A FOUR year scholly to a B10 school for a kid that has around a COMBINED 50 career points and plays terrble defense and has an overall lack of basketball knowledge. AGAIN, not the kids fault. There's a reason nobody else wanted him and if you believe he was a good recruit, you need to look no further than his career stats.

Since Barlow was a dingaling, Byrd is the ONLY player we've had since the Baby Boilers (until this class of course) who was a true Division 1 power conference talent, especially for a program who is consistently in the top of half of the B1G. Ask yourself, could this roster win the MAC, Sun Belt, or Horizon League?: A. Johnson, Carroll, Marcius, Ryne Smith, LewJack, Bade, Anthrop (was on scholarship so he counts), John Hart, Wohlford, Bobby Buckets. That's a pretty good chunk of the players we've seen wear the black and gold between 2 stellar classes, and the reason why we had this kind of season. Heck, we'd probably have been in this boat last year if Hummel....well, you know, . If all freshman stay and next year's frosh are as good as advertised, we'll be right back up next year.

This year reminds me a bit of an NFL player finally getting the big $$$ and then falls asleep on the field. Painter gets his payday and everything he wants, then he proceeds to commit adultery and create a stink of a season. As much as I want to blame Anthony Johnson for everything, (because he is horrible and should hang it up) this season is on Painter and his staff. Yes, we had 4 true freshman and 1 RS freshman playing a lot of minutes, so do a lot of other college teams that actually compete. Painter's recruiting has been VERY suspect in over 50% of his time at Purdue. He is giving scholarships to players that aren't even good enough for co-rec pick up games. Marcius? Really? A total waste of a scholarship, coaching time, money. Carroll? If not on Purdue's squad, there's no way in hell he'd be playing D1. He's terribly slow, can't jump and can't play defense. And why is it that Painter finds it sooooo damned important that he find players who "fit the program"??? Clearly Painter needs to look in the mirror to see if he fits his own damn program. Half the team that HE HAS CHOSEN don't seem to be panning out to "fit the program". Again, Painter's fault. As much as I have backed Painter throughout his playing and coaching career, I really believe he's gotten stale. He's had more players either transfer or get kicked off the team in 8 years than Keady did in 20. Again, how is that "getting players that fit the program"? I don't know, maybe I'm losing it. Maybe I'm crazy. But I swear I saw such little or no emotion out of Painter this year that I wonder if the embarrassment of his personnal life has done him in. AND I can't help but wonder if Gary Harris knew of the mess and decided he didn't want to be a part of it. Doesn't anyone else wonder why a man that has no problem getting down and dirty in his personal life, won't do the same in recruiting? Hell...everyone else does. I'm just so sick of losing. Maybe some of my rambling will ring true to some and not with many. Either way, it was therapudic.

Even scrimmaging against one another in a practice setting SHOULD be better expereience than playing in a barely noticed tournament.

Purdue's total game-day expenses for men's basketball in 2011-12 were just under $1.4 million; unfortunately that is not divided into useful categories like home vs. away or fixed vs. variable costs (and that is no accident - we also don't know how much is charged against men's bb and how much against the athletic department as a whole), but if the cost for each game were equal, it would cost Purdue just under $40K to play a home game in addition to the CBI fee. (There's also little information on how much revenue, if any, they got from actually playing in the game. In 2008, teams supposedly kept 50% of their gate receipts from home games, but that was the CBI head saying this.)<br /><br />b) Pitt's attendance in 2012 was under 4000 ... for Game 3 of the finals. They didn't even sell 2000 to their first-round game against Wofford. Butler-Pitt in the third round at Hinkle was under 4000 as well. Granted, average ticket price may be more than $10, but you're talking about drawing people to a mid-week game in a third-rate tournament. This isn't like even an NIT matchup, and it's coming off a bad loss to a bad team.<br /><br />It's not a matter of high horses, it's a matter of being realistic. Even with a better finish, it's questionable whether or not another game or two would do this team any good - the way the last game went, I think there's a better argument to just end the season, let Painter deal with personnel issues in the offseason, and start fresh with next year's team. zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-89210965822241188352013-03-15T22:32:39.548-04:002013-03-15T22:32:39.548-04:00Why is everyone on here so anti the CBI tournament...Why is everyone on here so anti the CBI tournament? I would say at this point continue to get as many games as you can, get the younger guys more minutes and let them practice. I don't when I ever thought of Purdue as too good to play more basketball games. <br />The figures I saw showed that it cost $25K to host the first round of the CBI. You sell 5K tickets at $10 a piece, and you already make money. Let's all get off of our high horses here and get the boys more practice.KevinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968813190622856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-32697696089958662982013-03-15T10:51:17.590-04:002013-03-15T10:51:17.590-04:00I agree with Wilson.

The starters were not getting it done, they were playing lazy and sloppy, but were rewarded with more playing time. Painter's post game comments were frustrating as well, specifically mentions Anthrop and Carroll working their asses off, yet he didn't play them.

The same early/mid season team came back. Ice cold shooting, selfish mistakes, not doing the fundamentals. <br /><br />I also don't understand CMP's substitutions in this game. Why not use the bench? Mainly talking about Hale/Lawson. Always looking for a spark and intensity and the only option is Sandi? I can't stand the way Anthony plays 90% of the time, selfish heads down play. I feel like Hale has proven himself this year enough to be able to play, and he does the little things. I don't really care for the saying, but I have heard and even said that Hale is a poor man's Robbie Hummel. <br /><br />All said, I am still extremely excited to see this team in the future. Boiler UP! and as always POTFH!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Wilson06https://www.blogger.com/profile/14188168438849191786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-66495043679299638042013-03-15T09:29:36.524-04:002013-03-15T09:29:36.524-04:00Last night was disgusting...especially the end whe...Last night was disgusting...especially the end when Nebraska gave every opportunity to Purdue to win the game.<br /><br />How many times can Purdue just not show up to games?

This team needs a swift kick in the ass more than any other squad in the country. No one looks like they want to work for anything. This is the big ten, not the MAC. Talent wont win over toughness. No one stepped up to be a leader. Same old crap everyone has been saying since day one. I expect all 3 of the incoming freshman to compete for major minutes, because they all work harder than anyone on the current team. Expect at least one transfer, maybe 2. <br /><br />170 days to football.midnigtidiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426235964643172920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-87550698222347841952013-03-14T22:03:41.757-04:002013-03-14T22:03:41.757-04:00Having watched Morgan's "leadership"...Having watched Morgan's "leadership" which seemed to chase away great recruits to other B10 teams, we have a lot of other teams' recruits to steal.<br /><br />We are owed, and in the mean time, Morgan has allowed the Loosiers to rise.<br /><br />I am not just angry, I just want to know what the leadership on campus is going to do to make us constantly top 3 in the conference every year.<br /><br />Let the other schools wait; it is their turn!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270998394592608808noreply@blogger.com
