No, Painter cooled on him... right after he heard he was going to NW.
Conference predictions out.
- Thread starter dbmhoosier
- Start date
All rosters — high school, transfer, and returning players are “bought.” People need to get this through their heads.
Ha. And he wanted to play right away, but Matt says you gotta earn it and the kid ran away lol sure.
Lifelong was trying to bring in excuses for Woody. No excuses when you choose to build your roster this way. Just win baby.
And those fanbases you mentioned will never give their coach a pass because he has a few new players each year. We have fallen so much it's just sad. No other top 25 program in the country would've even answered the phone had Woody called asking to interview for the job when we hired him.
So first it was "he can't coach" and now it's "he can't recruit"....lol...you have a basketball iq of -6 and it's obvious. It's hard to watch someone be so stupid...please stop
He can't do either clearly. What he can do is befriend 2 very influential donors who are willing to buy him a roster of hired mercenaries each year.
Please work on new material. Your take is old and boorish. I don't recall anyone on here giving Woody a grade of better than a C, and continue to whine as long as you have. Is DBM an acronym for dumb?
Sleepers has a segment on this. Are the Boilers here panicking yet over their NC recruiting bump? Lose Catchings (who it sounds like is looking good at BYU), get a 2 star and a 3 star and then lose a kid to NW? As I said, Painter's painted himself into a corner with NIL and it's going to be very hard to reverse course and start hitting donors up. Big year for Matty P, but not sure anyone would have foreseen recruiting being this bumpy in WL.
Yep. More like NC recruiting slump. Zing.
Their future ceiling is coming down. Their fans seem mostly oblivious or they just rationalize/ignore it. It will take time, we won’t see much impact this year, but a coach can only do so much with the level of player they’re getting.
In all fairness sometimes it takes 2 cycles to see results in recruiting butttttt….he has been negative on nil and such. That will hurt him.
Indiana will be on the bubble again..
What hype? There's a grand canyon sized gap between being a national champion and being a bubble team. This team will make the tournament with rather ease, that's not in question. How far they'll go is a totally different one.
Describe "bubble". I might be interested in a wager for charity thing here. Nothing to extravagant. Say $200.00?
Bubble is 10 seed or lower. Daffy Duck could be coaching this team and there ain't no way they'd be on the bubble. 6 seed at worst in my opinion and that would be very disappointing.
Hard to see a bubble scenario. I get being a skeptic, but we obviously cranked up the NIL and recruiting. This team is pretty experienced too.
That's fair. I was thinking a "last four in" would be in the bubble. Seems like with power 4 teams, you'd end up in the first four, playing for a 12 seed. I believe that's what IU did in '22. But I'd be willing to wager IU is better than a 10 seed.
Hell we’ve been on it every year. Every one should know it by now.

4 seed two years ago is considered the bubble? Just another dumbass with an agenda.
@Vern Pain by the way this is the type of dude who would never pay up on a lost wager. Not even worth it.
Ain’t no way in hell a Mike Woodson coached team is winning 23 or 24 games during the regular season, even with this cake schedule. You’re living in fantasyland my friend…
We’ll see. Last season with the Knicks he had second highest player salaries in the NBA and no playoffs.
Let’s hope a light bulb doesn’t turn on upstairs like platoon substitutions.
Painter said in a interview the other day with Hummel that the NIL has been nothing but a positive for Purdue! He stated you can tell in less than 5 minutes if a kid is into winning and getting a education (priorities of the Purdue)
or filing his back pocket, and not willing to work to earn it. Chances are he is not committed to the program, and will exercise his lack of success buy going into the Portal! Painter also said, he has the most talented and deep team he has ever seen at Purdue. Note to Victorlittleboy: You can EDIT your own statements, but do not EDIT others input! You may not like what they state, but it is total unethical to revise other statements made by others!
If the statement is so stupid that he is trying to save the poster from shocking readers with stupidity then ethical by the international code for bball boards.
Matt put a positive spin on things in an interview. Whoopee. Doesn’t change the fact your recruiting has fallen off badly.
If someone is looking for ethical behavior why would they seek it on an opponents board and then whine when they didn’t find it.
Schedule was a joke last year too. We were barely beating the Morehead St’s of the world. Woodson is getting players who are for getting the bag not for the culture or winning.

Maybe.
My gut tells me NIL is bad for PU long term, though.
PU and $ have always been an issue.
