He was. Young man out of St. Louis. Chaminade. Jason Taytum and Brad Beal are alumni among others.Wasn't Kalkbrenner a recruiting target for us?
Looking at Omaha he seems like a young power forward. We'll have two next year.

Of course! Apologies to those two for the omission! They are both phenomenal as well. You all provide great info and it's appreciated by all!Best to throw @illini0440 & @DB11Headband in the mix here as well … And there are others who contribute great info as well …
As for transfers out … I know of one guy who I’d say as of today is likely gone … I expect Dravyn, Moretti, Amani and Buck to all return …
Unless Jakstys comes in and absolutely tears up this summer … Expect a redshirt for him …
As for transfers … We’re already active … We’ve got as much or more NIL than anyone in the Big Ten … Expect 4 transfers in minimum … Potentially 5 …
Someone also mentioned Robbie Avila (Indiana State kid) as a possible transfer … He will likely be following Schertz to his next HC spot … Hearing that could be DePaul …
But I’ll give you guys 3 names to keep an eye on as a transfer target … Ryan Kalkbrenner … Matthew Murrell … Omaha Biliew …
and very young. almost seems like you're asking for one to dash off in a year or two.Hansberry, Johnson and Bielew would be a very formidable forward corps. I have no idea what's going on with Bielew at ISU, but that kid oozes talent

yes, but experience will be short. If I was to bring in a PF, I think it would be short term guy. I'd love to see a scorer with at least two years, optimally three. I'd also love to see an experience point and move Ty to his natural spot.every gambit comes with risk. gotta assess the risk v reward. the reward in this case could be huge. there are tons of frontcourt minutes available next season, plenty for all 3 kids (yeah, I'm assuming Ty will be playing point again)
Is morez an anticipated day one starter?He’s alright I guess …
My guess with Ty is they'll slot him into whatever position is available outside of C and SG. If Brad can pull it off in the portal, bringing in an elite PG to play alongside Ty as a starter would probably be ideal. That way you have 2 guys on the court at all times you feel comfortable with the ball in their hands. That said, if we do go with Ty next year at PG, we'll definitely need to bring in a stud Wing. Definitely going to be one of those edge of your seat offseasons where if we hit on half of our targets we'll probably be in exceptional shape.every gambit comes with risk. gotta assess the risk v reward. the reward in this case could be huge. there are tons of frontcourt minutes available next season, plenty for all 3 kids (yeah, I'm assuming Ty will be playing point again)

No Luke? Figured he'd slide in as a starter.Morez

If that transfer ends up being Kalkbrenner...oh boy.....Yes … Plan is that Morez will start from day 1 …
Just like Ayo, Kofi, and Ace Wolf did …
Now whether he starts at the 4 or 5 is entirely up for debate and truly depends how the portal goes …
I've always really liked the idea of Luke as the 6th man that comes off the bench to hit a few dagger threesNo Luke? Figured he'd slide in as a starter.
I watched Nick Davidson from Nevada tonight. Sign him up!Best to throw @illini0440 & @DB11Headband in the mix here as well … And there are others who contribute great info as well …

. . . and that's what "Big Boy" programs do. Move on. The "you don't want to be here, then good luck to you--we'll be fine" type mentality.Adam Miller, Skky Clark, Jayden Epps, Andre Curbello ...at this point these former Illini are a combined 24 and 23. It appears the Illini are better off with their current bball players. Give Coach Underwood and his staff for forsight and building a strong team.
Not Chaminade, but Trinity.He was. Young man out of St. Louis. Chaminade. Jason Taytum and Brad Beal are alumni among others.
At his recruiting rank, yea.Is morez an anticipated day one starter?
He was really good defensively tonight.Luke has proved himself to be a three point specialist that can play decent defense against decent players. He's a liability if anyone that's athletic gets switched to him. He's a great piece to have and is a culture guy.

My b. Should know better.Not Chaminade, but Trinity.
Might be thinking of Reed who went to Chaminade then Link then to Michigan.
