I think it is legitimate as well because the targets are not even in the portal yet. That may be fine but there is an awful lot of confidence for no official targets. Guess it is just the lack of a discernable back up plan. If plan A works no one cares. The Groce years of putting all eggs in the plan A bucket only to have the bottom fall out makes everyone a little antsy

appreciate your info. I am impressed with your connections and information.

For those going through the NBA draft process - do they need to be in portal by 5/10 (I think that is the cutoff date)?

I am sure the staff has plans if either of our guys in the draft doesn't come back to school. Delicate balance to wait, wait, wait and when to pursue other options.

Dear Indy ,

A bunch of my friends at a certain Illini sports board are wondering if we will get a veteran PG for the upcoming year.....It is causing much remorse in our family and who better to help with said remorse than you.....Waiting with bated breath for your reply ........thanks in advance.......

Sincerely,

Anxious pru

Do you really think Brad would trot Khalid Lewis out there ?

Look back at Brad’s guard play since he’s been here … While they haven’t 100% always planned out (Mark Smith, Skyy, etc.) … He’s ALWAYS had elite guards …

Relax guys … We ain’t going into the season with out one … 😂

Although … I may tell Brad tonight to hold off as long as possible just to see how crazy y’all get …😂

Just because someone’s in the portal doesn’t mean teams aren’t reaching out … (NEVER us … We are always compliant …)

There’s at least 5 kids not in the portal right now … Going through draft process … That I can say with 100% confidence will be transferring and I know where they are going already …

It’s how the game is played …

No, because he’d lose Coleman and TSJ and we’d likely have our worst season since 2019.

We are a scared scarred bunch, you know this.

Question indy. How much does Brad take into consideration his desire to yell at a player? Like he must really really want to yell at QG.

I know you're joking here, but how is the sausage made? Is the announcement time up to the coach often or are they usually waiting for the recruit the go and say it?
