Horrendous shooting last 9 games. 3 for 41 last 9 games and even worse 1 for 29 last 7 games.

I saw him play live in a game this year, he’s a good player, would love to see him at Purdue, maybe trade Berg for him lol
I like him with TKR and Jacobsen, that gives Purdue a nice 3 man rotation, Burgess if he’s here could be the 4th guy. He’d fit nicely here!
We need rim protection that can also score. I love Furst but he is zero threat to score and can't defend. He can rebound but that's it. He really shouldn't be on the floor at all. Give the minutes to Heide since he seems to be getting his shot together.
So additional info on Freeman. Story is that his former AAU coach is acting like his agent and fielding offers before the season even started.
Fran was best man in Matt’s wedding. I’m sure he wouldn’t push him away from Iowa and also assume Fran would speak highly of Purdue and Matt
Brenton or Bryson very different skill sets. I’m guessing you mean Bryson since he was a driver and went to Purdue
Hearing Iowa State is likely spot for Dix. Granted, I’ve also read that Creighton was in the mix for whoever they wanted on Iowa
Yes, twins and both made a career out of kicking IU's *ss but Bryson is correct.
Billy Smith, played at Bellermine, HS Brebeuf in Indy, highlights look decent and he is already generating lots of interest evidently?
Well that was my understanding. I believe I read it somewhere or maybe Matt made a quick reference to it in some video. I can't find a picture or text on it and so it was either a things said in a video or I'm wrong and either could be correct. However, it doesn't sound like something that could easily be held...
TJ you’re rarely wrong but if Fran was the best man at Matt’s wedding I’ve never heard that before. Doesn’t mean it’s not right.
Yeah, I can't prove anything and could be wrong...but it does seem like an odd thing to remember if not true. Being the second marriage for Matt and probably with little time available to plan much in advance, a coach that he could spend a lot of time with at different camps, recruiting and such seems plausible. I just don't know if true or why I seem to recall such???
I'm guessing you're thinking of Wesley Yates III - from Beaumont, Texas.
The freshman, Yates. I personally wouldn’t take both but would happily take either.
But wasn’t it Claude we couldn’t stop the last game? Great handles and ability to get into the lane.
Put him with Smith, a shooter and an athletic 4 who rebounds and that’s a deadly lineup.
Yeah, the only thing that kept Claude from scoring 30 on us the first game was that he missed the game with an injury.
Yes, Lenny. But he was out (knee - missed two games) and did not play in the regular season game. He also had 31 @ Illinois and 30 @ Rutgers.

I don’t give a shit about team disruption. Get the players that will help you win. NC. Get players who can come in and start.
Agreed. We are F'd if Painter tried running it back with what we currently have and not make major changes to change the dynamic of the roster. Only Smith and TKR should be going into the offseason thinking they have a starting spot locked up. And Smith should be lobbying big time for Painter to find a guard that will take the pressure of him.
