Again, your school hired a KNOWN CHEATER. It doesn't get much lower than that.
Are you incredibly pessimistic in your outlook for IU this coming season? I’m not sure how you wouldn’t be given your outlook of Romeo and the rest of the team last season.
Actually the opposite. IU's playing for once with predominantly Archie-recruited players and finally passed the bell curve for learning a completely new system. IU for once has legitimate front court size and depth and a good and experienced nucleus coming back in the backcourt. Am a little concerned about backcourt depth if Hunter isn't able to go, but nonetheless IU should be a much more balanced team the coming year.
I heard B1G champs and FF about last year's roster as well. I think your board is calling for you...
Painter never had a affair with a cheerleader, that's some B.S you I.U fans made up. His first wife was a cheerleader and he got divorce, that's about it. I would not expect someone with your mentality to know that, in fact I have not see anything intelligent come from you at all.
Wait, did my post state that I believed IU was going to be B10 champs or get to the F4? Or did I simply say I wasn’t pessimistic about next years outlook?
Help me understand. Your argument is that IU sucked last year because even though Romeo played like a top 10 player, everyone around him was bad. You also believe that even though Romeo, their one good player, leaves, the team gets better?
I actually agree that IU has a chance to be better this year, just not sure how you reconcile those views.
Easy. I already laid it out.
1) The team is a year older
2) The team is past the learning curve for a completely new system
3) IU has legitimate size and depth in the front court. No longer is 6’6 Justin Smith starting at PF and guys like Joey Brunk and Race Thompson are immediate upgrades off the bench over Fitzner, Moore, and Forrester who are no longer on the roster.
Should IU avoid timely and costly injuries like last year (that’s never a guarantee), IU should be a much more balanced and experienced team despite losing Romeo and Juwan. May not agree with me and that’s well within you’re God-given right but you asked for my outlook and there you have it for a second time.
I don't think I'd say it's a "strong" correlation, but marketability does matter to an extent. Half of the NBA teams have a losing record....they make money on having "name" players.
Name players often develop or come from successful teams.
Obviously being on a good team alone doesn't make you an NBA draft prospect.
I'd also say there's a difference between someone who could be drafted out of high school or name players going into college (Ben Simmons was one), and players that become more household names in college. Would a Jimmer Fredette be drafted on a 10 win team that never was on TV? BYU was a good team when he was there that made the NCAA tournament...which led to them being on TV. His freshman year, BYU won their conference tournament and went to the NCAA Tourney...he scored 7 points a game. He became a "name" in the NCAA Tournament where BYU had unprecedented success...and of course he also dominated. But that platform certainly helped...
And where are they now? Not sure where in your mindless ranting you answered you own question. You questioned Painter’s ability to develop players. The fact of the matter is, no one does less with more than iu. There is zero debate on that. And at least Hulls got a sweet 16 ring out of that #1 ranking
I must have thought you were kidding the first time The beauty of a new season, hope springs eternal.
What a moronic retort.
Clappy the Clown was the best you got. No wonder no reputable coaches will give you the time of day.
. You're so triggered
hey, dumb@ss... I'm a PURDUE fan ON THE PURDUE forum.
Triggered would be YOU.
What a lame-@ss response from you.
But Painter can ride all of the roller coasters at holiday world, so he has that on Lil A
I love how IU fans have come in on a discussion thread on a recruit that they have absolutely no chance of getting.
Says the Purdue fan on a Purdue board that currently has a thread about an IU commit on their front page. These jokes write themselves.
The joke is how much we have owned you in basketball lately. Expecting the sweep to continue this upcoming year too.
No mad here, 'bro.'
You just a sad Loosier, looking to make your sad program relevant. On a Purdue forum.
You're right about one thing: You're just a TROLL. (You wrote it.)
Matt Painter wasn’t half the basketball player that Archie was. Nor did it take Archie Miller 15 years to get past the S16. Nor has Archie ever lead a team to a last place conference. You’re right SOOOO many programs are beating down Matt Painter’s door for his services.
The team with the most top recruits in the B1G and the least to show for it. So the answer is, "all of them."
Heh heh. Purdue had no where near the talent IU had. But keep trying to hold yourself up to your big brother, little sis.
Calm down little sister. You're spitting and gnashing. And you are displaying how low expectations have fallen for a once proud program.
If this is what your arguments have come to, yeah it's time you ran along.
Dude, give it up. Ain't nobody beating down Li'l Arch's door. In fact, he was... what?... 4th or 5th choice.
The obsession with our program is strong in that one it seems.
At the beginning of the season, IU fans were over here touting Romeo because NBA GMs had him as a Top 5 pick in the draft. That is a fact.
He was drafted 14th. Now 14>5, so that means that he dropped over the season. Try to spin it anyway you want but that is viewed as under-performing.
RJ Barrett was the projected #1 pick and got drafted third. Did he underperform as well because he didn't get drafted in the slot he was projected to go before he ever played a college game? Get a new argument.
Barrett was surpassed by Zion, a teammate. Barrett was the more highly rated recruit at that school. So yes, he did underperform.
If you want to say that instead Barrett was over-rated, I could agree with that. In reality, it is a choice between being surpassed and under-performing your ranking or saying that your ranking was inflated. It is a one or the other.

In yet ANOTHER attempt to keep this thread on point (in other words, go away Hoosiers, you're not in Dickinson's final 7 anyway), Corey Evans talked about Hunter in his twitter mailbag today. He kinda talked about most of the finalists, but said he's still on him coming to Purdue. Good things to say about Michigan and Louisville as well.

Fantastic. We have new troll names for the same old trolls. Looks like courtdense, snu and others are here with the same bull sh!t. For the love of God go back to the rock that you slithered out from. No one and I mean no one gives a sh!t about you or your opinion.
I know UNC complicated things a little, but I still think it is really between us and UL. I am glad to see he is a likely November signee, so we don’t have to wait until the Spring period, and do not have the ability to get someone else in his place.
Even with momentum that Purdue supposedly has. .Archie is going to get the top player's in state..
You can already see that..

Great, another IU fan joining the conversation on Hunter.
And struggle to make the NIT with all that "talent". Sounds more like you are trying to justify Archie's existence to you and your IU brethren than make a legit point.
Dakota Mathias got signed in the NBA to be an off-ball guard, is he more athletic than JBJ? I wonder how many kids ranked above DM from highschool are still under contract with the NBA....maybe under performance and level of development are simply just relative to the program you play for.....regardless, you should just be content with your program and get a hobby, coming here can't be good for your self-esteem.
