And another thing, I’m pretty ******* tired of people slobbering over Matt Painter.

Do you wanna know what extraordinary roster construction looks like? Stop looking at Matt ******* Painter and start looking at Mike Woodson

WHOA.  Somebody hacked your **** bro

Tell ya what, Emoni Bates has looked really good for Eastern Michigan.  Makes you wonder how bad of a coach Penny Hardaway really is.

He's athletic as hell but he's a drama queen on the court.

Also, yes.  Penny is Archie level bad.

Maybe it’s the beers you are drinking but that is really a cruel, unnecessary, over the top, libelous, comment comparing someone (or anyone) to Archie.

Archie Miller is a better X and O coach than Penny Hardaway.  I'm not giving Archie any credit there, it's just that Penny Hardaway is that bad.  In his four years there, they have the number one recruiting class in the nation twice.  They've been to the NCAA tournament once and won one game.

So better results than Archie all around?

I retract my statement.

You're waaaaaaaay too old to be Yarden Garzon.  But makebelieve is fun at any age I suppose

IU Freshman guard Yarden Garzon shoots it better than Braden Smith, is tougher (and has pictures on top of an Israeli tank to show it) and is three mf-ing inches taller.

If Yarden can cross oceans to say “**** Purdue” so can I.

Oh, Penny's definitely a better recruiter.  But he can't win even with elite talent.  That's the issue.

WHO PISSED IN STU’S CHEERIOS

He’s severely constipated and needs a laxative.

Braden Smith will not be a massive thorn in our side. He will be more like a scurvy tiny flea that Xavier Johnson and Jalen Hood Schifino will swat away as an annoyance. 

After two games, both against 300+ Kenpom teams, the great Braden Smith is now a total of 3–10 FG, four assists and eight turnovers.

And they really have no other option at the point guard position.

 

I'll give him his time. Purdues best case scenario is he becomes Jordy Hulls. I don't think anyone said he'd be Hood-Schifino, though they may end up shooting the same percentages. I think Purdue fans are going for another Chris Kramer.

St. Peter’s/seton hall 

Wright st/Louisville 

Indiana st/ball st 

Washington st/Boise St

Bellarmine/Morehead st 

 

probably  the only games worth checking out today

I didn’t say this year ….get back to me in 2 years when he is craft or bohannon’ing us….I’m a HS fan and aside from Xavier’s little off court joy ride I’ve been pretty thrilled with him so I’m not suggesting a trade or remorse regarding who we have I just would have liked smith in red instead of black and it won’t be fun to play him as he develops ….his sign and athleticism won’t make him a huge impact guy as a freshman but he will be solid and he’s the type that his game will grow as he begins to take a leadership position with that team

A better shooting and ball handling ( just better offensively ) Chris kramer I think is a great comp

Watched other teams last night for the first time. UK (without Oscar), Gonzaga (played outside), UNC, and Purdue. No reason IU can't beat any of them from what I've seen so far. UNC is terrible defensively. Gonzaga I think is extremely overrated. Timmie is a difference maker and that's going to help them.

Yeah, let’s see how it goes when they play teams that can run and pick and roll him off the floor.

That won’t help, but for me?

Even more I think they’re just gonna wear the kid out.

They’re already playing him high minutes against cupcakes just to generate a little offense. If he’s going 30 mpg+ at 7’4” it’s potentially an injury or energy problem with constant B1G battles.

IUPUI went 0-2 in their Iowa trip and both games weren't promising on first impressions, but when the only people that returned were bench players, I figured they'd be stinky.

Monday's a real game for sickos; the Jaguars head to Chicago to play Chicago State, a team that no conference wants.
