Ebo announced in early June, though it seemed to catch everyone by surprise since it was unusually late in the cycle. I wouldn't expect a similarly-timed announcement this year (though to be fair, we didn't expect it last year, either).
Tons of transfers already and regular season just ended. Hope Illini doesn't have any key losses to the current roster.
I guess pretty soon we'll know how active we'll be in the transfer market.
Justin Pierce, William & Mary, wants to come home. He's from Glen Ellyn. He's a good one!!
Benson just left NW so they will be really bad. I think Illinois or Wisconsin if he wants to stay close to home.
Jordan Ash too. What are they down to 5 scholarship players?? One more and they match us last year.
Pat Andree has already heard from Northwestern, Illinois, Santa Barbara, Seton Hall, Xavier, Grand Canyon, Charlotte, Sienna, Fordham & Vanderbilt.
42% from 3. I like that.

Am really surprised by that. Yeah, he'll get major minutes, but they're gonna suck next year. If success is part of the equation, I think many schools offer a better situation. And, no, I don't think he's coming to Illinois.
His dad is a Northwestern alum. Mom may be too. So, there's that. NU is close to home, but he was in Virginia the past 3 years.
Falzone also. Don’t pay much attention, but benson had the starting gig locked up after waiting behind pardon 3-4 years (rs?)
Both of his parents played at northwestern

When did we have a chance with Christie?
I don't know, man, I bet we get a courtesy visit from AJ Griffin.
We will definitely have a chance with AJ. Not saying we land him, but c'mon.
TJ Holyfield is officially in the transfer portal.
Yeah I don't buy that we don't have a chance either.
If Alan enjoys some sort of a sophomore breakout and we can make an appearance or two in the top 25 I think we'll get consideration. All we need to be able to prove is that we are one guy(younger Griffin) away from a top 10 caliber team.
If Morant can get drafted 3rd at Murray State AJ should be able to see he can go play with his bro and get drafted at illinois.
He has been on campus a bunch of times already.
Definitely a bigger chance than some people are thinking.
Getting Ayo more developed and into the lottery next year would be a huge boost and selling point.
If I had to sit for three years behind a guy named Dererk, I'd leave too.
I'm assuming that Collins' agent is furiously calling every NBA front office trying to line up an assistant gig. Northwestern basketball is back...
Can you tell me how to see the transfer portal.
I have heard the staff may take up to 2 transfers and one GT. Some names that have been thrown around are TJ Holyfield, Tulio Da Silva, Spencer Foley and Javon Freeman.
Enroll Kofi. Hope January is eligible. Staff still looking for a wing in '19. Tristan Enaruna is one to watch.
Expect our wing search to ramp up when coaches start leaving programs and kids starting getting their release. They have a kid in mind they really want if a certain coach leaves.
Taking in 5-6 for next year is a real possibility.
