I believe coach K's standard rebuttal is he cant control what duke geographical area businesses do to fill their employment needs or something to that effect. how stupid does he think we are?

Clocktoweraccords2004 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 That’s not just duke. Big teams usually have boosters double the worth of a house and buy it or a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierPal Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 2 hours ago, wgstl said: Matt haarms from Purdue is leaving to become a GT. 7’3 - I want big time From Lafayette Journal & Courier WEST LAFAYETTE - In a surprising move, Purdue center Matt Haarms has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. The school made the announcement Monday. Haarms informed coach Matt Painter on Monday of his intentions, sending ripples through the program, the Big Ten and the college basketball world. Haarms, one of the most energetic players in program history, was heading into his senior season with the Boilermakers. He averaged 8.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and two blocks last season. He is scheduled to graduate this spring and would be eligible to play immediately next season at another school. The native of Amsterdam moved in and out of the starting lineup as Purdue battled an up-and-down season, sharing time with Trevion Williams at the center spot. Painter played both Haarms and Williams together early in the season but didn't stick with the lineup as the Boilermakers dealt with inconsistent play from nearly every spot on the roster. Plus, the lineup never produced the results the coaching staff was hoping to see. Haarms can return to Purdue but he's expected to receive a lot of interest from across the country. The press release said Haarms finished his career fourth in school history in career blocked shots if you're into reading tea leaves. Haarms didn't have the type of season he was expecting and injuries played a role. He suffered a concussion at Nebraska in December and missed the next two games. He sustained a hip flexor in the double-overtime loss at Michigan but did play in the next game - the blowout win over Michigan State. While Haarms didn't have a great season, no one else on the team did either. He didn't play to his own standards and you could see the frustration mount in certain games. Haarms was also faced with battling the league's top centers nearly every night and the physical style isn't his best attribute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 if this haarms guy agreed to being the third big behind french and bell i am very much for going after this guy!! betting bell could learn a lot from just playing against him in practice. but i dont want to retard bell's development by benching him.

Agree. I'm sure Haarms is looking for more than what we can offer. Very modest numbers as a junior at Purdue. Give Bell more development and minutes and he's better than that. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I assume Haarms will end up at a blue blood school in need of a starting big. He was a major piece on an elite eight team and is a defensive game-changer. He won't be going anywhere as a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgstl Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Haarms would be taking bell minutes, and a lot of those. Bell would become the 3rd big but just for one season. JohnnyJumpUp and TheChosenOne like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A10Ref Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Haarms might want more PT. He averaged mid to low 20 mpg at Purdue. I am not sure if he will get much more than that here as Jimmy continues to develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
