Armaan.....My Condolences

Typical IU fan. Build straw men and then point fingere saying but you...
Purdue starts a pre season All American at point guard this year. What are you talking about?
While I think Carsen guards the opposing team's 1 most of the time, Eastern will most likely be your "PG".
If this thread reaches 1000 posts, Armaan will change his mind right?
A lot of truth to this. I would have wholeheartedly welcomed him as a Boiler, but I didn't see him as a must-get kid that would lead Purdue to a FF. I just don't like to see IU get anyone Purdue is recruiting.
But I believe that some of the people screaming loudest about him picking IU would have been complaining if he chose Purdue that MP signed yet another kid out of the Top 100.
Purdue recruits a bunch of players every year. Doesn't mean everyone is deserving or will be a good Big Ten player. I think Purdue coaches wanted Jaelin Llewellyn much more than Phinisee.
Coming from the guy that's predicting Illinois to be better than MSU and IT as a 4 year starter...
I figure we scout/contact at least 10-12 players and give out 4-5 offers for each possible opening. With 5 openings for this class, we have the potential for 20 recruiting ‘losses’, and that translates into at least 10 OMG threads about recruiting problems. Its tiresome and obnoxious. Some folks just don’t get how teams are built, how kids decide their school, and how this whole thing works. I am reminded of the little old lady that tells her friend, “I unfriend you”. The other lady says “That’s not how this works...”. Ugh!
That's about right. I have done a lot of recruiting over the years. HR people will tell you that in large corporations you recruit 5-6 people to fill each job opening.I figure we scout/contact at least 10-12 players and give out 4-5 offers for each possible opening.

Probably not, but I appreciate some of the statistics you have shown in other threads, backing up your assuresion.
In fact, I don’t recall an up coming season with so many unknown teams. We just might get a new spin on the BIG hierarchy.
At this point, we can all have our own opinions, and until they start playing, nobody is really wrong. I do think you are presenting a challenge to convention by saying Illinois wil be better than MSU. The talent gap alone makes this a difficult perspective to get behind, regardless of how much I would enjoy it happening.
Maybe because it is a Purdue message board and Purdue fans are always going to rip IU and back up their own guys 9/10? Your posts don't change anyone's mind here and you're wearing out your welcome.
Spot on. The B1G really is wide open this year. Inside the Hall (I know I know, lol), did a really good podcast preview series last year interviewing an insider from each B1G team. As a B1G fan, it was a good way to get a closer look at other teams.
Last week started a new season starting with MSU and Michigan. I guess Michigan shot something like 14% from 3 in their summer tour games. Outside shooting is a major concern the writer that covers them brought up, as they lost their top 3, but didn't bring anyone in that excells in that area. Everyone predicts them to finish in the top 3 based on talent, but I can't remember a Belein team that couldn't shoot from deep.
Ok, back to Armaan now.......
He offered him, but he wasn’t a high priority recruit. He spent a lot more time on guys like Robby Carmody, Eric Hunter, and Damezi Anderson. Plus Phinisee knew he would be the backup PG behind Nojel for 2-3 seasons.
Let's see start for a team or come off the bench for possibly 2-3 years. Good for him! Now Anderson probably didn't make the best decision considering IU's depth at the position and them still recruiting Brooks. Writing is on the wall for him.
Hold up, you don’t get to tell anybody they don’t have a clue. You wouldn’t know a clue if it punched you in the face.
I think you might be over qualified for this role. Maybe you should just lean back and observe a bit. I find it amazing this board had survived so long without your care!
Believe as you wish. I know plenty on this instance. Like I said - your statements are incorrect.
lol. No. If you are in a leadership role in a company, you will be involved in hiring.
Glad to help. I'm guessing you guys who cook the fries don't get involved in hiring.
That’s cute and so far from reality. Being a store manager at Walmart doesn’t equate to management.
His brother had fewer physical tools than Isaiah, and he started the majority of his games as only a sophomore.
