I'm very surprised about Dra. This is getting maddening. All these players (and their agents) know how to hold everything in check. Would LOVE to finally hear some recruiting results.

Exactly. I'm hoping Dra is that "shooting point guard" you mention.

Are you saying we still have a chance with Dennis?

It would be a gift from Above if we finally learn something clearly today.;;

When does RayJ Dennis commit to the Illini???? I think it's crucial to land him, and I'm too old to play the waiting game. Is there anything new out there?

I thought they paid the Seminole tribe. Wrong?

Illinois athletics have never EVER had a mascot. No reason to look for one. We're getting along just fine. The chief is still alive and well in the hearts and minds of alumni, fans, and backers. The chief was NEVER a mascot.

I suppose you're right. Maybe libel would be more appropriate.

I can only hope you are right.

Six pts. per games in which he played 20 or more minutes. Oh my; a veritable lethal weapon.

If he should happen to develop (which I doubt will happen at his age) a consistent mid-range jumper and can create it off the bounce, then you'd have to guard him on the perimeter. Don't expect this to happen, but hope I'm mistaken.

Downey once told me that game was woven into the wu-wei sequence from Chinese lore. Dave is and always was a very intelligent guy with a strong interest in Eastern religions.

Somebody used the word "slander" in connection with posts on Ty. That's way over the top. I like him and he has many skills. He plays consistently hard on defense and he's a plus rebounder. I'm glad we've got him. But he can't shoot, and anybody with eyes knows it. And it's highly...

Is that who I think it is? In the photo with no cat?

Wrong. He's much better than that.
