7'3" Italian Center Luigi Suigo to visit IU

Who’s bragging? I do suspect once DeVries gets his program established and going, it’ll give Indiana a big advantage over many other B10 schools, including Purdue. But simply having more money at your disposal surely isn’t anything to brag about.
The point is you grouped yourself with them for basketball when in reality there’s probably a lot of other p4 and big east schools that are competing with them in nil for basketball. It’s nothing special.
 
Kentucky doesn't have the appeal to international recruits that they do to Americans. We have the money to go up against them for Luigi. Not worried about UK getting involved and most certainly not worried about iu.
Delusional

Painter has done a nice job given the lack of NIL

We shall see how long he can win on a shoestring

That's a FACT? I'm sure you are the clearing house on Purdue's NIL. You don't know, I don't know! Talk about being insecure! Typing something on the internet does not make it RIGHT.
Sobbing on your rivals site begging for us to respect you?

Talk about insecure
 
From an NIL standpoint? Easily.

IU is spending $10MM on the starting five. Likely four others in the NCAA can match IU.
I thought he was referring to the nil of the overall athletic department. Going head to head with them in basketball isn’t even that impressive. Those schools are going all in on football and will just spend whatever the going rate is to field a competitive basketball team. None of those schools are going to care about spending the most relative to their peers in basketball.

And IU made huge NIL strides in FB as well. Having a large affluent alumni base and large business base matters

Great to see you guys here again though. Really.

Making “huge strides” still wouldn’t even put iu in the same stratosphere of any of the previously mentioned schools.
 
Smith... he'll get a chance. It'll be a big story. He won't get drafted, but will get picked up. His summer league games will be fun. You guys will be sooo excited. And he won't make an NBA roster. Guys like Jimmer Fredette, who have much more size and physicality, never made it. The smaller guys that have carved a niche for themselves, are almost universally defensive studs, that are also skilled with the ball. Smith can't guard an NBA chair.

Mayer... if what you've "read" has any merit, Painter would be wise to play him, A LOT, over guys like Loyer, Harris, etc... he won't. Mayer will end up looking like a skilled foreign guy when he gets his minutes, I'm sure.

Jacobson... he's the one I was referring to.

Kluff is a lumbering oaf, and the one I'm referring to. And while this isn't relevant to this particular discussion, playing him alongside TKR will end up being one of Purdue's fatal flaws, with respect to being a Natty contender.

Murphy... nice reach... no... not even close. He was a sub 35% shooter before this past season. He's not big enough, athletic enough, good enough, or even a good enough shooter, to be a 3 and D forward in the NBA.

This conversation is about a potential NBA level prospect choosing Purdue over Kentucky, or even IU. I don't think that happens if either school gets heavily involved. Might be a moot point anyways, Illinois still seems like the favorite. I suspect they're trying to boost NIL values with IU, Kentucky, Louisville visits. But if those 3 do become seriously interested, then one of those 3 will get him.
If Smith is undrafted Pacers will give him a shot. Billy Keller was a fan favorite and TJ McConnell is now.

Yogi is 6' and was a much better athlete, defender and pro prospect than Moze.

Yogi started 53 games avg 7.7 pts for his career. Subsequently a star most stops overseas. It was too bad he didn't play for the Pacers.
 
Hilarious from a guy that never backs up anything when he comes here spewing nonsense.

Great to see you clowns cm here for one final scored earth meltdown
Backed up Purdue being fine in resources with everything they've done, what Odom has said, and showed that one guy his comments after claiming he never said it. So is Odom lying through his teeth after committing career suicide by taking a bad job that you can't win at or has Purdue given him the resources to win? Me thinks Purdue will be just fine. Just like in basketball.

Impartial national football guys were just mocking PUFB unprompted yesterday. Sad state of affairs.

And you’re too clueless to understand my comments which were pretty spot on. That’s an issue.

I could care less about Purdue NIL . This thread started out about the 7’3 guy from Italy , and I keep checking to see if there is any info on him . Instead it’s some PU fan talking about all their NIL money . Great you have NIL , so go talk about it on Gold and Black , and let someone post info on the player . I don’t know if he is any good , or if IU is even recruiting him , so if anyone has good info would you post it .

No one is stopping you from posting info on the player. But multiple people talking Purdue NIL on this board. So you might mention more than me. Lol here is more info. He's visiting Purdue this weekend. Does he commit? Idk.
 
Hell with it....one last time, for ole time sakes.......

They weren't "talking pu NIL" they were refuting the laughable claims from you guys about bot IU and pu NIL

I missed. Fortunately, Odom had proven he can win


He's proven he can beat Air Force, New Mexico and Wyoming.

Oops. sorry, he lost to Wyoming while at Missouri..

How did he do in the SEC, as a Missouri alum?

His first year there in 2015 he was the defensive coordinator. They went 1-7 in the SEC, and 5-7 overall.

Under his inspired leadership, Mo improved to 2-6 in the SEC and 4-8 overall in 2016

He went 4-4 and 7-6 in 2017. Then, he shocked everyone by leading them to 4-4 and 7-6 again, in 2018.

How could he sustain such success? No one could. In 2019 he dipped to 3-5 and 6-6.

With the goodwill he had built in his first 3 seasons, and being an alum, he looked to be safe for 2020.
Amazingly, the Missouri AD did not agree. He canned his ass. Because Odom was such a hot coaching prospect when they hired him, they had pay almost $3M as a buyout!!!

To summarize, your hero was 13-19 in the SEC and .500 overall at Missouri, not counting his contributions as DC in 2015.

But I'm sure he'll do much better with one of the least desirable BT coaching jobs.

Wouldn't call him my hero. But you also missed his time at UNLV where he rebuilt a terrible team over night. More wins in two years than the last 5 years combined. Does that not count? And seemingly learned from his mistakes. But I bet no one improves as a head coach, ever. But he kept Mizzou at their pre-nil 25 year average. Why can't he be a 6-8 win coach at purdue? He can. Will he? Stay tuned. Has everything he needs. Money, supports, facilities, etc.

Purdue is only “least desireable” because of their poor record last year. They have everything they need to recruit and compete. I like what Odom has done so far at purdue.

He has a POS rusty stadium, fans that are more concerned with IU than their own team, A crappy campus, Crappy tailgate scene, Gift cards for NIL, The creepiest mascot on the planet (voted), a painted dead grass field that comes up in chunks, A falling apart little train that they have to push across the field, no nightlife...but hey thay have that pretty big drum they incorrectly call the world's largest...I mean...what else could a coach want?

Alot of the non-biased national CFB media have joked about how crap PU is for years. Always funny to hear it come from people with no ties to IU or PU. They see it too.

IU making fun of Purdue football? IU is at the bottom of the Big Ten in every football history record! Purdue does have a middle of the pack football history, but IU has stunk pretty consistently. It would take IU 20 years to catch up to the middle pack Purdue! Purdue still owns a 71-43-6 record against IU. Basketball is even worse with Purdue 128-93! I wonder why IU fans dislike Purdue?

Since you invoked history, I’ll bite. How many dusty ncaa bball banners are hanging in Mackey? And I’m talking modern ball - after the game moved beyond wooden peach baskets.

It’s a rhetorical question but give it a shot.

No, non-biased football media make fun of Purdue. Once again, reading comprehension is obviously a struggle for you.
