Ronnie Johnson transfer

[cincinnati?? really???]

WOW!!!That's unheard of and FLATOUT EMBARRASSING!!!

Want to know what's really embarrassing? We're taking 2 of the top recruits from your state next year and they never even considered cincinnati.

 

[cincinnati?? really???]

Ronnie Johnson has averaged over 10 ppg over 3 rpb and close to 4 apg and and 2 tpg in 2 seasons. He's shot 40% from the filed and this past season shot a respectable if not spectacular 67% from the ft line (a 10% increase from his freshman season). I'd hardly say he "couldn't hack it" in the B10. He may not come to UC in the end but to say the kid couldn't make it in the B10 is laughable when statistically it simply isn't true. In 9 games against ranked teams he averaged 12.4 points this season. No he isn't a great 3 point shooter but there is no need to trash this kids talent when the numbers say he has had two pretty good seasons and steps his game up when playing against top competition.

He was also the floor general of a severely under performing team. Ceeya!

severely under performing team? sounds like a coach issue.

Haha you are going to need them. You only have 5 scholarship players for next season. That will mean 3 straight seasons not making the NCAA tournament and a pink slip for your wonder boy Matt Painter. Come talk shit when you can actually field a competitive basketball team. Until then we'll be over here enjoying 4 straight tourney appearances and back to back years being ranked in the top 10. Also for a little history lesson we have more championships, more final fours, and more tournament appearances. Who is irrelevant? Be gone troll.

People keep responding and it hurts me on an intellectual level. More braincells dying here than on my bender last Saturday.

According to CBS Sports' Pat Forde, high school players from Indiana prefer playing out of state:

HOOSIER EXPATRIATES

There are no Indiana teams in the Big Dance, but there are plenty of players from the state:

Half the Michigan rotation (53). Forward Glenn Robinson III is from St. John. Guard Zak Irvin is from Fishers. Guard Spike Albrecht is from Crown Point. Then there are bench jockeys Sean Lonergan (Fishers) and Andrew Dakich (Zionsville) and injured center Mitch McGary (Chesterton). No wonder Tom Crean was so mad at Michigan assistant Jeff Meyer last year.

Gary Harris and Branden Dawson (54), Michigan State. Harris (Fishers) is the Spartans' leading scorer. Dawson (Gary) is their leading rebounder. Russell Byrd (Fort Wayne) will occasionally come off the bench to shoot a 3.

Justin Martin and Dee Davis (55), Xavier. Martin (Indianapolis) is second in scoring for the Musketeers. Davis (Bloomington) leads the team in assists.

Marshall Plumlee (56) of Warsaw, the third and final Duke Plumlee, is a backup center.

Stephan Van Treese (57), Louisville. Fifth-year senior center from Indy has hustled and muscled his way into the starting lineup as a rebounder (5.7), screen setter and defensive presence.

Yet Purdue is still the better program, in a better conference, attracts better recruits, has a bigger fanbase, etc. Sucks to suck, cincinnati. Hey remind me again what conference wanted you guys to join after the big least fell apart? The aac? Lmao

Can someone explain why this dude is so butthurt over Cincinnati? Am I missing something?

Because he's mad we are taking ronnie Johnson from him and he has nothing better to do this time of year while we are in the tourney.

Not mad at at all if he transfers there. We have higher rated recruits coming in next year not to mention he likely won't choose cincinnati anyway. His dad is a convict that thinks his son is a future nba'er, glad he's off the team. Then again thugs seem to fit in pretty well at cincinnati.

Not a single thug on this team. Did you guys get your CBI invite yet? Or do you have to have a winning record to be invited?

 

[cincinnati?? really???]

Did you get your invite to a real conference yet? Or do you have to be worth something to get invited?

 

[coachpipe]

thats like the Astros saying, hey we are in the best division in baseball...You still suck. You seem like the only one caring about a conference like it means something. Especially in basketball. We made the dance, you didnt. Thats all that matters in basketball. And I dont really think purdue is aloud to talk shit about football regardless of which conference you are in after we dismantled your little sisters of the poor team this year. You act like people respect you since you are in the big 10. News flash other teams in your conference hate playing you because if you win, it makes them look bad and not the other way around.

You are to the Big 10 what Depaul was to the old Big East. So talk shit and brag all you want(if thats what you think you are doing) but you are still Purdue and still the laughing stock of your conference...

 

[Cataclysmo]

Okay this is fun, ill bite. Didnt we smack you in football this year? Okay good, go away now, or actually provide something worthwhile to talk about. No one here gives a damn about Purdue Sports quite frankly.

 

[the_one_32]

Purdue still has a basketball program? Hmm weird. Btw that extra strong big ten has what 3 really good teams and a bunch of ehhh they are okay. And you can have your Drew Brees I will take Oscar Robertson I win you lose shut up and sit down learn your place.

What's has Purdue won last 80yrs in Big Ten???? 97% of America NEVER heard of u guys let alone can tell you where y'all are located!!!

 

[GuyfromNKY]

Who the hellis cincinnatis coach even??? IDK and im guessing majority of people have no clue either. You're an irrelevant program in an irrelevant conference. Just be thankful you even have a shot at our leftovers. Have fun in the aac or whatever crap conference you guys are in. Your fanbase is so pathetically small no power conference would ever touch you. lol

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA this gave me a good laugh. Thanks bud!

Yup, we're the program with the most big ten titles and a winning record against every team in the conference except OSU who just recently passed us a couple years ago. You can have you're ancient players that no one cares about anymore. I'll take Brees everyday. Also some idiot was bragging the other day about how the aac(lol aac) was going to send more teams then the big ten. How did that work out? Purdue would be going to the tourney too if it was in your bottom feeder conference. No one wants Cincinnati and the best program is soon to be leaving for a real conference. Have fun fading into irrelevance in the sewer of college athletics while we get our fat paychecks from the premier conference that Purdue is also the god father of creating.

You have all those things yet you still suck? That speaks to how awful your coaches and athletic department really are. We play in a shitty conference, have a worse fan base, worse facilities, and worse recruits and yet still have had more success than you. Wow you really suck balls. While you have been getting shit on in the Big 10 we have been going to the dance and BCS games. Now I see why Purdue sucks so bad. Their fan base is so dumb that they dont even know what the goal is.
