    Suuuuper underrated reply to @I-L-L 1318 imo. Amidst all the recent Blackwell->Dookie drama, I think some of us *hand up* hadn’t really FULLY stopped to think of the impact QC might have. I think of some of the defensive transformations Brad has helped oversee for players who started out more...

    Ahh thank you Quentin 😌. Was getting tired of seeing Morez in that “#2 all-time Illinois recruit” spot on 247. One more elite commit and we can finally bump Morez off the screen… and pretend he never existed 🙌🏾

    Fair pushback. Reason I left that out, it was reported (I think by @Indy Illini Fan ) that Brad & co really wanted Blackwell. So I assumed if they made him a priority, they were good with the chemistry fit. And I trust them!

    Time for my first Kool Aid post. 🙏🏾 Zero reasons to doubt @LvilleILL1, @Indy Illini Fan - their record speaks for itself. But as an “outsider” for some reason I’m still (foolishly?) holding out hope that we land Blackwell. Things don’t seem to add up. If our read on Blackwell is true (i.e. he...

    this literally sums it up best 🫡. No one is complaining that we’re gonna be “bad” without Blackwell. We’re gonna be awesome.This level of retention WITH talent accrual and minimal portal attrition is unprecedented in the portal era. But I think it’s fair that people are disappointed that we’re...

    Agree. I’m not a fan of praising scUM in any way, but one of the things I thought Dusty May did well was managing minutes on an incredibly deep team. Hoping Bradislav might do something similar with all the depth we’ll have. Keeps our guys: 1. more fresh 2. less injury prone…. and dare I say...

    Ah yes. I’d refer you to the oft-forgotten 12th commandment: “thou shalt not question the insiders 😤“ Noobs like us gotta remember our place amongst the loyalty deities 🙇‍♂️ lol (As for IU, a couple years ago they had the #2 class with Luke Goode and we still went into Bloomington and whooped...
