I sent in a brief area this season where he could make a spot up jumper and not to knock podz but I didn't anything yet as far as him being able to create space and create his own shot m aybe he does but to me tbh I feel like he still got to show that part of his game
To be fair he wasn't given the latitude to create his own shot. He was in there for a specific role as were the other freshman. Which they all did pretty well with the short leash they usually got.

1-3 interchangeable - we shrunk last year

2021 - Ayo 6'4" Miller 6'4" Trent 6' 1"
2022 - Trent 6'1 Plummer 6'1" Andre 6'1"
2023 - Skyy 6' 3" Epps 6'2" RJ 6'7" ?
Goode 6-7, and Podz 6-5. (according to official Illini athletics website).

We were after Boswell, and already had Epps on board, so we could wait on Fears.

Boswell didn’t work out obviously. Clark is much more on the level of Boswell than Fears.
If Clark can tighten up his defense, I think he and Boswell are pretty interchangeable.

Ill say they did know before anyone else did about Skyy but they backed off fears cause he can't shoot.
That is what I thought. Even if they knew Skyy decommitting, they could not bank on him coming to Illini back at the time. So it was not a choice between Fears and Skyy. It was a pure Fears decision.

Meechie Johnson portaling from OSU. Idk who they have coming in at PG but somewhat surprising with Jamari Wheeler graduating (I think).

Guess we won't have to worry about making room now, assuming Hutch and Grandy are in fact moving on.

Love his work ethic, but he didn't look like a Big 10-caliber player this year. Hope I'm wrong and he thrives somewhere else — and albeit he didn't play much, but he just didn't look like he quite had the speed/burst to keep up at this level. Wish him the best wherever he goes. A mid-major is probably a better fit for him, IMO.
