None of those guys besides Kamissoko have commited elsewhere. Wabbington is from Arizona. Arizona has been on him the earliest and the most given the in-state connection. He recently visited and didn't commit. That probably leaves some possibility for the Illini. I think that's an 70 Arizona /...

Lol. Worst possible start to the game.

Arizona looks worse without Burries, Peat and Awaka. I think Burries looked more impactful at the college level than Holt at SG. Peat was a phyiscal beast. Awaka was a demon on the defensive side of things and the dunker spot. I think Kharchenkov and Krivas is a good one-two punch. But they...

Love to see Dre keep that downhill energy and love the volleyball contest from Z. Pending Mirk status not the worst thing for us to play Tomi at the 4 given his skills. And have Z just protect the paint/rim and play out of the dunker spot on offense. Teams won't be able to sag off if Dre can...

Hope that's true with Pettigrew and Kelly too.

You sort of contradicted yourself there. If the money at SU wasn’t more why not go to a place with better coaching and chance to win while making the same money? Perhaps you’re indirectly making a point that SU may help better showcase him for the NBA draft?

Wonder how much NIL that took.

Prior to the injury insiders were saying he may be become Underwood’s best player. Sorry if I am misremembering. But it was along those lines.

Mirk*

I feel like if Mike puts up 18pts/8reb/4ast. We beat one of Duke or UConn. Win an outright B1G title going 17-3 or better. He’s confirmed 1st team AA and likely PoY frontrunner.

A more signature win in Ann Arbor is all I see.

For sure I was just trying to build a conservative case to temper hopes. Will make a potential eventual commitment that much sweeter.

PCA 40/40. Hell yeah.

https://armchairillini.com/jake-davis-gives-illinois-basketball-another-dangerous-3-point-shooter/ Davis shot 40.6 percent from three on 133 attempts last season, including 36-for-90 in Big Ten play.

That’s before we even talk about one of the best catch-and-shoot flamethrowers in the game who never turns the ball over. I’m with you. Domask and Wagler really ran our offense so well. KJ was highly turnover prone and took bad shots. Wagler was a savant. Vaaks likely follows more of a...
