I mean, how does he get the massive bag at St. John's of all places? And why isn't our bag way bigger than theirs? Or maybe it already is, but anyway the bottom line is Richmond is going there and he's not going here. That's a miss. I really hope we go all out for Demin. Anything less and we're...

Pitino must be the ultimate salesman. I mean, he is Rick Pitino after all but yeah to do it at St. John’s is really something

All in for Egor then. Do whatever it takes

Nico would be smart to come back. He’d still play backup minutes but his playmaking would really fit well with Boswell, Ben and Tomislav. He’d maximize his assist opportunities.

I’d be shocked if he isn’t. The guy put up 7/4/1 in a league with grown men and former nba players

Thanks for the more realistic update. Demin seemed too farfetched from the start

I think Tomislav is actually more proven in general. In his league there are a number of guys who have played in the nba at some point in their careers. He can also stretch the floor which is a major plus at any level

I liked Kaluma a lot when he was at Creighton. Thought he'd develop quickly into a lotto pick. Seems like the growth slowed down but I'd be happy if we took him. Still a lot of potential with him to be unlocked.

Doesn’t really clear anything up. Seems like a damage control tweet. It’s still going to really suck if he’s playing in college next year and he’s not an Illini.

I’m going to guess we have less than 1 percent chance at PJ Hall (what would be our connection to him?) and no chance at Toppin (other boards already saying that Texas Tech is luring him away). Who can we realistically get among these guys? Like 30 percent chance and better?

Lots of uncertainty with Hopkins coming off an ACL tear though.

So maybe I missed it but based on the guys the insiders have been posting I guess David Jones isn’t in the cards anymore?

Trilly says in his discord that Humrichous hasn’t decided yet and that he’s heard nothing about David Jones and entering the portal so far. So when is it time to panic?

Hopefully this overseas big is better than Zach Perrin

Whoever gets Newton gets the steal of the entire draft
