Plus, with this group around Vaaks , better looks on less volume, i kind of expect Vaaks to be as good or better than anyone from 3. I think he is NBA bound too along with Colena one day.

Danillo is a 6'10 plus 4 man. He needs more muscle but he isnt a wing. If its just rebounding we need if Jaktys can play he can rebound and has length too. Going into his 3rd season as still a redshirt/ med reshirt guy on the cheap he can still do those things a few minutes if thats what we...

I see the Serbian Danilo Donic has yet to commit anywhere. I wonder if we are stillin on him.or someone else for the Ben role?

Well, i think a lot of that is depending how you look at things. I see them as wings, 3s and I think they do as well. Its likely they all want to go pro somewhere and for Andre and Juke if the want to be in the NBA id think it will be as what they would call themselves or a guard

Actually i was wrong. for his career at Pepperdine below. He did improve while taking more shots at nearly 5 a game. I am curious how he played vs Zags. Im gonna look it up. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/danilo-dozic-1.html

I know Indy mentioned Danillo a while back and I consider it a good sign he has yet to commit. 40.6% from three is on point too. I know others mentioned they expect to add a depth peice that could back up the 4 and also develop. He has a good looking shot and length. Showed the Mirk like one...

Well, if that happens we wont miss Blackwell and next season transfers, plus new high school recruits should be lined up to come in here to follow that path. Especailly if the guys all ready in the league continue to pop. Maybe give Davis or others something to talk about.

Play the kid a ton in the pre B10 schedule. It could realy pay off for Coleman and the Illini later. I wanted Blackwell too but in todays world of NIL moneyball roster consruction the staffs knack of being able to see potential in young players like Mirk, KJ, Will, and it appears again with...

My Dad who is a Professor Emeritus at U of I was in charge of the Dairy Barn at LSU as a grad student when one day he was called about a bull loose on the LSU campus. He had never had lassoed a bull but he grabbed a rope, lassoed the bull and tied it to a fire hydrant. He was late for class...

I wish Ty could have developed any type of mid range game at all, much less a 3 pt shot. He had every opportunity to do so and busted his !!! im sure! He is admired and loved for his work effort but He just never did develop a shot at all. It sucks! It wasnt due to lack of effort. We all wanted...

None of the three mentioned can replace what Ben did by themselves. We dont have that guy yet. If we add a Euro i would think that person may hopefully be able to check more of those boxes.

If Z gets hurt who over 6'8" n 245 is backing up T n Mirk? We dont have that...Hell, folks got on Ben last year and we dont have anyone after Z thats proven at all at the 4/5.

Z or tomi get hurt...then what?

Mirk is our less athletic Larry Bird. N he is! Skill.matters , especaiilly with bigs. N so does Lbs. . We need another post guy besides Z ofg the bench. N its not freaking our backup freshman guard! Stop.with that nonsense. If Z goes down then what? Mirk Morillo lol. !!!!! plz

Who do you think gets drafted higher one day or even next year Blackwell, Vaaks or Coleman? I question if any do next yr but my money is on our guys. Blackwell is an amazing college player but someone created space for him. He is an amazing colliegate player. If he was elite pro prospect...
