Big 10 Transfer Summary
- Thread starter mushroomgod_1
- Start date
IUBB will hang a 6th before PUke smells the 1st.
That, and the fact that basketball fans in general were not interested in watching the Edey/foul shit show any longer. Never have seen a team get dragged as badly as Purdue this past season.
Even after watching it for decades, their collective insecurity and embittered IU obsession is remarkable.
should we hang our summertime banner now? (see link below)
"way-too-early" is the only thing i'm buying from this article right now. I don't put any credence into November polls, I sure as hell don't put any into polls a half year before the season begins.
However, I do think next season could be Fran's last in Iowa. And no one has really said much about his son- his own son- using the portal to leave and join Butler. That was a very unusual development.

Im replying to this to contribute to the discussion. Hope its up to your standards.
It doesn't contradict anything...what a group of people who's job it is to rank college teams, and then coaches...what those specific people think of Purdue is not what I'm referring to. Media at large, casual fans, probably even most fans that actively follow college bball...Purdue is not on their radar any more now that Edey is gone...They're Texas Tech, Texas A&M, West Virginia...pick a reliably successful P5 program that no one cares about unless/until they make a deep tourney run...that's who Purdue is.
Updated with Gus Yeldon from WIS & Middleton from OSU to Seton Hall; Goode (#124 now) to IU; Hepburn to UL; Ihnen from MN to Liberty; Woolfolk from RUT to Miami OH; AJ Haggard to the portal; #38 Vladislav Golden from FAU to MICH; and #171 Camren Hunter from Wash. St. to WIS.
#91 guy in the 247 portal to Wisconsin, 6'8" Xavier Amos, from N. Illinois. Their 2nd recent commit.
Updated with 7'1" Braxton Meah to Nebraska from Washington; Terrance Williams from Michigan to USC; Niccolo Moreiti from ILL to the portal; and George Washington III back to the portal from Michigan, Also, Coleman Hawkins to the portal, but in all liklihood will go pro.
I beieve Black and Gold forum must be like a deadtown over there. Because you are addicted to IU. I've followed Hoosiers since 1969. Lou Watson.
Reading your post, I am somewhat surprised. As I read it, you are contending that "...probably even most fans that actively follow college bball..." do not have Purdue on their radar. It also suggests that media does not follow media closely.
It seems very odd that actively interested fans would not be aware of which team is ranked #1 in the polls, often for multiple weeks at a time. I would expect members of that group to be aware of many of the teams ranked in the Top 10. I would expect actively interested fans to read the polls on a weekly basis, thus making them radar-aware, regardless of which team is #1. As for media, I would think that they would be aware of what their brethren are voting. But perhaps that's just me.

I'm probably way more interested and informed on college basketball than the average fan is...
And I rarely ever think about Texas Tech, or A&M, or Creighton... That's who Purdue is, without Edey.
Of course what you have posted may be true except that tv viewership was only very slightly less than the previous year when Edey was not in the NCAA Final and rather close to the extrapolation of the declining viewership curve of the past 30-40 years; starting long before his birth. But if you exclude the hard data, your theory makes sense.
Minnesota's 6'6" Cam Christie in the portal. Glad I'm not a Minnesota fan. He'll also look at going pro.
Updated with 6'9" Sean Stewart from Duke to OSU, 7'0" Keenan Fitzmorris from Stony Brook to NW, and 6'4" John Tonja from MO to WIS.
arcb102000 is the only poster to get dog walked by a player's parent on a message board. I witnessed it first hand on the old GBI by Nojel Eastern's mom.
Surely this guy isn't the same guy?
same
he got smoked by Nojel's mom for trashing her kid and also trashing two IU players that she had known and loved since they were kids playing together.
Cav dropped him, but he is back.
That's probably true but mid-bottom B1G teams like Indiana, Michigan, OSU etc.....offer a chance to play sooner to many new players so it's somewhat misleading
Minnesota with 3 additional incoming transfers. They're going to have a long season.
Iowa gets its 2nd portal commit from Seydou Traore, a 6'7" athletic kid from Manhatten who will play for them. Their big question is whether Sandfort will return or go to the draft.
I don’t disagree that Purdue isn’t on the casual fans radar. But who is? Very few people are thinking about anything other than their own programs at this point.
Except the charade of gold and black-bellied losers who frequent this board.
To wrap uo the portal thread....I took the player ratings from 247, ON3, and Rivals and averaged them, and then rated the BT transfer players from #1-52 based on the average ratings. IU had the 3 top consensus BT transfers. Goode came out #24, and Hatton #35. Hatton was mentioned on 2/3 of the ratings services--#267 on ON3 & #404 on 247. Rivals rated 250 guys, 247 480 & ON3 759.
The BT overall was pretty mediocre.....only 11 consensus top 100 transfers nationally (for the traditional 14 BT teams), and 12 more rated between 100 & 200.
