Can we move on to other topics?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.
Frankly I would be surprised if TSJ ends up in an Illini uniform.Any updates on TSJ? Seems like it's been too quiet on that front.

Into your life it will creep...Paranoia runs deep...
Wait, what changed?Y’all are quick lol
I have nothing to base this on, but why do I feel like he'll end up at Indiana. Maybe because they could use a PG who can shoot.
I don’t think anyone called him all world. You can appreciate the effort he put out while he was here. It’s another case for those who liked looking forward watching the development of recruits.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.
Sure, it just feels like a lot of Illinois fans responses were along the lines of “this is a brutal loss, this really hurts the team,” when they should’ve been “Well, I liked him but he pretty clearly wasn’t good enough to play minutes for us. Hopefully he finds success at a slightly lower level.”I don’t think anyone called him all world. You can appreciate the effort he put out while he was here.

Do you have any other examples of Underwood favoring less talented upperclassmen while at Illinois? Or do you think this year was just a unique set of circumstances?He plays less talented and possibly/probably less effective older players in lieu of younger players. You can spin it however you want. It’s not that he doesn’t play freshman, he just generally doesn’t trust them as much and errs on the side of playing someone like DMW over RJ despite DMW providing nothing down the stretch. I’m a massive Underwood fan and this fact is plain as the sky is blue to me.
We like constant reassurance. Recruiting is fluid, etc etc

Dang. Bummed to see Podz go. Can't say I'm surprised given the buzz we heard during his recruitment about wanting to be like Tyler Herro (think that's a sliiiiight overestimation of his talent), but I really liked what he brought to the table, particularly in terms of work ethic and attitude. Would've been a great glue guy in the DMW mold if he were OK with a smaller role on really good teams. Oh well. I'll continue to root for him wherever he goes*.
How do I change my user name since Podz is in the portal? LOL
