Maybe Barry will just resign before firing Kane at this point.
Getting late early. His hiring of Kane, followed by refusal to move on from him, is a sign of a guy that just doesn’t have a handle on things. Feels like he’s keeping Kane as long as possible so Kane can be the scapegoat this offseason in hopes of keeping his own job.
And as we all know, Painter success always relied entirely on having Braden 😂 what a clown
Mick Cronin on Nikola Kusturica's start with @UCLAMBB:
"It's recruiting. Purdue lost at home tonight to Valpo. And Matt Painter's one of the best people and coaches in our business. But Braden Smith ain't running out of that tunnel. (Nikola) is a great player. Not a good player, a great player."
West has shown no creation ability for others so he’d have to be a BIGTIME scorer. Ertel has looked okay, and we need to see more, but doesn’t look ready to take over. Mayer is the guy who looks ready, facilitates better than the other 2 so far, and gets decent looks.
The worst part of how bad the guards are is Daniel has exceeded our wildest expectations. What a stud he is for putting up with everyone’s doubts and just killing it for Purdue through two games.
Hey @KevinSavage_K3 is it too late to reclass because we might have a job opening
As expected, all of Purdue best players are big men. Literally, I think the four best players of the half were DJ, Benter, Pierce, and Burgess. Omer Mayer with 4 assists and no turnovers is a silver lining, but he’s apparently the worst shooter of all time lol.
Gonna be devastating for our narratives if Myles is a superstar this year 😂 keep going though man. Love to see it.

It cannot be overstated how much your quality of life decreases when it gets dark at 5pm instead of 7pm
Watching this live was probably the funniest thing that I’ve ever seen in sports in the moment and I don’t even know if there’s a second place. This might be first, second, and third 😂😂😂

Daniel Jacobsen has arrived.
Talked about Purdue’s next great big man on this week’s show.

What a night for narratives... Braden starts point guard next to the actual regular starters, plays well, and gets Pacers a big W vs a 6-1 team. And it’s all made possible because while the Grizz annihilate the Pacers in Edey’s minutes, they (once again) fall apart without him.
This has to be for like some LeBron NIL donations or something right? I didn’t realize he was literally starting and then not even in their actual rotation. That’s wild.
I think I’m just not watching a Kansas game on principle this year.
Not an overreaction to say that @KUHoops has the deepest (and maybe best) team in @Big12Conference. Picking up Trey Kaufman-Renn is like trading for Al Horford. @coach_paint
Trey Thompson is outside the rotation in year 2. Would’ve had a great chance to win minutes in Purdue’s big man room this season. Could’ve become a star in the best development program in the country. It was right there for him.
Now? Bet he transfers out of Iowa. Tough breaks.
So happy for Jacobsen man. He’s obviously been working relentlessly for the last couple years to get to this opportunity at Purdue. Big things coming for the big man.
Surprised how many people are only down on Omer for a game where no guard played well. Needs time. If Omer shoots 4-11 and has 13 and 5 with no turnovers, nobody would be that concerned. Certainly no other guard made a case for his minutes yesterday?
