Ayo and Ramey will be on the same team for the Iverson Classic this year. Could bode well for us.

Creighton will be doing a in home visit tonight with Mark Smith. That would be a good landing spot for him.

And they're teammates with Landers Nolley. No real point here, just sayin'.
Tejon was rocking Illini gear on a Snapchat the other day, not sure why you would wear illini gear if you are upset and plan on leaving but hey what do I know
Seton Hall, he will see the Delgado improvement and subsequent chance at the NBA and take that offer!
Just because a player transfers, it doesn't necessarily mean they are upset. It could be a matter of him not thinking he will be getting enough playing time with Trent and Ayo on the team.
Called that the day after the transfer announcement. McDermott and Smith seem like a good mesh and I think personally/athetically McDermott can do wonders for Mark.
Ah, Smith would flourish in a Creighton offense. In two or three years, we'll be posting about him saying "this is what could have been."
Take them both! I see Georgi putting on a few lbs and playing 4/5 and Hinson 4 and possibly a 3.

Decommitment?
:thumb:Third time's a charm!
Lucas, transferring did I miss something?
No, it is pure speculation. My guess would be Vessel or no one else leaves but that's a guess too based on Loren Tate's recent statement.

Smith had better do something offensively wherever he lands because he is one of the worst defenders at the college level I have ever seen. Kid also had 42 rebounds for an entire season, not good. He needs major work on his game. I watched Smith multiple times in high school and was thinking he would be a major contributor here but totally underestimated how bad he would be defensively. That is a part of his game that won't "fit" any system if he doesn't improve.

Speculation or actual knowledge?

Did Liddell play for the Eagles or Brad Beal Elite? And what kind of talent will he be playing with? I know they had a great roster last year so wasn’t sure if they will be able to reload.

Just because I stray doesn't mean I don't love my wi...err, I mean, good point.
If that is factual then why are they waiting to announce it? What's the purpose of waiting from thier perspective? I would think if they know that's what they are doing then they would announce it asap. The longer they wait others schollys are being filled in other landing spots. I could be wrong but if they know they are transferring then why wait to announce?
I imagine someone will transfer I just don't understand why they are waiting unless it's that they may stay if we don't land a someone that will likely take thier spot in the rotation.

It would seem they would announce if it were an absolute certainty. It appears maybe they are weighing their options.

I , also hope that MS does well in his next stop...I also agree that he was one of the worst defender's that I can remember....He is very tight in his hip movement and that usually meant he was a step behind in his reaction to defensive positioning....he always seemed to have a deer in the headlights look when he was in and didn't display the play of an experienced defender which ,IMHO , detracted from his offensive abilities....
In high school he could bull rush the rim and usually get his shot off with a foul called, but repeatedly got stuffed at the collegiate level...His confidence level shrank as the season progressed and instead of fighting thru it he decided to transfer out...
So be it...it's his choice....good luck....but he didnt
give me any hope that he would be a major contributor in the near future....
Absolutely nothing. Just more unfounded speculation.
That's my point. It was in response to Statefarms post. That's why I quoted him.

I have no clue if TJL is transferring or not, and I'll wait to hear it from an authoritative source.
But yeah.....him sporting Illini gear doesn't really mean much. I mean, he's currently attending the school, right? And has played two years for the Illini. I imagine that if he's looking to move on, it's not because he hates Illinois, but because he believes he'd be a better fit someplace else. These things aren't always personal.
