I love Ty and his loyalty but if he is starting for illinois next season, something went TERRIBLY wrong in the offseason

TY literally has no offensive game. I think it’s safe to say he isn’t gong to be shooting 30% from 3
Idk if we are going to spend huge to get a PG vice SG/Wing…
But if you ran a combination of Swain/Juke Harris with Andrej…that’s unmatched size/athleticism /ability to get to the rim.
QC 6’4
Swain 6’8/Juke 6’7
Andrej 6’7
Opposing wings are gonna have a ROUGH night.
Saw you post Karter Knox is hitting the portal…that’s another dude that I would target especially with the OA ties.

Gotta shoot one before you can have a percentage

Fletch needs to get him in the weight room day 1.nice endorsement:
helluva graphic too
In 2 years Ty has attempted 0/1 for 3s. I remember arguing with people on here that Buck Harris would never develop a shot. Look how that worked out
Im guessing he has already been given the "regimen" to get started on.
From the "Meet David Mirkovic" article:
I was puzzled by this one... Andrej isn't a plus shooter... and Ty?

I love the positional size that we have and hopefully will continue to have. Length and the height advantage makes up for defensive lapses and being able to shoot over the defender on the offensive end is a huge plus.
Both Ty and AS are elite at the rim.
Are they shooting layups? I doubt that is what they are talking about when they refer to it as a "competitive shooting drill", but the comment was vague enough on its own I suppose.
There hasn't been any case that's established anything.
Pavia sued regarding his eligibility because he came from JUCO. He got an injunction that allowed him to play. The judge did not rule that JUCO seasons don't count. The ruling was essentially that JUCO seasons might not count, so if Pavia was not allowed to play he might be irreparably harmed in the case he is right.
As a result the NCAA granted a one-time eligibility waiver for only the 2025 season to athletes who had at least one year of JUCO or NAIA that would have counted towards their eligibility. They essentially did this to avoid having hundreds, maybe thousands, of athletes sue them hoping to get similar injunctions.
At the same time the NCAA appealed the injunction. The appeal was dismissed as moot because of the blanket waiver the NCAA granted which would apply to Pavia. Pavia's lawsuit apparently is still going in the hopes of changing JUCO/NAIA eligibility rules permanently but there's been no ruling.
Joey Aguilar recently sought an injunction for next season on similar grounds and was denied.
Judge denies Tennessee QB Joey Aguilar’s request for injunction in eligibility case
The NCAA previously denied Tennessee’s request for what would be counted as a seventh season of eligibility for Aguilar.

That's why I only do predictions about things that happened last week!
Ok let’s see him actually make a 3 in a game. That didn’t happen in the 2 years he played
So, if Ben wants another season, he needs to sue the NCAA and get greater relief than Pavia got.There hasn't been any case that's established anything.

Yeah this is what I was referencing.
You are very right to say that the NCAA's logic was as simple as "let's kick the can down the road and not lose 10,000 injunctions in two months"
But there can be no underlying principle there other than "JUCO and NAIA don't count".
European pros are different, dinging them for seasons in which they got paid is a separate analysis.
It's chaos out there so who knows, but I would be optimistic if Ben wanted to push for another year, and that's coming from the guy who has been Mr. Bummer when insiders were claiming internal confidence about waivers for guys like Domask and DeVito.
If you have played four full non-Covid NCAA seasons you have no leg to stand on, that line has basically held amid all of this. But Ben has only played three.
agree
I hate to say it , but that ship has sailed
he seems like a great dude, but if he wants playing time , he needs to look in G5 or similar step down .
he’s been loyal , but Brad & the program do not owe him anything other than honesty . Perhaps assistance in an off ramp and landing spot .
Well. There’s very little chance of this happening tonight (or Monday). It’s been 735 days since he last played a D1 basketball game. I think wondering if he’s improved his shot over a (checks math) 2+ year period is perfectly valid.
I’m calling it now: if Illinois lands D-Wade, they’re winning a championship next season.
