    I agree, I've thought about that. But, it would pretty much be the same case if a transfer guard were to come in instead too right (and Boswell stayed as '23)? I feel for Podz, he's gotten no PT whatsoever this season and he still is my favorite of the 3 freshmen.

    Shooting won't exactly be a problem next year with Podz, Goode, RJ, and Epps all being incredible shooters.

    If he reclassifies, I'm assuming we won't be going after a transfer guard? Our backcourt will then be Curbelo, Podz, Boswell, Epps, and Harris which sounds like very few minutes to go around for a lot of quality players...

    I heard Boswell was talking to Deon before the game as well, I love how involved our former players are.

    I'd argue he projects a lot better. DMW is basically non-existent on offense but Rodgers gets triple-double after triple-double in HS.

Half his family went here and the majority are Illini Fans. His grandfather literally played for the football team here. We started this game to...

    He did say that during an interview. Also I'm not sure we should even be going after 3 star Diongue given how many big men we have.

    I understand that but I'm not referring to this small clip. I feel as if almost if not all highlights and clips on Youtube or wherever of Boswell are shots. I just haven't seen much of his handles. The fact that the vast majority of his highlights are shots and not handling/dribbling ability...

    This is one of the reasons I prefer Ames. The vast majority of Boswell's highlights are just shots which granted is great and all but a 5 star pg has got to have handles to show for.

    Am I weird for preferring Ames over Boswell?
