Does anyone have any information on Jason Jakstys and Blake Fagbemi? Are they planning to return? Just curious.

Just throwing this out there after reading numerous pages here. I think the addition of Zavier Zens is a bigger deal than most are thinking. He seems like the type of player that will find a way to compete and win. Also, he appears to be very talented. I think he may make a difference and get...

Who's Trilly?

I hope that we can get back to a 10 man rotation against Missouri. I am really concerned about the trend toward relying on Keaton and Bam to play all the minutes for the 2 guard spots. I know it will work for some games but I don't think it is a good situation long term. Communicating to...

Is Matt Bailey healthy and able to play this week? I noticed he did not play in the 2nd half again against Purdue

How many teams advance?

Wow, this guy is built like a senior in college, rather than a junior in high school! :oops:

Both Owen Freeman and Brock Harding, from Moline, Illinois, have entered the transfer portal. I was surprised to read some speculation that Illinois might be a possible landing spot for each of them. As an Illini fan who lives in Moline that would be an awesome development. Do any of you who are...

It's been interesting for Illini fans in Moline the past couple of years since Owen Freeman and Brock Harding both played for Moline and led us to a state championship in 2023. I've had some success pulling for Owen and Brock at Iowa (though it is kind of weird) but still being an Illini fan to...

Is this an indication that getting both Anderson and Sutter is not looking like its going to happen? or an indication the staff would like to get 3 top notch Tight Ends in the 26' class? or a backup plan in case Anderson or Sutter don't commit?

Wondering if anyone else noticed this. I'm a fan of KJ so I'm not trying to place blame on him but I didn't understand why he didn't make an attempt to come and get the ball on the last inbounds play of regulation. I believe he came to get the ball each time before that. Was that by plan that he...

Returning the starting 5 is awesome. What you are saying here looks concerning for the 2 deep rotation if they are only planning to bring in one transfer and only have one other 2 deep player on the current roster. Are there others within the roster they feel are ready to play? OskieWowWow...

Questions regarding our plans for Offensive Line If I recall correctly the 5 returning starters are Davis, Henderson, Kruetz, Gesky, and Priestly. I believe that Whitenack, Wigenton and Crisler were all in the 2 deep rotation. Who else is returning that was in the 2 deep? Who among the younger...

Hope things work out great with bigs for next year but I for one think we missed it with Dain. In my opinion he was the most skilled big man on the court in most of the games he played in. He made an immediate impact often and was dominant at times. He has incredible post moves for his size. I...

Not sure where to post this. I haven't seen any responses on the board about the announcement that Terrance is on the 3rd Team All-American. While that is certainly a great achievement, I thought he would be a 1st Team All-American. Is that not consistent with what others were thinking? Also...
