Kaufman Announcement Date Set for 10-30

Yet he’s superior to both Leal and Galloway lol.

He’s not “superior” by any means. Rated higher? Sure. But that’s irrelevant to anything I said.

Fact is IU showed little to no interest in Ivey, therefore the casual IU fan isn’t going to recognize Ivey unless they’re very keen on Indiana high school basketball or follows recruiting intently. Ethan Morton is probably a more familiar name to the IU crowd as IU actually pursued him.

Purdue fans get a fringe top 100 guard and act like they’ve won the lottery. Unbelievable.
 
No I came over to see if there was any news on Kaufman and seen the cesspool on this page created by both sides. That is all, no reason to get snippy about it.
And now a second post to let us know that you supposedly don't care. Not very convincing.

BTW, the word you're looking for is "saw," not "seen."

I talked to a big name AAU coach that knows a lot about Caleb Furst. There are a lot of people who think his ceiling is extremely low. He made a name for himself beating up on smaller guys. But since he’s played guys his size he’s struggled. A quote I’ve been told.

“Hes closer to a 3 star than a 5 star.”

There isn’t a damn thing that Purdue is doing that keeps me up at night. I want all the Purdue fans on here to know that.

The only local program I have envy for, would be Kentucky. Although they underachieve quite a bit, they won a National Championship and have been to a handful of Final Fours and Elite 8s. Not to mention the basket full of SEC Championships.

What the hell has Purdue actually done lately besides beaten us? Congrats. They need to hang a banner for that.

Furst deserves a little more credit. He’s highly skilled around the basket and his greatest asset so far is his physically maturity. Not many guys that big who are that young have the upper and lower body strength of Furst. Should help him log major minutes as a freshman.

That being said agree he’s a lower ceiling player if you’re comparing him to the likes of someone like Kaufman or TJD. Not a very good athlete and I suppose that may catch up to him once he regularly starts playing guys his size with a little bit of athleticism. Duncomb and Kaufman really took it too him earlier this summer. Still think he’ll be a very good college player when all said and done but not someone I’d expect to be playing in the NBA.

You got Romeo and TJD and what happened? You get swept by Purdue and didn’t make the tournament... what’s the point of bragging about those players if you shit the bed with them?

WE would have made the tourney. PU has beat IU as of late but they still shit the bed in the tourney. We will sweep PU this year.
 
I think that Kaufman is a better recruit than Furst and I'm not sure it is as close as the rankings would have one believe. Both players should be great in college but I think Kaufman is the only one with tremendous upside. Below is a direct quote from Brian Snow regarding Caleb Furst. As a Purdue fan, I objectively believe Kaufman is the better player.

"The upside isn't tremendous given his combination of height at around 6-foot-8, average overall athleticism, and average length, but the production should be top notch for four years, and he could be one of the most productive college players in the entire class."

He made a name for himself playing up a year in AAU and performing at a high level on a really good AAU team. What has Purdue done lately aside from owning IU? A few B1G championships and an E8 for starters.

3* instead of 5*? Lol

I think once you get outside the top 25-30 kids in any given class you’ll start to see that rankings mean very little, especially the further down the list you get. I admire you infatuation with Jaden Ivey. Hope he becomes a great player.
 
Thx. Will give it a read tonight in the hotel.
Whether a quick view of Twitter, Facebook or even various forums I’m somewhat amazed…but mostly disappointed in the many opinions formed absent what should be required, relevant knowledge in the appropriate domain, but then I remind myself of youthful ignorance prevalent in some no matter the age. I trace this back to the pedagogical wars between a “child-centered” school as opposed to a “teacher led” school. Give me the sage on the stage, rather than the guide on the side…any day! All opinions are not equal no matter what someone might “feel”. Somehow that has been lost in “some” youth that “feel” everyone’s opinion about everything is of equal weight.

