With Dayo, Jarrett and Shemar Turner all coming back (**hopefully healthy**) this year, drafting a bunch of defensive pieces didn't really make a whole lot of sense, considering the cap situation. Kmet's contract was restructured, he's not going anywhere until after this upcoming season...

Cantaloupe or Honey Dew if I’m feeling fruity with my small curd 4%…

20 pages today, 2 weeks after the end of the season, on little to no new news?? Noice. Never change, Illini Nation <3 "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience." - Mark Twain. Lotsa rageba(i)ting going on 'round these parts...

If the money is literally there for him and he (or people in his camp) balk at the opportunity to get on board this train, I’ll shed no tears… 10 toes in, or see ya 👋 Nothing against him as a player or a person. He’s looking out for himself (as he should) and if that is a priority for him over...

Yeah... Hell yeah :cool::chief:

Wish I had a Time Machine and could bring in young Giorgi as the freshman backup stretch 4 for this upcoming season… Right after I drop off a flash drive loaded with about 1000 BTC to myself in 2009 and then to Macomb, circa 2001, and warn myself off of any women named “Erin.” 😏 But seriously...

Nothing to hang heads about. This is why we do it. Total trust in Brad and the staff to maintain this momentum and next year, it’s a “we belong here” vs “holy sh!t, we’re here” kind of feeling. We Will Be Back. WE. WILL. WIN. :chief: :hailtotheorange::illinois:

I’m crying and on the verge of puking 😂 really hope the boys are handling this better than I… It all comes down to rebounding and making shots. Match our season averages in both, I love our chances :chief:

Couldn’t muster a post last night… too much emotion, excitement and relief. Spent my morning reading every damn post in this thread. Love you all, Illini Nation!! 🧡💙 To everyone thinking about parents and loved ones no longer with us that you wish you could hug right now, this is why we put so...

I was a bouncer at The Rancher Spirits & Billiards on the town square in Jackson WY. Couldn’t get anyone to switch shifts with me, so I begged my manager to let me cover the back door so I could post up and watch the game while I worked. Dejection to pure elation… Never had such a wild swing...

These boys belong. Now let’s keep the chip firmly placed on the shoulder and get it done Saturday night! Not gonna be able to sleep for at least a few hours, but I ain’t gonna feel tired at work in the morning :cool::chief:

Houston's about to Balk around and find out :hailtotheorange: I can feel it... shots fall, one after the other from the opening tip til the final buzzer... 40% on 35 attempts and we destroy them on the boards. All of the pundits will be saying "how can anyone beat these guys?" after tonight.

Lately he has been passing up more of his step-back 3 opportunities for more drives and getting zero calls with lots of contact in the lane/at the rim. Really hope he is feeling it and lets it rip from deep 8-10 times Thursday night.
