I mean, I love all of this for the players, their families, and our program, but there is a not insignificant old guy yelling at clouds in me that will never forgive the NBA and the NCAA for not letting me see multiple years of Keaton, KJ, and Willyball in an Illini uniform.
I will not be taking questions.

If you get 2nd years of KJ & Riley do you get Andrej? Does Wagler still get the same opportunity?I mean, I love all of this for the players, their families, and our program, but there is a not insignificant old guy yelling at clouds in me that will never forgive the NBA and the NCAA for not letting me see multiple years of Keaton, KJ, and Willyball in an Illini uniform.

No chance on Andrej. We probably never even pursue him.
The Wagler question is a good one, though if he didn't get the same opportunity, we may have gotten 2nd year Wagler too.
Absolutely no idea where to put this, but I thought it was pretty cool and worth sharing. This seemed like the best place for me to tie it into the topic of different.
On vacation up in Northern Michigan and I went to play a round of golf by myself this morning and happened to get paired up with former Michigan point guard, Eli Brooks. He played golf in high school and has a solid swing.
Talked ball almost the entire round. He talked about how he played our boy Andres Feliz last year in Spain and also played Giorgi elsewhere, and how Giorgi is a clown lol
Unfortunately /s he was a super nice guy and made a fan out of me for him personally. I did tell him I’ve said some very mean things about Michigan over the last 9 months. Anyways I thought it was pretty cool and worth sharing with the board!

Andrej does not come with Riley blocking him. Wagler never gets the chance to be an All American.
More interesting question is how good is a team with soph KJ soph Riley added to Kylan, Tomi, Big Z, and improved Ben H. I think it probably makes 2nd weekend and loses. Having Keaton #5 pick in draft and adding Andrej and David trumps keep KJ and Riley.
Edits are so fire.

I forget every year summer league has no fouling out. Grahams Ike with 6 fouls in 16 minutes.
And Morez Johnson playing great! But with 6 fouls in 21 minutes. 0-3 from 3 tho

Interesting no Morez, but did include Dain, Coleman and Luke. Guess the bad feelings aren't just a perception.
Seems about right though. Those guys either spent a ton of time here (and won a lot) or spent their only time here.
We’d be getting mocked hard if we put Morez on here. Happy as h*** we didn’t lol
Skyy Clark is also in summer league and he’s (rightfully) not included. Nor would I think a guy like Podz should have been as well. Rj melendez is playing summer league too - not sure on epps? Sometimes as the kids say “it’s just some feel facts” and this this feels like the right ones to include

I mean Dain, Coleman and Luke all have a degree from Illinois. It’s really not hard to figure out.
