To be fair, UK has a Q4 loss, too. UK has 6 more Q1 wins than us, and the most overall.

He’s got an ERA under 3.0.

Ahem…Barry Bonds. I’m not a fan of the steroid era, but Bonds was phenomenal before and after steroids. I’m done.

I don’t disagree with that, but that was not the original discussion and got off track. That’s what happens on VN. If you can’t give him some praise for developing as a player, then we have nothing to discuss. I’m done because it got away from the original point. That’s fine.

So, back to the original discussion, which people used my words to divert from. Zach Edey’s aren’t just available to recruit every year. Let’s end it there.

I’m not talking athleticism. I said “generational player” not “generational talent.” I’m talking about what he did for his team and his production. Yes, his stats are generational numbers. He stayed 4 years while others did not. There is nuance to some discussions and arguments- not just topics...

lol…just stop. He’s one of 8 players ever to score 2500 points and grab 1300 rebounds. First since 1990. Yes, his production was the definition of generational. You would love a player at UT with those numbers. I guess you can recruit them anytime.

I’m done talking about the officiating. The bottom line is Purdue went to the title game, and they aren’t erasing it from the books.

That’s part of producing for your team- staying to play. My statement was simply based on college production and what he meant to his team as a center. Those don’t grow on trees as the original poster wanted to find for us. That’s ok- others can disagree.

I get all that, but Purdue was nothing without him. I’m talking more about production. But the overall point from the original post was that we need to go out and get bigger posts like Edey. I simply responded and said guys like Edey just aren’t hanging around everyday committing to schools...

I’ve already discussed it. He did get calls, but he was also the back to back NPOY. He’s a top 3 college center in the last 20 years, so he is a generational talent.

I’m not talking NBA. Totally different subject. That isn’t the discussion. I’m talking about college centers.

lol…you kind of took it further than the intent. Edey is a back to back national player of the year. I was absolutely frustrated with the way he was officiated, and he got away with a bunch. But taken as a whole, he was dominant. Hakeem never won a player of the year, and he was the last name...

Edey is a generational player at 7’4.” There aren’t many of those around. Fall didn’t have his strength, and Fall had 2 teammates who averaged 16 points per game, shooting 37% and 40% from 3. I think JJJ playing the 4 was good for our team. We could spread it, and he could shoot the 3...

What TV did took some guts. It was a great move, and I respect him for putting the team first, knowing that Burns might not like it for the future. It caused Burns to pitch better, too. However, I know a MLB scout, and he said it does cause teams to pause a bit. Starters are picked high and...
