Also, their new 7'2" stiff Berg is a Ginger. I thought that needed to be stated. 

Still makes me laugh when I remember his comment about our fans having bad manners. Our crowd is going to have fun with him after his first mistake.

Well Edey returning very firmly places them somewhere 1-3 in the polls to begin the year.

Highly ranked, yes, but I don't see them overtaking Kansas to get to #1 in the initial polls.

I didn’t say they’ll pull a Virginia, only that one bad upset doesn’t invalidate their squad.  They lost in the S16 before that and to that Virginia squad (just barely) in the E8 not long ago. We haven’t been that far in two decades. 
 

They have a good team coming back. They’ll be favorites to finish high in the conf. What they do in the tourney doesn’t concern me much because we likely won’t face them there. We’ll definitely see them twice in the B1G. 

The one bad loss doesn't invalidate their squad but their squad was never as good as it was hyped to be either. 

They got a tremendous amount of hype mileage out of beating subpar Gonzaga and Duke teams early and then were gifted a Charmin soft first half of the conference schedule. Worse for them, I don't really see that they addressed their glaring weaknesses in the offseason.

Guessing he's just trying to squeeze more NIL money out of Kentucky, I mean they need him.

Don't squeeze the Charmin.

Mongolian Mike!! 

If he commits, I'd be happy to have him. If there's one thing we can be confident in, it is that Woody is not going to promise starts, playing time or otherwise blow smoke. A commitment would indicate he's at least open to coaching and competing for playing time. 

The kid definitely has some tools. If he is willing to accept coaching and works hard, he could be a dynamic player capable of making things happen on the court. My biggest concern would be his lack of strength, if he can improve any in that area and learn how to use the strength he has better, he could be a matchup nightmare for opposing teams.

They may not but they'll have a case. College basketball wise, Edey is just that good. Will Purdue have the season they had last year? No clue but they'll be good and I'm sure they'll be pissed.

Head to head, I simply can't see Purdue matching up with Kansas.  Dickinson with proper coaching makes the Edey advantage minute and Kansas' 2-5 are better at every spot.

They were pissed before the Fairleigh Dickinson game:

He feasted on Purdue at UM too. Averaged about 20-5-2 in 4 career games on 54% FG and 56% from 3 on 4 attempts/game. Rebound numbers were down, but only averaged more points against OSU in-conference.

Probably a better bench, too.

Kansas is the clear #1 entering next season.
