Hearing Thomas will likely wind up with Golden …

Whether that be at Florida or wherever he ends up …

Catching only scored points in 1 of last 5 guys. Nice 15 points against Arizona.

I find this post somewhat disturbing while it also makes me hungry for burgers and fries.

225 attempts from 3? he'll fit right in.

Though he made 43% of them, so maybe not

Is it safe to say that, while not officially open, the portal is “open?”

Indy - in the past you’ve alluded to some medical concerns from him that scared high major programs away. Is this still an issue??

Think it could be for some programs ... Would just need to see what medical staff says ...

If he can make close to that percentage again then he can take all the 3s he wants.

Sorry I will take Ben over him any day

I didn't see a Ben Wright. Heard he used to be good.

I like Ben for next year. He started the year soft on defense, but by the end he had learned. He took on TKR and held his own for the most part. For all practical purposes he is a freshman in high major D1 basketball. With an offseason to digest the lessons learned, and given his knowledge of the system, I think he could be a serious contributor next year - basically what they were hoping for from him this year.

Weve finally found our Carey Booth replacement

I’ve heard he’ll be in the portal …

I wouldn’t take him … He’s not a winner … He’s lazy … He doesn’t show up to practice on time … He's a problem off the court … And he thinks he’s worth $1 million …

@Indy Illini Fan - Dante Maddox chose Xavier over us last offseason…but he hasn’t started 1 game and is only getting 19 mins per game vs 33 mins last year. I wonder if he regrets his decision. Have you heard anything?

He’d be playing even less here … And he got paid a good amount of money …

I take it that Amani and Sencire are on a wait and see on what will happen with Chester?

 

[NarrowJ]

Hard to imagine all these guys (Chester, Amani, Sencire) at IU next year sitting on opposite benches when we play them

But............................... can you imagine it though? lol

His brother's name is Always Right, which is even better.

[Illini 993]

Indy - I gotta ask, any interest in Reneau do you think?

 

[robow7]
