Our center depth is the best in the country. Z would start on 80% of Power 5 teams (or more).
It's the other positions where depth is a question mark (most notably the 4).

That would be a great trifecta in 27.Kitt, Wabbington, pettigrew
It would certainly be the greatest ever since Brady Pettigrew is a 28 classer, the only one with that name in that class of which I am aware.
But with BU on the hunt, who knows if there is a guy in Croatia named Pettigrewovic that he is chasing who is better than anyone in the class of 27.
Ya just never know with our staff!!

Pettigrew will very likely re-class to '27
I thought he was going to reclassify.It would certainly be the greatest ever since Brady Pettigrew is a 28 classer, the only one with that name in that class of which I am aware.

Brad Underwood's official visit hot streak continues with 5-star SF Moussa Kamissoko
Brad Underwood is going to be busy in the months leading up to the 2026-2027 college basketball season, and not just because practices are soon to start back up

I believe we will be all in on Pettigrew.
Would be a gut punch if Duke eventually came through with the offer. His intreview sound bites allude to him waiting on it. But I'm not sure why he would want to join that guard logjam. That said, we could ask the same question about a Rippey-type.

More than all in and yes he will be
Quentin Coleman was a great start. I hope we can keep the train rolling in 2027 and 2028.Brad Underwood's official visit hot streak continues with 5-star SF Moussa Kamissoko

No rebuild. Only reload. And keep getting more bites at the apple.
Keeping putting guys in the NBA and keep winning. Everything will continue to fall into place.

so, 110% then?
For sure Brad is definitely lining up some extremely talented players if we can land a couple and continue to hit on and develop talent from within along with the transfer portal the future is bright ILL
His older brother. 6'7" forward- plays for the Rev at Valpo.
Neither him or his brother are particularly good 3 point shooters.
You do realize being a fan is optional right? No one is forcing this life upon you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you be a positive person on this board.
It’s been abundantly clear by insiders how IN the staff is on Brady many times over.
There’s a shot of Brady chopping it up with the Underwoods just a few months ago in May.
For a guy who posts here daily you would know all this.
So your comment is misdirected at best and trolly at worst.
JT would be a great #9thMan.
FWIW, Kyle from IlliniInquirer said on the podcast that before he even asked Brady, he told him Illinois was the school he was “hearing from the most” and “had the strongest relationships with.”
Does go on to note Arkansas might be our biggest competition and was the school he “brought up alongside Illinois.”
