Who gets the keys next year for Purdue, Omer Mayer or Luke Ertel? Or maybe they play together? How doe Antoine West, Harris, and Cox fit into the picture? Webber and Benter are interesting prospects at the 3 as well.

@GameofZonesHQ @grok @LunarResearcher I’m a software engineer I don’t even bother to try and build trading bots event with AI the realistic stats are that 90% of them lose, and many winners don’t even beat the market.

@PaintsTaint @grok @LunarResearcher I try to flush them out by checking the story through Grok before blocking the account. This one seems new so gotta give them the benefit of the doubt. These Claude BS bot stories will REK more traders than flashing indicators or YouTubers ever have though.

An ex-Anthropic engineer told me something at a party he probably shouldn't have. It was in SF. Someone's rooftop. I mentioned I run trading agents on Claude. He went quiet. "You're doing it wrong. Everyone is" I asked what he meant. "Claude is a runtime. Not a chatbox. You're supposed to pair it with repos" He pulled out his phone. Opened one GitHub link. github.com/anthropics/ant… 14,000 stars. Every workflow pattern they built internally before it went public. Agents. Tool use. Evals. Citations. The entire architecture. "Everyone types prompts. That's not how we use it. You connect Claude to a codebase. It reads. It understands. It builds on top of what's already there" I went home at 2am. Connected Claude Code to poly_data - 86 million Polymarket trades. Every wallet. Every entry. Claude didn't guess. It read the data and built detectors. First week: +$1,400. Second week: +$3,800. Right now: +$9,100. 4 agents. 74% win rate. His team runs this with a floor of PhDs and $800M AUM. My setup: Claude + a VPS. $25/month. The repos are free. Copytrade here: @lunar" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">kreo.app/@lunar I asked him what separates his firm from everyone else. "Honestly? Keyboard shortcuts and repo structure. That's it. The model is the same for everyone" He texted me two days later. "Delete everything I told you" Too late.

@GameofZonesHQ @grok @LunarResearcher These guys are all full of shit

@grok @LunarResearcher Cheers grok 🫡

@FazeLion88 Mayer getting the start but Ertel can overtake him as the season progresses

I want Purdue to go out and get Andrew McKeever and Kwame Evans Jr. Pierce is best at 3 Starting PG - Ertel SG - Cox SF - Pierce PF - Kwame Evans Jr. C - McKeever Bench PG - Mayer/West Jr SG - Harris/Webber SF - Benter PF - Burgess/Knight C - Jacobsen/Huan

@PurdueApologist Yeah same all I’m saying is I think we’re gonna have a lot of 3 guard rotations next season when I was hoping for more bent/pierce at the 3

@PaintsTaint It all depends what the plan of Raleigh Burgess is. If he’s the 4, with Pierce, and Jacobsen and Huan are playing the 5. I am perfectly fine

Purdues guard room is going to be crazy crowded next year. Minutes are going to be tough to come by. Minutes will be earned. The fact that they are okay with it and embracing it and didn’t transfer out speaks volumes. I love this.

@dathrees89148 @ZachVogt30 I think you see Ertel at the 1 with a target of 15-20 mins a game off the bench, this isn’t a Braden playing 36-38 mins and someone else playing backup pg for 2-4 mins. That can easily change as the season goes on and how players will perform but to start that’s what I envision

@ZachVogt30 Ertle at the 2?

He’s back. Omer Mayer announces he will return to #Purdue for his sophomore campaign. PG1 season loading…

@BergstromPurdue @nickarvinsports I just hope they don’t stick Omer in the corner when that happens to catch and shoot 3’s. That’s not his game

@nickarvinsports Would like them on the floor at same time

We’ve got our first update on Purdue’s roster as Omer is coming back. Expected, but exciting to think about Ertel-Mayer pushing each other for PG1 this summer.

@JoshCla18647219 @Riles23 Only if you let him handle the ball more as a 2 instead of sticking him in the corner for catch and shoot 3’s

@Riles23 He might b better suited at 2 gaurd i think is the problem

probably a disappointing FR year based on the hype he got from international play, but took him time to adjust to the college game and he was asked to do stuff he hadn't done before. Think a year learning from Braden/PJ on PG intricacies will show immediately next year!

