    Do you suspect another team will meet his asking price, or will he just stay overseas?

    If we land Demin...that team is going to be SO interesting to watch gel. It would be rediculously skilled offensively and you could put out mammoth sized lineups. Almost the whole roster is 6'6 and above...and skilled. I dont know what the defense will look like...but man, were going to tower...

    I've said that I would aim higher then Booth...BUT if they get a real 5, then I feel a bit better. Folks need to watch Booth a bit more, even if its a few highlights. I can see why they like him. - He has NBA athleticism. There are moves and dunks that he has that are jaw dropping. - He shot...

    I still remain a bit skeptical of Boswell, but am more then happy (and expect to be) proven wrong. I just don't see anything that really pops with him. Decent defender, shooter and ball handler, but I don't see elite athleticism, first step or explosion. I will really watch the shooting if he...

    Fears is...real, real good. If he stays on trajectory, that's an NBA player. Can't wait to see what he does with Fletch too.

    I hope Dain finds a good spot and it wasnt always pretty, but I did love watching his growth this year. Please get out of the big 10... We need a big, looking forward to who they target. I'd love to get some real size at the center position.

    I'm in...the intangible stuff can never be overlooked. At 6'6" he provides some size as well. I trust the staff on this one and I like the get.

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    I think Uconn is...nearly unbeatable. BUT I think we can hang with them if we play to our top potential. We absolutely have to hit from 3 and we absolutely have to play our best game defensively. Uconn is an absolute f******* unit...but let's play with em.

    Yea, I'm kinda like...do we know if he is really that good? Because I don't know if he is.

    Sweet moses this is bad shooting... They're hitting all parts of the rim in every direction.

    I don't understand the dislike for Storr. Storr is not Skyy Clark or Matthew Mayer. Clark CLEARLY being a selfish, me first player who is willing to turn his back on his teammates...and Mayer, while talented, was more of just a weirdo then a bad guy. IMO Storr has not shown to be anything as...

    Yea, with due respect but...I dunno how good Phoenix Gill is. He for sure is not a day 1 starter, will need time, is undersized and I don't think his ceiling is super high. Great if he wants to come aboard, but far from a priority I would assume. I wanna know where we are with Andreas Holst...

    We are not this bad... But... We are this bad tonight. Run a decent offensive set to start.
