A friend of mine who is a huge Tennessee fan said he's heard they have $8-$10M left to spend.
Soak it in
Why would Ugochukwu take that role? He is leaving MSU because they have good freshman guards coming in and he's going to move down the roster into the role you want him to take here.My money is on Kentucky or a team where he’ll get a lot of usage. Not sure if he’d want to come here and fight for a spot against a bunch of guys who were retained.
I know someone who might take on the role we have room for though (not an insider, just vibes)

Cross-cultural marriages can be fraught. I speak, unfortunately, from experience, though the cultural discontinuity I had to bridge was a lot less substantial than an Iowa-Illinois gulf.
Right. Would have gladly taken Blackwell but I was skeptical about how much he raised our ceiling, particularly at the price he likely fetched.
This is a great point. While it would be wonderful to win a Natty next year, I’m way more interested in being at the top year in and year out. When the Blackwell recruitment went south, my first thought was that our new, shiny five star (Coleman) balked at being recruited over. Who wouldn’t?? He can write his own ticket to virtually any program in the country. I’m thrilled he picked us for 1-4 years, whereas Blackwell is gone after a single year. Morillo, too, may very well be an unpolished diamond. I’m 100% behind the coaches’ decision making in this regard. Go Illini!
How do we think Adam Miller would have turned out if he had just stayed out here for his entire career? Better than Kylan? All-B1G caliber?A veteran guard is available!
I would imagine given our pipeline that he’s either already on, consciously off, our radar.
It was reported by a couple of shady sites, but as you said, there is no indication he plans to withdraw from the draft. He won't be a lottery pick, but you'd be hard pressed to find a mock that has him outside the 1st round.
Wierd stuff in cottage cheese??? I didn't know that was actually a thing.
It wasn’t you. It was her.
And remember, come March he effectively will be a sophomore
can I throw a weird concept out here. this is a bit of devil's advocate comment but.....is Todd Golden just new version of Scott Drew. one amazing run in the tournament masking a lot of early exits. they likely will be preseason number 1 but if they don't make another second weekend this year then his NCAA record will be pretty bad. did they address their backcourt enough this year?
Maybe Petro wants to play and not ride pine.If we want a back-up PG, why wouldn't we just hold on to Petro?
Yes, I watched him all of his minutes. If you watched any of his tape, you'd easily see why we took him in the first place.
Mentality...hmmmm...60% of this board still dreams of Curbelo
He's not in the portal.
People don't understand that this is how you move a player that you want to replace. Cut his NIL to nothing or next to it. Tell him that you don't want to pay much to a guy who isn't going to get any minutes. If he can play elsewhere he will go. His agent will already know where he can play. Bring in a player with potential who didn't get to play, or a freshman.
