    Less of an indictment on Jake and more on what I think Lucas will be. I think there will be games that Jake is huge for Illinois and he plays 20+ minutes in a lot of big games.

    This feels about right, I would probably have Morillo over Jake though. Jake will still play a huge role and is great at what he does.

    I think they will be good but a big step down from last year. Still have a ton of talent. USC probably has a better roster than Michigan State but I trust Izzo way more than Muss. As far as Purdue goes, I could see them being good, but not a fan of the roster. Painter is a world class coach...

    Guys start to arrive or come back this week. Going to be a really fun summer and this has a chance to be an all time great season.
