They have way better options that Bamba. Keep an eye on guys who enter. Our assistant coach could also possibly bring someone in
Hammerbarn!!!
What is the name of this assistant coach you speak of, if I may ask respectfully?
Yeah he was super hyped up last offseason and then played pretty mediocre
How many open schoolies with Armani leaving?
I'm a huge Amani fan and I agree with you. He has the potential of being a very good college player with more development. I'll have to cheer him elsewhere sadly.
I liked Amani a whole lot. I think if he stuck with us he would have been all big ten junior and senior year. He’s really good.
It’s just hard to see your hard won recruits flutter off after 1 year. Being recruited over has to suck.
For the record: I think Hansberry will have a better career than Booth. I would have preferred to keep him and fill position elsewhere.
Best of luck to him 🫡
I have many fond memories of people's great stories about the Jordan family that I read on here! Aaron (and Malcom!) deserved to be on much better teams. It's definitely sad how many Illini players that I remember QUITE fondly never got to play under the bright lights of the Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight between 2006 and 2023...
I think within 5 years we get to a more regimented “contracts” for NIL, like you’d get this much per year for 3 years and this much when you finish the contract, something like that.
Maybe a guy like Antigua has connections to Jones. That would be a slam dunk
I know this isn’t the right thread for this, but anyone know what Aaron Jordan is doing nowadays. Malcolm and AJ were two of my favorites.
If Jones chose to enter the portal, he would shoot straight to the top of my priority list. That's an All-America type guy.
LvilleILL - thank God, you’re here!
