Id be curious what his half cryptic complaint was
Another team moving on after overplaying his hand???

Nothing against the dude but he's been a replacement level college player or worse for 4 college seasons. He's not worth the trouble getting a "bidding war" for.

He was the 5th best player last year on a terrible Sun Devil team.

LOL. After playing on a team ranked from 10-20 in Illinois with 3 future Div.1 players as a soph, by my senior year, at 6'2", I was the only player in the rotation over 6' tall. None of us would ever be described as fast, quick, or athletic....but we were all good students who had played together since 5th grade. My go to description of that team was that we could not beat anyone with our athleticism, but fooled them all because we were deceptively slow. Finished the season at 21-5 while going 3-0 against the two teams who played in the sectional final.
If we are all going to share our greatest basketball accomplishment.…. I was the schools free throw champion in 8th grade. Feels good to let everyone know about it.

Here's hoping that Andre's parents, Peja and Aleka, make themselves as at home at State Farm Center as did the Domask Family. Besides having an NBA superstar as his father, Andre's mother was a Greek Supermodel. Pru, you might want to do some internet research on her earlier in her modeling career, but I'll stick with the PG photo from his parents wedding so that everyone can recognize them at home games and welcome them to the ILLINI family!

P.S. By the way, who would have thought that the south farms would actually have been a recruiting advantage over the Bay Area?
A quote from Peja, who once revealed that he spends his free time on a farm, as a farmer, where he drives a tractor and looks after sheep.
"City people wouldn't understand it, but this is my way of life," he once said.

When FOX/Peacock/BTN inevitably pans to Peja... it will hit different 🥂

sry if i missed it, is boggie fland - or another top-quality option - still on the table?
Just curious, why would you want Fland? We have a guy who has been playing pro ball in Europe at the same position, is 22 and in line for his conference MVP. Do you want to push him out? All this Boogie stuff is really short sighted to me. Brad has developed a roster that is old, is familiar with the style of play we want to run offensively and has proven success. Also, there has been zero smoke about us and Fland.

I once scored 4 touchdowns in a high school football game
Bravo! I can't imagine accomplishing that.

The unfortunate fact (for me) is that I once was a stout defender as a fierce middle school linebacker. With both dad and his fraternity brother (former Illini fullback) watching me in action, they came to the premature conclusion that I had a future in football. Oh well ...

I was a basketball player, and managed to make the right call on my own. Maybe my mom had something to do with helping me there. :)
