What could have been without a scrambled brain for 3 months. Alas, love you, Belo. St. John’s will be fun to watch next season.
You're going to have a tough time here if you think there was a lot of agony and hand wringing over the Curbelo transfer. LolRelatively new to this board. Has there ever been another transfer that caused so much agony, hand wringing, acrimony, regret, all at the same time?
What was it about him that was so whatever……
Not sure - Adam Miller's transfer produced an awful lots of hand-wringing last year. But we're (like every team in the country) going to deal with this type of situation every year. Three transfers out this year with two more weeks to enter the portal.Relatively new to this board.

I mean, the guy was all over the place this year? Generally, I think folks here are super supportive of him and his future endevours, but it was clear that there was tension between AC and the coaches later in the season, as well as players, at times last season. He was given a ton room to grow that last two years.Relatively new to this board.

It's simple. he was capable of the highest highs and the lowest lows. Some people cling to those highs and say just imagine what he could be when he gets it all together. Others cling to the lows and say, he hurts us more than he helps us, regardless how fantastic the highs are. We're better off without him.Relatively new to this board.

El Mago = JavyI'm going to keep rooting for the dude to make the next leap and make the best of his career. He made some plays the last two years that gave us two banners, some that made us cringe and also some that I'll personally never forget for the sheer audacity of them.
El Mago definitely kept us entertained, like a legend does.
I'm a die hard iIllini fan, alumnus and current student. My gratitude to the players who carried themselves with class and gave 110 percent. Belo is one of those players. He wasn't alright all season after he slammed his head diving for a ball.I will always miss freshman year Curbelo.
Headscratcher is putting it mildly. Lost a lot of respect for him as a team player after listening to that interview.I love the guy and wish him the best, but the chicken sandwich eating press conference where he basically said he was going to do whatever he wanted to do was a headscratcher.
Happy for Curbelo. Really hope he does well up there, and hope he’s treated better going forward by his new fans than he was by many of us.
