We will prove them wrong and I like being a sleeper. We excel typically when people overlook us like that. Indiana added a good player so will get some attention for it as MSU is MSU because of Izzo.
Don’t you like the unknowns makes for a season that nobody seems to think Purdue have players on the roster that can’t replace the production of 4 incredible seniors who left there place in Purdue history. Well I love the unknowns because all those questions will be answered in about 2 months and to me it’s gonna be fun to watch every single question being answered as these boys finally get to play ball. As I’ve stated on many occasions Purdue brings back as much experience as many teams ahead of them only differences those 3/4 guys just didn’t as many min as some of the other players on those teams they will this season. Look at each roster of the big 10 look at what each team lost what returns and their recruiting class plz tell me how different are the rosters from actual on court experience. Production will stand out I’m sure but the experience of playing in college games on the road in hostile environments those 3/4 players played in those games same as the returners of the teams they will face. Purdue 3/4 guys however did play in the big 10 tournament including championship game some of those players who returns didn’t and remember only 4 teams made the NCAA tournament and Purdue 3/4 players all got to experience and play 3 games all the way to the sweet 16 that many returning players on those experienced team didn’t. What separates Purdue lack of experience are min played together now they will play a lot more together to build the same kinda chemistry that those 4 seniors got to do for 4 years. I’m very optimistic of what this team gonna look like with some games under their belt I would not sleep on this team they may surprise many once they finally get to play more minutes together while the other players be implemented at their pace but brings a lot to this team once they get some games under their belt to. Carsen wont be by himself I’m confident that others gonna step up big time.
LOL! They put on their capes and swoop in to defend their poor, defenseless players and school. Fun to watch.
Actually yes.... I mean he is a decent college player and that is fine but I don't think he is all that. He doesn't seem athletic enough for the NBA to me. He can't shoot free throws worth a darn; can't shoot the 3 and is a bit undersized. And if that is not enough he plays for the wrong team.

Agree with your assessment about Painter. Not going to rag on Happ too much more, but I think he is a little over-rated and his game isn't as versatile as it could be. Can't wait for the season to begin; we will see. I think as long as Carsen gets good support from his teammates which I think he will, I think he will be the Big Ten POY and perhaps even national POY.
Lack of real talent???
I actually agree about Happ being overrated. He’s made a career of abusing inferior opponents. When he goes up against people he can’t physically overmatch under the basket, he’s got nothing.
On 9 of 20 from the floor...
Agree to disagree. When I watch him play I see a guy that can’t shoot past 5 feet or FT. I am NOT saying he is a bad player. But in my opinion he’s not what a lot of people sell him to be.
They beat us because our offense was terrible. I am not saying Happ is a bad player, he’s just not as good as people say, in my opinion.
I don’t disagree at all. I just haven’t seen enough out of him to be able to believe he’s a top 5 player as some have said. Top 10-20 without a doubt though.
Overrated is relative. If somebody says he’s top 5 and I think he’s more like 20, then to my evaluation they are overrating him. Saying something is overrated is not the same as saying they are not good.
Do you actually watch games or just look at per game numbers? I’m clearly stating that I’ve watched him play and I don’t think he’s as good as advertised. I don’t understand how stating an opinion about a player who I’ve stated I believe is good is so offensive to you.
I just said he was top 10-20, so I don’t know how that’s saying he’s not a top player. Overrated is a very simple word. It means rated higher than they should be. It does not equal bad. A lot of people think he’s the best big man in the country. I think that is rating him higher than he should be. You guys clearly just want to argue about something, so I won’t be responding any further.
