is a man amongst boys these last 2 tune ups before the B1G season starts. If he keeps this up, I see All American honors and a 1st round pick in his not too distant future.
Caleb Swanigan
- Thread starter cprh9u
- Start date
He had a double-double and was excellent against Notre Dame.
Had a double double vs Louisville and was 20 and 8 vs Nova....
If he is back next year at this rate, then bad things have happened.
Biggie needs to be money from NBA 3 point range, and he'll be in the league for a decade.
Actually just from the corner IMO, and he's getting close.
I humbly suggest you look at how many times he hasn't had a double double this year. Spoiler alert, it's a very short list.
Up next are the Iowa Hawkeyes. They have two freshman bigs/posts that have played thus far in Tyler Cook and Cordell Pemsl. Cook has missed the past few games with an injury but is slated to return vs. the Boilers at Mackey next Wednesday. Iowa's young team has been playing better lately after some rocky early season results. It should be a good one!
Blake Griffin also had 3....against Gardner Webb, Davidson and Texas Tech.....not exactly stellar competition either
Biggie is the man. Could be most dominant Purdue player since Big Dog if he continues at this rate.
Just saw on ESPN, Biggie is only the 5th player since 2010 to drop 30 and 20 and the only major conf player in 15 years to do it other than Blake Griffin.
How about stepping it up a notch against Iowa with 40 and 30.
Biggie brings it every night. Are there taller, faster, more skilled and athletic players the NBA may covet more highly? Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Who do I want on my side come game time? No. 50. Yes, 100 times. And he keeps getting better.

Caleb is starting to scratch the surface of his offensive potential. He needs to continue to work on that. He's just a beast on the boards and he's relentless. Not sure where that puts him in the eyes of the NBA. I'd like to see him go win BTPOY and then test it again. Can't fault him a bit for going if he is a first rounder.
Guys like Swanigan, a combination of talent, desire, and heart are rare, the guy does whatever it takes to win, its gotta inspire the other guys on the team. Can't say enough good things about the man.
I'm sure it would be annoying if I were playing with him but I kinda like how he will just take a rebound away from a teammate if he can. I think it shows just how bad he wants that ball!
Well, you should go up stronger thenWell I just meant that if I had my hands on a rebound and Caleb took it away from me that it might annoy me a little!!
You've made your point, about 50 times. Can't you just enjoy Biggie's success?
Who says I'm not? Just because I didn't post it on this forum? And my "50 times" pales in comparison to the 1000 times the haterbrigade posted their garbage.
I think it's funny that he is actually starting to scare opponents when he's going after a rebound with force. They don't even seem to want to be in the area. In harm's way, I guess. They might get Biggied.
Then when CE blows past them for a hoop, they also get Boogied......CBoogied that is.
If CS averages double digit rebounds in conference play, he's likely to break JBC's single season mark of 352 (in 35 games) by the end of the regular season. That has stood for going on 38 years now.
The thing I admire most is his motivation and work ethic. Gene used to say that about Big Dog too. Brings it every game.
I've heard that several times concerning Gene Keady and Glenn Robinson. Also, it's been mentioned a couple of times by broadcasters on games concerning Caleb Swanigan.....maybe it was Bilas....when you're best player is working that hard or harder than anyone else, it rubs off on the rest of the team, or put another way, it shows the other players.....you better be working your ass off or else......definitely looking forward to the conference season.
