Never like to see that. Hopefully his mind is in the right place and he can find something else he's passionate about. Best of luck.

Miles Bridges looks SO good. Watching him in BTN exhibition.

Should be interesting to see him play C. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Fwiw. They have 5 star Jackson and 4 star Tillman.

Michigan St picked up three CrystalBall votes today - one from Jerry Meyer - for five-star Brandon McCoy. Will officially visit Nov 18.

Apparently more of a story to Ryan Cline's off-court problems at PUke.  His suspension has been increased to include their 2 exhibition games and the first 4 regular season games.

Arrested in June with weed, 

While asleep at the wheel with his foot on the accelerator,

AT 9:53 AM!!!

Oh...and apparently, he neglected to tell the coaching staff that any of this happenned.

The young man likely has some real personal issues.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

and all he gets is a 1 (3) game suspension?  ridiculous.

As of this morning the suspension is up to six games.

Purdoodoo has some nice pieces, but the heart and soul of that team last year, their absolute locker room leader, a high-class kid who played with focus and intensity (but not many offensive skills) and an All-B1G defender is gone.

That team is already missing Ray Davis big-time.

Purdoodoo is a Haas or Swanigan injury or foul-troubled game away from not being a very good team.

I'd take Michigan or Ohio State over them in the B1G standings this year for sure.

The few people who pay attention to pur basketball seem to be bashing Painter for fumbling the Cline suspension.

In the last five years, 24 percent of all first-round D-I picks who did not play in the preceding NCAA tournament have come from Washington.

And yet KenPom has them ahead of us.

I don't get it either.

I don't think Kenpom takes into account overall roster balance.

Yet again watching another exhibition game and going to go watch Butler again tomorrow. Ah my favorite time of the year has returned.

He's been charged with marijuana possession twice and all he gets is 6 games? Bullsh*t when you consider we had two kids sit 9 games for something they didn't even do.

Yep. What's worse is the Goodell-Esque revised suspension. Definitely not a proud Purdue day.

We've been there recently. Always happy when the news in coming from someone else's yard.
