Don't think this is true. I'm almost certain our win @Wisconsin in 2020 to end that losing streak was in the blue. "Ayo up top, berries the three."

And then in 2023 we also wore them in Madison and won. The players openly said they wore them to break the curse.

Huh, they didn't come up when I looked back, and an article on TCR said they hadn't worn them since 2019...so two in Madison and two in Columbus in the blues.

I don’t think either Kylan or Tomi were 100%.

Think Tomi is still playing his way into shape and didn’t have his legs after 31 tough minutes on Saturday. His first 2 3s were both well short, as was his 3 to ice the game.

Think Kylan was still nursing his shoulder and that’s why he was passive.

Good news is we have 2 amazing freshmen to pick up the slack.

Heal up and get ready for a very good Nebraska team.

Seems like recruiting services just missed on Wagler. His only Visits were Illinois, Minnesota, Colorado State, Southern Illinois, Murray State.

Good scouting work by the Staff imo

Recruiting services, fine. It's largely just a circle jerk of pundits who are amateur talent scouts at best. They get the easy answers more or less correct.

How did opposing coaches mis-evaluate him almost across the board, though?

I don’t think I have ever seen that awful of officiating in my entire life.

Never seen DJ Carstensen officiate before?

He might be the only thing Illini and Hawkeye fans agree on. My entire section at Carver-Hawkeye in 2024 talked about how bad he is, regardless of whether we wore orange and blue or black and gold.

I know there's been discussion about Wagler, and many people think he'll be back next year.

Nope. Enjoy him while you can. He's a first round pick.

Second place is 1st loser said:
He won't be a lottery pick, but your point is well taken. As we sit here at this very moment, he'll be drafted. We'll see how his game and body continue to develop. It's a grind and he will hit the inevitable wall at some point.

Serious question here. Can someone explain to me how Keaton Wagler didn’t get an offer from any of the schools in the vicinity of KC? Not KU, KState, Wichita State, Mizzou, Creighton. How does that happen that this kid gets only 2 offers?

Wagler didn’t play aau so didn’t get as much exposure. Good for Illinois
