Is Purdue a better job than Arkansas?

Why would we want Musselman? He lost 10 games in the SEC with a boatload of talent...
He’s a good recruiter and has a bunch of athletes pushing KU.
A lot of teams pushed Kansas this year. They lost 7 games...
He definitely can recruit, but how? Is it NIL or something else?
There are plenty of good, athletic basketball players out there. Purdue just refuses to recruit them. Watching the teams play today, it’s clear we’re simply playing in the 1980’s.
They have 6 final fours and a natty.
Plus they are in a state with no other major universities and no pro sports, so way more NIL opportunities than we have.
No way he would leave for Purdue. And we can’t outbid an SEC school.
He also lost one of best players due to injury this year and had another (Smith) recently return after being out all year. He’s a really good Coach, not sure I like the 1 and done model he’s now using though.
I've got anyone who doesn't get beaten repeatedly by double digit seeds and get us labeled as the chokers of the decade. Don't care what his name is even if it's pudintain.
Little Archie never got beat by double digit seeds, do you want to go and lure him away from Rhode Island?
Yea Ark is a very good job. They have a crazy fan base an over supportive AD, financially rich area, average 1-2,000 in attendance more than us.
Arkansas has a huge NIL base. Contact Musselman, let him know you've got that part of the job covered, and I'll bet he will be interested. It's all up to you.
Only Bonefish would think starting a bidding war with Walmart folks is a winning proposition.
And it's not even just Walmart. Tyson Foods and JB Hunt Transportation are also headquartered in NW Arkansas. NW Arkansas has a decently high percentage of America's Millionaires and they treat the Razorbacks like the local Pro team. Thinking any major sport job at Purdue is better than Arkansas is crazy talk.
Let's overreact more..... We lost 75% of our scoring this year and the results were a BTT champ, and BT title, being ranked #1 for half the season, and of course a choke in the tourney.
Having consistent success will eventually get us there. We had gone to the S16 in 4/5 tourney's going into this year, and are now at 4/6. That isn't a record anyone not very blue blooded would pass.
Recruiting has been trending in a positive direction. Unfortunately for us this year our freshmen hit the freshmen wall. In all but the most extreme cases this happens to freshmen. Next year with some meet on Loyer's bones, and hopefully a little more focus on fundamentals for Braden that problem should be resolved. We also have a potential x factor with a highly touted very athletic combo guard joining the team. Oh and a 7 footer who can shoot 3's if reports pan out......

I can see it. She's definitely easy on the eyes. Eric Musselman is winning at the game of life, for sure.
