Only if his ex-wife bought license plate frames 20 years ago. dwsAnyone know if Roosevelt Barnes is his legal guardian? Just curious if this could be a recruiting violation if he is steared toward Pu since Rosie is a PU alum. Seems fishy to me.

TJ...does Hammns and swanigan play together? Both are paint eaters and neither step out and hit any jumpers.
Great infoI see swanigan as an old style 4. He wants to play the 4 in college , but yet wants to go inside as a 5 as well. Aj would like to develop a little more 4 in his game. Swanigan had a 6'9" player on his highschool team and liked the ability to play in and out. Haas is the only one that can't go out a little on the four spot. Swanigan can put the ball on the floor and so he is much closer to a four than Hammons. Taylor sat out last year due to a foot injury. He is a little raw at 6'9 or 10" and really runs the court well...closer to a JJ build. I expect Taylor with his athletic ability to develop over time and if Swanigan goes to Purdue...I'm sure Taylor sees quite a challenge for next year. The "little" I've seen of Swanigan I think he is not a one and done, but a two and done player. If Purdue gets him...it makes their front line very good. If not, the front line should still be very strong. Swanigan and a good PG and Purdue would have a lot of pieces to beat. A good PG and no Swanigan and Purdue could be very solid as well. Without either Purdue will be good, but how the ball handling plays out will determine how good...
If he comes to Purdue is it becasue they feed the bigs and Purdue has enough 5'sw that he can develop more as a 4. This would push edwards towards a 3 and Purdue becomes a pretty tall team...

Thoughts on Weatherford? I have watched the kid many times and I didn't think he was a d1 bball player, let alone Purdue. He is a better football player than basketball.
Because it isn't his parent. His guardian is an agent....also if he is looking out for Caleb's best interest would he endorse Painter or Izzo? Not a knock on Painter but that is a no brainer. He could go play the 4 next to Deyonte Davis and probably go to a final 4.If he's his legal guardian, how would that be a violation? You don't think a parent has ever tried to encourage their kid to go to their alma mater? How is that fishy?
Also I love Grant as a football player...but in basketball he is an athlete playing basketball. Skill set isn't very high but he is strong and athletic.i really haven't seen him. I know Curt (the AD) Ogden adn thought if I ran into him I might get more insight. Bret Bailey is at Heights as well adn I'm sure he has a perspective...;probably coached him...
He'll end up at UK. Why do you think he decommited? Rosie had two kids of his own that he didn't send to PU, so I don't see this happening.Anyone know if Roosevelt Barnes is his legal guardian?

Most good coaches aren't hurting for talent.Izzo is Izzo mostly due to player talent...whether recruited in the raw or just talented and missed or noticed for a few he got. Bo is a different story....great coach! Not sure if you are old enough to remember, but Izzo molded his team after Purdue toughness and the offensive influence of Heathcoate...at least that was his goal when he took over. Who knows who all has influenced him since, but make no mistake he has not hurt for talent.
Who is your point that's going to feed the bigs again?
Actually Izzo has not had that many 5 star McDonalds All Americans as the other top coaches in the country and still had great success. he has had a lot of players who was rated from 30-75 range but not the top end talentIzzo is Izzo mostly due to player talent...whether recruited in the raw or just talented and missed or noticed for a few he got.

That's not how the motion offense (you know...the offense that Purdue runs) works. Last year, Stephens, Mathias and Smotherman were the ones feeding the post the majority of the time.Who is your point that's going to feed the bigs again?
Playing defense slows games down resulting in lower scores.Well enough for a 21-13 record and a first round exit in ncaa. Also only averaged 66 a game....one of the lowest in conference.
They also won the B1G and played in the championship game...so???Wisky plays good defense and they averaged 71.
That's 4 more per game than us. You guys scored 1 more than that. Is there a point?Wisky plays good defense and they averaged 71. Point being you can play defense and be a good offensive team.
I responding to the post above. PU weakness was their offense but this guy said it worked pretty well.That's not how the motion offense (you know...the offense that Purdue runs) works. Last year, Stephens, Mathias and Smotherman were the ones feeding the post the majority of the time.
Seemed to work pretty well for us...

well the last time either IU or PU was actually good was in 21012 when IU won the big sand was a number 1 seed. Since then IU and PU have been averageI'll let you remind me when the last time you beat that team was....I seem to be forgetting. It was so long and so many spring creanings ago...
