So here is a practice update I found -> http://blogs.indystar.com/purdue/2011/10/22/jajuan-johnson-purdue-practice-updates/

By all accounts everything is coming together fantastically. I'll have heard is that Hummel is shooting lights out in practice. Smith is doing his thing. Lew Jack's playing well. Sandi is apparently playing very well and much improved. Injuries are healing up and the freshman are developing well. So it got me thinking: what are reasonable expectations for this basketball season. Obviously our goal should always be Final Four, but apart from that any goals we should set for this season. I saw one post predicting that we would finish the year 26-7. Most non-Purdue sites are predicting a mid-low BT finish and at best, breaks 20 wins. I'll be honest. .  . I think we are going to be better this year then last year. And I'm getting very excited for game 1
