Insane that he averages 11 pts on 3 made 3s a game.

Ole Miss just gave the AJ Storr bag to Dre Davis …
Storr family might be misplaying their hand a little bit here …

Maddox wants the ball in his hands. He's not gonna get that as much with us.
I'd take a run at Conley, X has 2 ball dominant guards now. That might be enough to sway him
Problem with Storr is he's not good enough to make these kinda demands. Kinda inefficient, not great defense.

Thank you. This really helped me with the situation.
My high school car was my mom's 1984 Ford LTD. The Blue Beast was an absolute unit. It survived everything that a chatGPT could conceive of, including a Blues Brothers style flight at high speed into a corn field after an egging incident. Then my brother drove into a ditch in southern IL in his high school years and put the steering column into the engine block.
Anyway, I'm bummed that Coach Frazier, Amani and Sencire are gone. There was a love of playing defense in all 3 that I don't think you can coach. It's innate.
But I trust what Brad is doing in terms of roster construction for this age of college basketball,
Just like I trust Ford after somehow building a sedan that outperformed the M1 Sherman.
It's not necessarily what you think you want, it's definitely not sexy, but it is a beast and I have faith it's gonna get us where we need to go.
Keep rolling.
Update: me saying “but I know @Indy Illini Fan” was not good enough to get into coach Millers office
What makes Sean better than Brad at selling? It would seem that you think he's better at closing a kid

I don't begrudge a player for wanting to better himself. The NIL and portal has certainly changed college basketball. It is extremely difficult for me to get to know the players from year to year. I simply do not have the time to devote a lot of time in the off season. I can only watch a handful of games. Most of what I learn is on this site and checking the boxscores.
It is a little frustrating when the mentality is to simply leave the team instead of wanting to show the coaching staff that they are the better option instead of the incoming transfer. It was only small school high school but I admired my son when he was a senior. He went out and found enough runners to bump himself down on the cross country depth chart. His goal was to get the team back to state even if he didn't participate. In his case, There were enough injuries that he ended up back on varsity and ran in the state meet.
Transfer guards from Toledo = Brad’s kryptonite
I understand the Xavier is not a poverty school or anything.
There's just a difference between losing a transfer guard who's from Illinois to a program like Baylor and a program like Xavier.
If we can land Antigua …
I feel very strongly that we will be in an elite position with Koby Brea … Even with the whole nation after him …

Brad does not have a great track record with guards. If Boswell wasn’t from Champaign you’d have to question if he even would be an Illini. Likely not. Brad needs to figure out how to change this. The only glaring opportunity Brad has.

What do you suggest - starting a GoFundMe Page for Dana to keep her happy and to change her mind about moving to CU?

Seeing as both of his parents are from the Dominican Republic, I bet you're right
He’s no Dante Maddox but his 3 point shooting is elite
A hit man with a specific target might be more effective.
Forget storr, we need this guy!
First post, but I’ve been following this board since Cliffgate, but let’s ride
Brea is basically a better Goode. If he were to commit, would that impact Luke?

Welcome, what stopped you from joining earlier?
Brea might be the best 3 point bomber in CBB. Pull him, someone like David Jones that can carry an offense, and a big body center. We would be cooking again.
Love staying in the background. Didn’t know making an account kept the spot where you last were when reading the posts
but I’ve been enjoying the rollercoaster of a ride of being an Illini fan and been enjoying my popcorn so far this offseason
