It’s not that he didn’t have to be a rebounder, he’s just not good at it. He’s too soft to play inside and completely forgot how to shoot the basketball this past season.

Yep, that’s the man. Played for him 60 yrs ago
Mark Smith just entered the portal. I tried to post this 5 minutes ago but I’m laughing so hard I can barely breathe.

- respect my decision™
replying to myself again, ugh.
Anyway, I forgot about Hutch. Assuming he's healthy, he'll probably be option 1A. Miller will be 1B. Good problem to have.
I think Brad should bring him back as a non scholarship player and put him in charge of treadmill maintenance.
Now that is funny isn't it. LOL
They got too many treadmills at Miznoz or something?
When little me initially became enamored with Illini sports nearly 60 years ago my three "heros" were Bill Burwell, Jimmy Warren, and Lloyd Flodin.

To me the 2 Indiana guards are a no brainer. Lander could use a curbelo to handle the pg load while he comes along. And I think Franklin is really good. Woulda looked much better on a better team. Play relatively small but how many huge centers do you have to worry about next year? No Garza, no trevion, no Johnson, no Wisconsin guys. Giorgi is fine and we’ll have long wings to slide in at the 4.

I think with or without Hutch, it's going to be more equal opportunity, even when it comes to taking the last shot. Which is just fine with me personally, since I thought Ayo's notoriety as "The Closer" made our end of game a little too predictable (granted, he somehow delivered every time despite that).
Completely agree. Everyone needs to be ready to shoot. Run some pick and roll action with Andre, and let him find the open man.
Hopefully we have enough players that no one will need to be “the Man”
Although if Adam transforms into the AceWolf, that would be nice.
I like the idea of not one closer, although if Kofi comes back I would feed him, we are at least getting a foul.
No it wouldn’t. Kid is who he is at this point. Would rather give Hawkins a chance 100%. At least he plays defense.
I like Cole and hope he works on his game over the summer. But we could use another big. But I get the hesitancy.
Can attest to the fact that Belo is working hard on his 3 pt range right now, based on his Instagram account. He has one, it's just a matter of unlocking it at game speed. He is going to make a big leap next year.
I would take Thompson over Reuvers if we're talking in-conference PF transfers.
That kid is tough.
Agree. Reuvers is soft. Reminds me of Nick Smith
Charmin-like... And as somebody else said, he also forgot how to shoot this year. That's a bad combination.
Not sure Kofi at the line in crunch time is always a good thing.

Reuvers is three kids in a trenchcoat.
Pass.
Pass.
Agreed, but he made the important ones later in the season and I don't see an alpha closer yet.

This is where someone like Myles Johnson could help. Giorgi can't guard Big 10 centers for 25-30 minutes a game.

Lots to choose from here......
1. Nick Anderson in 1989?
2. Tyler Griffey in 2013?
3. Other?
It's always nice to have choices when it comes to victories vs. Indiana!
