Jeff Goodman's tweet from yesterday regarding the scrimmage:
"Purdue beat Dayton by about 10 points in today’s scrimmage. Vince Edwards and Caleb Swanigan (double-double) looked good for Boilermakers."
He also tweeted that forward Kendall Pollard was the standout for Dayton in the scrimmage.

Here's a tidbit more information I found from a Dayton fan on one of their message boards (UD Pride):
"Purdue won 84-74
Purdue Freshman, Caleb Swanigan had 15 pts and 14 boards. Also, Vince Edwards (Who I believe we recruited) had 20 points.
I have not seen any stats on UD players but sounds like we got beat up inside"
That's good to know and a healthy start for this team, especially with Hammons and Smotherman not playing. Does anyone know why A.J. didn't play?

would like to know how much time Taylor got. Minutes for so many will tell more as well...
same here
With Smotherman redshirting, Jacquil is essentially Swanigan's backup at the 4 (assuming that Edwards is starting at the 3).
not crucial since Vince can play the four effectively...I just want to get the cobwebs out of Jacquil's game. Now IF he is a better fit at the 4 than Vince THAT is wonderful!!!!!!
Without Smotherman, this is how I view the depth chart right now for the scholarship players (parentheses for situational use):
1 Hill/Thompson/Weatherford/(Mathias)/(Edwards)
2 Davis/Mathias/Stephens/Cline/(Edwards)
3 Edwards/(Davis)/(Stephens)
4 Swanigan/Taylor/(Edwards)
5 Hammons/Haas/(Swanigan)/(Taylor)
Wonderful and highly unlikely.
Based on the scrimmage & last year, I think we'd go small with Ray at the 4 if both Biggie & Vince had to sit (also unlikely) for some reason.
Drop Taylor and Weatherford and I think you have your nine man rotation. Possibly drop Cline as well if you prefer an 8 man rotation.
It would be a 10 man rotation sans Taylor and Weatherford and 9 without Cline as well.
Okay. I miscounted.
I think Cline has the best shot at getting minutes and Weatherford the most likely shirt candidate. I like Taylor and hope he gains his stride this year. I just don't see a lot of minutes for him.
I do agree with you on Edwards however. Last season outside of his weak defense in the preconference. The only issue I had with his game was his lack of aggressiveness. Hopefully he takes the shots and drives he turned down last year. I don't know about Turner type of player. But I won't rule it out either.
I don't think that he's a better all-around player than Davis or Mathias, do you?
IMHO KS is a much better player than DM, just look at the stats!
Ya there seems to be a huge love fest for Dakota that isn't really warranted. Hey was a decent player but not particularly impressive. Nice role player but not the kind of player you would ever want to be "the man" on your team. Hopefully Kendall steps up his consistency because I think his ceiling is a lot higher than Dakota's.
Mathis BBall IQ is much higher than Stephan's and that counts for a lot. Kendall is very streaky.... I can see Mathis being able to play some PG where on the other hand no way.
