Basketball rebuilds do not take that long. In football, yes; because of the physicality of the game. By year 3 this team needs to be dancing or the hire was wrong.

You can't struggle to put away a team like Grand Canyon and still claim to be a good team. I'm sorry, but you just can't.

TIFWIW but the crystal balls are pointing to 'Cuse.

I'm sure it's been mentioned, and I just don't remember seeing it. But I just saw that Calvin Avery will be in the Under Armour All American game. Kudos to him and the staff!

Lavar has a big enough ego, where the youngest Ball won't be going to UCLA.

Per a TMZ report Lavar is pulling his son out of UCLA.

Agreed. Youth+new system+players that were here=the results you're seeing.

This isn't football. It doesn't take THAT long to turn things around in basketball.

+1 with or without Brohm, Purdue was banking on this year and next being their "coming out party." They have a 2-3 year head start on their rebuild.

Epstein was so good, that once he went down offense is now toothless.

The farther you get into one coaches tenure, the less you can blame his predecessor. Usually by year 3 and sure as hell by 5, you shouldn't be pointing to the previous coach and saying "he's a big part of the reason we're not succeeding right now."

In the past 10 years, Taylor Battle might have been my least favorite player. I still have visions of him hitting 3's against us after just barely crossing half court.
