Jacobsen to announce friday

I agree and almost posted the same thing ... A "2" is more of an outside shooter/penetrator (guard) and a "3" is more of a rebounder/penetrator (forward) ... IMHO>
For having given $1,000,000 to the program, you sure as hell don't pay much attention to what is going on. Actually, I should have known that from most of your posts.
hopefully some of that $ went in his pocket.For having given $1,000,000 to the program, you sure as hell don't pay much attention to what is going on. Actually, I should have known that from most of your posts.
FWLIW, I went to high school with Jacobsen's dad and he was and is a terrific guy. He's been sharing video on facebook of his sons (Daniel has a younger brother who I think is 6'8") working on their games since they were in 5th or 6th grade.
It may take some time for Daniel to get B1G ready but you guys got a kid that has length (obviously), skill and genuine work ethic.

Because people are getting sick of them not doing anything in March. So some money will stop coming in and recruits will stop coming. That's why.
Speaking strictly for myself, my expectations were highest for Purdue basketball (and I am a BSChE 1972) at the start of that game in Minnesota. That was the only time in my life, til then or since, that I was CERTAIN that we were the best team in the country. No doubt. I am a pretty rational individual and don't exaggerate my teams status in my head, but I honestly thought no one was going to beat us the rest of the way that year. Of course, being a Purdue fan, that belief did not make it to halftime. Losing Robbie like that was probably the single biggest tragedy for Purdue sports that I can think of (setting aside that guy from Kent State, of course) because I believe that cost us a very real chance at a national championship, that we are still waiting on all these years later.
That team was the hottest team in the country at that point and they for sure were getting to the final four. Hate the Barn…wish they’d build a new stadium….too much bad juju in there.
Looool. 58 straight games of selling out and the home games this year are all sold out. And there’s a wait list for season tickets. Recruiting has been going pretty well. Doesn’t look like the “money” or recruits are going anywhere…
Then why has there been story after story this year about Painters non success in March?
You are equating success in March with financial success. That’s the error in your thinking. It wasn’t that long ago that this was not an issue. We were a rebound/foul shot away from a final four. The single elimination format creates all sorts of randomness in results.
CJ Cox is the only current commit that has yet to sign. It's still early,(in the day, and early signing period) but I have to wonder if there is anything to that?
Listen Purdue will win a national championship look at the recruiting Colvin Kanon catchings heide burgess Jacobson look at these recruits
i would be led to believe his commitment was a conditional one. at the time he committed, his other offers were not from Duke. I have to believe Painter is waiting for a decision fromHarris. Cox may end up a preferred walkon with a lot of NIL money or wait until the second signing period after somebody transfers out.
Was never sure how Perry was going to fit in with this current team and next year's class. But take a look at this article...wonder who Painter is referring to....😏
Painter Announces 5 Commitments on National Signing Day - Purdue Boilermakers
Purdue men's basketball signing class is ranked eighth by Rivals.com and ninth nationally by 247Sports
I have read his posts for years. He's a broken record, until proven wrong. Then he moves the goal posts, denies his own words.
Are you Bonefish's mom, trying to defend him?
Hasn't happened, obviously. No one is happy with the early exits, but people thinking that the solution is to dump painter need to explain how that will fix the problem.
BeCAUSE there COULD be someone better…there has to be someone that wants to coach at Purdue that could keep up the recruiting we have currently and the regular season success and not miss a beat and deliver us instantly to the NC right…right!!!?? Right?!??
Your lashing out at me (and him) for your own inability to read words was entirely predictable. Has nothing to do with me "being his mom" or even agreeing with what he said. And in fact I did not try to defend him in any way. In your emotionally heightened state, you inferred things that were not said or even implied.
Because Painter is not John Wooden or Coach K or even Izzo.
Some people (you) believe Painter is the absolute best Purdue could possibly hope for. Other think there might be others out there who can do as well or better.
We wont' know until Painter is gone (retires or moves on).
What we do know: Painter is really good in the regular season and making the tourney.
We also know his teams struggle once there. That's been proven.
Tons of coaches that have had way less talent keep beating out Purdue and Painter year after year. I've said it before. I would rather lose the B1G regular season and tournament and make a deep March run.
A shocking and surprising desire?? Look we all think your perspective is one which we all would agree with. Yes, the players, the coach, and almost every Purdue fan I know wants to do better in the tournament than we have the last three years. Not sure why you need to post something this obvious, but more power to you if it helps you deal with the rocky road to success. You do realize that getting beaten by a lesser talented team is pretty much normal for this single elimination tourney. It happens every year to a good many schools, besides Purdue.
Where are those coaches now? They get promoted to a P5/6 school or maybe the NBA?
Lashing out at you? Where? In your "emotionally heightened state", you seem to have taken offense at me pointing out your boy's dishonesty.
Having a welcher for a son is shameful. You should have done a better job raising him so that you wouldn't need to defend him. Maybe more spankings?
That’s an extremely uninformed and illogical take. If Painter keeps winning at a high-level in the regular season the majority of fans will continue to support and hope for the best in March.
Why do you keep posting this when you know it’s not true? Only a small percentage of fans think that Purdue could never do better than Painter. The majority recognize that while there’s an outlier chance of landing that perfect coach the odds are much higher that the next guy who comes in will be like successful.
It's not the fact that a lesser talented team beats a more talented team. The issue is that it happens with freakish regularity to Painter coached teams in the tourney. In fact, historical regularity.
Once, maybe even twice over some period of time is an anomaly, 4 times in a row is a trend, and a bad one.
The other disturbing fact about Painter and his tourney teams is that they have only 1 time, beat a seed ranked more than 1 seed higher (the 1 seed differences are essentially pick-ems anyway).
I disagree. I think there's a large contingent, especially posters here, who are kept up at night at the thought of Purdue getting a new basketball coach and the scary "what ifs" that scenario presents.
Thank God.
Literally no one cares about this. If anyone did, they’d be rooting for us to lose a bunch of regular season games so we can get a 10 or 11 seed.
Perhaps you don't care because you struggle to make the correlation.
But here, I'll help: It basically means that Painter can win a high % of games against evenly matched teams, he rarely (almost never) wins against teams that are more talented, and, unfortunately, has shown a disturbing propensity to be upset by very low seeds.
What all this translates to is March struggles and a lack of deep runs.
Or maybe it means that we routinely get over seeded due to his ability to get the most out of his teams every year.
Or maybe it means that schools like Kansas cheat and have an unfair advantage.
