Purdue recruiting Eugene Hilton

Wanted to give a quick update on four-star in-state wide receiver Eugene Hilton.

Barring a massive change, Hilton is not ending up in West Lafayette. Clemson, Wisconsin and Missouri are the main suitors for him. Georgia is still lingering as well, but that looks less likely at this point.

Biden’s Student Debt Cancellation Raises Inflation

"A key concern about the debt forgiveness program is its inflationary impact in an environment where inflation has been persistently elevated for over a year.

However, at the same time, this is also likely to be inflationary. Expectation of additional debt forgiveness programs evokes a moral hazard incentive for college students to take out more loans and for universities to increase tuition rates.1 To the extent that inflation is inherently persistent, any initial price level increase would also lead to sustained inflation over the near future. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the Fed will need to raise rates by an additional 50 to 75 basis points to counteract the Biden debt cancellation proposal.


Everyone wants to know why inflation is “stickier” than expect, it’s because Biden keeps handing out free candy

Tax $ for Migrants in Illinois.....our Broke country can't afford

$268 million in tax $ allocated in Illinois alone. Unaffordable boondoggle.

Plenty of money for Migrants and kickbacks for politicians later in their re-election efforts.

Now I was sure several lefty libs here said migrants didn't cost taxpayers a thing.

Apparently, citizen voters are a might testy. But in a one party state, politicians think they are free to run rough shod. Given Dems party first history, they are likely right, even if a few stray, plenty of party first Illinois citizens will re-elect the tax $ wasters.

Chicago City Council approves extra $70M for migrant care despite voter backlash

Assuming the top 3 seeds in the NCAA tournament are Purdue, UCONN, and Houston

The candidates for the 4th top seed look to be UNC, Tennessee, Marquette, Arizona, and Kansas with the others being likely 2's.

Which of those 5 do you think Purdue matches up best with? Which would you most want to avoid?

I realize we've beaten 3 of the 5 already this season. That said, I think Edey gives us an even bigger advantage when the opposition hasn't played against him before so I think I'd rather see UNC or Kansas in our bracket than any of the three we already beat. Between those 2, I'd prefer Kansas as we know Hunter Dickinson and can deal with him and their guards are less dynamic than RJ Davis.

Of the other 3, I think I'd least like to see Tennessee in our bracket. They have the players to make it hard on us in the paint and on the boards and it took a 27-point effort from Loyer to beat them in Maui if I remember correctly. Not sure I'd bank on us getting that in a rematch. Knecht seems to be getting better as the season has gone on as well. If we see them again, I'd prefer it not be until later.
