Your bolded statement is exactly right, and your original statement is opinion only. There's nothing wrong with you loving AP more...but, that doesn't make him the "Best shooter in Illinois history." TSJ is also listed in the PDF previously, linked, and he played after the 3 pt distance was...

My/"your" list only refers to my opinion or sample of the official records posted on fightingillini.com. Like I said, AP is in the conversation, but not without-a-doubt the best shooter in Illinois history.

Alfonso Plummer is certainly in the conversation, but not the definitely the best in Illini history. See pages 166-168: https://fightingillini.com/documents/2025/11/5/2025-26_ILLINI_MBB_Record_Book.pdf I would give more of a nod toward players who played their entire career here: Cory Bradford...

To be fair to Adidas (even though I would be extremely unhappy if we signed with them), "redesigning" Nebraska football uniforms seems like an effort of futility that everyone but Nebraska knows is pointless. How much could they really do with red, white, and "traditional elements" that amounts...

The dives are a blight on the game, and they should be making a concerted effort to eliminate it. But, to say that increasing viewership overall is not a significant reason is totally overlooking the real reason any of these large sports organizations do anything -- 💰💰💰. And American viewership...

I enjoy watching high level soccer, especially the World Cup, despite the faking the occurs a large percentage of trips up and down the pitch. Maybe FIFA doesn't care (but they should) about USA viewership, but the overturned yellow card by VAR and yellow card instead given for the dive by...

Did the stuff he had to clean up prevent him from going elsewhere prior to this? I only vaguely recall him being discussed. What other programs were seriously interested?

I'm happy with BU going to the bank every year if the Final Four (and national championship) is going to be a stop along the way. 😁

Man, we have really slammed on the brakes this off season.... I guess the excitement could only last for so long.

I'll never claim to be the sharpest tack in the drawer, but this statement is baffling. I don't think Morillo was recruited or intended to be a Humrichous replacement. Other than Morillo being tall for a guard, their games are not really comparable.

I totally agree, but watching his video gives me Wagler vibes. A repeat Wagler would be catching lightning in a bottle. I would be extremely happy with serviceable contribution and ecstatic if he was a poor man's Keaton Wagler.

No. He had a decent stretch in, at most, the third quarter of the season. Otherwise, the large majority of his shots were ill-advised and appeared selfish. You are right, Mayer wasn't a good ball handler, which is a not a good reason to take bad shots. If he was looking to make the team better...

I could not disagree more with this assessment of Mayer. Regardless of whether he was playing his ideal position or not, he could have had far better shot selection. I don't think there has ever been more contested step back 3s attempted in the history of basketball. To be fair, there was no...
