Coaching Carousel thread is dead so here’s some nice news about The Reverend (learn how to spell his name, Rothstein)

Haven't been following the recruiting threads the last couple weeks since the Blackwell news, is the team going to add another vet from the portal/Europe or is the staff good with the roster?

A veteran guard is available! ;)

While I think we’ll still be very good without Blackwell, I’m in the camp that you can never have too much depth. Michigan’s “We have 9 starters” slogan this past year was corny but outside of looking mortal in the Big Ten tournament, losing LJ Cason didn’t hurt them at all because of how deep...

The sequence that summed up the Matthew Mayer experience was during the game at Purdue. Illini battling from behind all game and they have the ball with Coleman Hawkins dribbling the ball. Mayer keeps calling for the ball but Coleman keeps waving him off. As was common that year nobody else was...

I trust the insiders here more than the conjectures of random Joe Schmoes on Twitter ;)

I believe if we had Ty this past year, we don’t lose every single close game we do this past year. Would have provided, rebounding, athleticism, and defense to a team that needed all 3 at times this past year. Go be great, young man.

North Carolina likes former pro coaches now, I guess. With the way the college game is today the transition may not be as rough as it would have been 5 years ago. Only college experience for Malone was as an assistant for Oakland and Providence in the 90s.

I didn't follow much outside the fact that he was joining the team this year when Bilic committed, but why would he leave? I thought the point of him sitting was for "strength training and development." Why bring him over if the staff didn't think he had a shot at the rotation next year, Final...

If Illinois can’t break the drought I don’t want scUM to even have a chance at it. Go Arizona.

Thing is with dynasties, they seem to get all the lucky bounces.

Don't know if this has been shared yet in this thread but bodes well for us

Will forever love Trent Frazier for sticking with Illinois after the coach he committed to was fired.

Does Braden Smith have an overly dramatic ankle injury every game?

Don't they usually give the highest seed the first game?
