Maybe piped in music, bigger and bigger TV screens, fake tans, and the circus stuff that seemed to overtake IU the last decade-plus.  Who cares?   Purdue will always be Purdue.  They're the little brother; they always will be, and he's never going to change it.  When Purdue changes coaches, they get 15 minutes and everybody moves on.  When you're expected to be middle of the pack, nobody cares.  Yawn.

I know he was probably talking about the basketball team, but when it comes to the campus and the coeds nothing is making Purdue look "sexy". Hopefully he's eventually able to scrub off the West Lafayette smell.

I was surprised to see Tony Bradley and DJ Wilson stay in. Wilson must have gotten a first round promise (and I'm not surprised, he's a very intriguing prospect). Both big losses for their respective teams.


He got one from the Jazz at 30. (According to Woj I think. Saw it somewhere yesterday)

Sorry I wasn't able to keep everything updated last night, I was trying to finish painting the nursery for my little girl that will be here in a little over a month. Mom is in nesting/freak out mode and cracking the whip. Well, I got everyone's decision but these two, which I assume that both are returning since there really isn't any info to be found and they aren't on any mock lists?. I can't find any info as to their decisions, so I guess I will wait until the "official" list comes out.

Hamidou Diallo "returning" to UK after refusing to play last year. 

  • Per Zagoria, came back because he couldn't get a first round guarantee, and determined to be a top ten pick next year. 
  • Nice recipe for team basketball and predicted shot selection, eh?

Calipari does a nice job of juggling egos among kids that want to be at UK as little time as possible, but...oof.

I hear the same thing over and over about this kid from pUKe fans, "He's a freak athlete!" Ok that's cool in all, but according to many draft evals the kid can't shoot! "Oh he will be great, he can be taught how to shoot!" Ok, yes they can teach him how, but what if it takes most of the season to "teach" him how to shoot? "Man, it don't matter he's a freak athlete that's all that matters."

I am being to think that I would rather argue with a wall, then discuss any type of subject related to basketball with a pUKe fan. Many don't care that their university has basically became a NBA G-league, or that there really is no graduation rate to really speak of there, they are disappointed when a kid decides to stay more than one year (except for Diallo), and I could go on but I won't. I really wish something would be done about the one and done crap. Make college basketball about being a collegiate athlete not an inconvenient obstacle for the pros. Yes, I know that this is how it is now and there is probably no shot at changing it, but one can hope. I miss the days where players like Calbert Cheaney were tearing up the Big Ten in scoring as a four year collegiate athlete.
