Do we have the rides for more 22's?
That depends on how we count. The Scholarship Grid is here. https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/post/scholarship-grid.26498/page-6 Be sure to scroll all the way down.

We are allowed 13 scholarships next year. At the moment, all thirteen have committed players. If Hutcherson returns from a medical redshirt and Grandison decides to be a "super senior", then we will have fifteen players in thirteen slots. "Super seniors" such as Trent and DMW do not count against the limit this year, but they will count in future years.

If Grandy and Hutch leave, and Kofi goes pro, we will have one opening for next year. If more players leave for any reason, we will have more openings. Who else is going to leave? Well, every year I convince myself that everyone loves Illinois and no one is going to leave. I have been wrong every single season so far. In my defense, I will say that I twice predicted Kofi's return, so I don't always get everything wrong.

So, depending on how we count, we could be over-committed by two, or we could have 1 to 4 or thereabouts left to give. We all know BU knows how to count, and we also know that even BU can be surprised. I don't think even BU foresaw Adam Miller's departure.

I want another year of Grandison! I have a guess on a transfer but will hold off until I feel stronger about it.

With all the scouting services and AAU games, does anyone believe there are still diamonds in the rough out there. The seven feet three kid from Bartlett High School might be one. Any info on him

So we were at 12 schollies before Dainja committed so now we are full for this year.

We have 3 2022s committed Going into next year we lose Plummer. Kofi I’m sure is gone. Guessing Grandi is most likely not back as he’s a 5th year guy already and think he might have done a year at prep school before HC. So would guess he’s ready to move on but if he wants to come back you figure out a way to make it work.

And more likely than not we will have at least 1 transfer so odds are we will have at least one more ride next fall if BU wants to fill it.

We will be pretty young next year so I think we might be better off banking any rides and using on transfers.
