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.

Could make the point that DGL looked lost on offense at Illinois and lost don’t even begin to describe Carey Booth in an Illinois uniform.

But the majority of the high major basketball passed on Wagler with a 28.5% usage rate.

That’s given no returners “stagnate” like Tomi did from year 1 to year 2 and he can regain his 2025 season form or better.

It’s interesting how some on this board can’t make a positive statement for our players without being negative on others. Houston bigs may not have done well against us bc of the situation they were out in and they type of game they had to play. Sampson wasn’t just paying lip service. Our type...

Wait a minute, we’re using height and ability to jump as transitive properties to compare Ty and anybody else to All-Pro players and the best rebounder in the history of the NBA?
