The first picture looks so much like Terrence, wonder if he is built around 6-6
For next year, who would be happy with:
Kylan Boswell
DGL
Will Riley
Morez Johnson
Tomislav Ivisic
Dame Sarr
Transfer guard
Transfer/euro wing
Transfer 4 man
Jake Davis
Kylan Boswell
DGL
Will Riley
Morez Johnson
Tomislav Ivisic
Dame Sarr
Transfer guard
Transfer/euro wing
Transfer 4 man
Jake Davis
Smallish backcourt and both guards plus WR need to show growth with running the offense and consistency in 3 point shooting.
Maybe I’m unfairly seeing Kylan as having a limited ceiling. Love the guy but feels more like a Coleman love.
Seems like we will lose the rebounding edge as well with that backcourt.

Assume the first 5 are the "starters" how likely is it that all 5 of those young men are on the Illinois roster?
does that mean...
- no rodgers
- no Jackstys
- no White
We giving up on Jakstys, even though it is clear this year that we need a big man backup option on the bench??
I'll take that plus one bonafide superstar in the backcourt. While Kylan has been a monster on the defensive end - his offensive numbers are well pretty offensive, he's regressed every year in the league he's shooting under 40% from 2pt and under 30% from 3pt.
Yes please. Might need a backup big if Rez and Tomi play a lot of minutes.

I like, but my question is on Tre. Is he not happy? I understand Ty, Bhum, Booth and KJ.
I read it more as though we are giving up on Booth.
I think the best fit for Boswell is similar to his current role as a secondary lead guard. I'd hope the transfer guard is a better starting option at the 1, but that's just me

To keep Riley especially and those other players and get some additional shooting in the portal I'd be very happy. But, is Riley not going pro?
As he should. He needs to go down a level and get some playing time because he's not gonna get it here and it doesn't appear that anything Fletch is doing with him is taking. Still can't believe he actually started games for Notre Dame.
I've seen him falling to late 1st/early 2nd round in some mocks, so based on the fact that he's already re-classed and early to college ball, I could see him thinking it makes sense to stay an additional year to try and work his way up to the lottery. Especially if the NIL is good.
I'm a little nervous right now about Kylan being the primary ball handler....hope he can improve between now and then. The rest sounds great...especially Rez and Tomi playing together.
Is a Costanza reclass to 25 still on the table? Where do we stand with him generally speaking?
Any idea how Barcelona feels about us recruiting KJ/Sarr? Is there any sort of relationship there?
Earlier in the season one or more of our insiders said Will's Mom wanted him to stay for a second year with the goal of Fletching up and becoming a lottery pick rather than a late first or early second round pick. Then again, if he averages 16+ppg for the rest of the season, he might well wind up close to lottery range this year.
