Well is he any good? Can he shoot? Lol..what conference is he from? Lol

 

[Joel Goodson]

bring on the Kool-Aid

 

[illiniguy24]

Just seems highly unlikely Mulcahy ends up joining a conference foe imo

Seems exactly like something he’d do.

 

[NarrowJ]

Oh this would be interesting indeed...

 

[FinallyMadeAnAccount]

As much as I'd love to have him, I doubt he'll even enter the portal given his seeming loyalty to Rutgers, and if he does opt for the portal I highly doubt he'd transfer to a school in the same conference.

 

[pruman91]

OOOOHHHHHH NO , here comes DMFW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HailtotheChief]

I could guess.. Sources? He is ok i guess. Hard for me to get excited about someone I always found annoying.

I feel like he's the type of annoying that you'd love to have if he's on your team and absolutely hate when you're against him

Are you asking me for my sources? Lol. I’ve known he might enter for like 5 days now. Now that it’s going around on Twitter I don’t feel bad for sharing it here

Let's say we get him. This could mean we could have a starting lineup of these heights:

PG: 6'7"
SG: 6'6"
SF: 6'6"
PF: 6'8"
C: 6'10"

That's one long team, containing some really top tier defensive guys (Hawkins, Shannon, Mulcahy). We could easily be a top 15 defensive team in the country with this.

I would be okay with a point guard rotation of Mulcahy and Williams with DGL/Harris/Rodgers filling in anything further.

So we are involved and you and Ville are talking about the same player? That is what I meant.

Lville liked his post about Rutgers, so probably

Ohhhh gotcha. We will be IF he enters the portal . But yes I’d assume we’re talking about the same player

 

[Battle89]

I was at that game. 6th row from the floor along the baseline. If Augie or Roger so much as shed a drop of sweat on Sean May, they were called for a foul. Meanwhile, Powell got practically assaulted when he got the ball in the paint and it was never called. The NCAA and the Refs were on the Roy Williams deserves to win an NCAA title bandwagon and it showed. Plus I assume our guys at least went to class sometimes unlike the NC players. A travesty!

I was there too though much higher up. 100% agree. On this topic I will never get to stage 5. Not sure I'm past 2.

 

[Mojoman]

Would love Mulcahy. Kid is a freaking baller.

 

[Illini 993]

he must be good:

Ann Arbor native.

His dad is also the Strength and Conditioning Coach for Michigan hoops, so ... Also, Mulcahy has been at Rutgers for 4 years. Has he graduated?

 

[I lost Kofi's blue binder]

Mulcahy is an excellent defender, a good decision-maker in the high pick and roll, and a capable (but not great) shooter… sign me up.

I do wonder (1) how interested he’d really be in Illinois or any B1G team for that matter, and (2) what kind of NIL Illinois could bring to the table given what I’m assuming are some upset boosters after the RayJ miss. Would they pony up for Mulcahy?

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

So, insiders who can’t say anything… if someone is coming:
Blink once if the staff is helping someone understand how extremely limited their minutes are projecting.
Blink twice if an incoming transfer is likely to look elsewhere based on the draft-withdrawal of Hawkins (or Shannon) dramatically changing their opportunity here.

Thanks

They better since Mulcahy is the better fit of the two. The Final Four talks aren’t going to seem outlandish if we land him.

 

[I-L-L 1318]

Completely unrelated to the recent rumor, but I am thinking Dain will have a monster year. Hopefully his defense/conditioning can improve enough to keep him on the floor for longer stints.

 

[727ill]

Mulcahy has been very active in NIL in terms of using the money for good causes. I could see him simply going to the highest bidder so he can continue that.

He's also probably got a decent pro outlook overseas so somewhere that can showcase his skillset to the fullest.

 

[Illini90]

Who knows how it’ll play out but Illinois has something to offer most don’t right now. unlimited minutes at the 1 surrounded by a couple potential NBA players. And great NIL.

 

[phats22]

If he comes, they should have a closed door meeting b/n he and the orange crush to hug it out

Seriously though, our defense would be stifling with him at point

 

[Whitmans Sampler]

I’ll be amped if we land Mulcahy. Yes he acts like a crybaby sometimes. So what, so does CoHawk. Dude is all about winning.
