Kinda where I am with him. He picks up some silly fouls and loses his composure sometimes. His rebounding and foul percentages left something to be desired. I’d rather bring him off the bench.
Meh, I still view him as young ... look how much a player like Luther Head matured going into his upperclassman years. I think CoHawk will calm down a bit this season, and I think he has all the tools to be a stud. With that said, I think we will see this morph into RJ's team at an astonishingly fast pace. There were two times this year that our team was totally floundering - at Rutgers and vs. Houston - where RJ showed me what he was capable of as a go-to guy, and I was VERY impressed!

We aren't going to be ranked comparatively to last year's team or last year's field. This year's team is going to be ranked comparatively to this year's field. Illinois is not the only program with roster unrest on April 28th.
Especially within the Big Ten, a LOT of talent is moving on. Michigan looks "stacked on paper" and people are once again drooling over the idea of Indiana being good, but there is so much uncertainty in our league. For all we know, RJ is this year's Keegan Murray.

Pretty sure the starting decision is going to be made long after the transfer deadline.
When do players in the portal need to commit in order to still have eligibility for this upcoming season? So many dates to make note of as of late.

Pretty sure I didn't say *when* Hawkins would leave. But you best believe he ain't sticking around if he ain't starting. That's no knock on the kid or the staff. It's just the situation.
Okay, so you're saying he'll leave after this season of not starting. whatever.

the corollary to my hoping BU recruits over every guy on the roster forever is that he never promises playing time to anyone.

Even if I didn't know to expect news today, I would say this has been one of the quietest days in years.

Believe what you wanna believe. And you don't think Hawkins will have an idea where he stands until the season starts? LMAO. Gotcha. This is a recruiting thread, so I'll leave it at that. Done.

Crazy... especially considering that major college hoops outlets/reporters were saying buckle up for today's incoming news.
