Is he entering the portal? Reminds me a little of Marcus, but more athletic and a better shooter. But, like you said; Glenbard West...
Not sure. His older brother was a graduate transfer from William & Mary up to North Carolina so I have always thought it could be an option for Caden but without anything other than my speculation.

still pissed at Lovie for taking Carlos Sandy over Alec Pierce. needless to say, a very athletically gifted brood

Lol we gotta stop calling every 6'6 white kid Marcus Domask. Domask played with the ball in his hands on the perimeter at SIU while having the ability to post up and score inside. Pierce plays as an undersized stretch big. Think a less muscular and not as good Trey Townsend from Oakland(been kind of disappointing at Zona).

Also, I disagree on the shooter part. People see the 30% 3pt shooting at Illinois and think Domask couldn't shoot but he was a 35% shooter his final two years at SIU on good volume and was good at Illinois once conference play started. He just had an awful cold stretch at the beginning of the season before the offense came together. Domask was also an elite Free throw shooter(Pierce is shooting 65% from the line).

This and the concept of “booty ball”. Marcus was especially adept at it and it’s been an Illini buzzword ever since

If you managed to grab those guys he is because they are all better.
Yes if this season has taught us anything it’s always try to piss off your returning starters. Leading them to redshirt hours before the season begins.

What about Jake D? I like a lot of things he does for us. We have room for him to stick around, or is he wanting a bigger role than we can offer?

Time for this Bass to swim with a new school.

Seems like a simple guy. Fly rod and a creek, or a fishing boat hooked up at 5:30 AM and enjoying the quiet life. He's 62, and I'm sure this new style of basketball isn't much fun for him with the money, handlers, agents, and bags.

Perhaps he's just gonna enjoy life, nothing wrong with that!
And a lot of beers

Boswell is gone if there is any hint of him hitting the bench. I think Boswell will continues to to improve, he’s finally adjusted to the transfer and the Big Ten and is settling in. Not to mention the coaches have also “learned him”. He is a steadying force who makes free throws, Also, remember, he doesn’t turn 20 for another month.
