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?

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.

Really not sure how they don't go 17-0 with that schedule. Maybe 1 loss.

Yep. Just meant football. That Morton team had J.R. Koch, Derek Grimm and another 6'7" guy with a last name of Litwiller. Watched them play in a regional final against Acie Earl and Moline back in the day. Great game.

Sorry. I meant football. I used to shoot hoops with Kevin Bontemps when I was about 10. His family lived next door to my grandparents.

I cannot say for certain but he might be the 1st Morton Potter to get a D1 scholarship at a P5 school.

Watched his highlights the other day and I thought, "wow, he reminds me of Keaton." Except he can dunk. If he plays at all anywhere near as good as Keaton did this year, watch out.

I opened up the board today to see any recruiting news and realized I accidentally ended up on a Duke board. Gross.

I cannot comprehend the Duke love. They have lots of 5 stars but I was not impressed with anyone other than Boozer, who is now gone. I think they are overrated.

I realize we don't have unlimited funds but this might be the best chance for a national championship outside of 1989 and 2005. Throw the kitchen sink at Blackwell. Pony up. These chances clearly don't come around often.

Hey Indy. I can appreciate that the staff is really high on Coleman but if you told me I could have a 21 year old that averaged 19 last year in the B1G and lit us up for 31 towards the end of the year or a true freshman I will take Blackwell all day long. I hope you are right and we get Blackwell!

As an Illini/Bama fan this hurts on 2 levels.
