Doesn’t he have a “no contact” tag in the portal? Seems like he’d follow the coach to SLURobbie Avila, Indiana State Sycamores, Center
Robbie Avila is a 6-8, 210-pound Center from Oak Forest, IL.247sports.com
Kinda need a "Where are they now?" on these two people in the meme.
Especially when it fits their narative at the time.He sometimes takes part in what every college kid takes part in ... And some people think that's a bad thing ...
Weird argument but the 2023 team was just way more talented. Also, I love Giorgi but that 2019 had no size. Dain would have cooked them.Let's say February, fair enough.
From Feb 1 onward:
2019: 6-6
2023: 4-7
We were not a good basketball team at any point in 2019, but you could see we had some pieces developing. 2023 was such a mess.
(I don't even know why we're having this argument tbh)
I have said all along ... Over signing by 1 is on the table ...
Ty stays ... We oversign by 1 ...
PG - Boswell/Harris
SG - Maddox/DGL
SF - Storr/Hill/Davis
PF - Amos/Rodgers/Goode
C - Morez/Amani/Booth/Jakstys as a redshirt

He was a starter, but had a diminished role as the season went on because his presence on the court prevented a lot of the offensive effectiveness gained from being able to stretch out defenses (similar to Dain, but Ty wasn't finishing at the rim as effectively as Dain).Lol. You're asking what role he can have and then saying he literally does everything else well except shoot.
Draymond Green was a key piece that won 4 NBA championships and he wasn't a shooter. Shooting is great but it's college basketball. You don't need every player to be a shooter at all times.
He just played a major role on the 2nd best offense in the country. Yeah he didn't shoot and he needs to improve on finishing at the rim but Illinois had a bunch of other guys to take shots.
Green developed a jump shot out of nowhere between his sophomore and junior seasons. He shot 36% junior year and 38% senior year from 3 after attempting 3 total 3 point shots his first two seasons. If Ty is on this arc, we are gonna be cooking with gas.Lol. You're asking what role he can have and then saying he literally does everything else well except shoot.

Cottage cheese talk.
This is the new CBB and it is perfect for us. We weren't winning the 4 year game so the portal and quick fixes are perfect. This isn't to say it is the only way, but it does well holding us over until we find those guys.Which is why Butler reopened his recruitment. Until Illinois starts regularly bringing in top 30 kids (Morez & Fears) freshman playing time will be limited (Hansberry & DGL). Not sure it is my preferred method of building a program, but can't complain about the 23-24 results.
Does 24-25 look like 23-24? or 22-23? Obviously too early to answer that but will be interesting to watch this playout.
Besides Hawkins, Frazier, DaWilliams has Coach underwood had any other guys start and finish at Illinois?
2023 was a lot better than many Illini years. I'm not sure what your point is.Sure. But the 2023 Illini >>>>> 2019 Illini.
Then you would be an EODG. I personally would still be impressed.
I thought we weren't interested? I keep mentioning him and keep getting shut down.
Apparently, he can be difficult to deal with.Haven’t read all the comments. Saw a list of transfer rankings. Size and 3pt% caught my eye. I think he could be a good addition at the 4. Colemanesque on offense. I know less than nothing fwiw.

This needs to have Joe Tipton's face on it, not the Block I.
For those who followed Indiana State this year, what is your take on Jayson Kent? Can he play defense, good teammate, etc? After Indy posted his profile, I became intrigued with his stats - 74.5% on 2s, .366 on 3s, .837 FTs. He led the nation in 2 point % as a 6'7" guard, the next guard on the list was at #19. That sure looks like a shooters profile to me.
