Who follows Kramer and Jordan on X?

[goboilers2]

Who follows either? Jordan came out swinging at the "Purdue sucks" remarks of our fan base. Rightly so. We need to keep things in perspective that this is a rebuild from the last three years and major component that was recruited to help step in for Edey is out.

The new coaches poll is not out yet,but looking at rankings we have played the hardest schedule in the country. We are 1-0 at home, 0-2 at neutral, and 0-1 away, against four teams in the top 15 (possibly top ten today). The PSU game will not be considered a bad loss. We also have to keep in mind the target we have on our backs. We dominated teams for three straight years. Beating Purdue is a bragging point.

We will be somewhere in the 20-21 win category, taking our hits at away games. Does Purdue suck? Hell no. If anything this might be the team that peaks in March and not February.

Today's Kool-ade is cherry with vodka...

We don’t suck but we aren’t playing up to our potential. Cam and Myles have to get involved downhill and attacking - can’t have games where they give us 0 points.

Need more minutes from Cox and he has to go hunting for his shots.

I don’t want to see Furst on the floor until senior night or mop up duty.

I want Painter to give minutes to Waddell. At this point, why not. You kept him on scholarship and didn’t go to the portal. At least use him.

This is one of the tweets from Jordan. He isn’t wrong either. The fact we don’t have any secondary player who can create their own shot is troubling.

I think the OP was talking about Walter Jordan:

You know what is hysterical, is the ones saying "we suck" are likely the same ones that have said "games in December don't matter!" when we were on a roll.

The fact is we are neither elite nor do we suck. We are in a rebuilding year and still (currently) ranked in the top 25. We are no doubt going to take lumps and that is okay as doing so this year only helps us going forward as some of the young players evolve and come back from injury.

But .. this fanbase is filled with a whole lotta Engineers and Lord knows Engineers over think things.... all the time

Yes, this is the one I was referring to.

1. No, we don't suck

2. Yes, we are a flawed team that had same said flaws covered up by Jones and Edey last year.

3. Yes, we do play to win games against Auburn in December. I don't care what Kramer says, we play to win them all and they are all important come March. End of the world? No. But don't pretend like games in December aren't important.

4. Yes, all of the teams' goals are still in front of them. However, lose too many more games and the ultimate goal will be much harder to accomplish.

The people that are saying PU sucks are probably the ones that think Painter has run his course with us. We live in an instant gratification society, especially on social media.

We knew that this was going to be a young team, and it was going to take time for us to gel. I don't see this team gelling until late January. The biggest concerns for this time right now is perimeter defense (but this was a problem last year), rebounding outside of TKR, FT shooting (especially TKR with all of the attempts he is going to get), and the inconsistence of scoring outside of TKR and Smith. People talking about Colvin and Heide all of time needing to step up, and they need to for sure, but Loyer doesn't seem to get mentioned as much. Loyer, with his shooting ability, should be lighting it up every game, but that has not happened.

We will get there. The sky has not fallen.

my take on Loyer , at the beginning of the year I thought he turned the corner and would be more consistent but he seems to be reverting back to the 2 previous yrs where he has a tendency to disappear in games

Except that's not really happening.
