I like most fans are extremely excited by this team. However we should remember we are replacing a first team BIG, a second team BIG, and a third team BIG along with a first team all defensive team player. We always seem to value the newcomers more than the players we have. High ceiling but nowhere close to the floor of last years team with one third team B12 player, an experienced role player, a returning rotational player and a bunch of talented rookies.

No matter how great the past was you can’t keep reliving the past,you got to move on.

Last year’s floor was pretty low with all the injuries.

Well said...if we have a more conventional preseason...we should have a good feeling of the direction of the roster...I personally can't wait to see the possibilities...anyone agree....?

They need to check their spam filters. They clearly haven't been getting emails from IllinoisLoyalty.

Seems aggressive to have TSJ that much lower than McCullar. Good bulletin board material for several players.

They sure like Trayce-Thompson! What has he ever done to rate the 8th best player in the country? I guess we'll find out!

Nice to see 3 on the list but they may have missed our 3 best players next year...RJ, CoHawk, and Bryce Hopkins!

I threw this list out when I see TJD at #8. I think it is mostly about the preseason IU hype. TJD is good but not #8 good in the nation.

agree 10000000000000000000000 %.....................................TJD the most overrated player in player ranking history.............can't hit a shot from 4 feet from the basket........

JMHO
