Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone
 

Felt he had higher potential after his freshman year. Averaged 9 points as a freshman. You'd figure 28% could be improved on from a freshman year... Just didn't happen.

Nebraska will be devoid of all McGowens’s next year:

Caleb Houstan staying in the draft too.

Okay Hoosiers…this here conference is ours for the taking.

Emoni Bates to Michigan in my opinion 

Houstan is staying in the Draft

I really thought one would come back. Jett Howard is really good and Dickinson is a beast. They will still be good, but this hurts them in preseason rankings especially and overall quite a bit.

The difference is that Jett Howard, the #38 ranked player, needs to be good, and our five stars are bonuses to our proven players.

Tis awfully nice.

Agreed. Things looking wonderfully Cream N Crimson.

I think Jett Howard was playing like a top 10 kid at the end of the season. Curious if he has a Caleb Houstan-Like season. I hope so.

B1G will be better than we all expect but we are going to be the favorites.

Wisconsin, Rutgers, Purdue will all be better than we anticipate. OSU and Illinois look good. MSU looks down but can’t ever count them out. Iowa has some pieces.

This is going to be a great college basketball season. So much to watch, look forward too. Great returning players. Some “super teams”. Indiana a top caliber squad. Let’s go!

I think Ohio State, Illinois, Rutgers, and MSU will be pretty good.

Purdue? It is with great joy that I say that their remaining guard options are basically nil, and that a guard rotation of Morton, Newman, an injured 5’11” freshman with no other P5 offers, and a good catch and shoot freshman ranked 90th is a disaster. 

They are an Edey sprained ankle away from Nebraska territory IMO.

Hope ur right, but Kaufman, Furst, Edey, Gillis will be tough.  Guard play clearly will hold them back, but they have Morton who can handle and defend and Newman that might be a shooter. I think their bigs keep them relevant. They think (hope) they are getting Ramey.  

[Honkyman 1,670]

Purdue's front line will be among the best in the conference. Newman will start at the 2 and he is a really good shooter--a better 3-point shooter than any of IU's 3-point shooters. Purdue's problem will be at point guard. Matt Painter is a good coach, though, so Purdue should not be counted out.

Guard play is the key element lacking for the Boilers. It was this past season and is amplified even more now.

If Morton is your lead guard, you’ve got big issues. And he’s the closest thing Purdue has to a competent PG. Everyone else (Ivey, Hunter, Thompson) from last year has either gone pro or transferred. Morton’s not a BAD player, but he more of a complimentary guy.
 

Asking him to be you main PG option is equivalent to expecting Trey Galloway be our top PG. 

[Stuhoo 75,693]

Newman has been really bad in two years at Purdue. Not a good defender. A shooter that doesn’t make shots.

Morton has never played the point in two years. Good assist to TO, but 2.7 ppg in 14.8 mpg last year. Remember when we were forced to try RoJo at the point? It’s about like that.

Ramey would help a ton, but Duke and Arizona are after him.

Purdue is set to be the slowest team in America.

Agree that their frontcourt can be very good. But if their plan to fix the backcourt is Courtney Ramey, they don’t have a plan. No chance. Btw: Nobody has made out better in this process than Ramey. A really good defender and decent secondary facilitator who doesn’t shoot it very well and has XJ-level emotional fluctuations has just sat on his hands for 2 months and now EVERYBODY wants him. Bravo.

Courtney Ramey, Morton, or a freshman Braden Smith...who ya got?

Ramey is not a 30mpg point guard, but he's a whole lot better than their other options.

Oh, Ramey, easily, they just have no chance to get him. If you believe what’s out there that Duke has reached out since they lost Keels and Arizona has since they lost Terry, combined with Louisville being on him from the jump and with the NIL opportunities there, Purdue is swimming with sharks.
