He tweaked his back during a workout. Nothing major but spent some time on the sidelines. Problem was it was in the thick of the practices teaching scheme and different sets. I wouldn't be surprised if mid season everything clicks and he's a top 5 player. (Behind dre, mirc, colemen, vaaks) His...

Morillo has been hurt - honestly all it is. Dude can play and would start this year for a bunch of teams in conference not named Illinois. We are blessed with depth this year...it's kind of scary. Probably our most talented/deep team since the 80s.

Hearing that Vaaks isn't where we need him to be a PG in our offense. He doesn't see the right read yet and passing is a concern. Also not aggressive enough on drives so guys play up in his face which has rattled him. Lots of time to correct, but if the season started today, he would not be...

For the next 6-8 weeks he will be in a boot then it will come off...and he can start low impact. Staff will ease him back in and we will see how his conditioning is at that point. The game I am circling is the UConn game December 4th.

I heard 3 months and back during conference play...but who knows at this point. Gotta love our preseason luck...

They actually don't have current backups, but I am sure they could find some. They are confident he is coming back.

Tidbit from a scout I know. The shooting drills are less about makes and misses and whether you make 11/25 vs 13/25. The drills are meant to show your mental toughness, shooting form and cadence. He said people that miss a ton in a row means they are succumbing to pressure. The guys that rush...

Just to be clear - Terrance had a 37.5 max vert at the combine...Dre is 4 inches above him. Incredibly impressive. People are taking note. His shooting though....

Dra got a real nice bag in the deal - happy as hell for the kid. He gave it his all while here and I'll never forget that.

Staff is really excited about immediate minutes for coleman and morillo fyi

I think Pope has gotten weirder - if that's even possible

I will be blown away unless something drastic happens if Ty and Jake aren't here next year. We have told them we want them and given them NIL numbers which were received well. Then again...I thought Tre White would have been on last year's team based on the coaches conversations so take it with...

Marketing image is going to be elite - can't wait for it to drop.

Can't give this comment enough likes...easy preseason #1 with Blackwell.
