If Brad is serious about size, defense, age, and playmaking, this is a guy you go after

This would make me stop following CBB next season

Super good wing option if he enters the portal. Not sure how much we’ll need this position since Sarr+Sellers but one to keep an eye on if he does https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/5107312/lejuan-watts

From my understanding, he’s a much “bouncier” athlete. Another reason is he’s much newer to the game, only started at 15. Ton of room to grow as a player and he’s been rapidly improving

Morez got to play plenty of minutes as the only center. Flory was heavily limited stat wise by Dickinson in the paint. Watch the tape instead of the box score. Major downside is his foul trouble issue but that’s exactly the same as Morez or any physical big

This kid was essentially Morez at Kansas except better pro potential. Would be an upgrade from Morez and frankly one of the biggest gets in the portal by any team

Not even remotely true

Watching this MSU game and it’s hilarious that we want Brads head on a stake for not playing Morez more, and meanwhile Izzo went a whole season keeping Richardson on the bench when he was their best player by far

I agree, but Ben had a quite good start to the season outside of that game. He then went in a cold stretch after, (Morez wasn’t exactly putting up world beater stats at this point either), and then looked really good starting in the west coast stretch up to the MSU game. After that, Morez got...

Yes, and that was coming off quality games against Arkansas and Alabama. When returning to conference play after NW He went on a stretch in the B1G looking back to being good (Oregon, PSU, USC)

everyone in here freaking out over this but in reality, this was Adam Miller 2.0 where his family is delusional and gave him bad advice. Come back to this in 2 years and it will look the exact same

23.375 mpg after MSU in January. Would say that’s quite close to 25. The only reason it wasn’t higher is his own foul trouble. 4 fouls in 3 of those games

If any non shooting big comes to Illinois and proceeds to say they don’t want to end up like Kofi, they don’t belong on Illinois in the first place. It’s funny you complain about the 3s because Morez is leaving because he wants to shoot the ball as well 🤣

Do you think Kofi or Edey who were all Americans strictly from their work in the paint are a bad model to follow for development? Yes , Morez isn’t the same as either of those guys, but for him to say “he doesn’t want to end up like Kofi” rubs me the wrong way when in reality, he likely won’t...

According to Morez himself, he is leaving because he is “more than a rim runner and rebounder and wants to get more than just that” he also said he didn’t want to end up like Kofi. Essentially sounds like he think of himself much higher than anyone else does