FWIW, the “black redneck” was the reference to the migration to the north carrying the “culture” from the Antebellum south. It is rather amusing that someone researches on Wiki about a consensus mental giant due to not knowing who was being discussed and to find in “Wiki” something that generates a “feeling” that formed an opinion of a person ….based on Wiki. You can’t make this up. I don’t need you to respond and place you at odds with anyone in this forum, but you can name a lot of topics and YouTube will have many minutes of Thomas Sowell discussing over many decades of research and based upon empirical data over a lot of subjects. FWIW, here is chapter 3 of the book I referenced

chapter 3

A quick duckduckgo or even google can find Sowell in many youtubes or articles discussing slavery as well as MANY other areas that should be an interest.

Your "consensus mental giant" is a 90-year old sycophant and renowned Uncle Tom, a perfect tool for those in power who want to pretend there's no real problem, or at least none so grave as to require tweaking society or anything else that might upset the status quo and disrupt exploitation, profiteering, discrimination, etc. White Christian conservatives that vote for Orange guys must adore him. I mean really, characterizing systemic racism as propaganda?! What were Jim Crow laws and forced segregation if not systemic racism? Bet you think climate change is a hoax as well.

Not surprising that he said that while on Fox Spews or that the denialists have raised up a geriatric dinosaur to champion their worldview. It won't be nearly enough.

I guess it is time to weigh in on Kaufman.

I don't know where he is headed but I do know it would be a serious blow to Miller if Purdue ends up with both Furst and Kaufman. Furst will be the better overall college player and Kaufman will be the better pro, but if IU misses both, well heck, they won't have any frigging front court and Purdue will kill them (us).

IU has replaced DJ White with Tom Pritchard before and it doesn't work out so well. Unless TJD is planning to stay a third year, IU better get this Kaufman kid. And he will be a good one.
 
I like all the insults about a mans tan. The truth is that Trump has done more for this country in four years than any Demo-Rat has ever done. I just love all the idiots on here that says Trump is racist when we know it's not true. Sloppy Joe is the scum of the earth who hasn't done shit for the black community and now has used all the racist crap that's goimg on to worm his way into black communities. The only thing Democrats have done in thirty years is have sex in the White House and come up with Obama care for lazy ass people that don't want to work and pay for health care which took money from my family. Keep believing in your fake news bs. I come from a very poor family and have worked since I was legally able to and used the money to help my family while black people I know worked as few of hours as they could so they could keep welfare. Go Trump and screw Sloppy Joe and Nasty Pelosi. Demo-Rats and their Socialist views can go to hell.

The Fox is strong with this one. Poor baby, no one whines and plays the victim as gracelessly as they and thou but it's OK - flex that insensate orange rage and know that Hannity & Co. are proud for their part in having raised such a dim and vitriolic parrot. Really, you could be their poster child - frothing at the mouth, spewing venom and flipping off the world. Go for it Chuckles, you can market it as Make America Hate Again.

Yeah another moron who blames Trump for the way the world is. It's just like a democrat to blame others for their stupidity. It's Trump that started Covid-19 but that's all you hear from Biden because that's the only thing that idiot can remember. He is a crook and so is his son but keep playing the race card that's all democrats have. Really the victim coming from someone who spouts racism everytime a black man has a weapon and doesn't drop it when motivatedto so they get shot. I don't give a shit what color your skin is if you have a weapon and are going after cops or don't listen to what they say you get shot. It's funny when blacks call whites honky, cracker or rednecks it's not racist. Just like the dumb black man in Florida who's yard and fence was destroyed by some drunk white guy who stole a piece of construction equipment and took out a traffic sign and his fence it was racially motivated. That's all blacks have everytime a white person does something to blacks is racism, but there has been a ton more whites killed by blacks than blacks killed by whites but it's never a race thing. Keep preaching your bullshit and maybe you can turn some people to the dark side. I think it's also funny that a lot of black people support Trump and know he isn't racist but every demo-rat piece of shit thinks he is because that's all Nasty Pelosi and Sloppy Joe live on. I guess when Joe said poor people are just as smart as white people it wasn't racist. Just stating the obvious that all blacks are poor. I just hope one day you get your head out of your ass and wake up. You are also wrong in the fact that I agree with everything Trump says or does. I support him because everything he says he was going to do he did. I also find it funny that all the democrats supported Hillary Clinton after all the corrupt shit she did.

