I find this (new) take interesting...and increasingly widespread. We suddenly act like we don't have room for a top player, but it was not so secret that we were originally targeting Dre and Blackwell. But now, we just don't have room? What changed? Did Coleman say he wouldn't sign if we got...

If we are offering the money I have to imagine we are offering then I think the staff thinks we need one.

I always enjoy the persistent comments that too many "rich old" people get close seats and that's bad...and also the persistent comments that our student section stinks. So, I guess we need more of that? I really don't like the PA guy(or the guy walking around last night with a mic) having to...

I'm really interested(as we all probably are) how the rotation is going to shake out going into this game. I see... Starters: Petrovic - our only true PG Boswell - obvious Stojakovic - Not as obvious as I thought it would be Mirkovic - Needs to be a complementary piece, not a focal point. If...

I don't think "when its all said and done" is this year though, so we can't make lineup decisions on his potential. He obviously should be a huge part of the rotation, but I think you put the best players on the court.

To compare home visits that typical social workers make to going into a hostile situation with an armed and (possibly) mentally ill person is a giant leap. In fact...they are in no way comparable. If any school social worker showed up to a home and the parent had a bat swinging it around what do...

I think a lot of people are drastically overestimating how much a social worker would want to go into these situations, or better yet...how much their education provides them the ability to deal with an escalated violent mental health crisis...or even the qualifications or ability to diagnose...

That is a great point that isn't talked about much. The school has a built in fan base. Sure those seats aren't quite as full with a bad team but the devotion is literally based upon the name on the front of the jersey, not the ones on the back. Do you think we'd all be as excited to watch a...

Would you play basketball for the U of I for a free education only? I would have for sure(still would but I doubt they would want the liability of me playing now!). The point is players were getting a benefit. Was it enough? I don't know. It was good enough for countless kids looking for a...

Maybe some boosters "love it" but I question how many really do. I know a large booster very well. They hate NIL, they hate reseating, they hate everything about the current process. And this is person who has a company that has given millions over the years as well as other perks to the...

Possible, but having your 4 best players only usable at 2 positions does not make a good team. And my opinion differs greatly from NBA scouts apparently in who should stay in the draft, Yaxel or Wolf. I would hate to see any team I rooted for pick Wolf in the lottery. I will be shocked if he...

Wolf coming back would be a fun mess to see

I think I prefer Yaxel, Morez, and Mara on Michigan over Morez, Mara, and someone like Jamir Watkins. The first 3 require someone to be on the bench or playing way out of position. Replace Yaxel with a top wing makes way more positional sense for Michigan. And its not like Michigan is going to...

How does Coleman Hawkins not get an invite to this? He had a somewhat down year on a bad team but still showed his all around game. He seems like a guy who would be great for an NBA roster with his size and skill set. A lot of names on that list I would take him over

With Coward going to Duke where does that leave Sarr? Can't imagine he's looking to come off the bench for Duke. I'm assuming we don't get back involved, but might be interesting to see where some of these players go if they don't stay in the draft. There could be a team out there sitting on a...
