I disagree. I think ISM makes an NFL roster. He is legit. I agree on Brandon Smith but he is a nice college player and has made numerous plays going to get 50/50 balls Stanley has thrown up for grabs. Also, Tyrone Tracy has gotten open and has NFL potential.
Insertjasonbatemanwhatwhatwhatgif. McNutt was slow as balls compared to ISM. McNutt had great hands, was kind of fast, and was a helluva college WR. ISM has the ability to runaway from people and he has shown the ability to make tough catches. I loved McNutt as a Hawk but ISM has a way higher NFL ceiling than McNutt ever did.
Another year with a different team composition, I would get it. But with this team at this point in time, we need to get busy living or get busy dying.
Pray tell what 5 stars are on the roster let alone one that I have described as terrible. Our "4 star" players as ranked by Rivals out of high school are: Connor, Garza, Joe W, and Patrick. The only one I called terrible is Connor, which I stand by relative to starting PGs in power 5 conferences, and some non-power 5 conferences. I acknowledged Joe W as "legit and super athletic." I said Garza is good but slow, which is patently obvious. I had no comment on Patrick, who I think has a lot of potential once he fills out. If you watched that abomination last night and think that the starting 5 as a group is good enough to get it done, I also am glad you are not the coach.
Right, so I did not call any 5 stars terrible while Connor simply wasn't "prepared and had an off night" as players he was guarding blew by him and he turned the ball over on offense. It's not like I think we're going winless but this team will surprise me greatly if it has an above 500 record, unless Joe T starts playing most minutes at PG and he is as good as I'm hoping. If he's just so-so then this could be a very ugly season. Hope I'm wrong.
Patrick doesn't start. James and Brian Ferentz played in the NFL, for the Patriots no less. I'll take any more seeds that Kirk may have planted outside of the marriage. My only issue as to a coach's kid not producing relative to minutes played, for now, is Connor. Hopefully that resolves itself.
Script Iowa unis are NEVER the problem. Stick to the relevant facts.
I think they should be trying to use ISM more. He’s made some really athletic plays this year and I have often wondered why they stop going to him or try to get him the ball. There is always a way to get a man open, if you scheme correctly.
To your point, a decade ago Purdue fans were clamoring to replace Joe Tiller.
Beating a ranked SEC opponent in a New Year's Day bowl didn't matter?
