Kofi and Curbelo are two pretty nice pieces to build around, but nevertheless, if we aren't better than Illinois I'd be shocked.

Yeah I think kofi and curbelo can get them to the tournament.

But Ayo and Trent Frazier were so good. And took a lot pressure off kofi

I see them as a top 5 team.  Could ge a top team.  Purdue historically has a hard time being the hunted and does a much better job being the hunter, so based on history I’ll knock them a few spots. 

no reason they shouldn’t be really good. Great recruiting class with some bonafide players.  

Quite possibly Painters best team.

Paul Lusk is returning to Purdue to be an assistant for Painter.

Interesting piece from the Duke student newspaper. I think this kid does a good job of taking a practical look at what might happen when Coach K calls it quits. He wrote this in the wake of the Roy Williams retirement.

He figures Duke will follow a similar path as those hated neighbors 8 miles away and go with the long-time assistant -- Jon Scheyer. He says while everyone would love Jay Wright and/or Brad Stevens -- they're probably not realistic options. 

I happened upon a podcast/youtube video from a national college basketball "expert" on UNC's search before they hired Hubert. He said they should go after Stevens, Few, Oates and Stevens. Well -- yeah. And if I'm looking for a girlfriend, I would want to go after Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba or Kate Upton. 

That same dude also opined on IU -- and was pretty far off base.

Great story on Bert Smith, the referee who collapsed during the Gonzaga - So. Cal. game in the NCAA tourney.  Turns out he had a blood clot in a lung.

How will Shaka do at Marquette? I say he will be much better off. Big East is kind of a Tweener when it comes to conference status. It used to be a power conference but I wouldn't consider it one now. But I also wouldn't consider it a mid major. I remember on College Hoops 2K8, there were small, mid major, major and power conferences. I think I'd put the Big East as a "major" conference. Maybe all by itself. It's not nearly as strong as the Big 12 was. It's really just Villanova and some teams that were mid to bottom tier Big East teams. I could see Marquette being a Top 3 Big East team under Shaka.

West Virginia is the only team I have in the Top 25 out of all of those. Teams like St. Bonaventure and Belmont have lots to prove.

#OKState assistant Cannen Cunningham and the Cowboys have mutually agreed to part ways. 

Cannen is going to help manage his brother, Cade's, NBA career. 

Lol

I’m not sure who is in your top 25 but St Bonaventure will start the year out in the Ap top 25

Oklahoma State and assistant coach Cannen Cunningham after 2 seasons.

A preseason poll with Purdue #1 might be the funniest, biggest hot take of all hot takes that I've ever seen on this board.

With what they have coming back and coming in.. it is Painters best shot. They *should* be the best team in the Big Ten. They will definitely be a Top 5 team to start the season. Will be interesting if they can handle being the hunted.

ESPN’s way too early top 25 put them at #3.
