Tipton using the old (considerably) wordmark and font.

I'm going to need to be talked into this one. Makes me kinda think Rodgers has one foot out the door, hope I'm wrong.

Man I just want DUDES, not guys. Putting up bad numbers at a place like Louisville and already being on your third school in 3 years while also being a horrific defender is a recipe for disaster.
I understand your concern. I would say just give it time. Brad has shown he knows how to build a quick roster. I think you'll be happy when the dust settles.

How is 12 and 5 bad numbers? Also hes 6'7 205 so if brad gets him to buy in he's a big body. Also Quincy had been to Cuse, Oregon, then came to us so whats the difference. Bunch of hate for this guy.

I really like the idea of adding Booth.
Booth, Morez, Amani is three interesting dudes as your bigs. All a little different. As Underwood always says, he doesn’t like any pieces to be the exact same. It’s young but that potential is through the roof.

I don’t believe the staff views White as a starter. My guess is they pitched that idea to him. If he wasn’t okay with it he probably wouldn’t have committed. Figure the kid just wants to win after that embarrassment of a season he had at LVille last year.

No go get Boswell, Storr, Maddox and a Big.

Reminds me of what they did with Omar Payne. Omar didn’t workout and he left.

You can't come to Illinois and not workout. You might not work out....but you will workout before you don't work out. Fletch ain't having it.

In-and-Out franchise, that sorta deal? It does make me nervous.

I’m just not sure why I’m supposed to be excited about a player who doesn’t try on defense. He also played on one of the worst teams in all of college basketball. Carey Booth also doesn’t have any impressive stats. I get that he didn’t play much but I’m not sure why I should be excited about getting these guys. This makes our 4 and 5 a big weak spot for next year’s team.
Or maybe just maybe the staff loves what they have in Morez/Amani at the 4/5. Youth at that position is dangerous, yes-but those two and Booth give you 2 guys (Rez and Booth) with legit NBA talent and a third (Amani) who is going to be a damn good college player.

People need to take a step back, breathe, and let the offseason play out. Let’s not act like this is going to be the crown jewel of our portal adds. The next 4 will dwarf the 2 adds we’ve had to date.

You need to stop it!!! Goode is nowhere in Sincere’s class!! The stuff that you are seeing Sincere doing in the video he was doing in high school !!! All he needed was to get his confidence back to where he can let out his complete dog persona
To be fair the stuff we are seeing Sencire do he is doing in a practice highlight video. I hope it translates but in no way does it somehow prove he's going to wow the world.

And again, I hope he does.
