And if Turdue makes it to the FF4 and then win it all, they will own the state because of our incompetence 

But they won’t, lol

His stats: 11.5ppg, 2.7reb, 2.7ast, 22.8% TO rate, 44% FG, 32% 3P

Not awful for a freshman, but doesn't scream "improvement" to me either. Again, not ripping the kid, just unclear what he offers that I missed. Those stats indicate an average shooter at best, that turns the ball over a fair amount. Never watched him though, maybe he oozes potential? 

He did that to a Top 10 team in the country. 

The stats are just a part of the information.

If he gives up open threes and straight line drives to the basket too, then he's the perfect IU player. Sign him up. LOL

Too soon

Shooting 32% with the volume and taking the types of shots that Carlyle took is different and more impressive than someone like Conner Essigan, who we have deemed "a shooter", shooting 36% his FR year. 

Not every 3 point shot is the same.

Ok, thanks. Ware looked less than sterling and he worked out well.

12p 3r 3a 32% from 3

14p 4r 4a and 35% from 3 as a SO--- that would seem plausible, yes? And that would be excellent numbers, especially for what we've had at PG, recently.

I know that Riensk Mast played there the previous year and averaged 13.8 points, 8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists;  played at Nebraska this past season and put up basically the same numbers (12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3 assists).  So the precedent is there for players transferring from Bradley to the Big Ten without seeing a big drop in numbers.

The MVC as a whole seems to transfer pretty well - Domask averaged 16.7 in the MVC and 16.1 this year. Jones averaged 13.8 in the MVC and 12.1 in the B1G this year. Krikke is the only one I can think of that didn't keep his production, but he was the only option at Valpo anyway, he went from 19 pts/game to 13.8.

At one point, which was the premise of the statement, yeah I do think that.  

 

If we were as good as Purdue currently, and Purdue was as bad as us currently.... 

We don't get TJD, Romeo, and we aren't in the running for Mullins and Sisley AT ALL. We aren't the same, Purdue is currently renting the state because of our incompetence. 

Wait, was Barrel Rick misinforming us yesterday?

SOOoooooooooooooo many good players in the portal this year already.   We need 3 A's and 3 B's.  Shouldn't be that hard but you have to identify the right ones and have your plan in place.

Yeah, I'm convinced the staff thinks they are getting Bruce Thornton.   I've picked up on that from the burners.  Curious to see if that holds up.  The more Ohio State keeps winning, though, isn't helping matters. lol

if it is, it's new (since Jan 20, 2024)... and IMO, the coloring is off... my guess? bad photoshop job.
