    Coleman just did an interview with Jeff Goodman on Field of 68. Really insightful as usual for Coleman. He spent over 40 mins talking to Goodman. I don't think we should count him to come back if the NBA route doesn't work. He talked about not wanting to take mins away from guys like Morez. He...

    Most other media outlets online were much more neutral and/or did keep it to basketball conversation if Terrence's name was brought up. But those two were out of line

    Garbage Parrish doesn't deserve the platform he still has. Him and to a lesser extent Matt Norlander went all in on the pitchforks against Underwood and Terrence. I will also be awaiting that apology article. I haven't listened to CBS Eye on College Basketball podcast since their ridiculous...

    He got some of that Tyson chicken money. No major surprise here. He went to the school who gave him the most money

    No thank you. He underwhelmed at Georgia where he had the starting spot locked early in the season and gave it up. He is what he is at this point...role player off the bench who can hit some 3's.

    It's going to suck seeing Goode play for that loathed rival but I do wish him success in every game he plays except for against our beloved Illini

    I watched a few Memphis games during the year. Most memorably, he balled out in the Battle 4 Atlantis game vs Arkansas. 36 pts and 5 steals. He put them on his back in that game. So, Bardo's views surprised me a bit but he knows the game better than I do

    Bardo is very down on David Jones per his podcast, Bardo's Breakdown. I guess he doesn't like his game and thinks he is not a team first guy as well as a poor defender

    I don't think his departure is about lack of playing time. If that was the issue, he would've put his name in the transfer portal on the same day as Dainja did. No need to wait another couple of weeks. I think this has more to do with Chester Frazier's departure which is pure silliness

    Yes, this is my mindset on the matter. For all that the program did for him this season in terms of refining his shooting and transforming his body, there should be some level of accountability in staying around unless the staff and player agree on a mutual separation. He essentially wasted...

    But, he was going to supposedly stay until Chester left. I don't think he posts a mixtape of his practice highlights and puts an ILL in the subject line if he is going to leave. That's why I am making more of a point to say that it is complete idiocy for a player to leave over one of the...

    I know he was willing to burn the redshirt but to me, this strikes me as less about play time and more about leaving because your #1 guy in Chester Frazier left. Last I heard, the coach is Brad Underwood. The leader of the men's basketball program is Brad Underwood. When you come to Illinois...

    I never want to speak bad about one of our players but the whole Sencire Harris transfer portal really irks me. It feels like he used Illinois to better his own game and become a stronger player. He used our athletic training staff to improve himself physically. Then, he turns around and bolts...

    What does that mean that he f'ed up? Was there an inappropriate relationship? I remember he was with the DIA and then oddly left shortly after joining.

    That's good to hear
