I agree with this, I saw him play live (granted only once) but he got in foul trouble and then picked up another dumb foul. That and with all his recruiting drama is making me think he could be head case. He was also in the middle of an on court scuffle against EHS this year too. He has the...

Ah gotchya, thanks. Watched some of his highlights and got some brief excitement about the possibility.

Haven't had time to read this whole thread yet but has there been any discussion about OSU commit Zack Dawson considering coming to IL with BU? Another PG but if we cannot land Smith or lose Williams and landed Dawson, I think I could live with it. Dawson has great size and obviously BU thinks...

Agreed. Emphasis on "small win streak." Does not make up for the many unacceptable 20 point losses we've seen during Groce's tenure.

I'm confused why Bennett and Sean Miller's names are being thrown around for our next coach? I find it hard to believe they can view Illinois as an upgrade to the teams they are coaching now. Can someone fill me in on how either of these two are a possibility? Obviously I would love to see...

I agree, I think we lack athleticism. Something that can't be measured by numbers but agree that our foot speed and quickness lack on both sides of the ball. If Black and Hill aren't hitting jump shots on a particular night, we will struggle to score. We miss Nunn on defense and offense IMO.

Ok ok, bad example. I got it

All I'm saying is that hopes are not high for Illini basketball this year by me, I'm not predicting favorites for any hypothetical games.

You have obviously never seen SIUE play

To shed some light on how bad of a game this was, SIU-Edwardsville from the Ohio Valley conference beat IUPUI earlier this year..SIUE lost to McKendree in an exhibition game this year too. We should have beat IUPUI by 20, instead it took a 32 point effort from Hill to squeak out a win against...

Thats fair, but a guy has 3 good games against 3 unranked teams and all of a sudden people start saying a 6'7 PF is NBA bound..cant buy it.

Black will never play in the NBA. He is coming on strong as a player at Illinois but he does not have the skill or the size to play in the NBA. Thinking of that unnecessary dribble he took off his foot after a great offensive rebound late in the game. Not a high basketball IQ guy.
