Question for insiders, we all know that Andrej is going to get feedback on his jump shot and that it needs to improve. Does that mean he is going to come back and just jack 3's next year? That would be the worst-case scenario, in my opinion.

Welcome back, Kylan Boswell

How do they get Jalen cox for a bench role but apparently we can’t?

That makes sense. I do think this team is being overhyped a bit. We’ll be a very good team and should comfortably be in the top 10, but thinking this group is a top‑five team in the country feels unrealistic. At best, I see us around 8 or 9. It also feels like a lot of people have framed this...

Dame Sarr to Illinois is back?!

Indy Illini Fan does Florida still have money to get Milan? If they get him, then the season is a wrap, and they will be like Michigan and just roll through everyone.

Nope that is not what any one wants. I think what people are saying is we would just like one more role player like Justin Harmon. Someone who has played college basketball, has experience and is willing to get a good pay raise and have a bench role. I know some insiders compared Brandon Lee to...

This is not me, trying to start anything. But I am curious let’s say we have a UCONN situation where Coleman or Vaaks gets hurt this summer and is out for the year. Who takes their role right now? Then who is the back up in that role? That is what we are missing. I know insiders have said no an...

Nasir Anderson would be a huge get. That kid a player and huge difference maker.

If Blackwell goes to UCLA, they are going to be stacked. I would have them and Michigan ahead of us. I think we would be number 3 in big ten and for sure finish top 4 or 5

So has your crystal ball changed for Blackwell?

Yeah, I agree and hope we make it. But everyone thought Tomi would make a huge jump in year two and didn't, so what happens if Mirk and Andrej don't make the jumps or regress like Tomi did? Are we still going to make the Final Four?

I think what people are really trying to say is this: last year, Tomi looked like a shell of himself. He did improve as the season went on, but he was still stuck in a shooting slump. Big Z was flat‑out bad over the second half of the year. Andrej also struggled for most of the season—he didn’t...

Team will be good but definitely not final four good with out Blackwell

Just curious and I know this is a next years problem. But what is our plan for the front line after next year? Big T and Big Z gone and chance Mirk gone too. Going to have to pony up a lot of money for bigs too.
