Excellent! IU has good size and depth in the frontcourt now.Just saw it on twitter
Yeah, not like we've struggled against size over the years. I mean, PU's only beaten us 9X, but when have they ever had a size advantage on us? Oh, wait a sec....This one is a little underwhelming, but I guess it gives some size to the roster.
He's a decent pick up and fills a need we need in front court depth, but he's not going to be the reason why we end the losing streak to Purdue.Yeah, not like we've struggled against size over the years.

the sole reason: no, but if he can help occupy their bigs, keep TJD from having to guard them all the time and avoid unnecessary fouls and importantly getting worn out and tired: yes, that could be a big, big help. What if TJD has to sit with foul trouble, injury, etc.... This was an area of need for us; the biggest we had left.He's a decent pick up and fills a need we need in front court depth, but he's not going to be the reason why we end the losing streak to Purdue.
Our guards have been eaten alive by their guards on both ends of the floor the last 3-4 years. That's the major reason. Remember, their bigs still have to guard TJD. Durr is a nice pick up and fills a need. I think a legit stretch 4 could have made next years team much better.the sole reason: no, but if he can help occupy their bigs, keep TJD from having to guard them all the time and avoid unnecessary fouls and importantly getting worn out and tired: yes, that could be a big, big help.

You don’t think we can use 9 points, 8 boards, and a 79% FT shooter?This one is a little underwhelming, but I guess it gives some size to the roster.
Not sure that will translate as he's taking a demotion and a reduction in minutes committing to IU. And that's ok, he does fill a need in front court depth, but I wouldn't count on him being a 25 mpg a guy night either.You don’t think we can use 9 points, 8 boards, and a 79% FT shooter?
Tough crowd.
No he’s not.Better than Brunk. Shouldn't play more than 10 MPG. but good to have if TJD gets in foul trouble.
Now he was a Junior last year so does that mean we get him for two years since last yr didn't count? I truly get confused on this.Excellent! IU has good size and depth in the frontcourt now.

Purdue starts 6’8” and 6’6” on their front line. They haven’t started a 7’+ player against us since Isaac Haas. But don’t let facts get in the way of your narrative.Yeah, not like we've struggled against size over the years. I mean, PU's only beaten us 9X, but when have they ever had a size advantage on us?

Now, PU can't bring in Edey to easily score bunnies from 2 feet. If you don't think Painter and Keady have been bringing in big guys to get an advantage and ugly up the game to help make up for their program's disadvantages, then you have been living under a rock. You have to have size and strength in the Big Ten: this coaching staff gets it.He's a decent pick up and fills a need we need in front court depth, but he's not going to be the reason why we end the losing streak to Purdue.
I like the pick-up a lot. That said, I don't understand it from the kid's point of view. He was getting 25 mpg at USF last year. At IU, it looks more like 10-15, and maybe closer to the 10.
Woodson is impressing as a recruiter..............and I like the amount of turn-over when you're talking about an underachieving team...
In: Durr, Kopp, Johnson, Stewart, Bates
Out: Brunk, Hunter, Franklin, Durham
Durr v. Brunk: Would be pick 'em, but Joey has big durability issues.
Kopp v. Hunter: Pick 'em
Bates v. Franklin: I liked Franklin, But Bates is a borderline 5* talent with a Franklin-like attitude.
Stewart v. Durham: Advantage Stewart. Better shooter, better ball-handler.
Johnson: Even if Rob goes the portal route, it would be advantage Johnson.

Now what have our guards done against Purdue the last 3-4 years? TJD had a 25 point outburst against Purdue in a game this year. Durr is a similar player in both skill set and size to Joey Brunk who was a non-factor in our two losses the year before.

Had 22 vs us in the first game and 7'3" Edey had 20 in the second. Those are facts, my friend, as is 9-0.
- Height:6-10
- Weight:265
- Class:Senior
- Hometown:Chicago, Ill.
- High School:Henry Ford Academy (Mich.)
Not better than Brunk? Perhaps If he was healthy but Brunk being injured made him better than nobody. Here’s hoping Durr at least hits his free Throws.No he’s not.
I saw something about the Edey kid for Purdue has grown to 7'6"! I guess that's impressive, but there's only ever been one guy (Yao MIng) that tall in basketball who was really good at that size. It seems to me that being that tall isn't usually an advantage - Shawn Bradley, Manute Bol?Yeah, not like we've struggled against size over the years.

Those stats are fine. 41% from the field is awful for a 7’ player.You don’t think we can use 9 points, 8 boards, and a 79% FT shooter?
Tough crowd.
Like I said, will he be the sole reason: no, but if you presume we've upgraded our perimeter and shooting, at that point we needed post depth and we've struggled for years against PU's posts, whether Williams, Edey, Haarms or Haas. Anyone who remembers poor Robert Johnson trying to guard Haas, will understand the value of having some size on our bench.Now what have our guards done against Purdue the last 3-4 years?

Trevion may be gone: put his name in the NBA Draft.

Lol at listing the school height for Trevion. They wouldn’t exaggerate at all.

We have upgraded our roster.
Just saw it on twitter
You aren’t aware they have a contributor who is well over 7 feet?Purdue starts 6’8” and 6’6” on their front line. They haven’t started a 7’+ player against us since Isaac Haas. But don’t let facts get in the way of your narrative.

A heathy Brunk back for his third year in the program versus a kid who didn’t exactly light it up at a lower tiered program? No knock on Durr, but the hype machine is red lining.Not better than Brunk? Perhaps If he was healthy but Brunk being injured made him better than nobody. Here’s hoping Durr at least hits his free Throws.
I’m aware your team has a 7’3” guy. I’m also aware that you don’t need someone that size to stop him or be able to win against Purdue.You aren’t aware they have a contributor who is well over 7 feet?
