    Why are our Illini not talking with Jalen Cox from Colgate as PG? I'd take an experienced PG and a decent backup 4 over any big splash, which the returnees have just provided!

    Yep, I have vibing for a while now that Will returns! I also feel that KJ goes lower in the draft, too.

    TBH, I am more excited about Jamir Watkins, overall, but not sure where he places in the draft! "Whatever happens will be" All I Want

    Assuming the best-case scenario manifests, doesn't it make sense that underclassmen like Dain & Ty get strong consideration to start, in order to prevent the others from thinking of the portal, later on? (They all need some PT) I hope RayJ jumps onboard, but I also love Yuri Collins' game!

    Nailed it, dainjazoner! Yuri is smooth and a born distributor! If you have to talk someone into being here, they don't really want to be here! Conversely, if RayJ decides to jump onboard, terrific, and I will be an avid supporter as an Illini alum here in L.A. Yuri is a skilled playmaker...
