Is this the most "pale" lineup of any team not in the Atlantic Sun Conference?
I was at the tournament in Milwaukee and the breakdown is very similar to Lipscomb.

I was at the tournament in Milwaukee and the breakdown is very similar to Lipscomb. If the roster stays as it is right now, I think we're fine with Boswell and Petrovic filling 99% of the PG role between them. Rodgers and Stojakovic (oh and maybe Lee too) could probably cover that last 1% in a pinch.
(edit: apparently Stojakovic wants to handle the ball more himself as well)

Quite a track record indeed…
Ross ended up with Rachel in the end! Friends predicts the Andrej recruitment perfectly.
If we add another I hope it is a plus 3pt shooter, a 40% type guy. They are hard to get nut about the only thing we currently lack although Big Z was close.
They’ve got a plan … They’re still very active …
Brad’s not quite done cooking yet …

I doubt it will ever get to this with Tomi, but if he were to play three seasons here, I could easily see him challenging for his first year back and winning. I suspect he’ll be in the League soon, though.
Chief Illiniwek is very happy
Welcome a Andre to the Illini Nation and good to have back Ben H

Headband Hummer is going to be a problem next season

6'6" 13.1 Pts 9.0 Reb 4.1 Ast 1.3 Blk 1.8 Stl, he graduated from high school in 2020 and he probably still has two years left to play. That's a nice asset.

Just popped in during my lunch break. Did I miss anything?
That’s the best response of all. I will always support and appreciate the info.
I just hope Brad plays more than 7 or 8 people in a game even if some only get 5 to 7 minutes. It appears we will have more talent than last year.
No, he's got a huge upside as a player, but there's absolutely no fit there.
What I'd like to see, in a perfect world", is a bouncy, athletic 6'10" at the 4.....even if just to play 13-15 minutes to swat shots and grab boards. Some of those SEC teams have shot erases like that, but they aren't necessarily gifted offensively, which is fine. I'm interested to see how we're going to hold down the paint against a team with a bulky interior or a team with two rangy, athletic post presences. That's a ton of pressure to put on Z and Tomi, who could never be confused with being physical forces.
Really looking forward to see how it all comes together.

Agree ball handling and fewer turnovers will be massively better. IMO better ball handling will lead to better offensive execution. Like this version of Illinois MBB
Never was in doubt.
Unapologetically himself. Coleman Hawkins the same
I think you might have forgotten about Petrovic. There have been so many adds, easy to do. He'll play an huge role this year. He'll definitely be needed.
