After watching Brad fail to play shooters with him in the tournament, don't blame him if his choice is to transfer

Might be alone on this but Bates would look awesome next to Kofi

Goode and Plummer are completely different players. Plummer can actually get himself open. Not that Goode wont be an important player down the line but the Plummer comparison isn't a good one

Always an illini, best of luck Andre. Had some amazing moments his freshman year.

It was probably the concussion but i also wonder if teams just learned how to guard Belo this year. Teams clearly were daring him to score and limit his passing

When i heard rumors yesterday about an Illini returning I was hoping it would be Grandison :/ but if its Belo hopefully he gets what he needs to get figured out

Unless one of them learn how to shoot, Belo + Coleman with Kofi is going to continue to be a disaster vs good teams. Houston didn't guard either of them on purpose. Healthy Belo is atleast a threat off the dribble though. If he comes back I really hope those 2 minutes are staggered

Only freshman who really deserved to play more minutes was RJ. If were being honest Podz looked like a borderline walk on early in the season. He got better as the year went on but the freshmen guards look better.

Grateful for the assistants but that list is heavily decided by volume

any truth to this?

Big 10 race might literally come down to who gets TSJ

As long as Kofi comes back i dont see the need for another vet big. Hawkins is a fine 3rd string C

Insiders get a lot of crap when they get something wrong, lets give them their credit when they come through

Fletch is such an asset
