If Williams gets in foul trouble, they're a mediocre mid-major, if that.

Agree to strongly disagree.

It’s funny because if that’s the IU roster, you guys think we’re a 20 win team going to the NCAA tourney. But because it’s Purdue(who has a better coach), they’re going to be bad.

Yes I have quite the reputation of an optimist on this board.

As much as I hate to say it, I think it’s a better roster than last season and opens up more for Williams down low. Won’t have the experienced length of Haarms or Eastern but Purdue will probably be better than they were last year.

That is assuming all of the newcomers are all contributing day one and that rarely happens.

True. But I bet a savvy talker could convince a hard working kid that Painter isn’t interested in helping them develop. 

In general, Painter's comments were spot on however he may have been better served waiting a week before that interview as his emotions allowed him to throw the kids under the bus.  To their credit, neither player has clapped back at him...yet.

This Nojel Eastern stuff is first class drama.

And I love every minute of it!

I cannot believe Michigan wants him. He isn’t Isiah Todd that is for sure. They also lost Cole Bajema this off season.

He’s athletic and strong, no doubt but he lacks basketball skills.

I can’t wait to watch this unfold.

He also brings with him the baggage of "Treed" his Mom who is all over the message boards.  Howard may have told her to knock it off.

Hunter and Wheeler coming at Eastern on Social media.

Hunter “just like cookin you in practice”

Wheeler “can’t wait to bust yo a$$”

Interesting. Hunter could turn into a heckuva college scorer at some point.

If that is true, Painter needs to step in and shut that down.  But Painter is stinging and may not see it that way.

I will have to say what that graph really illustrates is just how hard it is to win the big one.Some awfully strong programs in that bunch.

 That said, Purdue still sucks!

Must be something in the State of Kentucky's drinking water.

University of Kentucky has announced the firing of all four of its cheerleading coaches and a longtime advisor after an internal investigation revealed incidents of alcohol use, hazing and public nudity during off-campus events.

Teams announced for Gavitt Games

Interesting!

We won’t be playing Butler in the Gavitt games. We’ve already played Creighton and Marquette.

That leaves:
Georgetown
Providence
St. John’s
Villanova
Xavier

I’m thinking we get either Georgetown or Xavier. If we were to play against Villanova.. that would add to an already crazy strong noncon schedule.

Ooh good points. I think Georgetown would be a good matchup for both the media (two storied programs) and IU (extra big down year for Ewing). Of course, Xavier is regionally close and would be a decent story as well

Hasn't Purdue played Marquette twice? I'd rather play someone we haven't seen in awhile, in any case. 

[Honkyman 1,670]

Georgetown stinks. They have lost more players to transfer than Purdue. IU will play a better team than Georgetown in the Gavitt--Xavier or maybe Villanova.

You're never to old to learn.  At nearly 72 years of age, I today learned the definition for "a basket toss".
