For those wondering, Sarr is basically the equivalent of landing the 10th-15ish ranked player in 2025
This is an absolute gem.Ben and Booth with their NIL haul next year:

Will need a ladder!Will Fletch check and see if his growth plates are still open. Would be amazing if they are still open.
Yes, he will depend on Riley. If Will leaves I think we have a legit shot at Costanza and in the 25 classIs Costanza dependent upon anyone leaving? Realize he’s’26, but just checking. Didn’t think so, but playing 3d chess doesn’t always depend on the obvious.
So that's Constanza, Sarr, and the plan B guy plus returners?Yes, he will depend on Riley. If Will leaves I think we have a legit shot at Costanza and in the 25 class
Costanza, Sarr, transfer pg, return 5-6 rotation guys, and rotation big would be the ideal offseasonSo that's Constanza, Sarr, and the plan B guy plus returners?

Can any of the new players shoot in this hypothetical? Illinois desperately needs shooters.Costanza, Sarr, transfer pg, return 5-6 rotation guys, and rotation big would be the ideal offseason
They are going to want to get a pg that can really shoot itCan any of the new players shoot in this hypothetical? Illinois desperately needs shooters.
Kylan wasn't bad the last 2 years at 37 n 39%...I dunno what's happening this year. I'd love around 40% from our guards.They are going to want to get a pg that can really shoot it
Luigi is 2 years from now.Lets get Luigi, another legitimate Big to complement Rez and Tomi, if they stick around. WOW! I would love to see those High -Low plays. Still works for B. Self, it can work for B.U.
Why are you so sure? Also, if that is the case, is that also true for UK and BYU? I mean why not come, draw NIL, at least practice, and see what happens?Luigi is 2 years from now.
Dame Sarr would be an incredible add for next year - keeping the talent pipeline going. For those that haven’t made the connection Sarr and Luigi played on the same U18 Italy FIBA team last summer - they played KJ and Lithuania- Luigi had 17 6 3 and 3 that game. Plus KJ obviously played with Sarr on the FC Barcelona U18 team last year when Sarr led them in scoring. Lots of familiarity there that hopefully goes in our favorView attachment 39585
KJ with the assist!
Derek Piper wrote that Luigi is looking at that time frame, and that the staff wants one more year of Tomi. Luigi would not be coming here to back up Tomi and Morez at the center.Why are you so sure? Also, if that is the case, is that also true for UK and BYU? I mean why not come, draw NIL, at least practice, and see what happens?
He’s going to prep school next yearWhy are you so sure? Also, if that is the case, is that also true for UK and BYU? I mean why not come, draw NIL, at least practice, and see what happens?
I just wish he made more of his layupsKylan wasn't bad the last 2 years at 37 n 39%...I dunno what's happening this year. I'd love around 40% from our guards.
Is there a PG like that who won't be Pro next year?They are going to want to get a pg that can really shoot it
What roles do you see the two incoming Freshmen playing? Reads like "none?" Rotational? Redshirt? Creaned?Costanza, Sarr, transfer pg, return 5-6 rotation guys, and rotation big would be the ideal offseason

I think you still have to qualify academically… that’s still a thing, right?Why are you so sure? Also, if that is the case, is that also true for UK and BYU? I mean why not come, draw NIL, at least practice, and see what happens?
Nothing significant. I really like both long term, think they could maybe get spot minutesWhat roles do you see the two incoming Freshmen playing? Reads like "none?" Rotational? Redshirt? Creaned?
