Had a UK fan describe Pearl as the diet version of Calipari. lol.

I was skeptical of the staff shakeup angle. Who would want to come here as an assistant if the entire staff could be out the door in a year? Always seemed more likely to me that the staff stayed intact and would try and fix the issues.

They will probably use the women’s team. S Carolina uses guys from school to scrimmage against.

Dylan Burkhart had an interesting take on the latest Podcast on the Brink. Dylan is the UM Hoops guy who is friends with Bozich of Inside the Hall. Anyway, his theory is that Cals approach stopped working bc of Covid extending players playing eligibilty. So instead of high end 18/19 year olds playing against 22/23 year olds, they are up against 24/25 year olds and UK hasn’t been the same. Now that the extended eligibility is almost over, Cals system of landing the top high schoolers could still be successful.

They will probably leave roster spots open, which will allow them to spend the NIL war chest on the top players.

I’d say he had united the fanbase. Just not the way the administration thought he would. lol

That’s where I am. Though an influx of talent at PG and the wings would have be optimistic.

Oh it’s ruled out. lol

Yeah. NGW who was a poster here and left. He/she started a Twitter acct by the name Tyme. And posts arrogant posts about being right and other insiders being wrong and strokes Woodsons ego regularly.

Have you noticed the same accounts respond to him in a positive manner. I’ve identified 2-3 that are clear burners imo.

So the riddle is solved as to who NGW/Tyme is? lol. That description sounds very familiar.

Maybe he is Tyme. For his sake I hope not.

Maybe he is having second thoughts bc he wants to come to IU instead. Lol

Woodson better be watching UConn and taking notes on how to build a championship team.

UConn is taller and longer. Also quick enough that they are recovering before Purdue can get the shot off. UConn is just superior.

Same issue tonight that has beaten PU in the past, going back to the baby boilers, backcourt and overall team athleticism is lacking against the elite teams. Just a notch below. Guards can’t get open bc UConn is superior athletes. Edey is now gassed. Game is over imo.

Yeah Edey will be gassed by 7 min to go.

I didn’t either. Goodman did say he was told the buyout is only estimated at $4.5 mil. So it’s financially doable. But to your point about being religious at a Christian university is a good fit. With Oats staying out I think UK will end up with Pearl or Wade. Maybe beard but the baggage is too much imo.

They don’t need to change much at all. Purdue isn’t shooting 3’s bc UConn is taking it away. They will win with that strategy imo.

Listened to the Goodman podcast today. Evidently Drew’s daughter is a sophomore at Baylor and his other kids are younger. I don’t think he leaves Baylor while his daughter is there.

lol. Thats their plan. I think they need more than $6 mil though. You know UK and Arkansas will be splashing the cash now they got new coaches. So will the other usual powers. Need maybe $8 mil to have a top 10 roster. I don’t want a tournament team. I want a final four contender.

Well they are right, IU does suck.

Meh. I want Purdue to win. May it light a fire at IU. When Michigan won the national title, OSU went and won the offseason with $12 mil plus NIL rebuilding their football team.

Wonder what IU’s record was when Johnny Marlin played in Zellers last year. Lol

I do think Rabby has a conflict of interest. A lot of his business is predicated on covering recruiting. Hard to do his job when the HC isn’t doing his and out recruiting high schoolers. Now do I think Rabby fabricated everything and fed Trilly bad info out of spite? No I don’t. I think as always recruiting is going to be fluid, even with your current roster. Leal and Galloway could have indicated they were leaving. boosters stepped up and increased their pay so they decided to stay. Doesn’t make NGW correct or Rabby wrong. Circumstances changed so the outcome changed.
