Ugh. Our starting 5 should be selected from no more than the below 6 players assuming all are with us next year Xavier JHS Tamar Bates Race Geronimo TJD Obviously the roster can still shake up a bit between now and November.

Not the end of the world then, I think we can find a better fit imo.

I think this dude will be a Hoosier.

Yeah, Geronimo is a player I want back just as much as Trayce. If someone has to leave in order for him to be retained, then so be it. How would we have done against Wyoming without JG? I'm still convinced we'd have won the BTT with a healthy Geronimo.

Keep in mind on Pack - he'd make Purdue a fringe top 25 team. He's a very good player, not a huge difference maker though.

Yep, there are B1G teams who are trying to flip the script. Us, UM, Maryland, and Illinois I feel are trying to forge a new style. Iowa to an extent.

No B1G team likely to start the year in the top 10. Also neither MSU nor UW on this list. If we get Trayce back, no reason to think we can't compete for the B1G next year. There I said it.

I love this group, this would be my favorite starting lineup since Yogi's and Thomas Bryant's last year.

Wow. That'd be wild.

Can someone who speaks "social media" translate this? Is Reanu the one who said "they see this duo"?

I think that every time I hear it. I guarantee the play by play guy (Jim Nantz in this case) thinks "Why do I have to wait for him to say this?"

If we're able to pry Reneau away from the state of Florida, then wow. Get him on campus and I'll give us a puncher's chance at landing him. Really impressive player with nice footwork. Not high-level athlete but that's ok. I love his defensive capabilities from day 1 too.

Hopefully the excitement of his visit still resonates with him. It's gonna be tough to fight off BU and Villanova with their recent success. They've been unarguably two of the top programs in CBB the last 5 years.

Not buying it. If balls are gonna be slapped around the B1G next season, it will have to be done by someone other than Brad Davison.

Dang, I really thought Williams was 100% done. I'm really hoping we're not forced to watch him take multiple steps every time he catches the ball down low next year. He must have traveled 4 times during the St Peter's game and none were called. He is good though.

Style or makeup of roster doesn't matter when you can't hit shots. That's been our problem for forever. Shooting covers up a lot of other deficiencies.

I didn't want to jinx it, but I was always highly doubtful whenever people predicted this was Purdue's year to win it all potentially. Their roster top to bottom is not as impressive as people thought it was. Just because Trey Kaufman redshirted doesn't mean they were that stacked. There were even some iu fans thinking they'd run the table in conference. Crazy how their best team in a while didn't win any hardware whatsoever.

Good, I honestly want him back a lot more than some guys who are still here. He's got a lot of value, maybe just not as a 35 mpg type of guy. On the list of players I've wanted to succeed here, he's at the top along with Maurice Creek.

I'll be a huge fan of wherever Phinisee goes. I'm hoping he stays healthy for an entire year and tears it up. He always seemed like a great kid, and I hate it for him how many setbacks he suffered during his time here.

Doubt he wants to muck it up in the B1G. He's where he belongs.

They did get a great draw, but I think UNC handles them with how well they've been playing lately. Still, they'll get to another elite 8 which means Butler, ND, and Purdue will get to 2 Elite 8s since we've been to our last one.

Sounds like Durr is gone.

Losing Geronimo would suck, plain and simple. Even if it means we get TJD and Race back.

I wonder how much of our defensive improvement was due to Dane Fife. I always figured he was pretty instrumental there, and he had good experience recruiting in this conference. Sad it didn't work out, but more perplexed by it all. Ultimately it seems this is on Dolson. Why hire an assistant before the head coach?

The staff probably already has a good idea of who they expect to lose. Maybe they never expect Duncomb to contribute at this level, and Sparks provides an upgrade there. A lot still needs to happen, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea of adding Sparks even if we keep Race and Trayce. If we lose Durr and Duncomb, we'll need another big body.
