Guess I picked the wrong week to stop [insert self-destructive vice of choice here].

Not directed specifically at you, but I wonder how much the College Basketball Crown Tournament is delaying portal-related activities from teams. 16 fairly mediocre teams still playing in an individual tourney, where otherwise, in traditional years there are only about 6-10 teams still playing total.
I’m sure some guys are holding on, but plenty of the better players are in portal already. DePaul’s top 3 players are in portal already, though none would be on Illini’s radar I don’t think. Oregon St has lost 3 of top 4 players to portal already and top player reportedly just committed to Baylor. They play in Crown tomorrow.

I think the people I talk to who think Brad may be a little “checked out” are still accurate in a way …

Big Z has been a target for months now … That’s old news …

Let’s get aggressive on some of these new targets … Get Hamer off the dang staff … Demote Kwa … Hire 2 new coaches and get cooking in the portal …

They just wanna see Brad turn up the heat and cook … They wanna see that fire he had in the NCAAT games carry over into the off season …

I don’t post much but as a constant lurker wanted you to know I appreciate what you post. I believe you post accurate and truthful information based on what you know/hear in the moment. Things change though and some people can’t handle that so they prefer to tear you down as a result. F them, keep posting my man!

Big Z, Tomi, Boswell, and off the top rope Will Riley stays and we are back to the final four dreams
Don't forget Ty. It would be great to have him guard the other team's top offensive player.

I know this is a moot point, but I wonder if DGL decided to stay, would the staff want him back? Or are they wanting to move on as well?

Big Z would be backing up Tomi... I don't think he's a starter on a Final Four caliber team.

And I refuse to believe there's any chance that Will is coming back. Surely he's going to declare for the draft, and if I'm his agent, I'm telling him to enter the portal as well to have financial leverage in the event he unexpectedly returns to college. Can't wait to see the overreactions if/when that happens...

Unfortunately, we are at our ceiling with Brad. This is what we are, a team that averages around the round of 64 our 32 and maybe once in a blue moon makes it higher.
