All I can say is you don't watch much basketball. If you think that kid has no athleticism or speed.
Good post. Although the poster seems to lack basketball insight/intelligence, I am sure he will continue to post tripe for 4solid years.
And we get sucked in because its not basketball season yet. Thanks for the dumb post.
Plain wrong. You are entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts. Eastern, as a freshman, already has enough speed even by NBA PG standards
As the Boilers practice in preparation for the World University games in August, the newcomers are already drawing rave reviews from teammates and coaches. Josh Bonhotal, the associate director of strength and conditioning, regularly times every player’s 20-meter sprint.
Senior point guard P.J. Thompson still holds the team’s fastest personal record with 2.83 seconds. But Eastern and Wheeler beat Thompson in the most recent heat, clocking in just hundredths of a second slower than Thompson's lifetime PR.
Bonhotal, who has a stint with the Chicago Bulls on his resume, said 2.90 seconds is considered the speed an NBA player needs to play point guard.

Since this thread is a waste (as it's clearly a troll thread as Eastern is going to be awesome), here let me share something worthwhile:
Boilermaker Tailgate Chili
Ingredients
2 pounds ground beef chuck
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon bacon bits
4 cubes beef bouillon
1/2 cup beer
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (10.5 ounce) bag corn chips such as Fritos®
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
Prep: 30 m
Cook: 2 h
Ready In: 2 h 30 m
Heat a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck and sausage into the hot pan, and cook until evenly browned. Drain off excess grease.
Pour in the chili beans, spicy chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the onion, celery, green and red bell peppers, chile peppers, bacon bits, bouillon, and beer. Season with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, cumin, hot pepper sauce, basil, salt, pepper, cayenne, paprika, and sugar. Stir to blend, then cover and simmer over low heat for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
After 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. The longer the chili simmers, the better it will taste. Remove from heat and serve, or refrigerate, and serve the next day.
To serve, ladle into bowls, and top with corn chips and shredded Cheddar cheese.

I love chili and have made my own recipe for a few years now. I don't like beans of any kind so I use more meat. I have found that one can of rotel can replace a lot of the ingredients. Ground meat, two cans of diced tomatoes, two cans of tomato sauce, can of rotel, diced onion, diced jalapeno, hand full of sugar, and some hot sauce (I like Crystal ) from there you can add anything you want.
If you have beer and football, it's not really work now is it?looks great...but damn that is a lot of work.
you have a point..already excited for Saturday. How does that happen to someone my age that just went through some of the worst football from Purddue in my life?If you have beer and football, it's not really work now is it?
You know it has been a long week when I read this and saw deglazing pot as legalizing pot. Come one 4:30 Friday.
Glad everyone is chipping in and trying the chili recipes. I haven't posted a good one for a while, so it was due
As far as what to wash it down with, I'm hooked on Black and Tan's at the moment, so with that here is a generic recipe for it:
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle lager beer (such as Harp®)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
Prep: 5 m
Ready In: 5 m
Gently pour half the lager beer into a tall beer glass. Place a large tablespoon, dome side up, an inch or so above the lager beer, with the tip of the spoon pointed slightly downhill. Slowly pour half the stout beer over the tablespoon, so the stout gently pours down the side of the glass in a thick trickle. Allow to stand a few seconds so 2 distinct layers of beer form.
I think you meant 4:20...right? Lol
So anytime a fan has contrary opinion that in and of itself makes him or her a troll?
Eastern is a very good basketball player, but he's pretty average athletically for a high-major player. He's kind of a taller version of Chasson Randle. He's better at getting to the basket, but doesn't shoot it as well as Randle imo.

I'm betting your legitimacy isn't called in question with your handle and having only posted two messages. I predict a very short board stay for you.
He's not average athletically for being 6'-6" and 220 lbs with point guard skills.
From the few times I've watched him I have to agree. His level of athleticism reminds me of Kelsey Barlow, who was one of the best athletes that Painter has had at Purdue.
Sort of agree. Troll is a term used too liberallly.
The other guy is troll all the way.
You just have made your assessment based on either ignorance, poor judgement, or spite.
Ignorance is fine. Gets us all.
Poor judgement, like the name you chose, happens.
Spite as motivation would make you a troll.
I have watched him in person against big ten caliber competition and I saw a 6'6" point guard with quick feet, deceptive speed (there is empirical data in support of this) due to long stride and fluid movement. He also possesses exceptional body control, long arms and big hands to control the ball. He is in fact well above average athletically.
Welcome to the board, BigJayDud. We truly value your opinions. Please submit them by carefully placing them in the suggestion box container marked "Trash". Thanks again for stopping by.
I would suggest adding 1/2 cup strong coffee along with the beer. You won't really taste it, but it helps the other flavors really develop and will have your guests wondering why it tastes so good but can't place it. Cowboy secret ingredient.
Sir I'm not sure how many of those games you watched at WUG but he as a freshman played well. You question his athletic ability ok I say that may have been somewhat true throughout some of his HS years but due to his growing pains for much of it. He was recruited because of his intangibles such as his elite passing, high basketball IQ, feel for the game, basketball skills, ball handling skills, knowledge of the game, makes team around him better, great teammate, high character kid etc can go on about who the kid is on and off the court. If you concerned about his athleticism and not concerned anout his game than you concerned about the wrong thing. I hope you would rather have him no more about the game than just being an athlete that often than not won't win many games. I respect ur opinion ,but in 2 months your opinion might change about just how athletic he is. Your true on 1 thing you did say his shooting has to improve now that he is back on campus he has time to get better at that. I'll say this he is gonna be fun to watch this season and as his mother I'm so ready to see him play his 1st official college game in that purdue uniform.
I've always found that using red wine and pot together works well although the cook might need deglazed afterwards.
I guess this isn't the forum to actually discuss basketball. So, you're right my stay will be short. I would have never thought it would be viewed as disparaging to compare the kid to a collegiate player of the caliber of Chasson Randle.
It is for discussing basketball. But your assessment of Eastern is wrong and coming off as trollish so be prepared to catch the heat you have if you're going to make such remarks.
If you are going to make comments about a players ability, make sure there isn't information from credible sources that counter your claim pretty easily:
As the Boilers practice in preparation for the World University games in August, the newcomers are already drawing rave reviews from teammates and coaches. Josh Bonhotal, the associate director of strength and conditioning, regularly times every player’s 20-meter sprint.
