Purvis and Warren both used that word leading up to their announcements. They could have told him to say that as a joke or something.

But here we are, grown ass men trying to interpret the tweets of a teenager.

11/1/2012 10:40:46 AM

Perhaps his "shock the world" means with his level of play? Make IU regret passing on him and shock everyone and be the best freshman next year?

Who knows, ambiguous statement.

Just have to wait until the 16th and hope for the best. Then Gott and Co. can go all-in on Randle and start looking at more 2014/2015 guys.

11/1/2012 11:14:22 AM

Probably wouldn't hurt to add another guard for next year as well to back Rodney up.

11/1/2012 11:48:31 AM

I thought we did that already

11/1/2012 12:04:24 PM

I figure Lewis/Barber will be at the 1, and then Purvis/Turner will be at the 2.

11/1/2012 12:24:28 PM

possibly mentioned before, but Woodson committed to Baylor.

11/1/2012 12:31:24 PM

I would imagine that Cat might be able to play the 2 with lewis some too.

11/1/2012 12:31:45 PM

Lewis/Barber
Purvis/Turner
Warren/Turner
De Thaey/Washington
Anya/Vandy

Yeah, we could use another 2/3. Staff might be looking at another graduate or Juco transfer.
If we got Randle, we'd probably have a top-20 team.

If only we were college basketball coaches and then we would get paid to do it. lol

^^I doubt the coaches concern themselves with most of their tweets.

11/1/2012 12:46:05 PM

Lewis/Barber
Purvis/Barber
Turner/Warren
Warren/de Thaey/Washington
Vandy/Anya

This is how I see it shaking out, but we'll see. We'll be very young in 2013 - two-thirds of the team will be freshmen and sophomores.

11/1/2012 1:02:46 PM

how long are we counting on Purvis staying in college?

^^How are we supposed to know,? We've never seen him play a game of college basketball. However, I think it's safe to say that he isn't a definite one-and-done. But he could be.

[Edited on November 1, 2012 at 1:32 PM. Reason : ]

11/1/2012 1:31:54 PM

I'm guessing at least two years. But if he goes after one year...that's awesome, because that means he would blow the fuck up this year.

He's an undersized shooting guard who isn't exactly a sharp-shooter. He either needs to work on his point guard skills or become a marksmen to be a lottery pick. I don't see that happening in a years time...but ya never know.

11/1/2012 1:37:50 PM

D WADE!!!!

Let's get the hype started

11/1/2012 1:54:03 PM

Purvis said he was set on getting his degree, but I'm sure it would be hard to turn down millions. But no use in speculating players leaving early until they've at least played a bit in college.

Most of these lists are right as far as depth goes, but I do expect Washington and Anya(fingers-crossed) to end up starting over TDT and Vandy at some point. Anya has such a high-ceiling talent wise, we'll just have to hope our coaches can get him prepared for college and get his conditioning right.

And if we somehow managed to land Randle, he'd start immediately, he'd play mainly 4 but wouldn't surprise me if he pushed for some time at the 3 as well.

11/1/2012 2:20:22 PM

Wade has a few inches on Purvis...and he was at Marquette for three years. He wasn't a big time perimeter guy in college either. He got better by the time he was drafted, but his perimeter game really blew up his first couple years in Miami.

11/1/2012 2:21:16 PM

I think Purvis is commonly compared to Wade, just from style, not ability. But that style can lead to some injuries. I know Wade has had several injuries in the NBA, does anyone recall if he had many injuries at Marquette?

11/1/2012 2:23:15 PM

An injury to his ability to read cost him his freshman season.

11/1/2012 2:25:32 PM

PROP 48!!!

Turner won't start ahead of Warren. It'll be tough enough keeping Warren off the court this year.

Next year he'll be starting at the 3, and will be one of our top 2 scorers along with Purvis.

11/1/2012 2:42:41 PM

bold predictions for two guys who haven't played a single game of college ball (although you may be right)

This, especially if he's gonna be as good as some of you guys are predicting him to be. I think if we get Randle, then he may be willing to hang around longer simply to play with him

11/1/2012 2:57:52 PM

How about we wait until he plays some college basketball before we try to make these predictions?

11/1/2012 3:08:30 PM

That could be one of the factors of Randle waiting until the Spring. To see if Purvis is staying and make sure Leslie is leaving. If Leslie stays or Purvis leaves, especially the latter, don't see anyway we land Randle.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Warren play a lot of 4. All depends on how ready our freshmen are to get some minutes.

I can definitely see a Lewis/Purvis/Turner/Warren/Insert Center Here lineup. We'll need shooters on the floor with Wood gone...Turner will play because of that.

Woodson to Baylor

Get this thread back on track.

So this looks good for Anya. Yes?

we're talking about recruits and recruiting needs up in here

11/1/2012 4:45:37 PM

I am pretty confident Anya is coming to State

11/1/2012 4:48:10 PM

JT3 whipping out his fat dick ITT

11/1/2012 4:48:20 PM

Purvis is a 2-3 year player lock it down.

The comparison to Wade falls apart because Wade has the equivalent arms of Beejay for a guard. Purvis just has normal length

11/1/2012 4:52:38 PM

Yeah purvis one and done odds seem slim. He's a shooting guard .


I also think our starting lineup next year will include purvis, turner, and warren. You play your best guys, de thaey starting would shock me.

11/1/2012 5:13:04 PM

I think the only scenario with purvis being one and done would be if we won a title this year. Even then, he could come back.
