Jordan Sperber did a great breakdown of Purdue’s offense that year and how he thought it was the toughest single action to guard in the country, but a large part of that was due to how quick Edwards was able to get shots off from the perimeter while still moving from screens, as well as how much gravity he attracted from opposing defenses.

Re: Elmarko - what’s everyone’s read on our competition? Either what he’s said publicly, or your feel.

W/o knowing much, my guess has been that Michigan and Nova will be tough to beat, but I don’t know what I’m basing that on.

He’s a south Jersey kid, so Nova makes a lot of sense. Plus they have a good PG legacy.

Less sure about Michigan except that I think Juwan is still ISO a long term, non rental PG.

I think Nova (despite the interview omissions) and Michigan will be tough to beat. Larranaga has been at a lot of ElMarko’s games so never discount the Miami bag drop. Who knows who Kansas’ actual guard targets/preferences are.

Ha! In all seriousness though, I’m looking forward to some feedback regarding how his visit is going/did go. With crossed fingers… :crossed_fingers: :crossed_fingers:

Elmarko strikes me as a guard that’s destined to play in the B1G.

Fried Chicken (buttermilk marinated? idk), Mac N Cheese, two chocolate milks. My lactose intolerance be damned.

Funny story on my visit coach Odom took me to the Rotunda and said “Douglas this is where we eat our pregame meals”. I was like cool, whatever homeboy

Coach Jones still loves telling that story as he thoughf it was ridiculous he would tell me that hahahahah

The 10 minutes it takes to rip through that food is well worth whatever pain comes after

Always heard about Riverside. But never went.

Also forgot Trin 3 and foxfield

Would definitely give it a try one day, they serve smash burgers that are really tasty and super cheap. Also have pretty good wings and cheese sticks.

It’s the kind of burger that can seal a commitment on a visit IMO.

Gertrude is following Chase Coleman, Kadin, and Ryan Dunn on insta.

Also man can we keep Chase on staff or like as a graduate assistant? I remember during the bubble year where he was the only one bringing energy or cheering.
