Pardon my French but God Damn!

The horrible record didn’t help, but usage of Ivey was a sticking point between management and coach Williams. From USA TODAY:

Ownership's confidence that Williams was the right fit for the team dissolved amid a 2-29 start to the season. His usage of Jaden Ivey early in the season — opting to bring the second-year guard off the bench behind the since-waived Killian Hayes — and refusal to stagger Ivey with Cunningham are among several decisions that confused team officials.

"We require change," Gores told local media members in December. "We’re not doing well. As far as where we’re going in getting this set of players and flexibility and all that stuff, I think that stuff and the work to get there is still there. But we have to assess what’s not working here. I’m down to Monty and I talking about rotations. I don’t normally do that."


In January, Williams acknowledged he was questioned during an organizational meeting about his handling of Ivey, and reluctance to use him as a primary ball-handler. It was a peek into the disconnect between the coach and the front office/ownership that has now culminated with his dismissal.

38-year-old Purdue alum Kara Winger (Patterson) will compete in the javelin finals at 6 this evening at the T/F Olympic trials. She finished the preliminary round in 1st place with a leading throw of 63.01 meters, a little more than half a meter ahead of the 2nd-best throw (62.4).

Winger is the javelin American record holder (68.11 meters) and is trying to make her 4th Olympic team (2008, 2012, 2021). Her career has experienced quite a renaissance in recent years. She's had a bunch of international success but has not yet won an Olympic medal.

Purdue guard Fletcher Loyer is taking part in the second annual Jayson Tatum Elite Camp in Las Vegas, which began yesterday and runs until July 3rd. Loyer is one of 14 college players in attendance, and just one of two from the Big Ten doing so. There are also 13 high school prospects in attendance, including 2025 four-star forward and Purdue target Nikolas Khamenia.

Makes sense, as he mentions he wants to get after it with Memphis. Needs to get that chemistry goin with Ja that was similar to what he had with Peaky B.

Aaron Roberts - Jr.
Indianapolis, IN (Cardinal Ritter HS)
6'4", 295 pounds
Offensive Line
2024 Projection: Reserve

Roberts has seen action in one game as a walk-on so far. He played at the end of the Indiana State game in 2022, when virtually everyone on the roster played. He has served mostly as a walk-on and practice player.

He came from Cardinal Ritter HS in Indianapolis, one of the Catholic schools that has an up and down program history. Ritter has won five state championships, most recently in 2016. With Roberts they went 7-5 in 2019 and 6-3 in 2020.

Roberts is a depth and practice player. He will probably see some run in the fourth quarter of blowouts, but Purdue's depth on the line has him pretty far down the depth chart.

Memphis at # 9 according to ESPN

With talk of replacing Biden.....
Is there a DEM out there that won't also continue......
⚠️Bad energy ideas that screw us all
⚠️Leave the border pretty much open
⚠️Green energy inflation scam
⚠️Bad policy & regs that keep prices high
⚠️Backing failing Union controlled schools
⚠️Extending Govt $ to illegals thus indirectly harming SS & Medicare
⚠️The Fed high interest costs
⚠️Adding more costly rediculous regulations
⚠️ High tax plans

So I ask, does it matter which DEM tries to screw us all?

One DEM same as the NEXT. Bad DEM policy is the problem for America....Biden just happens to be the DEM fool screwing us now.

Those of us who have watched Zach for these past 4 years knew what would happen. We knew.

Full roster:

With about a week away....here are my predictions.....

1. BIden team already has the questions.

2. The moderators will weigh in on Trump's comments. At points making it 2 on 1.

3. J6 and the 2020 election will be a question......when it's not even a top issue to most Americans.

4. Top issues......inflation, economy, prices, border, crime, national security, energy & education....a few of these will be asked, but not all.

5. Both guys will exaggerate their records. But Biden will be over the top on his many, many lies......Thus, the next day the media focuses on the few Trump fabrications.

6. Biden will be assisted by moderators when his memory slips or to finish thoughts.

7. Abortion &/or health care will be a question(s).

8. Climate change will be a question.

9.. Biden will not fall asleep during the debate, and thus will be declared the winner by the media for exceeding expectations.

…in the same recruiting class.

Mike drop.

How far back do you have to go to find another in the B1G conference?

It's been a big first few hours for Zach Edey and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Marcus Mbow - Jr.
Milwaukee, WI (Wauwatosa East HS)
6'5", 305 pounds
Offensive Line
2024 Projection: Starter

It has been a few days since I have had one of these to post, mostly because there was a large gap in numbers on the roster. Also, most of the freshmen did not have numbers until this morning. Now that they have numbers, thi can pick up a little bit more.

Mbow enters this season looking to bounce back after missing much of last season iwth an injury. he played in four games in 2021, but maintained his redshirt. in 2022 he started all 14 games at right guard and was a Second TEam Freshman All-American. Last year he started six games before he had to shut it down die to injury.

If healthy, Purdue is set with Mbow at right guard. He is a multi-year starter with 20 starts on his resume, making him extremely experienced. More importantly, there is the consistency of the line with Moussa and Hartwig starting nearly as long as him.

Just saw that Gafney left and committed to Clemson, was hoping he’d stick around, pretty much knew he wasn’t though.
