Kriisa and Miller had a chance to reunite in March/April but didn't. Xavier landed a good PG transfer in Davion McKnight. They also have a good SG.
So neither McKnight or Kriisa would like to come off the bench or play a 3rd option guard. So once again, how hard does Illinois kick the tires, do they overpay with an NIL. Remember this is a 9.5 PPG player who will be asked to get the ball to 3-4 other players.

Does BU think that Sincere and Ty defense and rebounding will be better than Kriisa? Does getting Kriisa lead to disharmony? Stuff we don't know and still think he needs to put Ty and Sincere to have an much improved year. They would be hot commodities in a transfer market.

I personally prefer Mulcahey but it doesn't sound like it will happen. But do think we need another proven PG.

. . . . the one thing everyone has in common. Everyone, even the most successful people in the world have failed at one thing or another. Every Single One.

According to Christian lore, the last perfect person was hung on a cross. Which is pretty much what many are trying to do to Underwood here on Loyalty. You sir, are deserving of my highest compliment.

Would raging against gamblers exclude said person/being from being perfect?

my thoughts are this is why you balance your classes.

This is the last go for Shannon and Hawkins. This is the last go for Domask and Guerrier as well, same for Harmon if he makes it. So given your best players are in their final year, you want a good cast around them, and you sure as hell want a PG.

So now we're looking at a guy who could potentially be a team cancer, but is highly talented in Kriisa. Toussaint is a mediocre player at best. So do you bring in an experienced guy with limited ability, or do you say, we're better off as a program down the road developing a younger player, but with so many final year players, there's no time to develop anyone, you need to win now.

So you're kinda screwed either way. We break someone in and develop them and live with the mistakes, or bring in a mediocre final year guy, and lose that development. What is the lesser of two evils?
There is no evidence whatsoever that Kerr would be a "Team cancer.

Ty Rodgers will never be a point guard in college nor the NBA. He is Bryce sensenbaugh from Ohio st who went late in 1st round last night. If and a big if! Shoot jumpers and make free throws not 50%.. Ty hit his comfort zone late last year grabbing missed free throws and body backing folks down low and out working them. He needs to be our power forward or pt. Forward, make up a name. He's gonna be phenomenal. He is not our pt. Guard and if he is, we're in big trouble. Sencire is still miles away, but can get there. Defense is a 10 out of 10 keep pushing Sincere. We love you.
We still have bullets left, the kid from Kansas, Krista Kerr, guard from Memphis, and I would absolutely take former Iowa guard Tousannt. Please find a offense runner, ball distributor- somewhere please. This completely wrecked this past season. We have to much talent to not be running a efficient high octane offense.
