haven't seen Morez take a shot over 5 feet (except free throws and he needs to quiet his motion on that.)

Will need to develop as a shooter to help this team when Tomi is on the bench.

He's only 18 but what a horse! The basket shakes when he dunks...

I'd like to see Morez with another 2" on his vertical. His dunks often seem to barely clear the rim. I'm worried they will fall short with any sort of resistance. With another few inches to work with, he may be able to power through.

I was finally able to do it, however, I swear that the tab to do so was not there the first few times that I tried. There needs to be a CLEAR subscription tab on the Home page.

Tip for next year, if you purchase BTN+ through a device (either iPhone, Roku, I don’t know but I would assume smart TV etc), then you can just manage your subscriptions and cancel through your device.

I used to purchase directly from BTN+ and it is a nightmare to cancel through them. I usually had to call and sit through a lengthy hold. But cancelling through your device is a breeze.

Not sure if this is the best place for this, but Sam Vecenie of The Athletic released the latest iteration of his 2025 NBA Draft Big Board ($$), where he ranks the top 100 draft prospects.

Illini:
5. Kasparas Jakucionis (!)
31. Will Riley
50. Tomislav Ivisic
94. Ben Humrichous

Other notables (mostly B1G opponents):
1. Cooper Flagg, Duke
2. Egor Demin, BYU
3. Dylan Harper, Rutgers
4. Ace Bailey, Rutgers
15. Jase Richardson, Michigan St.
36. Derik Queen, Maryland
39. Mackenzie Mgbako, Indiana
46. Juni Mobley, Ohio St.
54. Kwame Evans Jr., Oregon
58. Braden Smith, Purdue
59. Payton Sandfort, Iowa
72. Owen Freeman, Iowa
87. Saint Thomas, USC
90. Bruce Thornton, Ohio St.
95. Kobe Johnson, UCLA

We have 4 players on his board, no other B1G school has more than 2 (Rutgers, Ohio St. Iowa)

I'm surprised Will is as low as he is. Just by eye test, he looks surefire pro starter to me, even over Kaspar. But hey, they want to drop him to 2nd Round so he comes back for Season 2 so he can be a lottery pick, I ain't going to complain at all.

Have feeling Will will come on like gangbusters by end of season and be drafted. Ivisic is the one that looks rated way too low for what he's shown.
