You know Booker has played less minutes this year than Heide, that is what Izzo has thought about him so far.
And if Cuonzo is a great recruiter and you need talent to win big , why has he got fired everywhere he has been?
Have you seen Buidanga play , he cannot shoot anything other than a dunk?
JaJuan Johnson wasn't a player until his 2nd year.
Booker's 11 pts against us looks very promising for his future.
I know you can't get them all, but the kid was from Indianapolis
Cathedral HS. Seeing him in an MSU uniform is disgusting.
Cuonzo got fired because he is not a head coach, great recruiter though.
The short time he and Painter were together delivered the Baby Boilers.
2010 was our return to the FF until Hummel went down.
Cuonzo also brought in Teague, Landry, Chris Booker, and Melvin Buckley.
That 2004 team with Booker before flunking out, had BT Title and FF
aspirations written all over it after beating #2 Duke in the Great Alsaska
Shootout by 10. Duke went on to the FF while Purdue lost Booker, lost the
season. Cuonzo can
flat out recruit. And Cuonzo did this while having
to hear about Keady's age on the recruiting trail. Also got Jaylen Brown
of the Boston Celtics from Atlanta to play for him at Cal Berkeley.
Regarding Bidunga, a roster needs balance, and Purdue could use someone
in the post that
can jump. And he can develop a shot. You can't
develop athleticism.
