He would be a good pick-up for anyone, but we'll see how the poops do with him.

This is the one for everything.

Why doesn't this article mention Will Berg and his potential?

With Purdue basketball being the flagship power-5 outlier that holds out and does it the old-fashioned way by recruiting/developing players, does it widen the recruiting landscape for high school seniors that still want to play and look for a traditional-built team? The comradery and team chemistry that they are used to in high school.

Who is up for some April basketball?

Purdue forward and B1G 6th Man of the Year Mason Gillis has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Team down south #8, probably rise a bit with Ballo

Can Purdue finally break through today? We will see.

Turns out Caitlin Clark and former Hawkeye Connor McCaffrey are dating. Ok, makes decent sense I suppose.

But then...anyone know what McCaffrey is doing for a living now?

Well he's on the coaching staff of...wait for it...the Indiana Pacers.

Adding to that...his brother Patrick transferred. Strange off the bat that he would leave a team his father coaches. But where did he transfer to? Wait for it...Yeah...Butler.

Time to see if Purdue can move past the Sweet 16.

As has been consistently shown over the last 2 years, Loyer has a hard time on the offensive and defensive side of the ball when he goes up against athletic and stronger guards. He would definitely benefit from additional muscle in the weight room. However, I don't know if that solves the problem or not.

When he squares his shoulders, gets set and fires his shot, he can definitely be deadly from 3. However, last night showed again, when he drives to the basket, shoots off balance shots or floaters, or tries to create that this does not work for him. He is too slow to guard quick guards, and he really help us with rebounding (Smith probably out rebounds him 4 or 5 to 1 and he is 4 inches shorter).

He does have 2 years of experience, but with the more athletic guards, plus Heide and Colvin getting some experience this year, does Loyer even start for next year's team or will he be more of a 6th or 7th man on that team?

Next season could be his breakout year.

Scoring shouldn't be a problem next year with Berg, Colvin, Furst, Heide, Loyer, TKR, and Smith being joined by an excellent Freshman class.
But as we saw when Zach was given a rest, most Team's were able to attack the rim against Purdue.

How do you think the Team will compensate next year?
