Maddox approves of the Boswell commitment
I don't know, friend. The optimists are still fighting the pessimists and Indy is defending himself, all since the commitment. But still love the memes!
0%. Neither Booth nor Maddox are transferring in to not start.
In addition, Dain left for a reason and that reason is his role was 100% not going to be extended, The staff has made it extremely clear they want a mobile 5 that can spread the floor.
Hope TSJ sticks around Ubben this spring and summer long enough for him to overlap with KB and introduce him to the beneficial effects of those 04:30 workouts.Boswell upside is that Daddy Brad can look at him and say..if you really are an EDG and you want to put in Ayo, TJ, Domask, CoHawk type work.....you're going to be a monster.
He absolutely has that Deron type upside. Now it's up to him to get there.
Side note since Kylan picked it for his announcement....but for the love of all that is good in this world....can we please bring the War Chant back, Josh??
Ain't nothing like hearing those drums.
If booth commits I’d expect him to be the starting 4. They’ll be getting a 5 down the road here soon.Booth is nowhere close to a starter. He was not good at all at Notre Dame and isn’t anything close to an inside player.
If you started Booth/White, the defense would be a disaster. No rim protection at all. Morez will for sure start over Booth
Man, that edit with the War Chant is a vibe. It just brings so many good memories for me. Easily a top 3 athletic event anthem. Please, bring that back to us.

There's not a player in the country, IMO, that was better than TJ last year. He was dominant on both ends and carried us in the BTT and NCAAT. That player won't be replicated.I'm curious..say we land Maddox, Booth and Storr and assume no Hawkins or Domask. Do you think that team is better than last year?
So glad we have been demasculinized by the sociology types. Really missed the chant, it pumps up the crowd.
They do not retire numbers.Wow, I wasn't aware that was the case! I just thought that once the number was hoisted, that was it.
So, we know what the parameters are to have the number retired. They're pretty intense and rightfully so. Are there parameters to getting the number in the rafters or is that more of an arbitrary call?
Relax and be patientInsiders please give us some hope besides a possible Boswell he is decent not great so far in his career.were going to need to fill alot of minutes and especially I'd were losing Amani.youll keep saying we're not going to take a step back but atm looks like we're taking a major step back not just in talent but depth.i so hope I'm wrong I understand were in on other talent but it seems like we're moving in the wrong way.with Maddox,stor, and losing Amani so far it seems hard to think we will have a top 8 program as been suggested.im truly not trying to be negative as I love our illini and always try to be positive but I feel like we need alot more then Boswell to make that happen.how do we stand with Amos if we possibly lose Amani?
White will be playing more of the 3. At 6’7 he’s not tall enough to play the 4 in Brads offense. Booth is 6’10. But it’s positionless basketball. Brad has the flexibility to move them around.Who’s the 5 they would be getting that is better than Morez?
Tre White will start. Most likely at the 4.
There’s no way Booth starts over Morez. Booth shot 30% from 3 last year. He’s not a floor spacer at the expense of a guy in the paint like Morez who can be expected to play D, rebound, and finish around the rim

I play this and get my 1 and 3 year old to do the overhand clap on the correct beats...I nearly tear up when they request to hear it.
Frankly, even if we'd won a natty this season someone would be complaining that it would have been a smoother, more elegant road to the NC hardware if we'd had a proper PG and diabolically crafty inbounding plays.I don't know, friend. The optimists are still fighting the pessimists and Indy is defending himself, all since the commitment. But still love the memes!
The point everyone is making is you had Goode starting. 0% chance that happens.Who’s the 5 they would be getting that is better than Morez?
Tre White will start. Most likely at the 4.

Nice job in capturing the players.The team of the following is an extremely good well balanced team that absolutely would expect to be top 25 and compete for a BT championship. Bottom of the BT is an absurd take.
Boswell
Maddox/DGL
Ty/Davis
White
Booth/Johnson
Plus the potential of adding/keeping:
Domask
Hawkins
Amani
Harris
Storr
We are in a great spot with an exciting team next year that is certainly good and potentially great.
I honestly have no fricken clue what makes Illinois more feminine not having the chant…what a f@&$ing joke…So glad we have been demasculinized by the sociology types. Really missed the chant, it pumps up the crowd.
Maddox has left Louisville's campus without a commitment and is en route to Champaign
He is not in Champaign yet.Insiders, is this a situation you guys feel we need to get a commitment from Maddox now? If he makes it to Xavier he is gone? I feel if he leaves Champaign without committing he is gone, but would love to be told otherwise.
