So I am a glass half empty person most of the time. Trying to change that up. My glass half full take is that if he misses a more significant length of time, Brad gets to play some freshman that otherwise would not have hardly sniffed the court and they get game experience and maybe end up...

I am pretty confident he will be better than Doncic and Q will be better than Wagler.

I don't follow football nearly as close as basketball. What is a realistic win total this year? Any chance they are as good as the last 2 years?

How awesome would it be to have that dude on this years team?!

Correct, but if you don't think Hurley's coaching got them to the point that a bonehead mistake by Scheyer would win UCONN the game, then I don't know what to tell you. Hurley can flat out coach.

Maybe I am confused. Are you saying Illinois would pay Andrej $6,000,000? I don't think so.

Man do I hope Indiana crashes and burns this year.

I don't follow football recruiting nearly as closely as basketball so someone explain this to me. How is Illinois last in recruiting after 2 of the best seasons in Illinois history back to back and what I had been told was a very sizeable NIL budget?

Strongly dislike seeing Duke, UCONN and Michigan State up there.

So, I realize this is simplistic but go back to the tanking drawing board of 2010-2013. Those awful years netted Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Ian Happ and Kyle Schwarber. Tear it down to build it back up. The White Sox have stunk for several years and now have some really good young talent. This...

Let me guess. Q is going be better than Wagler and Lucas Morillo is going to be a borderline starter. :illinois:

Without naming a name is it someone filling out the roster or someone that will actually get minutes?

The 9th man argument would be even more moot if we got Blackwell as had basically been said was a done deal. That one hurts no matter how you slice it.

Hoping teams get scared of Peterson and the Bulls end up with him.

And they will somehow not make a final four with that roster. Watch.
