What do any of you know about Hamad Mousa of Cal Poly, who's still in the transfer portal? Mousa is listed as a 6'8", 200-pound Sophomore. One site lists him as a Guard {more likely), another has him listed as a PF. Mousa played his first season at Dayton, averaging only 7.8 minutes/game. He...

Dozic IS a European! LOL You make a good point about the tough sell for a starter somewhere else to take a much-reduced bench role at Illinois. You also suggest an interesting sell regarding a starting role for Dozic in 27-28, and development via Fletch and the coaching staff in 26-27. I would...

Danilo Dozic. Pepperdine Waves. Center/Power Forward. Sophomore. 6'10", 225 pounds. Born in Belgrade, Serbia. Averaged 11.3/2.7/1.5 while shooting 43.1/36.3/77.0 this past season. Agent is Misko Raznatovic.

You're making a very personal attack on WC. Shouldn't be needed to make an argument or your point. I see a lot of folks wanting to make next year's team better. To insure against major injuries or illnesses at important player positions. Not sure anyone has said that adding a 9th (or 10th) man...

No? Yes.

I don't thonk that adding an experienced PF to come off the bench would have ANY IMPACT on Morillo's playing time or his happiness with the program.

Can't we "trust the staff" while still offering opinions and/or making suggestions? I'd like to think so.

I don't believe that the Illini signing a backup PF from the transfer portal, one like 6'9", 245-pound junior David Fuchs (San Francisco), would break any "promises or representations the staff has made to other players." Mirk would still be the starter at PF. He'd still get his 32 minutes of...

Any interest in identifying those "couple of backup plans"? LOL Or even if those potential backup plans play the same SF/Wing position as Andrej?

6'9", 245-pound Junior, Power Forward David Fuchs (San Francisco), is still available in the transfer portal. Fuchs, born in Vienna, Austria, averaged 12.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists in 24.0 minutes/game this past season for the Dons, while shooting 51.7% on FGs, 30.3% on 3-pointers...

Not good for Illinois. If it's going to be the Illini, why not announce in the SJO gym and hear all of the applause from students and other Illini fans? With the Pat McAfee Show announcement, I'm guessing it's Notre Dame. Or maybe Oregon.

A couple of posters have mentioned 6'10", 225-pound, sophomore C/PF Danilo Dozic (Pepperdine) as a possible 4/5 depth addition. [Serbia] I have mentioned 6'9", 245-pound, junior PF David Fuchs (San Francisco) as another possible 4/5 depth addition. [Austria] Illinois probably wouldn't need to...

I'm fine with those unimpressive numbers by Danilo vs Gonzaga. Many posters seem to think that any additional big man that Illinois adds would only be playing 5-10 minutes per game next season. So, the price for Illinois to get a transfer by Danilo might only need to top whatever dollar amount...

That's good to know! Relax. No need to invoke God. ☺️

I've been suggesting that Illinois should consider adding transfer 6'9", 245-pound, junior PF David Fuchs (San Francisco) as a possible backup for David Mirkovic. Fuchs averaged 12.7/7.8/1.4 this past season while shooting 51.7/30.3/64.5 for the Dons. I just read an article stating that Indiana...
