Was Nance invited to Combine or G League Elite Camp?

Well now.

Such a waste of potential. Reminds me of a more high-profile Jereme Richmond in a lot of ways.
Glad we backed away there. I can see how it makes sense for a desperate program like DePaul but this guy and his camp (father mostly) are incredibly toxic and have the potential to just drive a team into the ground with his attitude and approach. The biggest red flag is how noticeably better Memphis was without him, to a degree that is basically statistically certain that it was not a coincidence or variance.

To play devil's advocate here, Bates may be 100% correct if the things he told recruits were along the lines of "Penny can't coach."

I’ll never forget watching you play in the scrimmage in Ubben on your official visit. We wanted you as an Illini then, and we’re thrilled that you have committed and signed now. Welcome, Terrence, to the
Basketball family. Illini Nation looks forward to seeing you don the Orange and Blue.

Hey now
I heard recently that Walken doesn't have a cell phone or computer. Not sure how he became king of GIFs.
Proof that you can be right and still be in the wrong.
Memphis is like the La Brea tar pit of college basketball. Stinky, slimy, and littered with the carcasses of once promising careers.

in other words. I am going to be selective and likely only play 9-10 guys. To keep current roster happy and any additional potential portals happy (especially for future years) we will be very selective for additions but look forward to practice battles that will determined PT
I really hope we don't actually keep 2 rides open. That would mean we're going in with 10 'real' scholarship players (plus Lieb), with 4 being true freshmen. That's awfully thin. I can see Underwood being frustrated at a crossroads with these guys that there's no room to play that will just leave (Podz types) but we need depth/competition at all spots because inevitably some of the guys you have won't be good enough. 2 open rides means we almost can't afford to be way off the mark on anyone (no Omar Payne types). Right now for instance, you're probably counting on Ty Rodgers being able to play the College 4 and Dainja to be able to give you serious minutes at the 5. If they can't, that's going to create issues (even with Nance) because Coleman and Nance can't be expected to play 35 minutes a night each night every game of the year.

My take: gotta get a 5. Get the right guard, then take him. Leave a ride open. Can't get a good fit at guard, leave two rides open.

Not sure how serious the discussion about the mullet guy from Baylor was, but he is officially in the transfer portal now.
Welcome to the party!
So we're going to pull a Michigan and only play 4 games? Do you think JW can get Warren to declare us champs?
Guessing it's Nance OR Mayer, not both. And I'm still highly curious which transfer guard Underwood really wants (if anyone).
