My guess on last years team was 6-8th in the Big Ten. I was off. Many of you here were predicting Purdue would be too 3 or even laughably a Final 4 team (cc:
@TwinDegrees2 ). That certainly wasn’t close.
Fans often exaggerate preseason. Purdue fans are no different. I’m sure some here think you guys will be competing for a Big Ten championship next year. We have those delusional fans too that think we will be competing for one this year.
As I’ve said, I think we are 4th or 5th in the Big Ten. That’s without knowing the Big Ten schedule which is obviously a big factor in Big Ten placement. None of this prediction is based on incoming freshmen. Lander is a nice piece, but I have no delusion that he will have a Romeo or TJD type impact right away. The other 3 freshmen will likely not have any impact.
