Evan Maya on Richmond:

"Richmond is the best transfer in the portal. His offensive value is really high, and his detensive
impact Is outrageously good...."

#2 on his list is also pretty good.

Missed the news yesterday. Great get and fills lots of gaps. OA already paying off. So what's our projection for filling the remaining spots?

If we do end up missing on Demin, is it plausible/possible that we land a portal guard/wing for the “2” (using the position terms loosely) and then still be able to afford to pay Coleman enough to come back and play the “3”? Would we want that? Would he want that? Insiders have said for a...

Will Rez be starting? I think he'll be first one off the bench at the 4 behind Humrichous.

"Demin is by far the preferred wing. Kadary Richmond is more of a combo-guard and not a very good shooter."

"Richmond is likely landing at St. John's as well, been that way for a while. If they got a kid from college that's not Demin I think it would be someone not named Richmond.

That being said, I think there is a better than 50% chance we get Demin right now"

"If Demin wants to play college ball. He will be an Illini. Money is not a factor here. Just a matter of what Egor wants to do."

Kadary had a dominate game against UConn when they beat them this year 23 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 8 steals! I'm just saying - that would be nice i’m always confounded misspelling

Wing and back up PG. We don't need another big. Brad will leave a spot open.

 

[Bbuck21]

You know, I just realized that Brad is no different than I was back when I coached all those house league teams. Every year you have to learn all those kids' names. It's exactly the same.

100% We leave that scholarship open

Wondering if Sanderson is still with the Illini? With basically a whole new roster he could provide help for Fletch in S&C development.
