You make good points in the time/length of the sample size. However, that still doesn’t clearly define anything more than a smaller sample size. The findings of a longer sample size could be flawed more than small one. There is no clear or definitive qualifying measure other than being behind...

I still don’t see how there is a limit. Some teams want to make it a grind game and keep possessions and shots low and others want to run and get shots up within a certain time on the shot clock. If they’re made baskets that’s a different story. Then there are other aspects to the sport, like...

Not that I disagree with some of this, but, if we apply this to last year at this time most would have been absolutely incorrect. The over all consensus of the board is that Tomi would be great and better than he was in 2024. Stoj would be killing it, and nobody thought KW would be our leading...

I’m not so sure how it will swallow the Ohio State and Texas of the world. It’s about TV rights and eats and they move the needle with their followings. The conference revenue earnings being reported aren’t from TV deals. Those types of schools are being watched every weekend by millions and not...

I’d simply ask for a 3 and D guy. We don’t have any of those and the way this offense is designed I’m surprised at that. We don’t have seriously good 3-point shooters percentage wise (Vaaks might be that) and we don’t have seriously good wing top of the key defenders. We surely don’t have anyone...

So, you’re telling me Mirk won’t be our back up PG and Morillo isn’t the next Dennis Rodman or Ron Artest who can guard the 4 bc he is 6’7?

The only unplayable players were Jaksyts and Ty. The staff didn’t develop other players who they recruited to the point where they felt comfortable playing the style they want to play and there is no change of pace or style to fit those player’s strengths.

I don’t think it’s too much to let people take a bit to process and wind down. It was preached here about Blackwell and Illinois from the moment he enters the portal…actually before he officially entered. The line up covos, the money ain’t a thang convos, the inside confidence about trusting...

It was already out there. People were saying either Dre or Boswell not both even though we were hearing no pivot, donors saying pay Blackwell, and the confidence in the staff’s confidence.

Carey Bokth regressed here and then improved when leaving. To your latter point, he was probably misused.

And teams with whole new roster of transfers win national titles.

So did UConn (Stephon Castle) and Michigan got elite guard play down the stretch.

If he can be halfway good enough to payback Wisconsin for Michael Finley and Frank Kaminsky then I’ll be happy!

If there was a dislike button, I should definite get one for thus, but we did just see Michigan do it successfully.

His mom went to UofI with my mom and her cousins, which is why he was born in Champaign. Good family friends.
