Ty Rodgers 247 59 rsci 57 Lucas Morillo 247 47 rsci 47 Ty didn't put up numbers, but he played rotation minutes. Other top 50ish recruits the last 25 years played a similar or greater role as freshmen.. Kofi Cockburn was 247 46 rsci 43; Deron Williams was rsci 48; Andre Curbelo was 247 47...

My understanding for returning players is the student athlete can work with their program and choose whichever option is in their best interest. I could be wrong. It happens on rare occasions. Tomi was admitted as a sophomore and has played 2 seasons. Z has played 3 seasons. Under the old...

Illinois once had world class olympic track sprinter as a football wide receiver. He was a college teammate of Dick Butkus and also played 2 years in the NFL. Originally recruited to Illinois to play basketball, was also a sought after baseball prospect.

Other than Morillo, possibly Brown.

All good points. I am hoping Lucas Morillo is good enough we won't need Vaaks and Coleman to combine for 60+. Andrej and Jake together could be with Andrej at the 2. Or with one in / four out 'small ball'. Nobody knows exactly how the freshmen will fit in. I think we are asking the right...

Sure. "They" enhance and monetize the intrinsic entertainment value. To an extent, it's done with recreational sports too.

Here is the breakdown from last season. Kylan (30) and Keaton (33.9) combined for 63.9 mpg. Who played the other 16 guard minutes? Tomi (25.4) and Z (17.2) combined for 42.6. Jake (19.6) and Andrej (26.3) 45.9. Mirk (29.5) and Ben (22.5) 53. Note That rotation consisted of 4 bigs, 2...

Professional and major NCAA sports certainly exist as is for the entertainment value of the fans. Some other sports exist for the recreational value of the participants.

It's more than nearby. Kankakee, Bradley, and Bourbonnais are one contiguous tricity.

It appears DJ ran a 5:08 mile as an Illini freshman. That was the team high for that season. Bruce Weber was his coach at the time. Groce took over when Richardson was a senior.

How they are going to enforce this is already ambiguous, but that part sticks out like a sore thumb. Now they tell us that eligibility rulings will be arbitrary. I am sure the NCAA will live up to their reputation for fairness and consistency. /s Questions: *What does reinstate mean? Are...

Maybe make a vintage edition. Everything's fine, goodnight.

Bearing in mind position-less basketball, the current projected roster looks something like this: 1-2: Vaaks, Coleman, Morillo, and Brown. plus Fagbemi 3: Andrez, J Davis, and Zens 4/5: Mirk, Jakstys, L Davis 5: Tomi, Z That looks to me like pretty good guard and wing depth. I would be...

Just an aside, for those who recall the discussion, I found a source that verified Tal Brody's two-,handed set shots from 25 feet. The link.also has some interesting recruiting info from way back in the misty past https://247sports.com/college/illinois/article/through-the-trifocals-104092207/
