Plummer hit .408 on 98 of 240 3pt shots in '21-22, but had 35 assists to 43 TO's and went undrafted Wagler hit .397 on 87 of 219 3pt shots '25-26 but also had 157 assists to 66 TO's (and was a deservedly #5 lottery pick) Vaaks could possibly outshoot them both and also get lots of assists and be...

Watching a lot of Vaaks footage, I believe he will be a very able Wagler replacement. Coleman should provide better offense than Boswell, and hopefully can provide decent defense to boot. Z, Davis and Morillo I expect to be first guys off the bench. In early part of season, Zens, Brown and...

With Maddy Weber ready to be offensive sparkplug to sub out Dolan and/or Bourrage and a very capable 6.0' Ona Riopedre up next. Destiny will also become a bigger scoring threat in her soph season and also expect backup Guyton to improve and mature and Brown-Haggar provide veteran presence. The...

Yes a backup center to Lety that can score and rebound inside would be an ideal get. Another spot up high% wing shooter would round out team.

Illini have ideal point guard, i.e. Vaaks (assuming he is definitely signed)

Morillo is very good with length 6'7", can play guard positions, needs to improve 3pt %. Slovenian Stevan Joksimovic would be an ideal add as a stellar guard/wing, shoots ball well.

Agree, Morillo is a big guard but his game is more like Stojakovic than Wagler. Not known as a high % 3pt shooter but a slasher type.

Well I hope he has improved tons since this game a few months back.

Hope Ty finds a place he can play starter minutes and play well enough to get Euro Pro interest if he wants to keep playing.

Looked at Transfer Portal and this tall player stood out: Gracie Merkle, 6-6, C, Jr. (19.2 ppg, 8.2 rpg) at PSU

Illinois can beat Iowa if they continue to play their best, stick to game plan and give max effort.

In my dreams I imagine Illinois tempting 6'7" Alicia Tournebize away from South Carolina with NIL dollars. She definitely will lead a team to contention.

This team needs to grow a spine and play full out all the time. They have much more talent than most other teams but don't consistently show it. Disappointing.

Game was on NBCSN on YouTubeTV

Michigan gave Illinois a thorough butt whipping and outplayed Illini in every aspect. Illini looked unable and unwilling to contend and defend.
