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.

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".
Brenton or Bryson very different skill sets. I’m guessing you mean Bryson since he was a driver and went to Purdue
 
Billy Smith, played at Bellermine, HS Brebeuf in Indy, highlights look decent and he is already generating lots of interest evidently?
 
Fran and Painter are that close?!?
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???

Why couldn’t Purdue find some quality players from mid- majors, like Michigan was able to find for their two 7 footers? Going that route would probably be cheaper and less team disruptive. Hopefully, an effort is made.
 
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.

I think we will get quality help from portal and Money won't be a problem
