He said in an interview in Puerto Rico it happened in exhibition game in october, he showed the clip where he fell and hit his head on the hardwood. He said thats were it all started. Dont remember if it was first or second exhibition game.

Belo explained why he is not playing in Puerto Rico instagram page, had a fall to the head on oct 29, and since then has had a lot of symptoms and has not been himself,(did not soecify on suymptoms) he showed the clip of the play, does say he is feeling better and is a process, that his family...

Are the illini practicing 5 on 5 right now? Does somebody know how does the offseason schedule work?

This team is really exciting, there is literally 12 guys that will compete to be in the rotation, probably the veteran guys (grandison, williams, hawkins) will get the first crack at the 3-4, but the freshman probably have higher upside if they eventually get a role, thats not even counting...

I would not be surprised towards the end of the year to see a lot of curbelo, plummer, hutcherson, melendez and kofi lineup

Curbelo looks a lot stronger in his pic at least 10 lb of muscle

However unless a miracle occurs, only one team qualifies, and beating serbia, in servia with bogdan bogdanovic, jokic. Marjanovic, teodosic, blejica, micic(euroleague mvp) is nearly imposible, the ehole team is like 6”7 snd above you get on an elevator with them and dont know which one are the...

I dont know if there are some other reasons as he complained earlier in the year that the team did not take young guys, and that he was 100% available, but at least the classes is the excuse or reason, pr directives have given

He said, or the national team directives saidthat he could not go because he was taking summer classes, the team leaves the 14 for greece and does not come back before july 5th. When he probably took that decision, jj barea, shabbaz napier and gary browne werethe 3 pgs slated to play and were...

Alfonso plummer just invited for puerto rico national team for olympic qualifying tourney curbelo is invited as well, june 29-july 3, serbia , italy, senegal in the group, i dont know if they make the team, maybe one of them, as jj barea, shabbaz napier, and gian clavell are the guards in the...

Curbelo played on the 2019 team, with julian strawther from gonzaga who averaged 20 ppg snd is in for breakout year next year, although the guards were solid, they played above their age group, and puerto rico as usual and that year specifically had no big mem, pf and center were 6”6, still, got...

U19 means you can be 19 or under the calendar year of the event, so padilla is 19 this year he can play, for example, curbelo is 20 in october, for which he is not eligible

I believe ramses melendez will play for PR in this summer u19 world cup team, they could have a reaaally good team with rafael pinzon from st johns, and julian strawther, played this year in gonzaga and phillip wheeler who plays professionally in argentina, july 3-11, i believe ramses will come...

He was a fringe player on the pr u16 team, more of a shooter than a true point guard, his dad edgar padilla umass (final four 1996 on camby and calipari team ) is andre curbelos mentor and the one who brought him over to luhi , good relationship with antigua had good grades in good pr school...

Im guessing Melendez if he can at least gain 10 lb in the summer, could get some sort of role given he is long, good shot blocker and unless Illinois lands a stud like Mitchell , BU likes a guard/foward hybrid at the 4 that shoots and defends ,which I could see Melendez fulfilling, maybe goode...
