Carsen Edwards

I don't see it being a "balance" issue. And I have little problem with these people, if they take their CONSTANT bitching and moaning about everything PU to their own site. These people have stated their position, and it's time to move on. I don't think this site was created to be a PU dumping ground. Time for these people to start a new site, and I promise I won't post anything positive on it. I mean, what is the purpose to come on here time and time again just to shit on PU? Like I said, most people come to this site to enjoy PU...........not to down it every chance they get. Of course there are concerns, and most are aware of them.......but when you can't even enjoy a win, or a kid playing a good game, then it is time to move on.
Do I think CMP is a great coach? No, he's a little above average IMO.

But mens basketball is the least of MBob's worries right now, so there's no use arguing about it.
 
Is it possible to have thread titles updated when a thread derails? Something like 'Carsen Edwards (now a CMP fight)' or 'Eastern (now positive attitude vs negative attitude)'. It will save people a lot of time...

Back on topic, Carsen really looks like a guy that will be a special player for Purdue because of his unique ability to be aggressive and attack the defense with strenght and athleticism. The fact is that the guy can also really shoot, even though they didn't fall yesterday (we saw it in high school and Spain) and looks like a hard worker with no fear.
I don't know how big his impact will be (but I guess pretty good, Big Ten All Freshmen Team type) but the skills and the right attitude are there to see.
 
Except that I didn't derail anything since I was posting about the topic. Sorry if that disrupts your agenda, but what you said is quite false.
My agenda is the same as yours. I want civil, substantive discussion without threads derailing like this one did.

When I saw what should have been a positive thread about CE, I scrolled up to see which post derailed it, thinking that it would be one of the serial complainers. What I saw was you calling them out by saying "Carsen shuts all of them up". Did you really think that wouldn't start a back and forth argument given who we are dealing with?

I appreciate your posts and that you are tired of the same annoying, repetitive complaining that I am. My comment was meant to be constructive. Sorry that it didn't read that way.
 
Some people have an agenda to defend Painter no matter what he does on or off the court. Some are trolls on everything. Some are more balanced and love Purdue but not Painter or love Purdue and like Painter.

Put me in the camp of love Purdue, like Coach Matt Painter...

That "said," he's not immune or absolved from criticism.

It seems that Carsen has grown since he first arrived on campus, and he seems to have a strong frame that will be able to handle some of the blows he will take in B1G play... He's ready for the spotlight already in my opinion.

We've been on the wrong end of speedy guards in the past. It's time for the rest of the B1G to see that speed kills.
 
Yep, a freshmen scoring against McNeese State in November is going to shut up people who point out Painter has 1 shared B1G championship and 2 sweet 16's in 11 years and hasn't won in the NCAA tournament in 5 years...

Meanwhile IU has a freshman guard who gives them 15 points off the bench in a win over #3 Kansas on a neutral floor. The B1G is loaded this year. Too early to know much, but we will find out more when Purdue plays Nova in a few days. If CE can give us 15 non-garbage time points in a win vs. Villanova, I will be very impressed.
There is no question that he can, but will he. His ability to score is controlled by Carsen. He can get his shot off and doesn't need help and so he can go against a lot of teams. However, that is not to say that he won't make mistakes or be off. This kid has a scorers mentality, decent quickness, decent athleticism, strong for his size. he will no doubt shoot a few that the fans say Oh $hit...and there will be other games they say only to follow up in a half a second with good shot. I'm not crowning him all world...just saying that "he" controls how good he gets as he has some tools
