Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
Agree as he is in a position of need and has experience. Even with Giorgi playing the 4 there is no established big backup.This is why a guy like Holyfield would be a very good get. He has already played in this system. Recruits don't need to be "saviors" they just need to be better than what we have. The Illini are not far from being a tournament team. They have guys on the roster who should hopefully improve enough to at least get us on the bubble next year. They don't need saved, but they need as much help as they can get. A rebound here or there might be the difference between dancing, NIT, or watching everyone else...again...
There are 40 minutes available for a 5. If Georgi and Kofi each gets 24 minutes there are only 8 minutes when both would be on the court. Put another way,, Georgi would be on the court for 16 minutes without another post player, assuming Samba is not contributing. That leaves 32 minutes for another 4.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
"Portal GIF" returns some pretty entertaining results...
Yes what does that mean
Maybe Christian Brown is going to de-commit and visit Champaign.
I got so excited I peed a little!Rumble, rumble, rumble.
I thought maybe Bill Self was leaving Kansas to be on Underwood's staff because he doesn't like to leave a job unfinished.
I assume it means he is hearing some rumblings.
Yeah man it is crazy to give up on Samba. Let me remind folks that Egwu averaged 1.9ppg, 0.6 bpg, 1.5 rpg. All with 10 minutes per game. I dont even think Kane has scratched the surface of what he will be in a couple years.

Anyone have any information on what type of player Anthony Higgs is? Did he practice this year with the team and if so how did he do? He obviously has some bulk but I haven't heard much of anything about how he looks on the practice court. Assuming he stays he would be another 4 to consider.
Doesn't have to get time over them. As previously noted plenty of time relieving them. Need him or Antwan to step up to cover those minutes. Last year Giorgi could only dribble around cones, this year can't shoot from beyond ten feet.Egwu also had to play behind a lottery pick. Leonard played 32 mpg that season.
Giorgi was awesome, but only played 26 mpg due to foul trouble. Adonis was arguably the worst big man in the conference. If Samba can't get playing time this season then I find it very hard to see him getting significant time over an improved Giorgi, Kofi, and hopefully a PF/C grad transfer who is better than Adonis.
Giorgi played 30 minutes per game....Which is on average with other 4/5s in the Big Ten....
I think his shot will improve over the summer where he can make people honor his outside shot and make him that more effective.Doesn't have to get time over them.

There will be plenty of PT for another 4 and 5. We need bigs and a shooter.
Higgs will never step on the court at SFC as a player. Since getting on campus it's been discovered that he has epilepsy and his siezures have gotten worse so at this time it looks like his playing days are over before they ever started.
