The better we get, the crazier we get. Love it.

I took it as someone else may announce tonight and he wanted to give it space.
Yeah wasn't he originally suppose to announce yesterday, then we had 4 announce. Wondered if that was because he wanted to not do the same day.

Who knows.

If you have to spend all the money on #TheRetention, spend all the money on #TheRetention.

And Vaaks will not have come cheap. He's arguably a more valuable asset than Blackwell given the extra years of eligibility.

I like the idea of giving Lee the surplus guard job. It's that fourth big that's a bit of a head-scratcher. Humrichous was really critical for us in terms of making lineups work.
Who would have thought Ben would go from being the bane of Illini basketball to some last year to being a key cog in the wheels of our rise back to the final four this year.

If they miss on Blackwell and Drej is back (expected), I think they add a guard and a long term play at the 4.
Cool. I’m in. Might as well take a shot at someone that you think could develop and see how they look as the year goes. Need another practice body anyway I would think.

I’m assuming since the twins are back we aren’t in the mix for Luigi Suigo? He was interesting to me but wouldn’t make sense anymore.

Personally, I would bring in a guard with some experience and bring Coleman off the bench, but whatever…

You guys are giving me a hard time and many want Jason to go but not Blake. Who's backing up to 4/5 if Z gets hurt or sick? Blake, Jake or Andre? Z is litweallt us uf Jason camt play. I bet we add a guy for tgar role.

Weird, no goodbye message from Ty yet? Or did I miss it?
I could see Ty moving down a level, tearing it up for two years, and returning to the UI to join the staff in some capacity. He would be a great addition as a mentor.