I'm not sure why I bother to attempt this, but you conveniently leave out a lot of Trump corruption. You know, like Jared's deal with Saudi Arabia for debt forgiveness and Ivanka's chinese patent deals. Trump said in 2016:

He would build a new wall paid by Mexico. To-date less than 10 miles if new wall has been built. All paid for by the US taxpayer.

He said he would roll out a healthcare plan to replace Obamacare. He has no plan. It's been two weeks away for 3 us years.

Be too busy to golf. He has golfed far more than any other president all while billing taxpayers for secret service cart rentals and rooms at his properties.

And the tariffs the Chinese pay. Those are paid by US consumers. Replace the word tariff with tax

I am not a socialist demo by the way. I have voted both sides over the years. Trump is in way over his head. I'm sorry you fell for it. He is a carnival barker or snake oil salesman at best.

I hate that Biden is our only option, but this country needs a reset. We can't continue with 4 more years of this crap show.

talent blended with players style that fit millers hard nose defensive approach. The crop of freshmen and sophomores really exhibit the kind of players miller wants. When a coach can get guys that play their style and are high star recruits you naturally will have your best results. Miller proved he could win consecutively with lower level players that blended with his style.

you saw it last year starting to come together. devonte and Smith were not Archie style players, and you could see that was evident. There is not a player on the roster that does not have a hard nosed approach (except maybe rob). We are not only gonna beat the piss out of PU this year, we are gonna scream in your face while doing it. Pay back gonna be a bitch my friend.

Two posters ruined the thread. We were talking basketball and the two came in, as they always do, and peed and pooped all over everything. They’re easily identified because neither made any attempt to discuss either TK or IU basketball. Just childish insults and blabber. They both need to go away.

I don't follow your post. Yes the cops share accountability and should be criminally charged to the fullest extent of the law for the senseless murder of civilians and disproportionately those of color. And typically over inane "offenses", like a broken tail light. DJT, and his ilk, are a clear and present danger to us all on every level.

But the tragic loss of hundreds of thousands of Americans might be something 40% of the US might actually understand, as they have drunk the Kool Aid. More than one glass full.

No reason to discuss any more than that. Like they'll actually go back and read the HHS 2005 Influenza Pandemic Playbook which was the forerunner of the 69 page plans left with the NSA when Obama left office? Really?

Come on man. I'm a liberal Democrat and your post is offensive to me as a black man. I don't agree with Sowell's opinions much but that doesn't mean he doesn't believe his opinions. A white man calling a black man an Uncle Tom is always offensive to most black people. Black people are allowed to have opinions the same as white people. You can disagree with his opinions like I usually do but calling him an Uncle Tom is the wrong and offensive way to do it. As a black man I welcome diversity of opinions in the black community. It's healthy.

Also I was reading through this thread to read about Kaufman and his coming commitment to IU. I hope. Why all the politics instead of basketball?

Purdue was extremely average last year and still had no trouble sweeping you. We won’t be any worse and probably could be quite a bit better. I like the confidence but I think you’re wrong.

Beyond the slur (which unfortunately is hardly unusual for black conservatives), I was a bit struck by the reference to Sowell's age in a presumably negative context. Yeah, he's 90 -- which means he spent his 20s and 30s right in the thick of the civil rights era. I'd say that kind of life experience, in this context, would give anybody more credibility rather than less.

One might imagine so until they listened/read what he espouses - hardly describes a champion for anything or anyone in the context of your characterization, but then so many spent time in the thick of that era without it making the slightest dent in their apprehension of the world. That being said I withdraw the 'slur' - Sowell is not an Uncle Tom, but he is ninety and his 'thinking' is representative of an age distinctive for its denial and ignorance of social injustice. He will never be counted in any pantheon of humanitarians, social champions, brilliant minds and/or national icons, but rather will be forgotten almost as soon as his heart one day stops beating. One need only look at those who extol him to see for whom he speaks, and moreover those whom he does not.

Going to follow McHoop's lead. Enjoy the rest of the work-week.
