So you had no shooters but still couldn't feed the post? Is that gonna change now that you do have shooters?
I don't understand all the MSU love either. Expecting a lot out of these freshmen.I think the only change I would make to your prediction is the relative position of MSU and Purdue. Like Purdue, MSU lost their senior PG and must replace him. I think we might agree that TumTum is not the answer. Just like PJ maight not be the answer for Purdue. The difference is that MSU lost a few more players and might be considered young. Talented but young. That creates inconsistency. Young teams play great one week and terrible the next. I think that will push MSU down into the second tier for next year.
In some respects I think next year will be similar to this year. One team above the pack, Whisky 2014 & MD 2015, with everybody else chasing them.
If Purdue can land an experiejnced PG transfer, then I might say that there will be two teams in the top bracket. We will see how that goes. I can see the argument against, but just consider it one guys' opinion at this point.
What don't you understand? They return Valentine who will be an All B10 type. A few other compliment players like Tum Tum, Clark and Forbes along with Eron Harris who is a good scorer. They bring in two 5* bigs. Not hard to understand why people think they'll be at the top of he league.
I've never said he was going to be the best new big ever. And I think even you can admit there is a difference between someone ranked in the 70s/80s and someone ranked 25/35.
Do you not understand how having no outside shooting could impact a team getting the ball into the paint? Surely that one doesn't need to be explained. I'll give you it wasn't all due to outside shooting, we could have been better at getting the ball down low, but no shooters really had an impact on that.
This is Yogi's 4th year coming up. You keep acting like he's not a outside shooter. He is. And if Bryant expects to see the basketball, he better face the glass because Yogi has already proven he has no intention of passing into the post when he can dribble around and take a shot.
We had one shooter. We didn't have enough shooters to keep defenses honest. They could sag into the lane and make it difficult for Vonleh to operate. Having ONE shooter doesn't change anything. Having three or four on the floor at the same time, does.
Come on, Yogi never passed Noah the ball even when he was wide open. You seem to forget that Shesahe was also considered a outside shooter. That may have been the worst coaching job I've ever seen by a major college coach, until last year that is when Crean totally abandoned any effort to play defense.
He did, he threw it against the basket and expected Vonleah to get the rebound if he missed.
IU fans seem to think it's going to somehow be different with Bryant. If he runs the floor he'll receive a pass. Not so sure about the halfcourt.
Purdue was considered a poor shooting team this season. We had two centers who were lower ranked. Seems they got plenty of touches even though teams packed it in on us. I don't think your logic is making much sense to anyone other then you.
Ok pal. You find anyone that has PU ranked ahead of IU yet? Any publications that are predicting Purdue finish higher than IU? Homers. All of them.

My point? My point was to BBG that picking IU ahead of PU isn't a "homer" pick. Several publications have us ranked ahead of PU and have picked us to finish higher than PU. Just curious if he thinks that all of these people are "homers" as well.......