@BoilerBoy09 @RebootedDrew @BLRMKRS @JoeTipton @On3 Maybe, at some point in the season. I can’t imagine him starting right away. He would need to play really well and Omer would need to underperform. Even then I think you slide Omer to a 2-3 and have them both start.

@RebootedDrew @BLRMKRS @JoeTipton @On3 Luke Ertel will start at PG

Purdue guard Omer Mayer will return to the Boilermakers next season, source told @On3. on3.com/teams/purdue-b…

@rchalpu98 @BoilerMuse Also it’s not a Braden situation. You can still have Ertel play 20-25 mins off the bench alongside Mayer at times and switch off ball carrying responsibilities.

@rchalpu98 @BoilerMuse Paint rewards loyalty so he will likely give Mayer the start if he stays but Ertel will get significant minutes and can overtake his spot as the year progresses. It all depends on performance but I would be surprised if paint doesn’t give Mayer his shot.

Mayer Cox Benter Pierce Cluff/TRANSFER if no eligibility for OC Ertel West Harris Webber Burgess Jacobsen Knight Huan We need to get bigger at the 3 spot.

@BrianKatz114192 @PurdueBballGuy Right, if you paid attention Mayer at 6’4 with a big body was able to guard their 6’6-6’7 wing Ivan and did a damn good job. He did better on him than he does against 6’2 and under speedy guards who torched him all season.

@PaintsTaint @PurdueBballGuy The past two big losses prove your point. We need NBA sized guards. Cost us the Natty against UConn and it cost us big last night.

Welp. The season is over. With guys like Ertel, Sinan, CJ, Mayer, Pierce, Antoine, burgess, Gicarri, dj and Webber…..who’s your starting 5 next season and who backs them up? Here’s mine in order of starter, backup, and second backup. This assumes no more portal adds 1. Ertle/Mayer/West 2. Mayer/West/CJ 3. Cj/Gicarri/Benter 4. Burgess/Pierce/Benter 5. Sinan/DJ/Burgess Redshirt - Webber/Knight What’s your prediction for Purdue?

@myrone1234 @PurdueBballGuy Right, that’s why I said unless he’s bad next year. If his fg % is terrible and he turns the ball over a lot he will get benched, but if he performs he keeps his start

@PaintsTaint @PurdueBballGuy Mayer needs to have a better % of shots go down....

@gwizzy12 Bench thrived today

Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow Survive the bench minutes somehow

@PurdueApologist Can’t forget c- defense

My keys to the game is really just a key to the game. We need Braden Smith to have a bounce back game.

@PurdueBballGuy Yeah my take is limited. I also think another key is to get their big man volk into foul trouble if he’s off the floor our bigs will dominate

@PaintsTaint No official word. My take is he is going to give it a go but be very careful with it

Purdue vs Texas sweet 16 Keys to the game 1. Get the ball inside early. Force the issue and feed the bigs 2. Braden should eat in this game against drop. Good decisions are paramount. Middy needs to be going 3. Stay in front on the perimeter. Getting beat could cause foul issues for our bigs 4. Hit the open jumper. Should be plentiful, be confident 5. Contest the three ball. It feels like Texas’s only true path to victory is to make 10+ threes. Contest hard 6. Be ready early. A hot start will be paramount. 7. Rebound. TKR should do work in this game. 8. STAY ENGAGED ALL 40 MINUTES!! 9. I see a big Omer game incoming. Mid range will be there 10. Pressure Mark and Swain on the catch 11. Less than 6 turnovers. Texas doesn’t force many 12. Avoid foul trouble. Put pressure on their big early, make him foil. 13. Subs need to hold their own. We can’t go -8 in bench minutes 14. Bury them when you get a lead. Texas can score so stretching it when the chance is there is important. 15. NO LOOKING AHEAD. This game is the most important of the season. 16. Painter has to be the best coach in the game, noticeably. HERE. WE. COME. 4 more! BOILER UP!

@BoilerBurner1 So much anxiety I can’t wait any longer

Hands are already sweating thinking about the game. It’s gonna be a long 10 hours.

@HughJohnsten @PurdueApologist Vince Edwards was prolly the last one like that but that was a while ago and even then there’s definitely better athletes paint should be targeting

@PaintsTaint @PurdueApologist He sure was. I was thinking more along the lines of a much bigger but extremely athletic small or power forward.

Gotta think Purdue gets involved here
