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.

That would be very disappointing if we move to a ball dominant freshman from a 21 year old senior that is proven. That would stink.

Who is plan B if Blackwell takes the largest bag and we miss?

Alabama was reported to be $9 million and bumped Oats to $12 million this year to go with his contract extension.

Can Brad get 1 or 2 of him again in the portal for next year? I think about the only thing missing from this year's team. Stud athletes.

That is a brutal surgery as far as the recovery goes. My father-n-law had it. Had to lie face down for a week due to a gas bubble they put in your eye. After that so many restrictions for another 4-6 weeks.

Does his dad know Duke is not in the B1G?

I don't like Michigan and their NIL roster but I can't stand Hurley so the choice is easy.

I would like to see Z dunk all over UCONN's head the whole game long. Not a coach in the world I want to beat more than Hurley.
