Beating SEC Tennessee last year in Music City Bowl beating SEC South Carolina previous in the Citrus Bowl was two very nice wins IMO. plus beating the Wolverines couple years ago and USC last year...pretty two nice wins...

Glad he is gone....

Love the Duke game being scheduled. UConn, Duke, Michigan, that right there is very likely three games vs. pre-season top five ranked opponents. Add in Sparty (probably for sure top ten pre-season), what a great time to be a fan....just think if Brad pulled off a game vs the Gators. Too true it...

Yes and I think "Benji" Wilson would have ended up committing to Illinois with his "squad" from Simeon Nick Anderson...I know Indiana was in the mix and Mark Aquirre's school....RIP Ben Wilson...gone but never forgotten !

And more teams are going to struggle to guard Mirk, Dre, the Twin Towers as well...and it's not even close.....you have no faith on Coleman and his size and athletic blessings or Vaaks and Morillo's height and length....Dre is better defensively then you give him his credit for and can guard...

Awesome, thank you for the share ;)

"You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find, you get what you need" I truly believe next years Illinois team has everything they NEED to be to get what they WANT All about the finale Ranking come next April, would be nice if they get the #1 ranking...

Going to love it when Morillo comes in "shimmy-shakin" like Antoine Walker with this line up.....

EXACTLY!..... I love it ! ;)

I love our chances to be a favorite to cut the nets down next season with the team we currently "sport" and honestly think we have the players to honestly do so....with the exception of what Michigan brings back or will bring back in their front court remains to be seen...I've stated this and...

Awesome @LvilleILL1 , appreciate you and all insider's work and dedication....

This....100% .SAY IT LOUD AND PROUD....Agree to fullest....Awesome POTD!

As Illinois fan's we all want the possible best team on the court. IMHO there is not a better front court in the nation...period. With the new additions I'm pretty sure they will get things lined out and figured out with what Coach Underwood and staff have in mind. I'm no coach or insider and...
