IU needs to send hours of film of Edey and Cockburn to B1G officiating. They need to inform them that based on the evidence, Ballo will be told that in the B1G it is legal to lead with your shoulder and elbow. They will expect a foul to be called on the defender as he bounces off the basket support. Edited June 25 by 13th&Jackson 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted June 25 Author Report Share Posted June 25 7 hours ago, BruceDouglas said: Yes, already signed and will be on campus soon. If you add the 2 Euro dudes, best recruiting class at Illinois in decades. Got some multi-year transfers too so may have some continuity for once, though undoubtedly a couple of these guys will move on anyway. 7 hours ago, Stlboiler23 said: Ballo is solid but I’m hoping Jacobsen swats his shot into the second row. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should any of our other transfers cracked the top 10? Doesn't look like IU got much respect. Heck, Roddy Gayle made the list twice! https://www.insidenu.com/2024/6/21/24180079/instant-impact-a-look-at-the-top-five-most-intriguing-mens-basketball-transfers-in-the-big-ten Idiots only had 4 of top 5 for IU Hard to argue….its June and everyone is healthy Purdue & Illini should be good with deep teams….but it might be February until it comes together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdue7 Posted June 26 Report Share Posted June 26 On 6/23/2024 at 9:14 AM, IUFLA said: Found this Big 10 portal report card imbedded in the link @Reacher posted in the other thread... Indiana: A+ Players In: Oumar Ballo (Arizona), Kanaan Carlyle (Stanford), Luke Goode (Illinois), Langdon Hatton (Bellarmine), Myles Rice (Washington State) Players Out: Kaleb Banks (Tulane), CJ Gunn (DePaul), Payton Sparks (Ball State) Indiana brought in a transfer class this spring that should set the standard for roster-building in the NIL era. Mike Woodson’s group ranks second in the nation, according to 247Sports, and these five new Hoosiers should have Indiana firmly in position to compete for a Big Ten title after a disappointing 2023-24 season. The centerpiece is center Oumar Ballo, the former Arizona Wildcat who was arguably the top name to enter the portal this offseason. Ballo was a monster for the Pac-12 regular season champs, averaging 12.9 points and 10.1 rebounds on top of earning Pac-12 All-Defensive team honors. Kanaan Carlyle dropped 28 points for Stanford in an early season upset win over Ballo’s Arizona and he brings some much-needed creativity at the shooting guard position. Myles Rice, the steady-handed point guard who spearheaded Washington State’s return to March, will likely fill in beside Carlyle in the backcourt. Goode and Hatton fill out the class as elite role-players for the Hoosiers. Goode brings three-point shooting at the forward position, and Hatton adds another versatile presence in the paint to complement last year’s leading scorer Kel’el Ware. Purdue: D+ Players In: None Players Out: Mason Gillis (Duke), Ethan Morton (Colorado State) At the moment, Purdue stands as the only team in the Big Ten yet to bring in a transfer. While Purdue only lost two guys, tied for second fewest in the Big Ten, one of those is reigning Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Gillis, who takes his 46.8% three point shooting to Durham. Morton was a role-player mostly used for defense throughout his four years with the Boilermakers, but lost his role down the stretch of last year’s season. Without an incoming transfer, Head Coach Matt Painter will rely on his three returning starters, led by All-American point guard Braden Smith to remake an attack that will look completely different in the absence of two-time reigning Naismith Player of the Year Zach Edey. The best coach in the Big Ten has earned enough benefit of the doubt in recent years to avoid a worse grade than this, but given the glaring need to replace Edey’s production along with the fact that Painter hit a home run in the transfer portal last season with the addition of Lance Jones makes our staff reluctant to grade Purdue any higher than this I don't see how you don't bring in anybody and get a D+...Bridesmaid points maybe? But it looks good to me... F or incomplete? …still think we’ll lose another player from this freshman class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there's Malik Ballo is a unit one of the few who could hold up vs Zach last year on position & boards Doubt you guys post him a ton but pick n roll and rebounding will be huge Purdue will be in trouble if Berg or Jacobsen can’t produce Should be a fun year for both fan bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatton probably will see limited minutes so for most of the time we won't be playing two bigs at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against a coach that you laugh at and imply he's a moron. What would that make Brad UnderWoody? The name may say it all.

It’s silly to compare head to head records especially with such a small sample size. I’ve heard numerous times about Woody being 3-3 against Painter like it means anything noteworthy. I think most neutral observers would put Painter several (if not more) notches above Woody even with the .500 head to head record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example would be Fran McCaffery's 4-1 record against Woodson. Any non biased opinion would have Painter far above Woodson regardless of the 3-3 record. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
