    TSJ files lawsuit against Douglas Co. DA, Lawerence PD

    Also, in the age of NIL what was and likely are the ripple effects that took marketing opportunities for TSJ. Those opportunities are gone that TSJ lost because of this crap and may still be losing because even though he us innocent some companies will dustance themselves even now. This office...

    Illini Basketball 2024-2025

    Ty may start some games but by seasons end I expect him to be 8th or 9th in minutes logged with the guys we've added for him.to.compete with for tick. Just like hus PT decreased last season when teams didnt guard him. Unless of course he suddenly develops a shot which I doubt.

    Illini Basketball 2024-2025

    I feel Ty may start some games but in terms or minutes played unless his all around game has improved given our additions with potential NBA talent like KJ, Riley then Ty will play less than them. Also I think White and Ben are also better options than Ty. It will be interesting to also see if...

    I know Ty is a favorite around here but is he really a betrer all round player than White? Ty knows the culture and reps it but as an all round basketball player White and Ty are similar in size but White can do a lot of the same things as Ty plus is better on offense. It going to be a battle...

    According to LaTulip he was mid 30s from three when on catch and shoot. So often its about good shot selection and playing to your strengths. I do think Davis is a much better shooter on the move that Goode or Booth

    Plus Kasparas would potentially play multiple seasons, could be still growing and won't be 18 for a couple weeks. I like the future potential of him and he looks damn good already.

    Basketball is a global game and I doubt most have a clue who is actually out there over seas. Who heard of our new center, Demin, or this KJ kid who looks like a baller. They can find a quality guy and sleepers even hinted there are guys in the portal not made public the Michigan and Illinois...

    I would love Kasparas Jakucionus if the price is right. He looks very good and will only be 18 in a couple weeks and could possibly play multiple years. He is 6'4" and could be growing. I watched Piper today and he likes him too so I'm in if BU is after him. Piper said he out performed Demin...

    Well with Ben and Big T at the 4 and 5 I highly doubt he starts this year. He should play 15min or more. It will be interesting to see how the transfers in Booth, White, Ben and Davis effect sub patterns of BU as it pertains to Ty and Morez playing together or not given they aren't the shooters...

    We had 2 guys that were great last season and they were 1st team All B10. Hawkins was very, very good. Ty was solid but great is only how id describe TSJ and Domask and they contributed the most to our success. Ty has to improve at the rim, and shooting overall to be great but he does play...

    I am not so sure. TSJ is a year and a half older than Coleman and coming back he drastically improved his draft stock. If Coleman played this well on a bumm knee then maybe he could make a similar leap improving his shot even more while becoming even more mobile and versatile when healthy. I...

    For me if those numbers are accurate it would be a pretty easy one for about 420,000 reasons plus he seems to be having a blast kicking field goals too! Bird/sure cash in hand...and be set up.

    Have you watched elite first round picks? Taken over games like D Will, Nick, Kendall, Magic, and others first or second All B10 or even All American. Cam is not a first round pick imo nor is Coleman and they both will be playing college hoops next season if they wanna maximize future...
