    Tend to agree to determine who has a better season is more than offensive stats. If QC is a good defender and delivers Miller type offense then 26/27 Illinois team could be special or some might say ELITE 1) QC offensive numbers - QC offense stats should be similar to freshman Miller 2) QC...

    agree - It doesn't feel like we are going to have to wait 15 years for another F4 with 1) coaches firmly locked in. Hopefully the coaching stability in turn leads to sustained program success. Look at the other trips to the F4 and it was always surrounded by significant changes. My orange...

    Agree on Rodgers but another player the board loved but didn't contribute was Hutcherson

    late to the party 1) they aren't good shooters 2) significant role? 9/10 on the roster 3) What was the NIL offer? Good for them an offer at another D1 school.

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    IMO Randle looked more horrible. Sure would be nice if timberwolves made a couple of passes. The 1x1 ISO stuff aint working (says a guy who didn't watch any NBA games until the playoffs started) :)

    no way I make my selection based on some measurables. If Kenton was your choice at #5 stick with it. If Acuff was your choice at #5 stick with it.

    You mean like Rodgers and Lee? Staff has transitioned and is looking for tall shooters Understand why guys might not see as much playing time as they want.

    agree not a great fit for Andrej as lead guard as his ball handling and decision making is not great. Much prefer him in the ISO matchups.
