CBS sports listed their winners and losers of the portal. While it listed IU as a winner, it also listed Depaul as a winner. What was interesting was that the article listed the important players going to Depaul, but did not even mention CJ Gunn.
Very telling

- Start date
Honestly, why would they list Gunn as important? He's got a lot of work to do to prove himself. Hope he does, but certainly nothing he showed here would help the case that he's an impact transfer up there.

I'm not big on expectations for a new roster like we have, and I respect MP as a coach, but I think there's a good chance we'll sweep you again, and no one will have deserved it more than you jackasses that come over here to troll. I think Braden and Fletch are in for a rude awakening as they start to live B10 life post-Edey. Of course they got a good taste of it vs UConn.CBS poll, with all of IU's additions as of 4/30.

I got to admit, even though I am an IU fan I pull for Caleb Furst. He didn't play a lot this yr but I would like to see what he can do. Now I do want IU to beat PU but I hope Caleb has a good season. He seems like a good dude.
well, I heard he's pre-med, so he's still likely to make millions after college, but it won't be in the NBA! What he can do is be a Doctor, maybe.
UConn ass whipping was simply an extension from the FDU humiliating insult.

A medical and dental degree aren’t what they used to be. More of these doctors are now working at the mercy of a larger corporate entity. See your local corner “Doc in a box” Immediate Care or strip mall Aspen Dental, et al. They’re everywhere now with doctors merely employees working for The Man.

IU has a very favorable big ten schedule they only play ucla and usc once and at home. Woodson needs to make the sweet sixeteen period with this roster.CBS poll, with all of IU's additions as of 4/30.

Don’t look know, but you just lost a huge part of your offense. Purdue is generously ranked in the top 20. Edey was Mr. Everything for you and you’re going to be exposed next season.CBS poll, with all of IU's additions as of 4/30.

As it stands now, USC is not projected to be all that competitive. They are still trying to build a roster.
I hate to say it, but PU always manages to surprise. In the final analysis, I think Painter will manage to have them In the upper echelon. With Lurch gone, other players will have opportunity to express their talents. They’ll be more versatile. That said, if we don’t sweep them, something is wrong.
Big Pharma runs the show mostly no matter the employer. Why pay big dollars for a medication middle man to complement the direct marketing to retail consumers.
Their roster is built ..
They only have one spot left/ Signed 8 transfers and two highly rated top 40/50 freshman..
Their projected competitiveness lies in how well some of them transition to a bigger better league .. May be a good team, may finish at the bottom. Projected starters in bold.

Actually I think Edey helped the other guys express their talent. It's going to get a lot harder when teams can devote full attention to shutting them down, vs cheating towards the paint worried about Zach. Life next year gets a lot harder for Smith and Loyer.
Yes, UCONN showed what perimeter pressure can do … Smith and Loyer will need to learn the step back and lateral step, when catch and shoot by itself doesn’t work.
Hoosier Nation certainly hopes so. It’s time for the cream (and crimson) to rise to the top, dairy farmers analogously like to say in speaking their minds, just off the top of their heads.
Will Berg may have the potential to be very good. 7 footer with a work ethic, a good head and can shoot. Potential next diamond in the rough.
What gives you that idea? He barely played until the game was over.
I'd agree, if he had much promise he'd have been getting minutes behind Edey and being groomed to take over that spot this year. Edey was splitting minutes with that other big they had, who's name escapes me (? Williams), as a soph. Think they also have 7'2" and 6'10" guys in this class though, so between them and TKR they'll coble together a respectable post presence I'm sure. But, it won't have the gravitational pull or dump in benefit that Edey had.
I think you'll be the one who's disappointed. I think he'll play for a very long time in the NBA barring injury. Willing screener, shot blocker, rim protector, rebounder and reliable low post scorer and FT shooter. He may never be a star, but he'll get a lot of minutes for a long time, imo. But, I am usually terrible at picking NBA success, so you can hope!
Defensive 3 seconds, 24 second clock, and the NBA is not a lumbering Big Man league. See Tacko Fall, Isaac Haas, etc. Watch any NBA playoff game and tell me Edey can play. He's not going to get the BS whistles anymore.

Edey has very clear limitations, but he’s 7’4”. If, and this is a big if, but if he goes to the right team and they have him play 10-15 minutes with their 2nd unit, he could last awhile in the league. Most likely he bounces around the league for a few seasons and then heads to Europe.
Nobody hated how games were called with Edey more than me, but remind me again how many NPOY awards Tacko Fall and Isaac Haas had? C'mon Man. I agree, he'll have some challenges, but I remember many, many folks (maybe you?) on here talking about how Edey couldn't play more than 25 minutes a game, couldn't get up and down the floor, etc... The defensive 3 seconds and 24 second shot clock will be a challenge, but he'll work on it and adapt, as he has each year I've been aware of what a Zach Edey is. He's progressed a ton and I think he'll stick. We'll see.
I agree. He's very tough to stop inside 10 feet and will require teams to adapt. In the right situation he'll do well. Though he's got a significant downside on defense.
Everyone here realizes Purdue will be picked to win the Big Ten next year. Just want to point that out.
