    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    First, let's take everything with a grain of salt. Who knows what his actual weight was last year vs this year. Maybe last year he was 274. Maybe he's only 276 this year and they are rounding up. Also, if he can do 25 mins, I think we're good. 20 mins maybe a little too low, but 25 would...

    NBA Draft 2027

    I tend to think Big Z has a role in the NBA right now. I feel like someone else maybe mentioned this in the past, but with his height, athleticism, shot blocking, and shooting ability…I just think he has a role in an NBA with Wemby being who he is..

    Illini Football 2026

    I’m camping at Kickapoo state park… outside of Danville and Oakwood. My son told me that the Illini Offense were all here yesterday. We didn’t see them. :(

    Unfortunately…he wasn’t included in the trade. Finch just realized TJ needed the ball in his hands, and now they got a ball dominant PG. Likely no real role there for him.

    I mean, sure, but not really. It’s not hard to look through the box scores and say “man if he went 1-3 instead of 0-3 that game, and 2-3 that game..or whatever. It’s not hard to imagine hitting 5 threes more during the non-conference… 🤷‍♂️ Obviously, you can always say that about any player...

    Someone else said this a few weeks ago, but even just 5 more makes for Andrej from 3 would be over 30% just 25-82 puts him there. So he is a few makes away from being considered respectable.

    Can Jake and Andrej play on the wings together with Vaaks or Coleman? Absolutely. It’s college basketball and they are really good. Too much goes into comparing 2s and 3s, IMO. Last year we had times with Keaton, Ben, Mirk, Z, and Tomi in the game together. We be all right.

    I think the difference with those guys is the developed into a stud in their college career..over time.. Keaton was a stud his freshman year, which is to say he was a huge miss for literally every scout and coach.

    Unfortunately, he’s on a team with Ant, who also had to have the ball in his hands.

    Do you think it has worked since they expanded to 68? Or the CFP expansion? They team vying for the final spots will always have an argument for being better than that last team in..

    Boswell shot 39% and 38% from 3 at Arizona and his sophomore year was on pretty high volume (made 66 3s). Wonder what he shot percentage-wise in HS. Hard to project how well it translates.
