We probably weren't a tournament team without Mayer last year...feel like he was a medium sized part of some extra large problemsWhen I ran the preseason numbers and comparables, Domask showed likelihood of a very solid contributor and a major conference starter. It's pretty shocking him being rated as low as he was and overlooked by so many, as his metrics were really really good and players with his size, age, and metrics have had a high likelihood of success when transferring up. To Marcus' credit though, he deconstructed and reconstructed his game to one that obliterated even the loftiest of projected ceilings for him.
As for Quincy, metrics suggested Guerrier at the time was a gamble but a low downside one, meaning if you don't get much out of him he can still contribute as a backup but that he also didn't really project as anything more than a decent starter unless he reverted back to early college form which is not something you can bank on as more often than not it doesn't work. It's safe to say he has outperformed expectations.
Justin was the player that metrics really didn't like and projected him as a deep bench player. Even with the slump that has gone on for almost 2 months now, he's still outperformed that.
So, I think a lot of credit needs to go to Underwood here in talent evaluation of transfers. Since the transfer portal era, he's really only had 1 transfer play worse than expected/projected and that was Mayer. That's pretty remarkable. It's safe to say Brad is one of the best evaluators of talent out there. Impressive stuff.

Brandon Garrison and Small?Think there's a chance we get Small even without Mike being here ...
The risky aspect of the portal … no guarantee you’ll have a seat anywhere.I think it's hilarious that he said he is open to coming back to Louisville ... There is a very likely chance the new coach ain't gonna want you kid ...
Yeah, almost no chance he transfers to Wichita State.
Not a shocker here

We already have three open spots for next year and will have one to two transfers. Most of the guys will be back next year but there will be one or two to leave
I was thinking/hoping more like 2-3. Hmmm.
After you win a title you lose a lot of guys to the nba. Everyone knows that.We already have three open spots for next year and will have one to two transfers. Most of the guys will be back next year but there will be one or two to leave
Gotcha, thanks. I was thinking we only had two spots open. And to keep the guys leaving to one max.We already have three open spots for next year and will have one to two transfers. Most of the guys will be back next year but there will be one or two to leave
As long as Ty, Luke, Dain, Dra, Amani and Sencire are not among the 1 or 2 transfers from our current roster that are leaving, I'm ok with it. Really want to keep this young group of players that has bought into the ILLINI chemistry and culture together as the foundation for the portal transfers to join and blend with. Every Day Guys for me, even if it means one or two less potentially more talented transfers.We already have three open spots for next year and will have one to two transfers.
