Ya wtf Purdue has two 6'10" guys. We could be playing that running in quicksand style too if only we were so lucky.
Aside from the stupid question at the end, McKay never played for Marquette. Neither Burton or McKay were allowed to finish the year they started. Both had to sit out 2 semesters since they transferred mid year.
I don't know what gets said in Prohm's postseason meetings with his players, but I would guess that Ernst and Carter both got the same message, and Ernst acted on it and left. Carter appears to be here for no other reason than there was still a roster spot for him after the recruiting cycle.
And it is fair to say coaches make errors in judgment. Recruiting is an educated guessing game. But in this case I don't think Prohm is off. We've seen nothing that suggests that Carter is anywhere near ready to help the team on the floor. And as for inconsequential minutes, yes there are quite a few of them. And most of them occur early in the season and non conference schedule. Once conference play starts we're past the point of throwing guys out there for reps. As for big man recruitment and development, Prohm's had the job for one full recruiting cycle. So far he's picked up Malou (not his fault Malou never made it here), Lard, Young, and Kasongo. So the recruiting has been fine, and it's a little early to judge their development.

Very strange thing to be so hostile over but you be you I guess.
I know McKay didn't actually play for Marquette, but wasn't he too late in leaving from Marquette that he was counted as having played for the first semester? I thought that's why he was only allowed the half season with us. I could be mistaken. Does anybody remember?
Gunner seems to think th
Yes he practiced for like a week at Marquette in the first semester before deciding to transfer.
He had to sit out 2nd semester and the following 1st semester at ISU.

If you leave a school, you have to sit out a year. So if you transfer out mid year, you aren't allowed to play until mid year the next year.
McKay was allowed to use his Marquette year as his redshirt because he never played in a game yet, so we got him for a year and a half instead of half or one.
Burton wasn't allowed to redshirt as he already played in games for his sophomore year. So we get him for 1.5 years instead of 2 or 2.5.
This ^ is was what I was expecting before Prohm's comments after the Miss Valley St. game that Lard made his grades, was expected to arrive and be immediately eligible to play. I am curious if CSP changed his plan after talking with Cameron recently and looking at his grades or perhaps he misspoke or misinterpreted.
Right now I expect him to still arrive and red shirt unless there is a ISU release stating Lard is eligible. Though the possibility of adding to this team is intriguing.
Sort of how Drake made it a game too. Spread you out and drive to the basket. Sound familiar?
