Haitian immigrant ate someone's cat (and he probably said it knowing it would some people up in knots, like you and BNI, while make others laugh because it's outrageous and funny) or Trump saying he's going to deport illegals?
I'll go with deporting illegals. Which we should all be in favor of anyway.
Also in favor of tariffs, the DOGE, cleaning up the FBI, DOE and other unnecessary govt waste.
So as far as campaign promises, I'd say believe them all. But, he never promised anything about eating anyone's cat.

These games for sure mean a lot come March. We will be on here debating resumes and so will the selection committee. PU getting a number 1 seed the past 2 years wasn't just because we won the B1G. It was because we played very well in the pre-conference and beat some very good teams. These games do matter.
Click to expand...
No they really don't.
You may be here debating rankings in March, I won't.
Higher ranking doesn't give you squat.
Win the games (WHOEVER it is) and you win the tourney.
1st or 64th.

I had forgotten about that until you posted this. Seems like he was having drinking issues and depression if I remember right. Stepped away during his junior year. He for sure still has issues with his temper and overall control of himself. Good chance it will be his undoing someday. All is great when you're winning and everyone in your community loves you. Not as easy when things don't go your way. Just look at how unhinged he was over 3 losses. Imagine if a whole season didn't go your way....

Did not know about this story. Knew that there was another Hurley brother back in the day but that's about it.

Mental issues are nothing to gloss over.

That being said, carry on with the punch-able face talk.

Completely agree. DJ has a lot of work to do in rehab and on his body in general but if he can rebound and block shots at an elite level he significantly raises the ceiling of next year's team, whether starting or coming off the bench.
Click to expand...
DJ being a shot blocker defensive threat cloggs up the lane in itself is needed and the rest let's say 10 pts and 10 extra Rebounds changes us dramatically given everyone else doing there thing , I vote we play 6 players next year ...vs everyone else's 5. 🤣

That's not an example of not being able to develop as I am sure he was in the weight room but never got bigger like his brother and wasn't fast enough to play other positions.

You can't develop what genetics limit and that is what happened to Yanni.

Yeah, Yanni has D-Line speed like George, but got linebacker size unfortunately for him.

Bob, this is where you are confused. We bomb the village it came from, but we also bomb government buildings, storage centers, and the like. This is the meaning of bombing the crap out of them.

So you now understand why having an airbase completely surrounded by hostile forces is an incredibly stupid idea right? I'm taking your avoidance of the issue as an acknowledgement.

So your solution, like most of MAGA on a variety of issues, is to bomb the crap out of them?

How are you getting the ordinates to the surrounded base? Or are you flying in from another base near Afghanistan? Which one is that?

If you do manage to bomb the hell out of them, what makes you think it will change anything? We bombed the hell out of them for 20 years. How did that work out?

Do you know any of the history of Afghanistan? How many countries have tried to conquer it? Why would more bombs solve the problem when it hasn't before?

Just one more thing. I thought the idea was to get out of there. You're talking about starting another war. Brilliant.

In the upper division of all of sports, he might "face off" against Sirianni.

It is hard to believe the coach of the two-time defending NCAA Tournament champion is taking this position against tournament competition. Really good coach - yes. Really big jackass - that's a Big 10-4, good buddy. Over.

he was a 4 star recruit. sure he was probably over rated because of his brother. but he provides a very realistic example of Purdue's lack of ability to develop any player. he even redshirted, and he still didn't develop.

NET is out

Chi-Boiler said:
Taking a look at our schedule so far, going from best to worst NET-wise:

1. Marquette - 7 - Since this is a road game, I can't see it possibly dropping out of Quad 1 (Top 75).
2. Alabama - 13 - Has to stay top 30 to stay a Quad 1 win since it was at home. Probably will considering their schedule strength the way it is and will be.
3. Ole Miss - 55 - Quad 2 win right now, but good chance to become Quad 1 as that cutoff is 50 for neutral games.
4. NC State - 91 - on the other end of the Quad 2 range. Higher than 100 would make it Quad 3. I would expect it to get better, not worse.
5. Yale - 106 - Kinda cemented in Quad 3. Would need to get to 75 to move up.
6. Texas A&M CC - 140 - This game could drop to Quad 4. They don't have a strong conference that could help their metrics.
7. Marshall - 192 - Needs to move to 160 to become Quad 3. Unlikely.
8. Northern Kentucky - 286 - Locked into Quad 4.

And the rest of our Non-conference:
1. Auburn - 2 - Win or lose, this will be Quad 1. Neutral or road shouldn't make a difference. Currently neutral, but see below about A&M.
2. Texas A&M - 43 - Labeled right now as Neutral, but the NCAA can make adjustments during the season on these things. David Worlock from the NCAA put out a post on X about it this morning, but I didn't get a chance to read it. Could make a difference because as neutral, it's Quad 1, but as a home game it's Quad 2, currently.
3. Toledo - 197 - Pretty solid in the Quad 4 range, but the MAC is usually decent, so possible room to move if they're good. Currently 5-3, and will likely finish NC at 6-5.
