Purdue "pissed off" scares me less than the 100 farts I've had this morning.

Btownqb wishes he could only catch lightning bottom twice.

So do we have a legitimate shot at Antonio Reeves from Kentucky?

I am guessing that depends on how much NIL money we have to offer. Right now, the greatest ability is availability. Shakespeare got to get paid, son.

It's getting harder and harder to say that the Purdue loss last year was a fluke after continual losses to poorly seeded teams, though.  As long as Edey is there, Purdue will put up a good record.  But as long as they remain as unathletic as they are, teams are going to exploit that in the tourney.  They didn't fix that issue.

Exactly!  They will have major matchup problems with smaller teams and Edey will get his points but athletic and quicker teams will exploit Edey and company.  I think we could be one of those teams.  The Purdue style of basketball is going away like the dinosaurs did probably sooner than later

How accurate is message board and twitter speculation...idk but it sounds like he's 50/50 on going back to UK. If he does enter the portal, sounds like us along with Illinois and Memphis have a shot. IMO he fits perfect here.

Personally, it would be a minor shock to me if he chose Illinois after both Shannon and Hawkins decided to return.

It’s not a fluke. They play a slow deliberate style prone to upsets. So does Virginia. They get upset a lot. And won a championship.

Jeremiah Williams also committed to Illinois today which fills their 13th scholarship.  He's a point guard who played at Temple in 20-21 and 21-22 before transferring to Iowa State last year but missed the season with an Achille's injury.  Williams is a pass first point guard -- in two years at Temple averaged 32 minutes/game, 9.4 points, 4.2 assists, and 3.5 rebounds.  Not a good shooter, made only 23 of 86 threes in two seasons.

He also needs a waiver too since he is a 2-time transfer

FAU may be in the top five....but they really aren't top five regardless of the final four run.  It's going to be really difficult to catch lightning in a bottom twice.  Heck, if Memphis hadn't turned the ball over with 5 seconds left FAU wouldn't have made it out of the first round.  That's not meant to take anything away from the great job Dusty May did, just they are ripe for regression.

I think they'd be Top 25 no matter what. But that run helps. And it's normal for that to happen in the polls. Just depends which way a team goes...

 

12/13- Louisville starts out top 5 after a Final Four run and wins the title

13/14- Wichita State goes on a Final Four run in 2013(losing to UofL), started out 16, finished 35-1

22/23- UNC... Well yea.

Either way it happens in all forms. Indiana got the benefit of it by being ranked #1 in 2012-2013 to begin the year. All about seeing the potential of the team and you're right, sometimes it doesn't materialize.

Unless he's a grad.  Not sure -- he played two years at Temple and last year sat at due to injury, so if he did graduate in three years he wouldn't need the waiver.

I don't disagree that they would start top 5 next year.  Was just saying they really aren't a top five team regardless of ranking.  It's hard to overachieve two years in a row.

Read somewhere he needs one and Illinois fans are not too happy about it

Ray J Dennis announces he's going to Baylor instead of UI. I love it.

Yea, pretty sure some aren’t happy he filled the last spot if he can’t play

My Screaming Eagles landed a big transfer in UConn’s Yarin Hasson this morning 

[Henryville Hoosier]

Reeves or Mongo Mike? Who do you prefer? I might be in the minority, but I'm leaning towards MM , I like his size, court vision, and his ball handing. I think his shooting could improve with some good coaching.

Reeves.  Wouldn't tie up a scholarship for upcoming classes, put up better numbers against better competition, and he's 6'4 so not exactly small.  We need shooting/scoring that the Dayton kid hasn't shown yet.

Reeves and it isn't even close.
