wow.  That hurts.  This kid is legitimately very good.  I was always impressed by him when watching his team play.   Wonder if Purdue continues to have NIL related problems if Painter will be over it?

Will be interesting to see what Gibbs-Lawhorn does considering he's only got two other verifiable offers at this time, those being UC-Santa Barbara and IU.  Not to mention his IU offer was from Archie and I don't think Woody & Co. followed up on it much.  There seemed to be a lot of interest from bigger programs but not a lot of actual offers.

Checked in on Gold and Black.  Not much discussion going on over there except for a lot of "I told ya so's".

By the way, a big thank you to all of the moderators on BTB for keeping this site clean, civil, and on topic.  Their forum is a complete disaster.

Oh… you’re the good looking one.

Hova covers “young-ish.”

Me and Demo have excellent dental health. That’s all we got.

Oh, boy. No one has told you about your breath? I can smell it from here...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Young-ish, but Old Fart still absolutely bodybags me in productivity. 
 

Oh and don’t forget; Stromboli is……….the tasty one.

Unless you like the taste of licking stamps. Then it’s…

I actually don't get all the talk about Crean not using Zeller right? How was he supposed to use him that he didn't?

Zeller is an extremely athletic big man that can't shoot and doesn't really have above average post moves. 

Crean built a fast-paced offense that utilized Zeller's end-to-end speed, athleticism and bball IQ. We often gave Zeller the ball at the top of the key to break down bigger, more plodding bigs and used his IQ with surrounding with shooters, etc.

The guy averaged 15.6ppg as a freshmen and over 16ppg as a sophomore on a team that had another All-American on it. 

I agree and that was my point.

You mention his lack of shooting….A number of posters criticized Crean back in the day because Cody didn’t get more perimeter shots, “but he hit shots  in high school” etc etc., but years in the pros showed that the perimeter game was never a strength of his. Not to disparage Cody, as I think he was one of the most important IU players in the last 20 years, but I don’t get the narrative that Crean severely under utilized him.

Do I say “ouch” or ha ha???

Wonder if it has something to do with PU’s weak NIL??
On a side note I read a lot about our BB players NIL deals but zero about our football players.  Is that impacting our 2023 FB recruiting?

Coming off a season that was the biggest abject failure in program history probably has a lot more to do with it.

Yep, No doubt that hurts but I’m still curious  if any IU football $$$$NIL is happening. I hear a lot about bball but nothing about football.

Hoosiers For Good NIL program has Mullen, Barner, Shivers, and Tuttle in it.

Completely agree! I'm a big Zeller fan too, but not sure he's hit more than a handful of shots outside the paint in 9 years in the NBA.

That’s good to hear but I’d also be curious as to how much they received and how many other football players are participating. We don’t need to be at the $1,000,000 for a QB level, as we were never getting those guys anyway, , but we do need some jingle $$ for the OL/DL/DB etc guys. At least something decent.

I’m guessing low five figures each.
