You're nuts if your an Illinois fan and hate the portal.
If you're Kentucky, Kansas, Duke or North Carolina well this certainly has evened the playing field.

Walk by faith and not by ... something or another. I guess I should stick to the point and just say: some posters are concerned. Other's ain't, and that's just fine.I think it's going to work out just fine.
Over-optimistic assurances, beliefs and assessments are sure-fire annual occurrences here. That's just my observation.Well I don't know about obsession but it was like having a carrot dangled in front of you the way everyone was saying he was likely coming to Illinois.
This is what Brad is selling to all these portal guys.Prior to his arrival in Champaign, TJ was a 22-25 minute a game guy. His role at Texas Tech was similar to that of Ty or Quincy last year. A significant role player, but no one would have been surprised to see him on the bench for long stretches. We gave him 7 more minutes a game and he averaged 7 more points a game his first year as an Illini compared to his last year at TT. We needed him to become that guy, and that opportunity helped him find the confidence and drive for tremendous growth.
That's a very-defendable point of view. But there is another perspective, you'll be chagrined to learn of, which is that the portal may be one of the factors that leads to the demise of the sort of collegiate basketball experience we have known. As badly flawed as it may well have been over the past decades, it could get worse. I know I have been admonished over and over and over to be wary of what I wished for. So I hope things settle down in the next couple of years but in fact they may just not.
Source?sounds like we lost maddox

Clingan was not as polished but very good as well.Love me tsj and I would go as far as second best player last year with stretches at the end that were crazy good but agreed Edey was no question the best player in all of cbb last year.
I don’t think anyone has ever thought Johnell Davis would be coming to Illinois hahaI asked Indy about Johnell Davis, and he said definitively that he wouldn’t be coming to Illinois. He gave the reason, but that is his to share if he chooses.
All the FAU guys are going to Michigan if the admissions clears them, most likelyI asked Indy about Johnell Davis, and he said definitively that he wouldn’t be coming to Illinois. He gave the reason, but that is his to share if he chooses.
