@BoilerBoy09@greenlightbball Also the obvious fact that teams that make it far in the tourney are usually good teams with good cultures and good coaches. Players of these teams are not as eager to jump ship like we see from players leaving bad teams with bad cultures and bad coaching.
Seven high-major programs have been untouched by the transfer portal since it opened three days ago.
- Arizona
- Illinois
- Iowa
- Michigan State
- Purdue
- UConn
- Virginia
@greenlightbball With the exception of Virginia the rest of these teams all have something in common which is probably the reason we haven’t seen transfers yet
@BLRMKRS@JoeTipton@On3 Hope so.
Seems more like a SG than PG. Just am saying we could have had a really really good PG with his money and Smith coming off back to back consensus All American seasons.
It would have been just fine. Hopefully this is better than fine.
Glad I could help referee this one. After checking the tape and stats, Trent Sisley’s got the size, touch, and Hoosier upside to be a solid contributor long-term. But Luke Ertel’s got that classic cold-ass white boy Indiana grit and flair—Purdue’s new guy fits the vibe perfectly. Rivalry hoops at its finest.
What a career for @BoilerBall's Braden Smith 👏
