5 for 27And can't seem to hit a three.
Obviously that can change and we all hope it does. I think I've read on here that he's deadeye in practice. But what is he in real games? 1 for 11 or something?

Leron Black didn't get there until his Junior year (possibly later part of Soph). But Giorgi's stroke looks pretty good.And can't seem to hit a three.

Don't forget January.Having a one and done 1st rounder from Chicago would do things for recruiting. You reference the national title game but that coaching staff was not good at recruiting. The only one that was even moderately competent was Tracy Webster. OA and Chin are in a much different league.
All these close calls with top recruits turn into more wins with a first rounder in your pocket.
The success on the court comes with talented players. With moderate to poor talent this team is competing. True they are not winning but they are not getting blown out of the gym even when they play very good teams. You upgrade the talent at a few positions and there is a much different product on the floor. That talent is more likely to come if Ayo is a 1st rounder.
In a perfect world you get a year of Ayo+ Kofi to not only show off the talent but to get a decent run (w-l). A line up with TF, AD, TJ, GB, and KC will definitely compete and should be a no doubt tourney team
Two be forreal ucla is without their top scorer and 2 big freshman out for the seasonHate to be a negative Nancy but looking at teams like UCLA with all this young 4 and 5 star talent it makes you wonder no matter what talent we bring in if Underwood’s system will ever work. I know are schedule has been brutal this season, and our roster is so young but you have to wonder how big a leap some of these guys make next year to even move us within range of the bubble. Adding Kofi is a start, but Underwood needs to change something fast because Kofi can be developed into an absolute beast down low because I know he has so much potential with that frame, or from looking at his highlight tapes never develop any post moves and solely rely on dunks and midrange. I love that he could be Shaq 2.0, but I have also rarely seen a hook shot or off the glass due to his superior size he has not needed to do that.
Wait til he drops 30 on Minny. He'll be a lottery pick!Man it funny ayo went from a bust to a potential 1 round pick
Ayo was at #24 in espn newest mock draft
Late first round IF he continues to improve seems plausible to me. NBA seems to value underclassmen potential more than 4 year guys. If it happens, that means we got to watch something special. Plus its a great selling point. Illinois can put you in the NBA in one year and you won’t be sitting on the bench at Kentucky.Ayo was at #24 in espn newest mock draft
Who knows what these kids are going to do.............Jeremiah Richmond anyone.
I just want Illinois to get good at basketball again, and that is a much easier task with a Sophomore Ayo on the team.
Yeah I saw that but there Top three scorers are all 5 stars in their freshman and sophomore years. They have a few other 4 stars sprinkled around their team too. I’m just saying that if those guys are losing to teams like Princeton and Belmont that there is no guarantee that if we keep getting guys like Kofi and Ayo that we win eventually. I fully have faith that we will, but I would like to see Underwood make some good adjustments. I don’t even care if we get blown out in the R64, just seeing Illinois make it back to that stage is a big step.Two be forreal ucla is without their top scorer and 2 big freshman out for the season
Well it beats what we have to sell at the moment!Remember how Meyers Leonard going 11th showed all these 5 star big men how Illinois could get them to the show??
Yeah me neither.

We do not need anyone one else jacking up 3's. I'll take a 15 foot pick-n-pop to go along with his back to the basket game.And can't seem to hit a three.
