I am very, very impressed that Underwood punted on the Ramey situation.
+1
If this thing's going to fail, at least it will look different than the last two times. All things considered, for now I am heartened.

Feliz getting stripped of his military rank mid-scrimmage seems like a bad thing
But seriously, the bolded appears to be a genuine piece of news.
Reclassified Okoro would fill the void as well. What is going on with him? Was he just completely put off with the product he saw on the court this year?
How many years can Feliz play at Illinois?
Okoro is deathly afraid of treadmills.
Last year at about this time the posters on this board were crying because we lost Tillman. He averaged 8 points and four rebounds for Missouri. I believe the incoming bigs will more than match those figures.

Love our bigs but not sure our best big averages more than 5 ppg.
Well that's one question answered. Still hoping for Hinson and a 5th year big.
A valid point so let's break it down..Ayo, Feliz, Griffin, Tevian, Giorgi and Samba. There is enough quality between the recruits and holdovers (Frazier/Williams/Jordan) to have a top of B1G backcourt or at least 1-3 positions. The problem, once again, is the frontcourt. Other than Kipper playing some at the four, which I believe will occur a good amount possibly starting there, the frontcourt is littered with underclass projects (Ebo, Vesel, Samba, Giorgi). The Illini have gotten taller but much more inexperienced and even less scoring than previously which is alarming.
The Illini must either get a starting ready stud recruit (Okoro) or a starting ready upperclasseman (preferably a 5th year but even a JUCO) or there is almost no chance of making the NCAA tourney next season. As I look at it that is the only real missing ingredient right now but it is a huge missing piece.
It appears now that we will not be having anymore players leaving the team. We have one more scholarship left.

I haven't seen anything that says Vessel is staying. If he leaves, he's probably going home. There is no need for him to do anything other than leave the program at a later date.
Not wishing for him to leave, but I'm not yet convinced he won't.

He was with the team yesterday and looked pretty good. I think he has a high basketball IQ and fits the system.
