I think he will eventually get it done. If Villanova can win it all, so can Purdue.
You don't think Haas, Vince Edwards, and Biggie all have a shot in the NBA? 2-3 NBA-level players often means a good chance at going far in the NCAAT, no?
If I had to pick, I would say no, but it's like a 55/45 no. And that would be unfortunate, because if Hummel doesn't hurt his knee, i think they make it that year, which would have jump started recruiting, then....who knows? Same with Glenn's back, or Jaraan's ankle, or mitch richmond's bank shot...
Moronic. Like most of the NBA teams give a damn about playing defense. Both Swanigan and Haas will get drafted. Edwards has a shot at being drafted because he's just a good player who seems to improve every year.
Definitely high expectations of competing for a big ten title and making a deep tourney run
No you're an IU fan because you used "they" when describing Purdue in another post because you forgot to swap IDs. Go back to peegs there IUdeac.
Due to the lack of home runs in the 2017 all-in class, this year will be his last and best chance to do it. Our hopes fall on a freshman PG and a stubborn coach's willingness to let him play. -> Not looking good
Nag, this is a good post. I don't agree with your perspective here, but you express your opinions well.
I think he wants his game plan to work, so he is stubborn about changing during games where his team struggles. He does adjust appropriately IMHO, but that is certainly an open topic. As far as grad student players, Painter has brought in superior players every time he has looked into the grad student pool, so I can't really argue with his success. If it were me, I would try to give scholarships to freshmen first, and use grad students as a back up strategy. That may make him seem reluctant or slow to move on early transfers.
Of course he has struck out more than hit homers on the 5-star boys. Every coach that recruits at that level will strike out more than hit. That is the nature of the recruiting game. Furthermore, he and HOF Izzo seem to target the same kids, which means he is competing against one of the very best recruiters in the game. I'd rather compete against Izzo than give up and go for kids that are a step down.
You and I agree on the charisma thing. Painter will need to develop this aspect more strongly to reach the heights we expect of him. In some respects, charisma and game confidence are the weakest point in his repertoire. The good news is that those aspects are a result of personal growth and can be developed over time. His work ethic, and his basketball knowledge are his strongest points, so I see a balance here. There are coaches better at this job than Painter, but not very many of them.
Johnny Hill was not superior, IMHO. His boneheaded plays at the end of games (MSU and against UALR) cost us any chance of winning either of those games.Nag, this is a good post. I don't agree with your perspective here, but you express your opinions well.

You're an idiot. Here is your direct quote:
I don't watch the NBA much either, but you don't think having players drafted by the NBA is an indication that a college coach recruits good players?
Any player with Haas' size will get a long look from the NBA. If the NBA will sign uncoordinated Eastern European or Chinese players that are >7', they'll sign him. how do you know what he's capable of. He sat behind an NBA draft pick ($4M rookie contract) for the last two years.
So by your definition with 2 "championship caliber" teams, CMP did....what?
Just playingthat sounds more up your alley. have fun. Let me know if you need me after you get done playing. I am a doc, might be able to help
