AS needs to keep his driving game as I am sure he will. He also showed some flashes of hitting those mid-range jumpers while driving. If he can improves his 3-point shooting and scores 3/4 per game within the offense, this team is going to the damn Final Four again. It's a big ask, but who knows?

I wholeheartedly agree with this and have been typing this POV during the season. Huge baskets inside the paint to finish off Iowa in the E8 as I recall. I'd like to see his brother develop the baby hook as well.

Has KB moved on and just wants to focus on professional ball?

Mike?

+100!

Again, I think we all wished we had Blackwell, so the Illini would be be the preseason #1. It did not happen, so we have to trust BU and staff with their moves. A very positive from this is the fact that BU will be playing Freshmen next year, and it's not a rebuilding year. It's a reloading...

I know BU and staff tried to get Blackwell. I give credit for going for it. I am assuming this is a Top 5 team as put together right now? You agree? If Coleman and Morillo do well (which, I think they can), then the team is even stronger. Question for me is: did other schools get that...

I think this is a fair point.

What is Brown's strengths? Can he dribble?

If our Insiders are content with this current team w/out Blackwell, then I am fine. BU and staff proved themselves bigly this year; they deserve our trust. For things to work, I feel Morillo and especially Coleman will outperform expectations. I feel the Twins along with Mirk will get a ton...

Assuming the Blackwell situation ain't happening, are the Illini done with the transfer portal now? Are they interested in anyone else for whatever? Insiders? Any potential info on this?

I hope our staff made that point to the agent and Blackwell himself.
