On the road again, just can't wait to get on the road again.

Mississippi State transfer Rocket Watts has committed to Oakland University, he tells On3sports.  Began his career at Michigan State.

Someone needs to tell him the three point line is the same distance from the hoop at all colleges.  28% as a freshman, 25% as a sophomore, 27% as a junior.  Going to go out on a limb and say he can't hit them at Oakland either.

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.

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.

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.
