Well, perhaps Bardo just didn't see him? I'll wait because I know he'll tell us when he does.

just get shooters and surround 4 shooters with a workhorse like onyenso.
But if domask gets a waiver and our main offense is booty ball we need a 5 who doesnt just camp the paint.

I'd like to thank Grandpa for his proper usage of "B1G". It shouldn't bug me when people type "BIG", but it does. That's all for now....
I assume it's a bit easier to entice young men to stay when you get them on campus in Los Angeles, CA than it is in Champaign, IL or Fayetteville, AR, but probably harder to keep their focus on ball.

But do you focus your rankings on the Next Year Value side because a kid with multiple years left can just re-enter the portal next year?
So David Jones is AJ Storr?

Really good question.
Either way, at least you're framing the discussion in an apples-to-apples way.
Lollll this made me laugh so so true

I sure wish we were in on him. Senior who does a lot of the things that we need
Maybe Brad discovered he has an extra year of eligibility and has decided he’s going to fill our SG spot himself.
I watched a few Memphis games during the year. Most memorably, he balled out in the Battle 4 Atlantis game vs Arkansas. 36 pts and 5 steals. He put them on his back in that game. So, Bardo's views surprised me a bit but he knows the game better than I do
Lonzo or LaMelo ?
insiders are awfully quiet last few days. what happened to all the excitement around here?

You seem to be the biggest realist among users with inside info…If you had to forecast now, do you think we will be excited with the roster by the time this is all done in June?

The NBA hates guys like that these days. Interesting conundrum.
Can Onyenso hang in there switched onto a super explosive wing? Can he hold his own in PNR coverage? Those look like pretty significant challenges for him from what I've seen.
I love the candor of the framing of this question.

Ray Charles has several great songs that do directly relate to aspects of Illini roundball. Like...
“What Would I Do Without You” (Ayo, Shannon...)
“Hit The Road Jack” (Any big Illini recruits that end up elsewhere)
“Hallelujah I Love Her So” (the State Farm Center)
“I Can’t Stop Loving You” (Basketball, in general)
“What’d I Say” (Loyalty posters searching the archives)
“Night Time Is The Right Time” (Illini evening tipoffs)
“Yes Indeed!” (When Hawkins or Shannon or Goode drained another Three)
“Give The Poor Man A Break” (Brad clears his bench when the The Beloved are way ahead to not embarrass the other side)
“Don’t Let the Sun Catch You Cryin’” (Illini Nation after a tough loss the night before)
“Get on the Right Track Baby” (An Illini gunner having an off-game)
“Drown in My Own Tears” (Illini Nation when the Beloved is thrown off the Madness Dance floor)
“I’m Movin’ On” (Illini players joining the Portal or the Association or a chosen profession)
“Tell the Truth” (the great Brian Barhart’s calling of Illini sports)
Anyone save the link? Asking for a friend...
I honestly feel like Harmon was good enough to be a pretty major contributor. I don't really know what happened but it was like he forgot how to play basketball.
