    Brooks for Nicholson, Tobe, and McCantos is a fun hypothetical trade. Brooks is undoubtedly an upgrade. He’s the most trustworthy secondary piece on the roster, health and performance wise. Would love another cornerback with experience and some risk (knowing that getting someone better than that...

    I read a Pravda article this morning saying he's headed to UC Santa Barbara

    You have to be a true believer in Allen Iverson gif for this one. That’s what makes it so intriguing, Silver has been trumpeting the past six months that international bball, especially Euro ball, has surpassed the American model because they do way more practice and drills. College coaches are...

    Would we or Fears call it a success if he averaged less than 5ppg?

    Jakstys might as well be perceived as not here because, redshirt or not, he's not playable as a freshman. Two scholarships open is effectively leaving three scholarships open. One or two injuries, with a team well constructed with complementary parts, could be problematic. I would be more than...

    Missed the news yesterday. Great get and fills lots of gaps. OA already paying off. So what's our projection for filling the remaining spots? Wing (Starter - Difference Maker) Big (Banger - Rebounder - Limited Minutes) PG (Traditional Lead Guard - Limited Minutes)

    2023 Illinois Defense TDs allowed in first half: 24 TDs allowed in second half: 18 Turnovers were an issue, especially were unfortunate with turnover luck on fumbles creating immediate points. I do think the interception issue was a little overplayed because the Penn State interceptions became...

    No. But payments made to collectives are walking a legal tightrope and *are* deductible (for now).

    This is a rationale approach for fandom but this is a message board. If you want patience and you want to wait to comment after everything is done, this is not the place for you.

    He made a massive leap this year. eFG% above 50%, his offensive/defensive splits are pretty elite last year (not so much before then), good rebounder for his size.

    I'm not worried, but if you gave me a choice to have Dainja back on the roster right now, it's an easy choice. The roster needs starters and bench players, so the team role is a moot question (from a fan's perspective).

    88th in returning production for this year. Best QB in program history just left. Best coach in the last 30 years just left. I'll need to see a lot this year to confirm Duke is on a different level than pre-Elko.
