Bingo …

Brad asked for more money and said if he could get more then he was let’s say very confident we could get RayJ … Josh goes to boosters … Boosters say great !!! We’re all in !!! Here’s the amount needed …

Then they get told today … That money you gave for RayJ … Yeah he ain’t coming … And we want to re allocate that money to a guy who ain’t as good …

What would your reaction be ?
I mean, if I were a booster who had already invested in others on this team I might not be happy but I wouldn't just cut off the flow of cash. You've still got the chance to go out and get someone who will make a difference, so why tank it over this?

I might have some conversations about the decision to go all-in on senior transfers but that impacts how you spend next year, not this year.

We are likely to add him......
But that won't be our last guard addition. All I will say
So after RayJ we are pivoting to a guy who can't shoot at all, is coming off of a major injury that will likely cause him to miss all of summer plus the beginning of next season, and needs a waiver for immediate eligibility since he's already transferred twice.

Fantastic.

Difficult to figure margin of error. Did not figure Sky Clark would not peform to expections. Epps got massive playing time and still left.
With the NIL money much more difficult to bring in 3 or 4 strong players in the same year and expect them to be around 4 years - a lot of uncertainy it seems to me.
Yep, all fair points. I'll admit my outlook would look much different had one of Skyy or Epps stayed.

Illini Twitter is abuzz with Antonio Reeves talk.

Not sure how that really solves our still glaringly largest problem.
TSJ-Reeves-Rodgers-Guerrier-Coleman is a fun lineup without a PG, but could hope to scrape together enough ball-handling since all five of those guys can at least do it a little bit

Is Zyon Pullin an option? 6-4 guard that has shot 39% from the 3, twice. Solid assist and rebound numbers.

i dont think he's the point guard we're going after.
