Trent letting it slip in an interview that DMFW was coming back for a 5th year, and then trying to play it off was pretty darn funny

Don't know a thing about this dude, but his moustache is on point(forward) for a CoHawk replacement
Lengthy list but Illini not on it.

Perhaps because staff still plan to pencil CoHawk in next season?

If loving...fresh (key).....McDonalds fries is wrong.....I don't wanna be right.
pommes frites?And they immediately "surrendered" the name of their invention.
This is obvious to anyone with a modicum of basketball knowledge. They you have those who fantasize about the biggest lineup possible, skills be damned.
Not saying his perimeter skills can't gradually improve over the next few years. But penciling him in as anything above the 3rd or 4th option at PG is absurd.
Looks like the coaching Star on the fastest rise is Shauna Green. Landing a stud AC, key transfers, and now a solid instate All-State high school commit.
Hayven Smith, a 6-foot-5 athletic post from Lincoln-Way East
- Smith chose Illinois over offers from Purdue, Harvard, North Dakota, Cleveland State, Butler and Rice, among others.
- Smith averaged 14 points, 10 rebounds and two blocks for Lincoln Way-East this season and was an all-state selection last season. She will plays for Midwest Elite on the AAU circuit.

In n Out fries suck. The Skyy Clark of fries. You want them to be good so bad, but just aren't and eventually you just stop ordering them.
Raising Canes fries are mid. They are always soggy if you order in the drive through. The RJ of fries. Can be good on occasion but are seemingly constantly in a rut.
Shake shack fries are probably the best out there, especially with the cheese sauce. The Terrance Shannon of fries. Better than advertised.
STL people should back me up on this one but Lion's choice fries are ELITE. They're like McDonald's fries, if McDonalds fries were always fresh. Model of consistency like Kofi.
Wendy's has very underrated fries. Very well salted. The Ty Rodgers of fries. Consistent and unexpected for those not in his bubble.

Right on with Lion's Choice. Penn Station is pretty good too
Agreed…and if this hoops thing doesn’t pan out for him. He’s got the right look for old- timey jazz guitar.

Ok, this might be kind of long, or…. It might not be. Here we go.
As I watch this Ty discussion I am struck by a couple of things. One, I think MOST people see Ty’s value and also recognize that some things could be better, mainly shooting. Two, some people must just be anti Ty…….in order to be so dismissive of his offensive game.
I have coached and won ALOT of basketball games over the last 27 years. Both genders, from JH to College. I was always a “feel” coach or a by the gut kind of philosophy. As I watch Ty, within the construct of our team, I often thought, “Just put Ty in the game.” But, like a lot of people I would be concerned about the “lack of offense”, but, my gut told me that we just played better when he was in. Especially towards the end of the year.
I am also a stat geek and these new analytics, while not a hallmark of my coaching career, are really interesting and they validate my gut. We were better when Ty was on the floor.
So I used conference games, because by that point Ty was getting his feet wet and becoming more of a fixture. So here is the “facts”.
— Ty was our 2nd best shooter by %. Dain at 59 and Ty at 56.
Problems with this? Not much. It is a smaller sample size, and he was not lighting it up with jumpers, but he made 56% of the shots he took. Instead of complaining about his shooting percentage, praise him for shooting shots he could make.
— Per 40 minutes stat: Ty averaged 9 pts, 10.4 rebs, 2 assists, 1.4 Stls and 1.5 TOS.
The 10.4 rebs led the team.
— The per 100 possessions stat is one that I find way more interesting. As a coach, if I see that a guy gets “x amount” per every 100 possessions, i may want to try and give him as many possessions as possible. In essence, who is doing the most with the time they are given. What does Ty do for every 100 possessions he is on the floor? 13.4 points and 15.4 rebounds. Once again the rebounds leads the team. He is also 5th in assts, and 3rd in steals.
— But here is the kicker especially for the “his offense sucks“ crowd……. He has the second best Off Rtg on the team behind…. Luke Goode. Which that is a whole other deep dive that shows just how good Goode was when he came back. WE MISSED HIM. That ORtg means that the team was more efficient when he was on the floor. Then here is the kicker, Ty’s usage was 12.6%. 10th on the team, yet his production as it relates to the team was 1st. For perspective, Terrence usage was 27.2 and Mayer was 25.7.
So I think the stats say that the “If he develops a jump shot…. He gone” crowd is way more accurate then the “he will get buried on the depth chart“ people. Also, this crazy notion that he is 19 and now cannot learn to shoot is asinine. Shooting is muscle memory and confidence. If you see enough of them go in while shooting the right way, you will improve.
I am glad we are not playing against Ty.

Tell them that you want your fries "Extra Well" when ordering them at In-n-Out. Just like you want your Double Double Animal Style with Chilies, cause secret menu and such...
