Kasparas has been playing against high level competition since he was 15, with Barcelona since he was 16. Ivisic for 4-5 years as well. Not your typical freshmen. Riley would likely start with any team in the country. They are all new to Illini and Brad defense, so they will take a little time...

Another center and one that can pop from outside. Illini women are putting together a much improved set of talent. Looking forward to seeing how they pan out. https://play.fiba3x3.com/players/4d62094b-3642-4759-bfe5-facee6d4260a

I mostly agree with that assessment. Think this team has a lot of potential and Brad has a deep talented bunch to work with. Rodgers may start but IMO White may get more minutes. Booth and Humrichous may split minutes, same for Johnson and Ivisic. DGL will back up Boswell and Kasparas, along...

Wish NCAA golf awarded best scores in 72 hole play for individuals and teams and discarded artificial match play, run championship like pro golf tournaments.

Kasparas (or Demin) would have a greater impact on Illini success and also make their teammates better..

Illini biggest shortcomings last couple years under Green has been not having a dominant two-way center, being able to guard bigger guards and Illini smaller players frustrations in attempting layups against taller players. Lety gives Illini interior defense and scoring, and can open up lane for...

Has Riley reclassed to 2024 or is he being recruited for 2025? Riley and Fears are a great combo.

I believe the article was spot on and truthful and that's all I ever ask of journalists is to report facts. Shouldn't matter if Coleman was offended as he was likely hoping hoping NIL suitors would value him more highly if they thought he was likely to be drafted. Coleman is still one of the...

It is no stain on Hawkin's career at Illinois. Hawkins was loyal and came back last season at less than market rate. He doesn't owe Illinois anything anymore, but he does owe it to himself and his future family to earn some real money while the iron is hot right now. Rehab his nagging injuries...

Good get for Illini women (y) Played with Cori Allen in HS at Montverde

No one knows for sure how well Tre will play though I expect a pleasant surprise out of him. We can only hope Ty has added outside shooting to his skills to become a more complete player. Having two really good players is better than one.

Ivisic and Humrichous are great shooters and Boswell, Kasparas are too. Illini offense is best when they move the ball around and everyone can shoot it well.

Starters are a long way from being established and will change during the season. I have most minutes going to Kylan B and Kasparas J at guard, with DGL & Ty backing them up. I can see White starting at wing with Ty and Davis backing him up. I see Humrichous starting at PF with Booth right...

I really don't give a rats a** what Torvik or others think or think they know. I am content in believing this season's Illini version has ability to contend for a Big Ten (18) crown and make another deep run in NCAA tourney. There is nothing that would make me believe any differently. Looking...

IMHO, they should award team championship based on final 72 hole scoring and individual awards as well. Golf is not a match play kind of sport and match play does not reward 72 hole play, just whoever gets luckiest on one day and selected individual matchups. Bogus..
