Adam Miller is on Gonzaga???? wow.. guess I was so distracted that he was still playing I didn't think about where. that's a pretty sweet deal for him. also can we add three point attempts and makes to morez... everytime for fun.

tre white will definitely win the "oh yeah he was on Illinois once, I totally forgot" award in like 3 years until forever

For the not so fun you can add them for Dra. He’s averaging 7 attempts a game and shooting just 23.8%. Definitely made the right decision to move down a level in competition.

Wow, Southern Miss has been brutal on Curbelo...

Felt this way earlier today while watching the MLT defense video...'oh yeah, he went to Wright State his last year' (jersey hanging behind him).

The Curbelo posts made me wonder what happened to him. He is now playing for Ironi Ness Ziona of the Israeli Ligat HaAl. I decided not to go further down the rabbit hole in regards to what exactly Ligat HaAl and Ironi Ness Ziona are, but I did notice their home court has a seating capacity of 1200. And their colors are orange and blue (and white), so he should feel right at home. He was dismissed from Southern Miss on February 22, 2025. I think that little factoid was reported here at the time, as it sounds familiar.

Morez hasn't scored more than 10 points in his last 3 games or hit a 3 all season. Dunno if he's the best fit at UM currently.

DGL went to the right place to get playing time. He played 39 minutes for UNLV last night in their game vs Maryland. He’s averaging 16 PPG but only shooting 28% from 3. He’s only averaging 1.5 Turnovers in 31 minutes though which is good

No doubt he’s a high usage “the guy “ over there.

Anyone want to put in the work to give us a big update on our former guys?

Rez has actually hit 2 three's, both in the same game.
Michigan basketball player Morez Johnson Jr. hit two 3-pointers during the Wolverines' 101-60 victory over Rutgers on December 6, 2025.
These two shots were particularly notable as they were the first 3-pointers of his college career. His performance that night, which included a total of 22 points, highlighted a new dimension to his game that his coach, Dusty May, attributed to his hard work in practice.

It seems like every player that leaves Illinois shoot a higher % from 3? Let it be clear other than Morez, it was best for each player and Illinois team to move on.

Booth 46%
Johnson 33%
White 39%
Clark 52%
Epps 38%
Miller 37%

25/26 Illinois 34%

"Every player"?

DGL: 27% (7 attempts / gm)
Morez: 33% (6 total attempts)
Harris: 18% (11 total attempts)
Moretti: 27% (11 total attempts)
Hansberry: 29% (3.5 attempts / gm)
Lieb: N/A (zero attempts)

My personal POV: we would've had to have been extremely selective (which is also assuming it was our choice whether they moved on or not)
