Player to add to Purdue's roster for the tourney run, from a B1G team not likely to make the NCAA tourney, who would it be? I'm leaning toward Tyler Cook from Iowa, think we could use the front line depth of one more big body.
If you could have just one...
- Thread starter NVBoilerFan
- Start date
Hill would be my second choice, especially if he was willing to play the stretch 4 some too.
I'd go Thomas Bryant and put up with the whining for a couple weeks. I think he would thrive in our offensive system and good luck guarding both him and Caleb on the floor together.
I was thinking of him...hate his cry baby act all the time, but Purdue lacks inside depth. If any reason happens that negates Purdue's inside game...Purdue will lose. Purdue can win without any particular guard
You think TB could learn our system in under a week?
Any player you bring in right now would struggle to learn the system in under a week. I think he would be great depth for our post players which we currently have nothing other than Swanigan, Haas, and Vince.
Oh yeah, run you a$$ off and beat them down the court adn if you don't get the ball...screen and roll to the basket...and everytime they shoot...that is your ball to get unless Biggie already has it. That would be simple enough...You think TB could learn our system in under a week?
Well I'm sure he's about to graduate so he must be smart.You think TB could learn our system in under a week?
I don't know. Sounds simple enough, but you're fighting against 2 full years of Crean's coaching..Oh yeah, run you a$$ off and beat them down the court adn if you don't get the ball...screen and roll to the basket...and everytime they shoot...that is your ball to get unless Biggie already has it. That would be simple enough...
I do think it would be worth it just to see what would happen when he goes to cry on CMP's shoulder.
yeah...how good could be have been if his athletic ability was honed in with some discipline
My money says he isn't close, but like you said...who does?I doubt he has the work ethic of Biggie (few do) but...
Oh TC.....yucky! I feel dirty all over!! Besides he wouldn't be much help as the first time he tried his whining to refs on a Painter-coached team his butt would hit the pine never to see hardwood again...lol!

Bryant McIntosh. Leader, shooter, rebounder, defender, team leader.
Interesting question..... as I have often thought we are 1 player away from being a dominate team a few years and this is one of those.
I think when things bog down a scoring guard like Mason or Jok would be nice as college is a guards game.
IF nota a guard.....Down low I will take Thomas Bryant. With coaching he could have been all B1G....and perhaps the B1G player of the year.
The OP posed it for players on teams that are not locks or going to be in the tournament. Northwestern is safely in the tournament as an at-large now with their win at home vs. Michigan.
Also, if McIntosh joined Purdue (in this hypothetical), wouldn't it be a bit crowded in the backcourt (at least at the 1) with Thompson, Albrecht, and C. Edwards all capable of playing the 1 as well?
Guys and gals, remember this was the initial question from the OP: "Player to add to Purdue's roster for the tourney run, from a B1G team not likely to make the NCAA tourney, who would it be?"
"from a B1G team NOT LIKELY to make the NCAA Tourney"
"from a B1G team NOT LIKELY to make the NCAA Tourney"
McIntosh can play 1-3 effectively and probably some at the four. I'm sure Painter who wanted the kid big time would find him a position.
