It's frustrating that we had a lineup of Tomi and Morez and again the team reverted back to chucking 3s as the gameplan rather than attacking the paint more. Also, really suck that KJ is hitting the freshman wall during this awful stretch. KJ needs to get out of his funk. Hoping Tomi's ankle ain't serious.

I agree. And when the team starts looking good, I will praise the staff whole-heartedly.
Not saying we should have regrets but I cant help but wonder what type of offensive cadence could be achieved if we had Jeremiah fears instead of Boswell or KJ.

Yeah, I’m not sure what all happened with him committing then us not announcing it. But I’m glad that dude doesn’t play for Illinois. He’s a
. Flops and cheap plays all game and grinning about it the whole time. Running around in circles in the final few seconds like he won the damn lottery….
I don’t know what happened that lead to Chester Frazier’s departure (feel free to DM me),
But seems like having him and his recruits would be welcomed. Maybe I’m way out of the loop on this one.
The Illini reached Elite status, and what is happening right now is not acceptable whatsoever. You are so correct.
Don’t worry. Brad has a nephew that is the equipment manager at Stephen F Austin.
Dainja 21 points tonight on 10-14 from the field.
More than a couple... several all. It's clear there is no emphasis on recruiting/coaching defense
Brad is a culture guy. He's not an x's and o's guy. It's no coincidence that since the NIL era, the one successful team he's had was a team with 50% carry over from the year before. You can't instill a culture in one year. I really really really hope he prioritizes continuity over "talent" a little more. One of my few complaints with him.
Give me Javon Small, Jonathan Powell, and Hansberry any day of the week ... Heck I will even take Buck back ... At least he has the freaking fire in his belly !!!!
You didn't read the memo. Fears isn't ready.
Brad recruited over Chester's guys. So Chester left.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Am I the only one that is tired of all the streetfighting comments coach throws out?
I didn't see any Illini not playing hard tonight.
With all the talent on this team.... the problem is the coaching.
I echo the comments of many here.

He also gave Hamer defensive coordinator responsibilities over Chester ... That did not sit well ...
Javon, Powell, Hansberry > Ben, Booth, Jake Davis.
all a power struggle. Tyler, chester, tim all wanted guys. they went to get booth and humrichous. who tyler wanted. so they left. period
Bull's eye.
And there it is. Frustrating.
Again, pitchers and catchers about to report
I’m looking forward to baseball and, hell … I’m a White Sox fan!

Are we in the dance if we win 2 more the rest of way? Cuz that's the most likely scenario at this point, let's be honest.
Coaching/managing malpractice. Mind-bogglingly stupid move. Hard to believe JW was OK with that.
Oh yeah how could I forget. I remember that was brewing and was baffled by it. Ugh.
