Sencire was great defender at guard position but "shooting" could never be used to describe his position.

Illinois stunk (Moeller Valek) and was mediocre (Blackman) in late 60's and all thru 70's. I went to school in 80's when Mike White was selling out Memorial Stadium 70,000 seats per game. The crowds were so loud that the concrete started falling off the bottom of 2nd deck and they had to...

He played very well against Illinois. Would be very mature and experienced playing his 5th year. 24 years old. I would take him immediately if we don't get a star out of the NBA combine.

In the old days after the HS basketball tournament ended you might read a Loren Tate column in NG that Illinois is recruiting so and so and the main competition is Indiana or Michigan. Generally the staff kept it pretty quiet and and you would learn on day after LOI day where kids were going...

Still hoping for more portal transfers. We need size in backcourt and more athleticism. Pac12 additions - 2 very good and 2 bad

I like. Played 2 games at SON 2022-23. No idea where that is. Looks like nice all around player on winning team WSU was 25-10 2nd in Pac12. Lost to Iowa State in 2nd round NCAA. Not sure he is dominant scorer but we have added 6 players that averaged between 10-15 ppg Boswell, Hamrichous...

Charlie V had verbally commited to Illinois. Switched to KS when Self moved. I got by BSEE and MSEE from Illinois. I never transferred somewhere else. I am Illini for life. JMO --If you leave for another University and are still alive then you are no longer Illini for life.

JMO -Green has a choice 1. keep playing her current core which is size and athleticism limited. May get her a slightly beter record for 2024-5 but not significantly. 2. Give significant playing time to new players who have more upside and sacrifice some early regular season wins to be better...

Egor we hardly knew you. The internet rumors about BYU were not very credible. It is always a long shot bring in European players. Gonzaga and AZ seem to have the formula down. Everybody else not so much. Look how Big Z could not play till Jan for KY last year.

I am hoping he is on free throw line with Illini up 1 with 3 seconds to go. We forgave him because he was a 4 year player. At UConn UNC they will curse him as incompetent hired gun.

Its one thing to return home to a Big Ten champion team (TSJ) or an BTT champ elite eight team (Tre White, Kylan Boswell). We have been a very successsful MBB program since 2020. The WBB program was very bad for 15 years. Finally barely getting to post season for past 2 years average 3,700...
