I keep hearing Damonte being back but I have not heard anything from Damonte or anyone close to him about coming back

Note - the above post should not be construed as having anything at all to do with the decisions of any present or future Illini players.

SInce he already transferred once (from UNLV) wouldn't he have to sit a year if he transferred again? ... (assuming he hasn't graduated yet)

I think this is now my 2nd favorite Loyalty gif. The dancing Weber will never be beat, but I love this one.

He does. Until you consider his ask: relative on staff (source is an insider ). Not gonna happen.

I thought it was his prep school coach and former UMass assistant, Tony Bergeron?

I may be wrong, but think I have this cleared up. The current transfer waiver appears to br covid related. From what I can gather, all D-1 athletes can transfer to another D-1 institution and be immediately eligible. In addition, the 2020-2021 season does not count toward eligibility. Also, the NBA has determined that anyone who wants to be eligible for the draft must declare.

Meanwhile, the NCAA is considering granting a permanent one time transfer waiver rule. This would likely exclude those who already transferred. It was tabled until the Court rules on NIL legislation.

Can this guy stream video

Can Melendez possibly slide into a stretch 4 role? I know he is super athletic with really good length.

I want Hawkins there! He needs to develop... He has a tremendous skill set!

Was that gif an Illini original or come from Goemaw, and find a second home here?

 

[CoalCity]

He's 4 inches taller than Damonte who played the 4. Also more athletic.

DaMonte is as strong as an ox, that helps him a lot. Doubtful that a wiry freshman is anywhere near as strong.

I believe sacraig created it...I'm just a poacher

It actually makes me have to look away. Like a tarantula. I don’t understand why everyone loves it. I am pretty sure I’m the only one here who doesn’t love it, but I single-handedly balance everything out with how much I hate it.

Nope. I had nothing to do with that gem.

I didn’t get it until I saw the head bob at the end. Now, I watch it at least twice every single damn time someone posts it. Freakin love it!
