The guy picked last in gym class
|
:facepalm: Talk about cherry picking. Johnson hadn't scored in double digits as a freshman since December 22nd. He didn't do it a single time in conference. Preconference as a freshman: 8 ppg, 4 rpg. Conference and NCAA play: 4 ppg, 2 1/2 rpg. And are you referring to the development of highly rated JUCO recruit Carl Landry? |

Oh I agree. Here's the thing, I make no bones that I dislike Purude more than any other college team. I know some of you root for them for the sake of the big ten, but not I. If you knew my upbringing, the reason I feel this way would be abundantly clear. HOWEVER, I don't go over on their side and make unprovoked comments trying to stir them up. If IU's rep is taking a beating over there, then I may respond, but I don't think I've ever went over there just trying to elicit a response from the Purdue faithful. I just don't understand why he acts like he cares about IU. And like you said, I don't really give a rat's what he thinks about IU, but I'm not going to let him get his jabs in without defending my team. Just be honest about it...you despise IU (which your comments make transparent), and go from there. It's a damn message board, no reason to hide behind somebody that you're not. |

Well, Crean really hasn't, but in this instance, when talking about the glaring hole in the middle, the lack of development would seem like a concern to a potential big man, no? Would you rather go to a place like Georgetown or UCONN who has been churning out big men, or go to a coach who is more guard oriented? And I never said Painter excels at it, its just that he has an actual track record. You got that crazy thought from where you get all of your crazy thoughts. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Jesus, apparently suggesting that the lack of progression that Pritchard has made may have a negative on recruiting other big men is apparently asinine. Get a grip people. |

Well if you would have left it at that, there may be some common ground Dan. But then you talked about how the freshman regressed thus far, which is debatable on many levels. Especially when you take into consideration Brum's statistics on JJ his freshman year, which you haven't responded to. It's no surprise that the freshman bigs will play better early in the year, and then when they start playing superior competition, especially when their surrounding crew leaves much to be desired, that they will struggle. Then isn't exactly a news flash to college basketball, is it? |

but on the other hand, if the potential bigs come to b'town looking for the best buffet deals...we've got a ready-made local ambassador in the form of mr. thomas pritchard. huge recruiting plus. :P |

Please point me to Brum's breakdown of JJ's early season to late season play. I remember JJ being able to get on the court as much in the beginning of the year as the end of the year. And him also having a coming out party of sorts against Baylor in the NCAA tournament. |

Calling Lazar Hayward is a big man is like calling Robbie Hummel a big man. Same goes for Novak, who shot 200+ 3s as a JR and 193 as a SR. That Jackson guy was a 3 and 8 guy as a senior. Barro did show improvement, I'll give you that. |
