I would have a hard time saying Marcus, the guy did play all 5 spots for us as our 6th man in 89
In regards to 2018 scholarships...
A lot can happen over the next year.
1. Someone can realize they aren't going to get the playing time they want and decide to tranfer.
2. The coaching staff could kindly tell one of the players that they may be better off transferring
3. Someone could become homesick/have family issues that cause a transfer.
4. Black or Finke could be Grad transfers.
5. One of the Juniors that didn't reshirt could graduate in 3yrs and be a Grad tranfer.
6. Someone could get in trouble and get kicked off the team.
With all the transfers over the last 5-10yrs nothing would surprise me. I trust that the coaching staff will be more tuned in to all of this!
I see we are having our annual 'UI MBB player who didn't meet our lofty expectations' discussion.....
McBride was huge in high school, a Springfield legend. He was a good college player, but was never the superstar that followed his early hype.
Yes, but wasn't he the #1 recruit in the country coming out of high school?[/QUOTE
well he did make the NBA, and hard to fault a guy who played with the guys who started in 89 as not doing much
Who are the ex-Illini players who had the biggest gaps between Fan hype/expectations and actual results? Jereme Richmond is probably the headliner, but there must be others...
I'm curious if Williams will lose any athleticism because of his injury.
Olaf Blab......
I partied with Olaf Blab and Scott Hafner back in the day. I swear Olaf had a hollow leg that he filled up with beer when he was drinking...

I would think Mike Shaw would be up there, going a ways back Taylor Brooks, Maybe Nunn, D Paul
Following a busy Tuesday in which 2017 point guard Trevon Duval visited campus and junior guard Grayson Allen announced he would return for his senior season, Duke is slated to have an in-home visit Wednesday with 2017 guard Mark Smith. “Yeah, Duke is in my home,” he said by text Wednesday.
