Any truth to the rumor that Griffin's younger sister, Aubrey, is considering UIUC?? She's currently a Junior and supposedly a suoerstar. Anybody??

Pretty sure he just says "I want to score in the first 7 seconds....IF POSSIBLE... then run offense until we get a good shot." That is just to emphasize transition and catching defense off guard.

It was highlighted aignificantly during preseason an but rarely discussed during season before/after games. Dont think it really is a focus area....but sounds cool during offseason media talk.

What are the odds that E.J. Liddell wins Mr. Basketball as a junior? He was awarded the Gatorade POY for Illinois last night. The only person to win Illinois Mr. Basketball as a junior: Jabari Parker.

It's the same with banking free throws.

I am PE teacher. I actually attempted to bank in my free throws the other day! Made the 1st one. Then missed about 7 or 8. I should add that I am not a shooter whatsoever!

After watching those highlights I have a few concerns to help temper expectations for Griffin.

I would agree with tempered expectations. He's got good length, hits the 3, and seems to play at a high pace. However, he looks like he has a lot of room for improvement.

I like the pickup because he looks like a good fit overall. I think he's got a ways to go before he's BIG caliber starter. Good chance to see what Underwood can do as a coach.

Didn't see that anyone pointed out, but 2 more 247's for us for Tevian this morning. Chris Fisher & Jerry Meyer. I know. I know. Grain of salt. FWIW.

Maybe Black can now move out to the four spot and not have to counted on so much to guard the bigs in the post.:thumb:

Some of the info I see on Samba lists him as class of 19. Bad info or did that change?
