yes I know....
Kyree Walker
I do think with Patterson or Walker you get a better ball handler then you do with Brown, but Brown would fill the teams needs as well. Getting one of these guys would be huge and would put a bow on this recruiting classyes I know....
I agree, we will have an easier non conference schedule to manage, and probably could go within 1or 2 games of .500 in the BIG with that roster. Still don’t think that we will be a tournament team but I could see us sitting on the bubble throughout the season.
I think I am just used to disappointment lol. But I’m also one of the people who think Ayo will declare for the draft after this season so that goes with my expectation. If he comes back I think we could nab a 8/9 seed.I think you've got an inflated view of what it takes to make the tournament in light of our recent terribleness. That roster might not immediately contend for the B1G, but it would be better on paper than at least half the tourney teams, I'd estimate.

Agreed, don't think we go wrong with any of them. In order of wish list however...Brown, Patteson, Walker
Christian brown, Kyree Walker, Addison Patterson, Kahlil Whitney hell take them all. If any of them commit they can’t get here fast enough.This team needs a 6’7-6’8 playmaker who can put the ball in the hoop. Why haven’t we reached out to LaMelo Ball?
LaMelo Ball?
Higgs was pretty explosive in high school. Hopefully looks at the big picture and is willing to develop over the years. Might be in the rotation in a couple of years.
I really want Christian Brown at Illinois, I think he is a great fit for this offense.
You mean he's a perfect fit in that he might actually score reliably for us at the wing? I agree, we need anyone who's a semblance of a shooter. Could really use freshman JCL back.
Still think AG can be one of those guys.
games, I think people should temper expectations for him being a NBA first-rounder next year. He still has some issues finishing against size in the paint, way too inconsistent of a three-point shooter and I think he still is too much of a shoot first PG, even when he obviously isn't hitting shots.I think I am just used to disappointment lol.

look at michigan big core as freshman
Zavier simpson - 9 mpg , 2 ppg , 1.0 apg.
(at UK) Charles Matthews- 10 mpg, 2 ppg , 0.4 apg (not a big passer)
Jon Teske - 3 mpg , 0.3 ppg , ( not going shown apg).
the thing is i know you guys are mad that underwood is not playing the freshman but it can be a good thing one thing if you play the freshman right now and continue to lose then they can lose confidence and don't care now more but let then sit and learn and maybe it will put it in there mind that maybe they should work harder on the little thing all of these player have great potential and teivan has Charles Matthews like potential. One more thing if kofi cockburn can lose a little bit of weight the he might make a caleb swanigan purdue type impact
I honestly wonder at this point - what is the difference between us and a middling B1G team, and a team competing for a B1G title? Not even being snarky for once. I really want to know how far off we are...I think you've got an inflated view of what it takes to make the tournament in light of our recent terribleness.

I feel like that gap is pretty wide. Given talent losses around the league from this year to next, I'd say that the door is open for us to finish about eighth even without a massive leap forward, especially if Langford bolts from IU. (I'm thinking that PSU and Rutgers will continue to struggle, Northwestern and Nebraska lose about 75% of their production to graduation, and IU and Minnesota have some nice pieces left but will be very young after they lose key players.) That's a bubble team even without adding too much more than what we have committed from the 2019 class at this point.I honestly wonder at this point - what is the difference between us and a middling B1G team, and a team competing for a B1G title?
