Spot on…if Tomi had Mirk’s nose for the ball and will to grab every single board he wouldn’t be in college basketball still.

You’re absolutely right about usage. No doubt in my mind he won’t get the same touches as his freshmen year… I do think he can get close to 35% from 3 and start playing with the confidence and poise that we saw in the tournament last year. Felt like a lot of last year he never found his...

Most underrated story line for me next year is Tomi playing more like freshmen Tomi OR even better with the physical transition. It’s almost like we are all looking for the next Wagler in Coleman or expecting Andrej/Mirk to make that AA leap while we sleep on Tomi who can take us to the next level.

I’m sure the donors are confident in whomever Brad wants to bring in at this point….but are their any who specifically prefer the uber talented in state kids and are willing to go a little over the top to bring in the home state phenoms? I know this is a little “inside baseball” but I always...

Any talk of a Nasir Anderson reclass? With the 27 draft looking weak and his athleticism and skill being off the charts…I don’t see why he wouldn’t make a couple mill next year and forego his senior season. Could very well be a lotto pick even with the early entry.

Surprised to hear Brad Sturdy and Ked sound like we are the leaders for Pettigrew. Also, Kelly but maybe to a lesser extent. Pettigrew is perfect for the system. He’d be a phenomenal get.

I’d reach out to Nasir Anderson and see if he’d be interested in making a couple million and entering a weak ‘27 draft…

5 in 5 passing…means Boswell is back. Would also open a portal for all players with eligibility..no idea who they could be targeting. The speculation will be fun though!

OA must be getting us into the Tyran Stokes race. Or Nas Anderson is reclassing. ONLY two options the Insiders could be hinting at. 😂

I think the phrase is, “Get two birds stoned at once.” Feel free to fact check that.

All the “his numbers not being as high could hurt his draft stock” is absolute BS. No one is drafting Blackwell to be a high usage player in the NBA. Anyone in his camp saying that is disingenuous and is just masking him wanting numbers for his own edification. I’m sorry but it’s true. NBA...

He’s going to Duke…Guess they don’t have anybody with high usage there? Besides the multiple top 25 guards…

Operation Blackwell is back on… This would be the greatest Illinois offseason psyop of all time.

This made me nervously flip to the portal tracker and scour over the Crystal Balls… Getting our heart rates up, Indy!

You must not be on X because Illinination is convinced it’s one or the other right now… My feed was absolutely slammed with those posts. I’m assuming a paywall site hinted at such for it to take such a life of its’ own.
