    Brady has to be the #1 target. Hope we see that commitment sometime later this year as he re-classes to 2027. Brady, Kitt, Martin paired with our expected big transfer portal splashes sowing seeds for yet another solid reload in 27-28.

    Him and Cole need to be locked down for 2028. Wonder if Brady reclasses.

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    Amen. Imagine we’re in a Sweet 16 game tied going into the under 12 timeout in the 2nd half. You can bet your bottom dollar that our starting 5 will plan every possible minute from there to the end of the game. It’s possible BU subs out Tomi on a taken timeout at the 14min mark to give him...

    Quentin Coleman on the USA U18 National Team

    - Makes 3s - Rebounds - Gets out in transition We slowed down our tempo as Wagler became the focal point and initiator. I’m excited to see Co-lay-maan (as the FIBA announcers love to call him) grab a rebound and get out in transition!

    Needs to work on finishing with left hand. That’s way too obvious a scout.

    Haha, I casually engage in some recency-biased, loose vocab during offseason doldrums. Michigan 2026 was an extremely good team. They played down to competition because that's how cocky they were. Trying random !!!! like Morez pulling up for a 3 against us. Arizona was insanely strong team...

    Yaxel/Mara/Morez were so good they made other insane frontcourts like Peat/Krivas/Kharchenkov/Awaka and Haugh/Condon/Chinyelu look pedestrian. Obviously Michigan 2026 grinds my gears. But that team, like 2024 UConn and Brunson’s Nova teams, was generational.

    Not our typical positional size play.

    Awesome. Ready made Jake Davis replacement. Love it. I’m also excited about Pettigrew and Kelly. But one thing you notice about UConn 2024, Michigan/Zona 2026, and Florida 2027 is the FRONTCOURT. I hope we can find a Clingan, Mara, Condon, Krivas type mountain of a low post player! Any...

    NBA Draft

    Yeah it’s a worthy investment to be into other sports or hobbies vs. Illini basketball exclusively which only runs for 4ish months of the year (barring a Final Four run). I grew up in Chamabana. Went to Uni High during the 2001-2006 glory years. So I get it. But it’s been good to not make...
