They were born August 2003. Their clock woul begin the 2022-2023 season because of their 19th birthday. They get 5 years and this would be the fifth.

Maybe some people on here don't view him as a point guard because outside of a few of you on this board, he has NEVER played the point guard or labeled a point guard by any recruiting agencies, sports platforms, or anybody else. You can't beat your opinion into people, time will tell.

Even Brad said Ty Rodgers was our point guard. When you have an undersized power forward who can't shoot as your point guard, yes, you have a point guard problem. Its not just a narrative, its reality. At least on the offensive side.

Exactly. Experience matters. You just argued against your own point. Jake is proven and a senior. Collins is a 6'8 200lb undersized power forward who will get thrown around by the bigger older guys and has zero ability to shoot. He is way too raw at this point. Jake Dsvis is actually bigger than...

Collins is ranked there for his long term upside. Extremely raw. Coleman is better now.

He was part of the reason they were ranked 170th. He has a lot of work to do in that area and Brad has shown a knack for fixing that.

Are you sniffing the wrong stuff? Another poster already said it. When you take away each team's best 3 players, Illinois is still significantly stronger than USC according to the torvic rankings. Move to southern LA dude.

I agree, I feel like thats why we don't have Brandon Lee this year. He could've been that good strong defensive guard off the bench people were asking for.

I think he's well informed. However, he enjoys being a troll more than giving an honest opinion. Nothing he says is credible.

They were relegated to end of game garbage time minutes. No need to double check. Anybody who watched, knows.

Well for 1, Andrej hurt himself at Michigan St, so the staff should've had been prepared if he had to sit that game out. Shows what they thought of the bench players. 2. Yes they play a difficult schedule, but thats not the point because they were healthy. Its when they are shorthamded or in...

We actually didn't use them when they were usable though. There were plenty of 20 pt games with 5 minutes left when we stuck with our starters. I trust Brad's talent evaluation plenty when it comes to starters, but I question how he uses those 9-15 scholarships. He always said they were gold...

Good question when it comes to depth. Because when we had 2 players injured last year Brad sure wouldn't go past a 6 player rotation. Tells you how he felt about scholarships 9-15.

Not just you, but its a pretty small group of you. Kylan is playing well though.

Its as simple as this. Their starting center, Bonke, has the same prospect grade as Zavier Zens. We went further in the tourney, we return more pieces, and have a higher recruiting class. Therefore, we have more depth. To say its MSU and its not close is disservice to any future opinion you want...
