    I've said that I would aim higher then Booth...BUT if they get a real 5, then I feel a bit better. Folks need to watch Booth a bit more, even if its a few highlights. I can see why they like him. - He has NBA athleticism. There are moves and dunks that he has that are jaw dropping. - He shot...

    I still remain a bit skeptical of Boswell, but am more then happy (and expect to be) proven wrong. I just don't see anything that really pops with him. Decent defender, shooter and ball handler, but I don't see elite athleticism, first step or explosion. I will really watch the shooting if he...

    Fears is...real, real good. If he stays on trajectory, that's an NBA player. Can't wait to see what he does with Fletch too.

    I hope Dain finds a good spot and it wasnt always pretty, but I did love watching his growth this year. Please get out of the big 10... We need a big, looking forward to who they target. I'd love to get some real size at the center position.

    I'm in...the intangible stuff can never be overlooked. At 6'6" he provides some size as well. I trust the staff on this one and I like the get.

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, March 30th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    I think Uconn is...nearly unbeatable. BUT I think we can hang with them if we play to our top potential. We absolutely have to hit from 3 and we absolutely have to play our best game defensively. Uconn is an absolute f******* unit...but let's play with em.

    Sweet moses this is bad shooting... They're hitting all parts of the rim in every direction.

    I don't understand the dislike for Storr. Storr is not Skyy Clark or Matthew Mayer. Clark CLEARLY being a selfish, me first player who is willing to turn his back on his teammates...and Mayer, while talented, was more of just a weirdo then a bad guy. IMO Storr has not shown to be anything as...

    Yea, with due respect but...I dunno how good Phoenix Gill is. He for sure is not a day 1 starter, will need time, is undersized and I don't think his ceiling is super high. Great if he wants to come aboard, but far from a priority I would assume. I wanna know where we are with Andreas Holst...

    Illinois 104, Fairleigh Dickinson 71 Postgame

    Glad to see a blow out win and I think we saw a bit of what we are going to need to do moving forward: - Dain is just too valuble down low. He is not a good defender, but it's a trade off I think we're gonna have to make more often - I need more of aggressive Ty. Without TS we'll need him to...
