All coaches must use all tools to improve their team, even if that is through NIL......after all, even development teams like Purdue are still relying on NIL to retain talent. Just part of the game now.....and I will be disappointed in CMP if he doesn't bring in new NIL players this off season.
Agree completely. I really don't get how somehow it's more noble because CMP didn't get any transfers. I'm pretty sure he won't be as noble next year!

I am up to here with fans that say stupid stuff like "refs didn't affect the outcome" or "refs aren't why we lost".

These videos are awesome because they most certainly do not show Leal making contact with Furst's junk.

Yet they DO clearly show Furst throwing his arms up! And not in pain; but to complain to the refs and with no concern for what would have been painful if it had actually happened.

Geez Caleb; if you're gonna fake an opposition dirty play, it's probably better to do like the soccer floppers and actually pretend like it hurts! Fall harder Caleb! Stay down for a minute brother!!

Man, I’m not sure what you’re seeing but let’s just say no contact was made. The intent was there to kick back his foot to hit furst in the groin. That alone is an F2. Just like your boy X grabbing Rutgers junk and Gunn head butting Klesmit. Intent was there.

WTF happened?

Too many guards who only like to shoot 3’s. And not much else. Don’t worry we have 3 ytymore just like them arriving in the next / t ttt ttttytt yț

look at our incoming class. We signef Cox, Harris and Benter. We signed 0 small forwards! Look at the future! We signed West for next year and Ertel for the following year! We already had Myles and Wadell.

Purdue has a big hole at the small forward position now and no signs of filling that position in the future.

I expect both Smith and Loyer to return for another year. I expect Smith to continue to play 35-40 minutes a game. So basically all of our talent is packed into 2 positions. And we are really hurting for depth in our front court! And please don’t try to tell me that Heide is a power forward!


These players are all great players, but we need players who can rebound. We need physical players rather than ones who like to catch and shoot!

Ask yourself, what will Benter and West provide us next year that we currently don’t have? I see zero improvement over our current team with their additions. They will just take minutes from Cox and Myles.

At least a player like Sisley would have added a new dimension. A 300 pound center would also be nice!

We have enough 175 pound shooters!
I am very glad you’re not on the coaching staff

Alternative to Catchings

I agree and disagree.

Painter said after we reached our scholarship quota that there was a way to add Harris. With Catchings gone and Harris added, that way that Painter earlier hinted at was still available. The question remains, after Catchings left, we were at the limit, so everything worked out. However, it’s possible Painter might have at least looked at the portal players to see who was left. And just didn’t see anybody worth pursuing.

As for Gillis, I know everything that was stated publicly to the media and what you read off your internet sites! All three seniors said they weren’t coming back at the beginning of the year! That’s what Painter and the media published to the fans!

However, I personally believe after playing for Purdue all those years, if Gillis had second thoughts and wanted to stay at Purdue for 1 more year, Painter would have found a loop hole to allow him to stay! It’s not like Stephens who wanted to leave the program! It seems very logical if Gillis came to Painter in June after Catchings left, painter would have worked his magic to bring him back.

Admittedly none of this made the media. The real reason Catchings left didn’t make the media either and neither did Burgess’ conditioning issues.

There are many things the media doesn’t publish
You didn’t read/listen. Gillis and Painter on separate podcasts (not the media) said the same thing and it was decided before last year. Gillis would have had to de-commit from Duke, back out of his NIL and then pay his own way or a current Purdue player all of a sudden would have been off scholarship. None of that would make sense. Especially with the incoming talent Duke had vs Purdue.

The portal closed on May 1st. Catchings, according to you, decommitted in June. Therefore, painter could not have used the portal. He could have gone after any guys that weren’t committed to a school, but I would venture there weren’t very many and probably not what Purdue was looking for.

Why is this so hard to comprehend?

I am up to here with fans that say stupid stuff like "refs didn't affect the outcome" or "refs aren't why we lost".

This is so obviously true. Purdue has had players that were hated by IU fans for which this is also true. No rival fan base was ever calling Travis Carroll or Matt Roth "that punk."



All of the IU boards I have seen have moderators.
What a joke. You come over here and post all you want. We go over to your board and get kicked out for saying anything against IU. Be glad you aren't treated the same here.

Did you actually look at the video you posted and how that person edited the game? It didn’t even show an actual replay, it cut right before they started showing them and then cut back to after they made an actual call…it didn’t include any of the replays shown

But here you are:

WTF happened?

I am not sure why we changed our defensively philosophy. We played so well in the last 10 minutes of the first half, because we packed in the middle and dared them to beat us from outside. They are horrible shooters from the outside as a team, so it worked.

The defense spread out in the second half, and they were given 3 to 6 foot shots, which even their team can hit. Don't understand why we stopped doing what was working so well.

Play small, lose Big

I don't consider playing small to ever be a problem in college basketball. Purdue fans got used to having 7-3 dudes playing center. You can win with TKR and Furst at 6-9/6-10. But not if Braden Smith plays like Gabe Cupps.
DJ will develop into a more stretch 5. He has a nice shot from the outside along with his rim protection abilities. I think will be ok, bud.

Faux News' Jesse Watters' Friend Got DOGE'd

Exactly. If they had senior roles in those companies, then they were short-timers with the federal government going for another pension, aka "Double Dippers." They had nothing to lose. They weren’t eligible for a pension yet.
H*I*L*A*R*I*O*U*S*! This just in: "DOGE adviser Katie Millier said in an X post that the employees who resigned were "full remote workers who hung Trans flags from their workplaces."

Faux News' Jesse Watters' Friend Got DOGE'd

Maybe having held senior positions at Google and Amazon means they were already taken care of financially and don't need to live off their pensions, not that your statements about pensions are necessarily factual.
