Smart signing by Louisville. Need some defense and ball handling. This is not rotisserie basketball.

Scorer but high usage 13 shots per game to score 16 ppg. Shows you what a freak TSJ was averaging 23 ppg on 14 shots per game. Marcus used 13 shots per game for 16 ppg.

Knocks on Isiah - does not have elite speed, fumbled too much as punt returner, small size means he will be pummelled if he is forced to only run crossing routes.

It was a great team. Derek Holcomb, Eddie Johnson, Mark Smith, Rob Judson, and Steve Lanter. Off the bench Neil Bresnahan and Levi Cobb. We were 16-0 after beating Magic/MSU Spartans on Thursday night and would have been #1 if we had not been upset by Ohio State on Saturday. Lou had brought...

I have to say the transfer portal has made April/May a very exciting time. Maybe even more so than during HS signing day. I am a little sad players are not staying 4 years at one school , but very happy they are finally getting their piece of the pie. Brad has signed 2 P5 starters - Boswell...

Great list of portal entrants and who has committed where. who is still available. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/longformarticle/transfer-portal-player-rankings-30-oumar-ballo-javon-small-mark-mitchell-headline-updated-top-100-230574804/#2408392

Bring back pay phones, Only 3 networks 1 national game of the week, my 20" black and white TV set, and getting all my Illini news from Loren Tate's News Gazette column 😁

Brad got smart this season and put Ty/Dain behind basket so they would not clog up lane when Marcus was doing booty ball or TSJ was driving the lane. We stopped trying to post Dain in the low post.

Plus give him a few months with Orlando and his footwork will look like Hakeem the dream! Of course he blocks shots like Motombo

I would take Marcus back over any transfer. He gives us 18 ppg 5 rbg 4 apg and the booty ball half court cheat code. Whatever we paid TSJ last year or offered AJ Storr it would be worth it to pay Marcus.

Because his is VERY BIG and averaged 3 blocks per game. That is definition of rim protector.

This showed lack of confidence in EDG's. Then again the Final Four shirt would have been premature.

OK OA. You make the big bucks. Time to do your recruiting "magic". I would like Kofi#2 and Cuebelo #2.

We need more shooters/bodies. Right now we have Boswell 39%,38% from 3. Davis 39%. DGL, Moretti. JMO Schutt is worth a flyer. We have plenty of open slots. Schutt only played 1 year due to injury.
