Not sure where you got that
it definitely wasn’t from me. My comment was about Mayer being a big fish that wasn’t worth the hype. People think that, in hindsight, TJ was rated as so much more valuable than our other transfers. That wasn’t true. One high ranking hit (TJ), the other didn’t (MM). In the latter’s case, development from within (Coleman) proved more valuable than our highest rated transfer.im sure booth and coleman could coexist similar to GQ and coleman. problem is neither of them want to play the 5, so youre right.
That's awesome except college basketball teams don't win with a how many top freshman you have.
The players that will be on the team next season.
ESPN has Pringle at 6'10" 230. He ain't undersized, that's a big dude with a big dude's game.
Mayer was really good, we would have been horrendous without him last year.

Yeah that’s accurate. I mean, he only shoots around the rim and only played 8 mins a game that year. But still impressive!
Agree on both counts. Pringle certainly doesn’t look undersized on tape…
He didn't shoot 84.7% when they played UConn. . . and didn't get a single rebound either.
I’d guess Pringle is not the primary target, but I doubt he is looking to leave a final four squad to ride the pine.Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
nope as in no or that it's too much to ask for?? I woke up this morning thinking it was Friday, I need a(nother) win...
Based on this post by @LvilleILL yesterday, my assumption would be that Nick Pringle is not the big name big he referred to. (Sorry if I'm wrong and he is). But I'm sure Brad has contingencies upon contingencies, and I wonder if Pringle would be a big that has a more modest price tag that we could bring in if we end up spending big on a wing and a combo guard instead. Seems like we have the money to spend big on 2 guys, and while maybe plan A is this big and wing @LvilleILL referred to, it makes sense that we'd be looking at other options as well - and maybe one of those options is 2 big time wings/guards and then a role player big.
Because 1. you need more than five players (your starters) 2. Coleman coming back is far from a given. 3. They could both be on their court together. Most teams these days don't play class Centers at the 5. They play forwards that can pop out and shoot. (Edey and Clingan are the exception, not the norm).
Yeah I assume he would start. I meant role player in the same vein that Ty was last year, or Quincy. He'd be a 1 year rental to get Morez some experience off the bench before handing him the keys.
Are we really? Kind of a head scratcher if you ask me, based on his production and who we already have.We’re heavily involved …

That’s kind of the way I’d view him. Someone to push Rez, but not necessarily be blocking his way.
Interesting it came from Chester. I'm assuming that was a jab. If he's implying that Brad whats the big names this makes more bullish about the direction of the program.
Anytime I watch Dan Hurley, I get it, but I also want to punch him.
I wouldn't really read all that much into it, and Chester brought in some really good players while winning a Big Ten regular season and tournament title here.
