Surely I’m not old enough that Kenneth Lampley is the son of Sean Lampley…

It's pretty fair to say this roster, as constructed, is an easy Top 10 team (prob Top 5). That in and of itself makes it a contender for the national title. The variables you're banking on for this to be a National Title Favorite: Vaaks makes the jump to an elite conference without issue...

Need a quality backup 4/5 for the inevitable referee screw job in the Natl Title Game that puts Tomi and Mirk in foul trouble before the 2nd TV break.

He is the type (no NBA career) that SHOULD be looking to see what other options there are. If someone is going to pay him substantially more than we are he needs to take it. No hard feelings. Get that bread while you can.

Not surprising. Winning makes everyone's price go up.

The Way Too Early Top 25 is something I always throw away but for some reason I am taking this one as gospel https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7177055/2026/04/06/mens-college-basketball-2026-early-top-25-rankings/

(I definitely didn't think the "Coleman committing" posted the other day was about him until 30 minutes ago. Definitely not)

I think we will be happy with his decision.

Think there is a very good sell to any high potential DL/DE that have dreams of playing in the NFL. Come in and be an immediate impact player on a high ceiling team vs going somewhere else and fighting for reps. With the defensive backfield as it is you could be the guy(s) who turns the defense...

that kid loves beating up on Atlanta.

Perfectly happy being the program that is great at cultivating relationships with HS talent, doesn't hit on much, but is able to get them when they transfer bc of the relationships built. Let the other schools develop them.

I love the Insiders but I also remember the Alex Legion preseason hype train. We will see how he is when the lights come on.

Kenpom has Illinois at preseason #6 in the country. https://bsky.app/profile/norlander.bsky.social/post/3m2yohrhwfc24
