I don’t blame the insiders for giving us information that was accurate at the time but my goodness this is getting annoying lol. I feel like I’ve had my hopes up too many times and gotten crushed every time

I think as it stands right now, we are a team that will make the ncaa tournament as a 6 seed or better… I think a lot of people are seeing players for what they were last year and don’t realize that DGL will be a LOT better, Ty Rodgers will be a LOT better and the coaching staff will make sure...

Personally, I was never used to that

Love his game. Always room for a 6’8 guy with those kind of skills IMO. I will say the only downside to what I’m seeing here or potential issues he’ll run into is physicality. Hardly any from what I’m seeing in this league he currently plays in. He’ll have to adjust big time in the B10

I see a lot of talk about Gary Hairless on this thread. I posted about that first article (hit piece really) that he posted about “should they be playing Terrence?” And I agree that he should apologize for those statements. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to make an attempt to crush a 23 year...

Yes. What’s your point?

Did you see him as a 1 at this time last year?

To say he has not shown progress is out there, but I’ll scoot past that. I understand he hasn’t made progress shooting but if you think this team last year is the same if a freshman Ty was starting at PG then you and I were watching different games the past 2 years. For one, I think that Ty...

I’m confused. He’s not in the portal, right? Therefore we can’t get him next year EDIT: he’s in the portal, just couldn’t find him

Why? He just started nearly every game as a sophomore on a team that made the elite 8 at a position he doesn’t even play. Like I said, if I uttered that statement about a guy who played for UNC last year and wanted to portal over to Illinois- we’d all pencil him in as a starter

Let’s not rule out Ty Rodgers starting at that 2… I imagine he’s gonna work his butt off this summer and be really really good. Also, I could be wrong but I feel like we have a level of rose-colored glasses for transfers- like a new shiny toy… like if Ty was a dude we’d played against during the...

Can someone explain the Serbia stuff? I am not able to access twitter links
