We have to change our offense if Kodi and January are coming here. You can't run the pinch post with them up high. Will have to figure out how to get them in isolation in post, possibly pick and rolls which I have yet to see in the Underwood offense. Hopefully he can mesh all this talent together to be able to compete in the Big by next year.

But our current offense is working so well....

My guess would be Higgs. Is he even with the team?

He is. Likely redshirting due to injured and not in great shape when he arrived. Not expected to leave, but I guess that could change. If he transferred he would have to sit out right?.. which would be 2 seasons in a row missed. Highly doubt he would want to do that.

If some of these players do come to Illinois will all the Underwood bashers change their tune?
I’m standing on the train platform with my cup on, looking at the schedule for the Underwood Line.

You usually change when you get better players, and having a presence down low changes how we can can play offense and defense now, great news! I'm with MC can't hurt much, a good problem though. No offense to GB or Samba.

No Foby lol. But Higgs is not the player being referred to for those wondering. But I won't say who for respect for the player and staff, in the hopes he does change his mind and stays. He could still be a really big player for us in the future so I hope they are able to turn him.

Especially with the re-sale recruiting pitch they are pushing to him, that if he stays past this year, he can move back to his natural position (positonless basketball, LOL)... Which the staff thinks would allow him to be the player he's always envisoned being here and lite a fire ubder his arse!! Because he needs it!!

EDIT: Not too hard to pick up on who im talking about. But still wont say any names and I think we should continue to be covert about this convo for respect to the player and team lbs.

This is the last ill say... I know a lot of ppl are down on this player, but he could still really be a huge piece to our program in a make or brake year next year. And that staff knows this. So please support him and encourage him even through all his struggles this year, because there is assurdely more struggles and adversity coming his way..

He sacrificed his vision and goals for the team during his time here, so let's respect the process and give him our full support... Regardless of what he decides to do!

We are Illini!! Stay Classy!! 🔶🔷🔶🔷
