Jakstys 6'10' 220 is significantly stronger than Lieb so he can help out of somebody is beating up Tomas or Big Z in the paint and David is in foul trouble. Landon Davis is 6'9" 220 lbs but does not look as strong. in 2027 we run the risk of Tomas, Big Z graduating and David to NBA...

59th of 71 in the 3/4 court sprint at NBA combine Its a high bar. He is a good athlete but not freak. TSJ was ranked 1 in 3/4 court sprint at combine https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/terrence-shannon-nba-draft/

Happy to get the skill players. We still need big bodies for the trenches.

JMO 1. kids should be able to move schools annually. No other sports besides football and basketball forced you to sit out. 2. schools are making big money for sports. kids should get a share. 3. college athletics has become a job. colleges should treat it like one and structure $NIL payments...

Are the girls on campus working out? How is Dolan's knee? How does Manuela look? How does Trinity look.

I think our half court slow pace worked well. However if somebody is slow getting back we should push the pace if we can get an easy layup. We passed on these opportunities last year. If there is no advantage no need to push the pace (Andrej this means not going 1 on 2 just because the defense...

Fun to watch all 5 games. Youtube streaming is free and better than nothing. I loved Koleeeeeman

JJ is a 5. He has good size and strength. There may be a game where David gets into foul trouble. Tomas and big Z are not strong enough. I hope JJ develops at least into George Montgomery level defender rebounder. Better if he develops a drop step like Dain, We don't make elite 8 without Dain.

Hmmm - living in SoCal I might have to go see them play vs UCLA or USC UCLA defending national Champs USC bringing JuJu Watkins back I am hoping 1. Divine can help immediately as top 15 HS AA at 5'11" 2. Manuela can be a serviceable 5 and let Cearah play 4 3. Gretchen has full recovery from...

Kids see the Keaton Wagler story and say Illinois lets the best players play regardless of age. They believe in themselves and give it a shot. World class training. Practice against future NBA players every day. National television, marquee neutral site games like United Center and MSG. If it...

Good news is our guards are BIG I think Vaaks and Coleman are CG, Morillo is a PG and Brown is a SG Vaaks SOP, Coleman FR , Morillo FR Brown FR We are young.

FIBA feed is bad. But it is better than nothing. Wish we could see our other freshman playing Morillo - saw during Nike Hoops summit Zens - n/a Brown - n/a Davis - n/a Highlight videos can make anybody look good

KAT is immensely talented but does not like to mix it up in the paint. Randle much less talented but a bull in the paint. The twin towers with Rudy Gobert resulted in 2022-3 first round loss and 2023-4 loss to Dallas in conference finals. KAT played terrible in the series. The KAT max...
