    I'm not an insider, but I think with this program Ty will have to prove it in practice every year, if not every game. No one is guarantied at start. With that said, Ty will start next year because he'll earn it. I also think he'll develop his shot.

    Illini Basketball

    I agree But, I'd go in this order of dislike for basket ball. 1) Indiana 2) Iowa 3) Michigan ..... then Ohio State in all sports.

    TSJ Thread

    I hate all this happened to TSJ, but I am happy with the way he and the U of I dealt with the situation. It ain't over and media can't ever take away damage done. I am just glad this came out prior to the NBA draft. Maybe it will help teams understand the character of TSJ, and help him get paid...

    Remember the good ol' days You knew who was back and how many years each player had left. Then you could do a little research on the incoming class and how they could fill the voids.

    Let's remember we just had an elite 8 team made mostly from transfers. Man it was a blast to watch. I do trust BU and staff and expect great things again. With that said, Indy - who do you expect will be our 5? I will miss Dain & Colman, and don't see who can fill those "big" shoes. Any...

    Hope he does well, but I never liked seeing him check in the game. IMO, not a power 5 player.

    Honestly, I trust the program and the staff (insiders). But as a 50+ year fan and somewhat of a smart guy, I just worry more about the 5. We have the players to be an upper tier B10 team, and the coaching staff to maximize potential. If Dain would have stayed, I could have enjoyed the off...

    We will absolutely put a great team on the floor. We've had some leave, .... and we have had some commit! We are up a little as of tonight, as far as talent. I know 12 out of 14 teams last year wish they had what we have. There is a bunch paying $$ to be like us, but they aren't. It ain't...

    The point of this was to show that we will still have the talent that we had with our Portal departures. It will be tough for them to gel together like last years team. It has to be tough to find new EDG, and IMO we must be somewhat of a tough program to play for . Which makes it really good...

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    Well OA got poached by Kentucky (a true blue blood top 5 school). Kentucky disappoints in the post season (still a top 5 program), and Coach Cal leaves. We get OA back, maybe we aren't a blue blood. But, the writing is on the wall our Illini is a team to that will be in a top 10-20 for the...
