@kraigbowers34 Burgess is going to be a Will Berg. Likeable and a great tm8. But he will be a BUST IMO.

It’s day 1 of a new era. Here’s some things I’m interested in looking ahead to the next iteration of this team. 1. Coach Painter has constantly adapted his offense to his personnel over the years. Purdue went from the most post up heavy team to shooting the most 3’s in the country, back to the most post up heavy team in about a 4 year span between 2017-18 to 2020-21. Purdue was one of the lowest PnR usage teams in the entire country during those years, and then came Braden Smith, and they became one of the highest PnR usage teams. How does this team morph to fit its current personnel? Time will tell, but I’m looking forward to seeing which direction the coaching staff goes. 2. Leading up to the season I often talked about how Omer had primarily thrived in high on-ball usage environments. This year he had to adapt to lower on-ball and lower volume shot taking, making it harder for him to get into rhythm. What does his production look like when he gets higher usage with the ball in his hands and higher shot volume? 3. C.J. Cox has shown the ability to explode offensively at times, but has almost always been the 5th option as a starter. How much can his scoring expand when he’s a primary option? Will we see sets similar to what they ran for Carsen to get him volume shooting from 3 and midrange? 4. Jacobsen had an up and down season and Purdue was in natty or bust mode this year, so he didn’t get the chance to work through as many developmental moments in game time this year, but he showed flashes at times. When those minutes expand, can he develop and become yet another elite big man at Purdue? 5. Players have raved about Antione West all year. I was convinced he wouldn’t redshirt this year because of the supreme confidence he has in himself. He has a chance to be an immediate impact player on both ends of the court from game 1 next season. Will the hype come to fruition? 6. Raleigh Burgess has put a ton of work into his body. He looks leaner, stronger, and will inevitably have more endurance than his first year. He seems to fit in the slightly undersized center role that can play the 4 also. With Purdue’s current front court and Pierce coming in, how is he utilized next year? 7. Gicarri became a much more confident shooter this year, was a solid defender, and at times attacked the rim, but had a limited role after starting for a while his freshman year. In year 3 will he move back into a starting role? Will he become someone that can consistently use his strength to get downhill? 8. Jack played backup 4 out of necessity, but his more natural offensive fit seems to be at the 3 in a Sasha or Cline role. With Pierce coming in, does he move to a 3? With less experience in the front court, will he need to back up the 4 spot still? Can his defense improve enough to guard 1-3 on switches? 9. Pierce had a dominant sophomore year in the Ivy League, and then played his junior year hobbled by injury much of the year. He’s got some athleticism and has been a capable shooter from outside, although it hasn’t been the highest percentage. Will he be used like a Vincent Edwards type of 4? To what degree will his game translate in the Big Ten? He was highly sought after from top programs, so it seems clear the belief is that it will translate well. 10. Which of the freshmen will be ready to contribute day 1? Going into the summer of Braden and Fletcher’s first year, few expected them to start day 1, let alone have the immediate impact they did. Few thought Zach would be ready to make an immediate impact as well. Does one or more of Ertel, Webber, Huan, or Knight come in and show the ability for day 1 impact?

@calvinham5 Burgess is GOING TO BE A BUST. 🤷

As the smoke clears and a brand new era opens for Purdue here’s how I see the lineups next year PG: Omer, Luke SG: CJ, Antoine, Webber SF: Jack, Gicarri PF: Caden, Raleigh C: DJ, Sinan Would also imagine Rivers Knight takes a redshirt year. Do we add through the portal too?

@RMetzEsq @barstoolsports @BarstoolU Ummmmm.....they still smell like shit and underwood still looks like a grubworm who has to recruit eastern euro trash that can't cut it anywhere else. 🤷 Creating a college team out of semi pro euro trash is...... something. Kids in Illinois don't even want to play there.

@ReasonerShane @barstoolsports @BarstoolU Update?

“What did he whisper to you?” “I can’t tell you” “Come on, I won’t tell anyone” “No I can’t. Secret, secret” David Mirkovic is box office

@K_McCall_IN Sinan and ertel will be GENERATIONAL PLAYERS! 🚂💪

Guessing Purdue is ranked 15-20 next year and makes another Sweet 16 run. Ertel and Webber are the next stars imo but it’ll take a while. Foresee things opening up without TKR needing all the post touches. Huan is a wildcard.

