Objectively, we still have something to show in order be ranked. Unless there is an unexpected roster blow-up, I do expect us to float in and out of the ranking next year.

And without any portal pickups yet we aren't worthy of being ranked. Go Hoosiers!!! Edited April 6, 2022 by Indy1987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are always gonna be hs kids worth recruiting. As for players picking a school... I dunno what's most important. PT, exposure, coach that develops, coach with connections, winning program, location, teammates, facilities, NIL money... Go Hoosiers!!!

jojo123 Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 What are these rankings based on? How could yuou come up with we deserve to ranked 21st and we lose half our team and our point guard is a convict on the run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like the early opinions on XJ these are based on nothing and probably should wait until more stuff shakes loose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseys4Hope Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 I feel like a reasonable take is a non-top 25 team but still an 8 or 9 seed in March Madness next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s a slight lowball if TJD returns. With TJD (with or without Race), I think a low ranking is a reasonable expectation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 having TJD or not is obviously the big question. obviously many teams have similar situations at this point. that said, if he is back, we really should be a top 25 team, decent seed in NCAA and top 3-5 in B1G. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top 7 teams or so last year ranged from 15-5 to 12-8. It not that hard for those teams to lose a few more. Iu could easily win 3 or 4 more even without TJD next year. Had we stayed healthy and caught a break or two we easily could have won 3 more games. If the experts expect improved from Illini and Wisconsin and Purdue players why not IU. We could easily move up the standings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdue7 Posted April 15, 2022 Report Share Posted April 15, 2022 For IU to be top 25. TJD returns Race keeps improving on 3 pointers X returns and maintains his all big ten level play he ended last year with role players….Star in their role if nobody works hard over the summer it might be another bubble season unless freshman can step in and contribute the talent is there… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...probably the most fair Purdue fan poster I've ever ran across. At times, I've questioned whether this one is really the enemy as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
