You know we are going to talk about it. Might as well start a thread to consolidate the discussion. I'll start the conversation with an interesting entry....

Love J-bird, but I don't believe he nor Katie would expect an offer from us. Unless, I'm completely wrong, but they do have a great relationship with Walt.
Honestly, his game reminds me of B.Scott. I would say he's better at the drive and a decent defender. He tends to shoot from the hip. So, his shot is pretty inconsistent.
Gritty player and that comes from Mom. I just think we could get a better player with our options, but "who knows".
His 3-point percentage dropped from 41% to 26% this year. Not saying that's a hard no, just wonder why.
Looks very much like another 6'5 uber athletic guard from 4 years ago.
I doubt we add another guard other than Antione West jr. And what big would want to compete with TKR for post touches? Yet I am nearly 100% sure we add a player from the portal. As for Jackson I sang his praises and wanted Purdue to offer him out of HS. Purdue never had any interest. IMO Daniel is the missing piece to another finial four run.
I agree, unless there is unexpected attrition. I'd guess the most likely adds would be a slashing wing and/or a versatile 4/5.
Hard disagree - who is backing up Jacobsen and TKR at the 4/5? Berg isn't working out and Burgess will need a big jump to fill those minutes. Bringing in a solid vet to provide reinforcements is needed.
As for the guard situation, pretty sure most thought we didn't need Lance but that was the missing piece.
Furst is gone and maybe Berg, I'd take the 6 10 Valpo kid, hoping Raleigh could turn into a Winter ( Wis) type player for us
Did you watch many of Jackson's games at Carroll/Northrop after Katie took the position? Good kid with a lot of grit, but he's not Purdue material....IMO. I truly believe we can get something better out of the portal.
We have no guards/forwards who can go and get a bucket whenever they want vs whomever they want like Claude did last night.
We need a player who can back up TKR when he needs a break or gets in foul trouble. We have no down low threat when he’s out. DJ and RB are going to be good but we can’t risk hoping those two can be the ones to produce when TKR sits. We need a guy similar to TKR who can score around the bucket and/or a rim protector because DJ prob is only playing 20-25 MAX mins. That leaves 15-20 mins open. RB fills in 8-12 maybe? Still need someone who can fill the rest of mins.
