it looks like there's a little bit of John Havilecek in Jacucionis. Always moving, scoring on all three levels, picking pockets, out-hustling everyone, even kinda looking like him... hope he doesn't go to Ohio State!

I would vote for Kasparas... I love his game... If you look at his highlights (and I know that they're highlights!) He would be an ideal fit-- good ball handler, goes hard to the rim, very good outside shooter, plays hard defense, would love his game as our two guard... He looks like an ideal...

Dee Brown was definitely an alpha-- and all the others were really solid veterans who could lead when needed. A truly well- balanced GREAT team who lost two games all year-- and shouldn't have lost any!

Guys, how many times have we (and virtually every other school) gone through this at the hands of an eighteen year old? In this case WE NEVER HAD HIM! He is being handled and so are we... We got a visit, which got our blood pressure racing. But this type of high profile, megastar singular...

In fact, it was TWO broken ribs! He went 3 for 4 with a home run....

Do you realize... that the Cubs starters have allowed ZERO runs in the past four games, averaging almost 6 innings per game? And they're only 2-2 because the bullpen has given up 15 runs in about 15 innings! Youch!!

Did you see that Fox News today quotes Forbes as denoting Illinois as one of the 10 "new public Ivies" replacing the old Ivies because of their direction toward non-academics. Could this be used as a a recruiting tool, a school where students are actually expected to attend classes and learn?

how would a holmes oyenso jones fit into our lineup?

I attended the Timothy Leary talk at the assembly hall in about '68 or '69 where he counseled us to "tune in, turn on, and drop out." I'm sure glad I didn't follow his advice then or ever! I hope you're right and let's get bringing in our targets with those bucks!!!

after Indiana and maybe Nebraska

Lacking in defense....and rebounding...

Fitting and befitting our style, I'd LOVE to see us secure Jones, Onyenso and Prior to carry us forward. Look at the Kasean Pryor highlights and see if you agree. he's a junkyard dog (EDG?) from Chicago. Onyenso is a gazelle and blocks everything in sight. And Jones is a volume scorer that this...

He'll be a wide reciever this fall....

Where would we get points from? Front court would score 20 points per game... (12,4,4) Backcourt would have to score 50!

Not to mention Nick Anderson,,,
