Was too busy watching the Sox trying to give me a heart attack to see the Podz news. Wishing the kid all the best except if/when he faces us.
Conflicting insiders!Hmmm
You use them to describe your cakes in detail?
That word is almost the same as "moist" for me
Just as troubling is that original post got a handful of likes.Creepy
I was the one who said it….Conflicting insiders!
NOOOOOOOOOO! Dang it Man. This makes me very sad .
LOL! I didn't scroll back far enough clearly. Derp.I was the one who said it….
I think is in the way you read it...BT could be agreeing or disagreeing. Also you may be conflicted..lol.I was the one who said it….
One insider indicated podz wanted to start this year which was highly unlikely maybe decent minutes but nothing guaranteed
Highly doubt Podz is transferring because of his playing time last year. I assume it’s more so about playing time next year. So I don’t think the super seniors being a part of the team last year has much to do with this decision.
0440 so who wins when you are conflicting between yourself? Some of this stuff you just can’t make up. HahaI was the one who said it….

Same. I remember thinking to myself in the moment what a massive shot it was.I was in Evanston when Podz hit the Illini's biggest shot of the year, the 28-ft rainbow that got us back in the game which we needed for our B1G Championship.
God speed Podz and thanks from us all.
Agree on BU of giving Freshmen chances,, but I do believe BU slow played RJ this year (i.e. he could have given him more tick earlier)Two things I don’t get, why people keep thinking Podz was all world after his first season with very little time. And the narrative that Coach Underwood doesn’t play freshman. He’s played freshman a lot every year. Thanks for the info 0440,Lville, and Indy much appreciated.
I’m not what is technically an insider, but no. Between last year’s playing time and the athletic guards coming in…Yo insiders...was the podz news surprising
I probably very slightly agree but that point is debatable. It comes down to the value of points versus everything else, and I don't have all the stats/analytics to weigh that myself. It sure seemed based on the eye test that his other virtues were no longer clearly making up for his lack of points by the end of the season, but I don't think that's an open and shut case.Not really talking about Podz. I was specifically thinking DMW taking minutes away from RJ/Goode, which hurt us definitely in the tournaments.
I don’t think anyone believes Podz was “all world” but he’s a 6’5” scoring guard that can handle the ball and shoot the 3 that looked like he could compete at times. We return basically nothing at guard. Seems strange a kid like that didn’t see a future with significant playing time. Maybe the coaches told him he’d never start. IDK. But it’s a massive position of need for next year.Two things I don’t get, why people keep thinking Podz was all world after his first season with very little time.

I think by the end of this year it was pretty black and white. End of last year and earlier parts of this year he was effective. But he didn’t shoot 50% this year and basically stopped taking open shots. Developed this drive and pivot and turn it over move that he couldn’t stop going to. Teams stopped guarding him and it bogged us down. Previous year he was canning dagger 3’s when they do that.I probably very slightly agree but that point is debatable.

Wasn’t RJ hurt for a few weeks earlier in the season (Jan?), before the appendectomy? I think it was mentioned here and might have been why he didn’t get as much time.Agree on BU of giving Freshmen chances,, but I do believe BU slow played RJ this year (i.e. he could have given him more tick earlier)
