    I like Brandon's starting 5 from the Keady era with ONE exception. I would put Glenn at the 3 and have Brian Cardinal at the 4 (instead of Todd Mitchell).

    Call me crazy, but I’m excited to see this team next season without Edey. We got a lot incoming and guards win in March. Balance is key moving forward 🚂⬆️ also the man drop defense vs UConn wore us out in the title game and we had no chance with that defensive scheme…was hoping we’d go zone and either win or lose even bigger. Edey couldn’t guard the post with their personnel in a man drop…and it wore the team out (which affected our offensive energy) by the second half. The offense is only one part of the game. Defense wins championships and they wore us out on that end with our defensive scheme vs a matchup like UConn…that boy Hurley can coach.

    Painter is a genius and surrounding himself with top quality people. In a world of flash and lies and hype, I think Purdue CAN be different. Sure we'll lose guys from time to time, but just like this year, you don't see the portal loaded with Purdue guys, they're sticking because they feel the genuine love of the fans and the sincerity and real caring of the Purdue staff, starting at the top. Boiler up! Great show!

    You two are Purdue. You two are generational. Raph why dont you get involved with coaching? I think Purdue needs to keep getting athletes like JI. Catchings is going to be amazing on both ends. We have seen what Heide brings. Hopefully Myles takes a big step. Fletch needs to get stronger and hopefully quicker and improves on taking dudes off the dribble.

    I met PJ in Maui in 2014 when he was a freshman. The poise and maturity he had in November of his freshman year blew me away (I'm talking off the court, not just as a player). It was obvious he was destined to be a great coach even back then. Then a couple of years later I met his parents at the Cancun challenge and understood where that came from. I would be thrilled if he becomes to Paint what Bruce Weber was to Keady except that he then succeeds Paint when he retires.
