high 3 star DB flip from UNLV

Another guy odom has worked with alot of experience.

In our Reindeer Shuttle game wrap Braden Smith goes for 34 as Purdue beats Toledo 83-64.

Redacted from The Athletic:

Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall has had a terrific debut season at Tulane, and the Green Wave are 9-2 with legit Playoff hopes. He went 23-4 in two seasons revitalizing the program at Troy. The 42-year-old is the hottest name in the Group of 5 ranks and is well-regarded in coaching circles for his ability to connect with people and feel for the game.

Liberty head coach Jamey Chadwell has won big everywhere he’s been and runs an innovative, fun offense. At Coastal Carolina, he went 31-6 in his last three years before leaving for a bigger payday at Liberty. He led the Flames to the Fiesta Bowl in his first season and is 21-3 entering the regular-season finale of Year 2.

UNLV head coach Barry Odom has completely turned around the Rebels in less than two years. He’s 18-7 at a place that hadn’t won more than eight games in a season in 40 years.

Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell, still only 44, has gotten the Cyclones into Playoff consideration with a 9-2 record in his ninth season. Campbell has posted seven winning seasons in Ames, including a No. 9 finish in 2020

Marshall head coach Charles Huff was a respected assistant at Penn State, Alabama and Mississippi State before taking over the Thundering Herd. The 41-year-old from Maryland is 30-20 in four seasons and has Marshall 6-1 in the Sun Belt.

Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield is in his fifth season leading the Tigers and has continued to elevate the program, going 19-5 the past two seasons. The 44-year-old Silverfield has coached at all levels, including stints in the NFL with the Vikings and Lions.

James Madison head coach Bob Chesney has gradually risen up the coaching ranks, from Assumption College to Holy Cross and now to the Dukes, who are 8-3 despite losing 13 players to Indiana when the Hoosiers hired away Curt Cignetti. James Madison blew out the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, putting 70 up on UNC. The 47-year-old Chesney looks like he has a P4 job in his future, but it might not be this soon.

Hearing Hudson, Chicoine, Myers, and Carr are all in the portal. Carr is one thing, but why would 3 starters and stars from a top 15 team leave?

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for this squad to play this tough of a schedule?

Personally, I think it’s a good thing and taking our lumps early is good for team chemistry and for the new guys to learn from the older guys.

We won’t be seeing a top seed in the tourney but this team will be experienced once March rolls around. Get the right draw and who knows how far these guys can go.

Let's have a thread tonight as Purdue faces Louisville in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16.

I'm curious if the Boilers offensive problems were less with Graham H., but more with the chemistry between the HC and OC.

Or, if asked differently, would GH be more successful here under Odom?

Purdue falls in its Big Ten opener at Penn State.

We obviously really need him to come. But am I out of my mind or did we get an out of the blue commitment from this guy out of high school and then a quick flip to Arkansas

After losing three of four Purdue is outside the top 20 for the first time in years.

Merry Christmas!!

Long ago Jesus who existed at creation, was given by God through the Virgin Mary in a miraculous birth to then become a sacrifice for every Man.....through His birth, life, death and resurrection.

All we have to do to live forever with him are 3 things.....it's as simple as A, B ,C

A.....Admit you are a sinner and repent (turn away) from your sin.

B......Believe Jesus is the son of God and that he came to be a sacrifice for sin, once and for all

C.......Commit to Him as your savior by putting your trust in Him....and then live by His tenants in the Bible.

Don't have to clean up your life first. Come as you are. If you are willing it's simple.......say this prayer by Billy Graham...

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life".

And then follow Him.
Merry Christmas
Have a great Holiday and enjoy times with your friends and family

I know he’s just a freshman.

But I keep reading his minutes are limited because he is not in playing shape and he just gets exhausted too quickly.

Was he injured during his senior year or during the summer? And he’s recuperating?

Or as a senior in high school did he just walk down the court and his team waited for him to get in place?

I’ve never heard of a healthy player Other than Tractor Traylor who was not in playing shape and could only play for short bursts at a time.

I recall Swanigan and Tre who were recovering from injuries and weight conditioning issues that started their Purdue careers on a limited minutes basis until they met their weight standards and got in playing shape. I fully expect Jacobson will be on a limited minute schedule next year when he returns to play.

So what’s the story on Burgess and his conditioning issues and limited playing time?
