    Bro SoCal Illini ... Yes it is the way ESPN wants the top 25 to be rated. College bball DI ratings mean little until about mid January 12 to 15 games into the season

    I think bro Hawk has little to prove with another yr playing college bball. Likely NIL $$$ will be good for the Hawk in yr 5 Then on to Europe for a pro career.

    My take is bro Hawk is best to go pro. Being a low 2nd round draft pick is not encouraging. He can do better $$$ wise in one year NIL deal. After that ... the NBA try for a second time if his draft ability improves or, more likely, play pro in Europe.

    Projections miss the chemistry aspect of team play. Which is important with nearly the whole team being restaffed with different players each year. The true efficiency and winning effectiveness of a college bball team now surfaces and exposes its merits or demerits around mid January ... .

    Bro Illinidrew ... Exactly ... The last two bball seasons the Illini Nation has seen a chemistry mix disaster in 22/23 and a pleasant elite 8 mix in 23/24. The tea leaves read plus our Statistics 101 forecasts for 24/25 say the bball team mix probably is likely between the two past seasons. We...

    NBA Draft

    Bro Hawk ... Go pro ...you have nothing to.prove in one more yr in college. NBA 2nd round pick is good. G League maybe? Europe maybe a good ride too. But college NIL $$$ are likely out there. I suspect you have had enough of college. I was in a similar frame of mind after 5 student yrs and my...

    Yes bro Hawk is an Illini that will be missed. But with the portal transfers on board and bro Morez ...bro Hawk is a questionable fit. If Domask could get a waiver to play in 24/25, this would be a much better fit ... but won't happen per NCAA. ..

    Except 2023/2024 were not good defending in the paint and/or vs a mobile/athletic big. Even NUs Nichelson made the Illini look silly on defense at times.
