    If it was ice cold we wouldn't even know about it.

    I agree with this. You can't expect to fill the end of your bench in the portal because everyone wants playing time and money. Teams like us may be able to take another freshman development (obviously playing time and money would have to be less of a concern ala DGL). Jase Butler would have...

    I've thought this was pretty clear for a while. There isn't room for Hawkins to be back with the guys they have been adding. Hawkins interview with Goodman and talking about not wanting to block guys who aren't expecting him to be there pretty much sealed it up for me.

    These European pros need to retain "amateur status" by not receiving compensation in excess of expenses and possibly continuing class work. I'd imagine your example is a bit of hyperbole.

    This is likely not true for campus bars. In Champaign you could be 18 and be allowed in the campus bars.

    It would be OK if Mizzery had a decent year this year and Drinkwitz got a better job.

    I'd take Butler as a developmental freshman, but I like what I've seen watching Booth over Hansberry. I would have been OK keeping Dainja but we'll see how we fill the 5. I still think Dainja is unplayable ~half the time depending on the matchup.

    I'd rather play Indiana twice a year than Iowa if we are protecting teams.

    I would feel worse about our roster. Keeping Goode and a bunch of back of the bench guys with the current roster is not going to get you anywhere.

    Same. I was mathing the age gap thinking it should be a kid not a brother.

    Is it just me or should we be wearing orange at home?

    The post said starting 2 guard. It's pretty simple, he's not a lead guard. If you said he started alongside Boswell, a lead guard, HumHouse, and a center that is more plausible. But I'd still guess he comes off the bench.

    Love Ty, but I think we can rule that out.

    Trent and DMFW playing 5 years was weird. It would definitely be worse if Trent was banging 3s against us for Iowa that's for sure.

    That's only because there isn't a true 5 now. If (when) they get one I don't think this is necessarily true.
