Insiders probably not sharing the name of the mystery person because most of you people lose your mind if we don’t secure every single recruit we go after.
All of the absolutely WILD takes in this thread the last couple days. A little perspective on how this is the greatest time to be an Illini basketball fan from a 40 year old life long Illini fan:
I was only 4 when we were the flyin Illini and those banners in the rafters don’t mean much to me...
All the Blackwell is not coming here smoke I’m seeing on X and online to me is nonsense. Our insiders have been spot on this offseason. And most of them still believe we are in the lead or have a good shot to land Blackwell. I’ll trust their word and insight over the online pundits who don’t...
If you’re looking at things on a 1 for 1 trade perspective I’d look at the “trades” being Vaaks for Wagler and Blackwell for Bam. Then you keep Drej, Mirk, Tomi, Z, Coleman and Jake.
Preseason #1. Not sure it’s really close and I think Blackwell is an improvement over Bam.
