I was thinking that he may not start at the beginning of the season but will probably mid or end of the season

Does anyone think that BU may give DGL a shot at SG? I mean, it seems as if DGL is sticking around for some reason, no?

You are probably right. Too many games to make it to the final but having all teams compete no matter their standing is (was) one of the great things about college basketball conference tournaments. Don't forget the 1998-99 Illini team. Although it actually proves your point but that team...

That's why I said it depends on "need". In this age of CBB who knows if either of those two will still be here. And maybe Moretti will blow up like Podz. It's just a thought. I just thought it would be cool since it doesn't happen very often if at all. Also, I could be wrong but doesn't Boswell...

I wonder, if he blows up at a mid-major school and after onr or two years of being really good at the mid-major, would Illinois take him back if he so desired? Of course, it would depend on "need". It just seems that if a player transfers out, he never comes back (and in many instances, that is...

Wasn't Illinois on his final list coming out of high school four or five years ago? I guess Illinois is still interested after all these years.

Perhaps I was dreaming, hallucinating, or most likely I misread something but didn't someone post (and I am pretty sure it was an insider) something about Hawkins couldn't or wouldn't enter the NBA draft because of a leg injury? I think he was going to have an operation and get it cleared up. Or...

Is all the talk about RJ and Curbelo just some kind of joking around? They aren't coming back. I don't know if it is some unwritten law but it seems that once you transfer out from Illinois (and this probably applies to all schools) you aren't coming back. Unless the reason for the transfer is...

Or George Foreman

I could see Hawkins transferring (although, of course, I wouldn't like it). If he came back to the Illini he would be joining a team with a player roster as unfamiliar to him as the team to which he would be transferring. Heck, he might see more familiar faces if he transferred to WVU. Of...

This is my own opinion, of course, but I don't think of playing college basketball as a job, not in the traditional sense (and it wasn't until the last couple of years). Heck, if I was good enough to play college basketball I would do it for free, or, hey, here's an idea, I would play in...

Heck, I loved my college years at the UI. I wish I could have gone 6 years.

I asked about this when he made the announcement that he was going to take part in senior night back in, what?, March. I asked if this meant he would be transferring or wouldn't be back (maybe even just go out and get a job) and everyone firmly responded with a "no", that he could always take...

In the previous, now closed, recruiting thread, champaignpak posted, "Based on what the insiders said last time, and they heard from Rod, he has no plan on entering the portal." Sorry for being a dunce, but I have seen that name (Rod) in several posts recently and can't for the life of me...

I just looked him up. This seems like an interesting sub-story. Any info. on this?
