Knowing him, he's gonna give us all a heart attack by saying, "Well, first off I just wanna thank my family, my coaches, my teammates, and the fans at Illinois for supporting me from day 1 of me becoming an Illini. My time in Champaign was incredible and I have memories that I will cherish for...

That's true, but I'm more talking about individual player development as opposed to team wins and losses.

Gotta be honest, even though the Bulls are absolute butt right now, I'd still rather he go there than to the team where careers go to die...

Was already one of my favorite Cubs and I think he may have just graduated to THE favorite Cub of mine from this year's team! 😁

Jeez. The NCAA right now:

"I want to play on a National Championship-caliber team." Keywords being "want to play." So he goes to Duke, where he won't even start if Evans comes back?!?! Kid is full of 💩 and idk, I'm kinda feeling like we might have actually dodged a bullet with him not coming here. A "me, me, me" guy like...

Damn. On one hand, it REALLY sucks because you know he loved/loves Illinois and took 2 redshirt years and stayed here and you hate to see someone that loves the program not get the chance to shine as much as he could've because of unfortunate injuries. On the other hand, the silver lining is...

Remember when college players played because they loved the game and the school? Yeah, miss those days...

What are the chances of this gif also applying to Blackwell soon as things stand right now? 🙏
