This is the greatest point of all time.
Just happened to coincidentally vacation annually in Hawaii for a number of years with this guy and his wife (Katharine Ross). Got a big kick simply out of hearing Sam say "good morning" each day!I guess you're using the other definition of shady, but this is what I call a shady mustache. You could take a peaceful nap out of the heat under that thing.

Butttt I thought Nance was heading to the NBA???Vecenie's NBA Draft Board 4.0 came out today ($): https://theathletic.com/3277809/2022/05/02/2022-nba-draft-big-board-jabari-smith-chet-holmgren/. Kofi's #81. No Nance.
I recommend you schedule a doctor's appointment ASAP to get your sarcasm-meter checked.Saying Goode and #2 spot in the same sentence here will bring discontented reactionary wrath by a few here. Say "wing." The truth is Goode really does not have the ball handling skills to be a #2 spot in the truest sense of the word, I'll give them that. But keeping him out of the starting lineup is imho, at least for the first half of the season, is a mistake. I have read that the coaches are really working on RJ's ball handling skills. RJ and Goode need to play together and heavy minutes. They are best friends, and Goode is going to be a vocal leader. Ty Rodgers is more of a true #2, but he is a freshman. We'll see how the starting lineup progresses as the season unfolds. Trusting the coaches.

Butttt, care to respond to this? Your reButtttal?Butttt I thought Nance was heading to the NBA???
Quality bigs are a bigger unicorn than people realize in college basketball imo. There's only so many "True 5's" out there whereas scoring 2 guards are very dime a dozen in the high school/college ranks. How many people near 7 foot exist at all, and are able to move well at that size with their center of gravity? Just not that many. It's easy to look at Kofi and think "yeah, he's so big and overpowering, of course he was great" but he was "only" a top 50 recruit that became a 2X All American, so in actuality he wildly overachieved his recruiting ranking and got quite a bit better throughout college. Ebo... Hamlin... Lieb, all those guys were true longshots to ever turn into anything.I will say. I think the staff has earned some credit on developing guards and wings. But I’m still cautious when it comes to their big development. Kofi was a 4 star. Obviously they improved him to an AA level. Giorgi was okay. But a lot of the fliers (lieb, Hamlin, vesel, ebo, Higgs, bbv) haven’t really panned out yet. Brandon lieb has double the amount of college points that Dain does. I’m very excited about this roster. But not having an experienced quality big worries me. Really hope to land a big that played 15-25 minutes in a quality conference for some insurance on dain.
Tyler Underwood has eligibility and will start at 2 *flips over chair backwards*

As much as I would love to start, Podz GF posted on Instagram the staff promised her the starting gig at the 2
The fact this wasn't in the original meme somehow is its only weakness.Tyler Underwood has eligibility and will start at 2 *flips over chair backwards*
I could see Goode starting a few games during the season, or at least it wouldn't shock me, but because they are best friends is an interesting take, and RJ has handles enough to play the 2I don't even know where to start.....
I think they would prefer not to have to start him....he is just limited athleticallyI could see Goode starting a few games during the season, or at least it wouldn't shock me, but because they are best friends is an interesting take, and RJ has handles enough to play the 2

I must have pulled up an old list.I believe he already committed to another mid-major. Can’t recall the school atm.
not necessarily because he's outplaying everyone, sort of just he knows his role and if someone were to be banged up or slumping, insert Luke. I agree, with our roster right now I don't see Luke starting in any hypothetical lineup.I think they would prefer not to have to start him....he is just limited athletically
But he's got such a pretty quick shot, my Bulls hopes and dreams were set ablaze by Grayson Allen and Pat Connaughton, I hope Goode can be that type of guy next year for us.I think they would prefer not to have to start him....he is just limited athletically
Jalen Brunson had a pretty successful freshman season.Agreed. I have no qualms about starting ultra talented freshman guards. Had I never seen Dee Brown as a frosh, Frankie Williams as a frosh and Derek Harper as a frosh, I might feel different.
Yea I could definitely see Rodgers at the 2, just don’t know if we will have enough minutes to spread around after Goode and Ayo…Saying Goode and #2 spot in the same sentence here will bring discontented reactionary wrath by a few here.

It's nice that Illinois basketball has finally reached the level of recruiting that we are having conversations about how we can get enough tick for talented players as opposed to figuring out how we can have serviceable players to give starters a rest, deal with injuries or have solid backups to players who get into foul trouble.

That sounds like an interesting idea, but I'd allow 1 type of worded post...the proverbial "I've been doing X all day, can someone summarize for me what's been going on?" I'd love to see the response to that.We seriously need a pinned thread that is only meme pictures. 0 typed words allowed.
