    So is KJ a shooting guard or a point guard? I just assumed he was a PG after seeing his gaudy assist numbers recently, but it appears he is listed as a shooting guard prospect. Do people think Boswell will have the ball in his hands more than KJ?

    It doesn’t change your point, but isn’t there a rule that international players (you mentioned Ivisic getting paid in an earlier comment) cannot get NIL money? I read somewhere that Zach Edey did not receive NIL. True, NIL money is not unlimited, but to hooraybeer’s point, if you have the...

    I know Coleman said he was seriously done with school, and wouldn’t want to come back to Illinois if he did come back to school, but I wonder if any of that had to do with him thinking Illinois would take a step back next year with losing TSJ and Domask? With the recent additions, is it possible...

    As much as I think TSJ should have been a first or at worst second team AA, it’s hard to argue against the numbers. I think if you went by the eye test, he would have to make it, but his rebounding and assist numbers don’t help him. His rebounding numbers are low, but that’s only because that...

    Can you help me to understand this screenshot then? We have more commits than Minnesota and Iowa, but we’re still ranked below them, 11th in the conference if they rank teams by average recruit ranking. I still don’t understand.

    Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself the eternal optimist, but can someone explain all the hoopla about all these commitments? I looked at the 247 conference recruiting rankings, and we’re currently 11th in the big ten. I know we’ve had a bunch of underrated recruits become draft picks, so...

    Michigan State 23, Illinois 15 Postgame

    Tbh, I think the most egregiously wrong call by the refs hasn’t been mentioned much on here. WTF was that call where we pushed the MSU player out of bounds with like 1:50 left in the game and the refs didn’t stop the clock??? Never seen anything remotely like that. The only possible explanation...

    I agree, I’m not suggesting he’s a thug or anything like that, just want him to control those competitive instincts or whatever it was that led him to do these dumb things. He needs to direct all of his competitive energy into the game.

    Alan Griffin suspended 2 games

    I’ll be honest, I was not shocked when this happened. I love him as a player, and I hope he gets his act together, but this isn’t the first time he does something of this nature (not as bad as this, but still unnecessary contact). I wonder if his history had anything to do with the length of the...

    To be clear, I think both of those out of bounds catches were difficult calls and I don’t blame the refs for going with what was called on the field instead of overturning the call. That doesn’t change the fact that I think they got one or both of those calls wrong and could’ve really changed...

    Also looking forward to next year and hopefully much more of Isaiah Williams, he looks sooo quick!

    I think the referees had more of an impact than we are even letting on. The biggest in my mind was that big play near the end of the half where they ruled “as stands” rather than confirmed. We had them backed up against there end zone on third down and it was pretty clear to me that their...

    Does anybody have any idea what is going on with Tevian? Will he be coming back before this semester is over?

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa, Thursday, March 14th, 8:30pm CT, BTN

    I know we haven’t exactly been playing well of late, but I think too many people are discounting the fact that three of those “bad” losses came to teams that were on hit streaks (IU and penny state), also Iowa is on a cold streak of their own...

    I’m going to go ahead and get ahead of myself here...if we can play like that, there is no reason we can’t win the B1G tournament.