@PurdueBballGuy @schlichter1 Remember "THE FAB 5?" One of the greatest college teams ever assembled (Webber, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson) that's an insane lineup!!!! they never won the NCAA championship. 🤷

@schlichter1 Same theme. Purdue doesn’t have multiple pros. Title winning teams do.

To win a national title you have to have pros on the team. Purdue has to either start recruiting pros, or just be content making second weekends most of the time.

@Hstlinghosptlis @jdheimsch @PurdueBballGuy But yet.....they beat the, soon to be, national champions not so long ago to win the BTT. Did Purdue grow for that game or am I missing something? 🤔

@jdheimsch @PurdueBballGuy You were the shortest sweet 16 teams

@Hstlinghosptlis @PurdueBballGuy Curious......what do 20 something, failed, semi pro euro trash......major in college?!?!! Basket weaving?Bc this is not something I want to get used to. Ncaa needs to do something quick. Underwood can't coach, evaluate, or develop. that's been obvious for years, so now it's this?

@PurdueBballGuy I talked a lot to Purdue fans and my work colleagues, it’s your guys lack of size and/or athleticism. Ertle is better than our guy, probably? But our Pg next year is top 5-10 and 6 foot 7….

@PurdueBballGuy Like bringing in semi pro euro trash like Illinois? Or kids that are going to go pro? I'm confused.

@GrantBlackwell @Boilerbear0 @PurdueApologist The kids going to be really really good. I guess ppl have forgotten, or didn't watch edey his freshman year.....dude WAS. AWFUL. And couldn't catch a pass to save his life. His big jump didn't come till between his soph and Junior year. 🤷 He ave 12 pts a game as a soph.

@Boilerbear0 @PurdueApologist Yeah right now Purdue fans need to buy in on DJ Clear path to start 7'4 His 3rd year under Painter Brantley and PJ They know what he needs to improve on and they will have him stronger bigger and meaner next season.

Ertel West Cox Pierce (Portal) Mayer Benter Burgess Portal DJ/Harris hit the portal. That’s my prediction

@CSGboilermakers @PurdueApologist You're insane

@PurdueApologist I’d be cool with Jacobsen hitting the portal. Painter has another 7’4 dude in his back pocket

@PurdueApologist @GrantBlackwell That's why CLUFF WAS BROUGHT IN. and why Burgess took a redshirt. Painter knew they wouldn't be ready. 🤦 And I'll say it right now bc I was right about Myles leaving (AND GOT TOLD I WAS CRAZY) as well.....Burgess.....is going to be a BUST. SINAN will start w DJ as the backup.

@GrantBlackwell I don’t want him to go, but I also wouldn’t be shocked. He was benched down the stretch, depends how he handles that

@PurdueApologist 🤣 DJ and Harris are not "hitting the portal." Tf.

You're telling me "fate" exist and it's not just chaos....... BULLSHIT

@GreyOrchidd @illygrene Didn't forget the to-go box!!! They ALWAYS have to have something to take home.... Why? I have no fucking clue. Why do they all come in 5 min to close?

@illygrene how to eat like a black: 1. pick up food with hand 2. shove entire hand into mouth with food 3. suck off every individual finger as loud and obnoxiously as possible 4. leave without tipping

He ate that Popeyes biscuit like it was a potato chip 💀🤣

@CBSSportsCBB @JonRothstein Big thanks to those 3.... But I've never been more ready for fresh faces! 🤷🚂💪

"The era that we have been a part of at Purdue is over." @JonRothstein says Purdue is going to look A LOT different next year.

My NIL bill is simple. You get five consecutive years to play five seasons with one free transfer. If you choose to transfer again, you sit out a year. Proud to be leading the charge to SAVE COLLEGE SPORTS.

@SenTuberville Thank. Goodness.

@KrisFeldmeyer @JasonBanks67435 @BoilerBall @ErtelLuke The little chub is ALWAYS commenting on Purdue.....when he's not choking on his frats cocks!

@JasonBanks67435 @BoilerBall @ErtelLuke There’s a small % of the populous that are total dickheads. Case in point.👆

🏆 State Champion! 👏 Congrats @ErtelLuke!
