CarsenNot who you think will be 1st team all B1G necessarily, but who do you think are the 5 very best players regardless of position?
Not a bad list, but including Romeo opens old wounds. Not sure a kid who has not played a minute in the BIG deserves to be on the list yet. Did we forget everybody on the MSU and UM team? Seam's pretty IU homer to me.Carsen

wouldn't it be funny if our Eric Hunter earns all-BIG freshman POY?
There is only one player in the Big Ten that will be a top 10 draft pick next year...Not a bad list, but including Romeo opens old wounds.

Simpson and Teske on UM were pretty good last year. You do make a good point on the concentration of POTENTIAL star power on IU's team. Wonder why IU got dissed in the latest prediction?There is only one player in the Big Ten that will be a top 10 draft pick next year...
Michigan and MSU have great teams, but they dont really have star power. Charles Mathews is the closest thing on UM and Cash Winston is the best on MSU.
Iu is more top heavy in that they have two all league level players and then go down from there.
I mean if we are being honest for every preseason poll where IU isnt ranked, I can find you two where they are.simpson and Teske on UM were pretty good last year. You do make a good point on the concentration of POTNTIAL star power on IU's team. Wonder why IU got dissed in the latest prediction?

Yea, there's no point in getting into a Langford discussion with you again.A lot of variance for all the B1G teams, Indiana included.
If you tell me Romeo Langford shoots 36%+ from 3, I think Indiana becomes a really, really good team since I think Justin Smith and Juwan Morgan are such a good frontcourt duo.
I just happen to really doubt thats going to happen, for a multitude of reasons. One, Romeo Langford has only once shot that high from 3 in high school. He obviously is not going to convert 2s at anywhere near the rate he did in hs this season in the B1G, so his 3 point % is going to become a major factor in Indianas offensive efficiency if he is, indeed, going to be as huge a part of the IU offense as predicted.
Juwan Morgan has already proven he is really good at college basketball. He will, without a doubt, be good at college basketball again. So more than anything, IU needs guys who will make open 3s off his creation. Tasking Romeo with creation when Morgan has already proved capable of it seems extremely risky.

Again, you pick one stat and use that as your basis when comparing a player. Romeo will have higher PPG, FG%, Rebs, and Blocks than Winston.Agree. You did leave off Ca$$ius Winston in favor of Romeo Langford. Ca$$ius shot 49% from 3 last year with an assist rate of 43.7(43.7!!). Expecting Romeo Langford to surpass that as a freshman is a tall order bordering on delusional, in my opinion

I said FG%.Ca$$ius had a True Shooting % of .681 last season. Going to go out on a limb and say theres literally 0 scenarios Romeo Langford has anywhere close to that.
I said FG%.
On the other hand, this is just about opinions. No need to drive the point home. The games will either validate or destroy these renditions. Maybe some kid out of Minnesota or Maryland sets the BIG on fire, making our little back-and-forth meaningless.Langford had a career 55% FG% in high school. Ca$$ius was 51% from the field last season IN THE BIG TEN. Very unlikely Romeo has a higher fg% than Ca$$ius. Almost assuredly he wont have anywhere close to the TS% Ca$$ius will have.
We shall see. I am curious though. If you are dead wrong about Romeo, MSU, and Illinois, are you going to come back here and eat crow?Langford had a career 55% FG% in high school.

That didnt answer my question.Its a Purdue board that Ive been posting on for years.
The question isnt whether Ill still be here in months, its will you and others who dont normally frequent this board continue coming back? Im guessing the answer to that is NO.
That didnt answer my question.
I would take Romeo over Winston every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Sorry.Ca$$ius had a True Shooting % of .681 last season. Going to go out on a limb and say theres literally 0 scenarios Romeo Langford has anywhere close to that.

Thank you for your contribution to the topic in this thread. Your opinions are truly insightful and valuable.or all the IU @sshats/clowns that obsess over what's posted on a Purdue forum.

These are "predictions". I don't think anyone, including you, need to be all that concerned about being wrong. The penalties do not include loss of life or limb. It's all in good fun here.That didnt answer my question.

And yet mine are on topic 99% of the time. I dont recall ever seeing you give a basketball related opinion/thought.as are yours.
We all sit on the edge of our chairs . . . . . . . . eagerly awaiting the next post.
