Seth Davis of SI Sees Potential Elite Eight in Purdue's Future

What, Seth? I let you into one of my practices and you say we won't make the Final Four?!

We meant to share this link late last week with SI shared it with us (yeah, I'm name-dropping, as though SI and BS trade emails all the time), but Seth Davis spent some time watching practice (hey, give him credit for actually showing up before writing his opinion) and he has a pretty detailed and fair take on the Boilermakers.

Seth breaks down the key guys and what he thinks Purdue's chances are and while he calls them a "bona fide Final Four contender," he seems to think the train will stop at a regional final.

We shall see, Seth.

(Thanks to Boilergal for the reminder.)

I'm not in love with this line "Kramer is the kind of guy who will beat you up, steal your lunch money and apologize for it later."

I would've written it "Kramer is the kind of guy who will beat you up, steal your lunch money, and use it to take your girlfriend out on a date."

Other than that, I thought it was pretty fair, albeit a little tough on the Boilers. Extremely excited for tomorrow! Bring on the Vulcans! Vulcans? Sweet.



Boiler up!

A fair assessment, but I don't know why....a) he thinks JJ won't play at the next level b) Smooge isn't worthy of a mention.

Maybe b/c everybody else is bullish on them so he's trying to be different? Sometimes ego-tastic guys do those sorts of things.... just ask Terry. Heh.
