Even I can say if we get Wells we have the chance to make it to the second weekend again for sure. I have been critical of some of the moves but I think Wells moves the needle quite a bit.

Okay I know everyone thinks my post is crazy. I will admit it was a bit of a wild take. But here is my reasoning. Big T: We are counting on him even though he has never played college basketball. His brother who is better averaged 5.5 points a game. Ben Hum: played poorly against top...

I would say Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan, Purdue, Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan State, USC, and Northwestern are all better than us. Also UCLA, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Oregon are right where we are and would be toss up games.

Is Illinois on that list? Is there any bad blood for not recruiting him hard the first time?

@Indy Illini Fan what happen to Coleman not going into the portal and that his dad wouldn’t let him transfer? Is that no longer the case?

Question for the insiders. I heard from a pretty good source that Domask NIL was very low last year. If he does get the waiver (although from the same source I have heard not a good chance it happens) do we plan to up his NIL pretty drastically? I would sure hope so.

There were times Kofi clogged the lane so much for those guys too. If we could have had Kofi pop with Ayo and hit a 15 to 18 footer Ayo would have been even better which is crazier to think. For example against Loyola it would have been harder to trap Ayo on the ball screens. So yes his rim...

Agree with this 100%. Kofi is a one of kind player and one that Illini nation is so thankful to have and help us get back on track. But you can do so much more now on offense and defense. Defense you can play ball screens differently (depending on Dain movement). You might not have to down every...

I know I am new but I have always been a follower of the board but I was never able to join till now because of affiliation to the program. No I am not connected like our insiders are but I do have background and insight into the program. So here is what I will say every one gets obsessed with...

@illini0440 we obviously don’t know what Cam Whitmore is going to do but does the staff take both him and Jones or would it be first come first serve? I would rather have Whitmore if that is a legit option. But we can’t have both and keep RJ I would think.
