The Purdue hype is pretty crazy. Everywhere they are a top 3 school, usually #1. We saw how this team played 2 years ago with the same roster minus Edey. Yes they’re 2 years older, but again they don’t have Edey. I just don’t get the Braden Smith hype, at least not consensus preseason NPOY. Kaufman Renn had a really good year last year, but I just think there’s some regression there. Loyer is Loyer. And Kluff is a good addition to round out the roster, but can he hold up when he’s not consistently playing against centers that are 6 inches shorter than him?

Lastly, Omer Mayer hype is off the charts, I guess because he’s international and that shiny mystery people can fantasize about. He’ll be good, I just don’t think a huge impact player year 1.

I think they’ll be top of the polls throughout the season because they’re playing in the annually overrated Big 10 and also have a relatively easy non-conference. But I could easily see this team getting bounced in the elite 8, if not earlier.
