It appears to me that how a team performs in the post season (and Scheyer's teams have performed well in every post season he has been the HC at Duke) define success. Two points which prove that: (1) Hubert Davis - 1 league title, 1 sweet 16 and 1 National Championship runner up. Lose to VCU in...

Well, Scheyer has been more successful in his first 4 years than coach K was is in last 4 years. And given the players Scheyer recruits - I don't see Duke dropping anytime soon. I am uncertain where you get your hyperbole, but going to three elite 8's, a final 4, winning an ACC tournament and 2...

When .832 win pct in both the ACC and Overall - three trips to the elite eight (one to the FF) and two regular season conference championships and one ACC tournament title in 4 years becomes "underachieving" please do let all of us know!

Candidly, the coaches really didn't go after Blackwell. Can you imagine the uproar that would have ensued had they not ACTED as if they were going after Blackwell? This was a two - fold decision. The first was money - even though our NIL spend ($14 -$17mm) will be in the top 15 (possibly...

Reading in AI that this year's class size is expected to be 50 - 60% of what last year (2026) was.

Just to add to what are very astute observations: How much zone we play will depend on (1) who we are playing and (2) which match ups are hurting us. Given whom is returning, I would expect the final version of our MTM (which usually coincides with the end of the first academic term) to be...

How do you get to adds? 2 grads, 1 NBA declaration, 3 transfers = 6 out. 5 Freshman + 1 transfer = 6 in. That leaves 14 rostered players. Brad has always left a roster spot open. Until we see announcements from Jason Jakstys, Brandon Lee or Blake Fagbemi, and its unlikely we add anyone and the...

With Ty in the portal someone is coming.

Ben wasn't a role player and neither was Andre or Z, even though they came off the bench. Brad is the ultimate chess players when it comes prepping for the opposition. The 8 man rotation was designed to force multiple match ups and switches.

You were right. In fact, very right. For the upcoming 2026-27 athletic year, the University of Kentucky is projected to invest heavily in its rosters, with total spending for football and men's basketball estimated to approach $47 million combined . Projected Player Spending by Program...

Having lived within 300 meters (both sides of the street) of Kensington High Street Tube station for 45 years, I can't hide the my **** eating grin as it relates to Spurs. However, would be much happier if it were Westham or Arsenal. Being originally from Glenview and constantly fixated on the...

Yeah, I can get it

Well, if there is one thing we can say with certainty - his coaches and teammates have seen him play... everyday. If they didn't think he could help the team next year he would already be in the transfer portal. I can't speak to his shooting improvement or if his injury hurts his ability to get...

Illinois accepted an invitation to the 2025 Music City Bowl against Tennessee. While the specific payout for the 2025 game is not explicitly listed in the results, the Music City Bowl has previously featured payouts in the range of US$5.7 million. Bowl payouts typically go to the conference to...

Illinois earned approximately $10.5 million in NCAA tournament units for the Big Ten Conference by reaching the 2026 Final Four. In addition to this, the program boasted significant NIL value, with key players leading national merchandise sales and guard Keaton Wagler holding an estimated $1.5...
