Thus why I worded it how I did. I knew what you meant.
Yes, that is a good team as is, but if they get another that fills another need...it makes them even better
I'm pretty sure that person would say they meant it "should" have been obvious and now that it is obvious he's doing it. No one says he is refusing to have the best team because he is being stubborn, sometimes, just like everyone in the history of humanity, he gets stubborn about some stuff and it takes him a minute.
I just think coaches disagree amongst themselves on some things as do fans as well as fans and coaches. Sometimes there are things considered that may not be obvious to others. It doesn't really matter as Matt will do what Matt thinks is best and if he starts to think something else is best he will do that. One could argue the good and bad with giving to much to the asst coaches or a variety of things.
That’s like a Colts fan being mad back in 2005 that we resigned Peyton, Marvin and Freeney, but had to let Mike Petersen and Edgerrin James go in free agency and draft rookies to take their spots…
It's a little amazing to me. When people said Matt should use the portal more it was Matt knows what he's doing, it's a culture, you don't know what you are talking about.
People get invested here in "old school" because it's a very conservative fan base. So it's not surprising some of them get in their feelings that a kid might prefer starting (and or getting better money) somewhere else than being a role player here.
I get that. It’s fun watching good kids develop over 3-4 years.
If the team plays well then great, if they don't then bad. Same as it ever was.
Athletic, for sure. But watching them playing the basketball more than not throughout the season, that had been so painful.
the other day Mike Miller a former 4 star recruit at Creighton and mostly a player off the bench signed w/ Murray St
Pointing out that players enter the portal knowing where they're going next. IOW, they've been tampered with.
Many of us just like the way it used to be when players came for the school and an education and were blessed to play a sport. Now kids don't give two chits about that.
KIND of don't get it? It's cray cray.
I was having a great day until you mentioned that lying pile of festering dog chit. Thanks.🤢
Ya I laugh when I hear the players interviews and they say how much they love their brothers . While that may be true they can also live another locker room if the price is right
I wonder if teams have contacted Heide & Colvin, with more money offered than what Purdue was giving each.
Not for me. If it’s a whole batch of new players every year, I will lose interest.
Soooo...you wanted them to subsume their goals for your favorite team goals and they're not so willing to do that anymore.
Yep, just like coaches, AD's and administrators can leave if they think a different school is better for them. All of us would feel differently if that was our kid wanting a different opportunity. Our views are jaded because we are fans of this team and that's all we care about.
Ripple effect from Painters one on ones. Do the math there are few minutes to go around 200 minutes per BS -40=160 TKR-31 = 129 Fletch -31 = 98 Cluff/Daniel -40=48 Cox/Harris-35=13 minutes remaining for Benter, West and Burgess If they are splitting 13 minutes, they may exit next year. Cam and Myles ate up 38 minutes per producing 10 pts and 6 rbs. Huge upside for both. Hearing Cluff got close to 1 million for his last year clearly, we are in it to win it. With more transfers coming, I think Cam and Myles couldn't risk it.
I think CMP would like to see less min for BS… maybe 35. I’m also not sold that Fletch will get that many again.
You are missing 10 minutes going from 98 to 48, but I get your point. I saw Cam getting close to 20, but that assumed no other additions.
A huge hit??? They were the inconsistent links of the chain to this year's team. Everyone talked about Purdue's big three this year but the fact is that players 4 through 7, not counting the freshman, didn't consistently show up....
You're not wrong...we liked the athletic ability and some flashes of decent play, but couldn't count on consistent production from them.
That's why we need a flex4-3 to cover that issue and Cam would have been that guy.
