Sencire also doesn't impress me as someone who would back down from a challenge vs pushing himself to his own limits

Harmon is just a depth piece coming off the bench. With how some of the fans are reacting, it’s like he’s their biggest target in the portal.

Getting the ball passed into the shooting pocket will do a lot for shooting percentages.
I see. Thanks.
Pre-boom?Hey it could be a pre boom too since there are going to be more additions at some point
Yep. The ball not getting consistently stuck, resulting in a contested, bailout three with the shot clock hitting zero should also bump the numbers.

Some would say the best
Those are Sophmore and Junior Year stats. I think he went to a Juco his freshman year. I Google his name and there’s a 4 minute long clip of highlights against other teams (Wake Forest included) where he looks pretty athletic. The clips ahow he does have some play-making/passing ability but they also actually show some turnovers.
From the videos against Cinicnatti and that video, he looks pretty athletic to me. I’ll trust the coaching staff.
Some schools list you as a Jr because they know you have the covid year left. Harmon played 2 years at Barton Community College according to his Utah Valley bio.
Which is solid. Better than what we had at pg last year
Got it. Nice catch. It lists his 2nd year at Barton (20-21) as RS-SO and says they only played 22 games. That was the COVID year. Then 21-22 is listed as his SO year at Utah Valley.
Standing next to the shortest kid doesn't make you any taller. It's not going to get any easier moving up to the Big Ten. Looks like both in community college and Utah Valley his first season he shot 30% from 3 and the 2nd season 34%. Would tell me adjusting to better competition was a challenge but he was able to adjust and improve. But that also makes me expect him to shoot 30% from 3 next season after another step up. If he shoots 34% that would be great, if he shoots any better that's a very nice shock.
But if I'm expecting 34% at best from a 2G. That is not exactly enthralling. Neither of these 2 commits particularly excites me. Though I'm on record as saying I prefer younger players that can develop. However, if this very poorly shrouded rumor that Tyger Campbell will join the team is true, then it's possible both of these guys are backups. Then you say fine, you're not going to get top transfers to come if they're not going to start.
A whole lot better, even at the walk on position. Left a scholarship to be a walk on. Our bench is going to be some teams starters. Brad is putting all the right chess pieces in place right now, he does not like losing. I think we are going to be in for an exciting end to the transfer season. And this team will be heading overseas to build a bond and play some games in August so they will have film to study before non-conference starts.
Look out. Whoever Brad puts together this year will be scary for any team whom steps on the floor with us. I’m excited.

Just watch this the other day.
This is not the best part in the world.
It's a tribute to the best part in the world.
I really love this kid!!! He's going to be a Illini legend!!!!!
This will be annoying, since it's all about questions. 1. My head is starting to spin; can someone please summarize the transfers who are commited to us? From what I can tell, they all have just one year of eligibility left? 2. Can Hansberry shoot? 3. From all I've been able to tell, Morez Johnson is a 6-10 athletic freak without a jump shot? Please tell me I'm wrong? 4. Not a question--I expect DGL to start at the point for us next season with Moretti also getting substantial minutes. From all I can tell, we're putting together a roster that will significantly upgrade our distance shooting. This post is a hodgepodge, and I apologize; but I'm just an old man trying to keep up. Peace. downey
I think intents may have been misread. I was surprised he was taken as a bench player.
If, as people intimate, TSJ and Coleman come back, and 2 more major transfers occur, that would seem to put him on the edge of, or outside the rotation this year, and questionable next year with the incoming recruits. There is a non-trivial chance he is going from 30m/game to almost none. Having some age on the roster next year as a stabilizing factor seems like a good idea. The number of technicals raised my eyebrows for this role. (Who knows, they could be RJ style technicals.)
Maybe there was enough NIL to make it worth his while. Even 10k/year for two years makes it a whole lot easier starting out life.
We added two mid-major transfers on April 10th that are both 1-year rentals. (Also added a preferred walk-on from a mid-major). As far as buzzwords like "signifiant upgrade", well... time will tell, hopefully so!
From what uve seen with my eyballs while having to here the Italian version of whatever rap has become.. he has a torch.
From what I’ve been reading, I wouldn’t count on DGL to start and I wouldn’t count on significant minutes for Moretti. And Morez still has one more year of high school.
If all 3 can combine avg 35% from 3p consistently that would be good.
Seems unlikely, but, yes please
