Wrong. The PG is always needed to score. The lack of a scoring PG has been Purdue's problem in the tourney since the Keady teams.
IU Recruiting
- Thread starter pubill
- Start date
Kansas just won the tourney with their starting PG scoring 6 points a game
This is dumb. Bakersfield is paradise compared to most of Indiana. Take your political vomit back to your own board.
Come on now, stop ruining bones's narrative. He lives in a world where the only way to win is to have a 6' 4"" or taller point that scores 12+ ppg, 6 assists ppg, and sings the national anthem better than any current recording artist.
Whatever, never concerned with IU’s recruits. They didn’t do Jack shit with the last two top rated 5 star recruits, to go along with all world TJD. They’ll tell you everything is different with Woody…. um okay.
I like it a lot more than 5'11, 155lb guards.....And, as long as you stand for the NA, I'm good with it.
Our best showing in the tournament recently was with a point guard who never shot the ball. Now that’s a puzzle, eh? We were one rebound short of going to the FF with that non-shooting PG.
We really don't have a lot of scoring options coming back in the backcourt. Maybe, just maybe, one, two or even 3 guys will have break out years but Purdue currently doesn't have anyone that has shown they can be a consistent scorer at the B1G level.
Its not even just a conversation about scoring from the point guard position. Purdue doesn't have any proven scoring coming back at the 2 or 3 either. I'm crossing my fingers for Pack because without him Purdue is going to need to have a lot of dominoes fall into place to be in the top half of the B1G next year IMO.
Along that line of thinking, maybe if we had a PG who could shoot that year, we'd have won the NC, yes?
Florida is a football state. I'd take an Indiana Mr Basketball over a Florida 5* every time. Same can be said in reverse. I'd take a Florida Mr Football over an Indiana 5* every time.
Still waiting on you guys to make the tourney. Maybe next year.
But hey you made to the play in game at least! Good work little brother!
The obsession with us continues it looks like. Don't you all have your own forum?
These guys that go to schools like Montverde aren't necessarily from Florida. The school is like La Lumiere. It's not fair to compare a guy like Smith to a recruit from one of these schools. They play a national schedule and are at these schools to specifically play basketball.
Remember, Edey was a backup on IMG. How many Indiana high school basketball teams would Edey have been a backup on? I know he's improved over the last year and a half but he was pretty good when he arrived at Purdue.
Never been to Bakersfield but I've lived in Indiana. I'll take your word for it,
Lol both programs haven't been to one in a long time. Difference is we've been close and usually have a better opportunity every year as our sustainable success shows. You guys are a non factor about 50% of the time to make the tournament since your last FF.
Also of note they won on efficiency. They averaged 7 of 17 behind the arc. It dispels the notion that the 3 point shot rules in the modern game. Kansas plays kind of a classic game. Surprised me.
That the same rumor mill that said Brad Stevens was a done deal?
I would LOVE for Emoni to go to iu. He would fit their culture so well. A me-first player that can’t handle the slightest bit of discipline would do wonders for that locker room. Sign me up.
That's all IU needs is another 4. You can't play 4 guys at the same position.
Edey is 7’4… or he wouldn’t be in the conversation. He also developed much faster than most. he hasn’t played BB that long. My point remains the same. I’d take an Indiana Mr BB.
That's a pretty bold generalization.
1. That’s a false tweet from the college Senior that runs the barstool account.
2. It’s weird that you bring up having only 4s when Purdue seems to have that exact issue. Gillis, Furst, Kaufman, Waddell, Heide… did I miss any of them?
Yeh, that's just silly.
FL has a lot of talent in every sport.
Hell, UF won back to back NCs and if I'm not mistaken, had a bunch of FL kids on the roster.
Troll, neither Waddell or Heide are 4's.
I'd take the opposite side of that view and say that if Purdue doesn't land Pack and doesn't have anyone step up and have breakthrough season relative to their production to date, they will struggle to finish in the top half of the BT next year.
If we land Nijel the floor and ceiling for the team immediately go up significantly and given the makeup of the roster, I would be shocked if other players do not step up. There are a lot of pieces there to really like. I agree with your point that it's unknown how those pieces will step up into more prominent roles.

Yep, I would take a d-line full of GK's any day
And my understanding was Kaufman was sold on the idea that he would be able to play some 3.
We'll see how Woody does with a fist full of cash and his own players this year. My guess...Another day and same results.
Still waiting to hear why the new IU recruits don’t care about academics. IU has had a perfect academic score the last 3 years in basketball.
Because they committed to a shitty
