The point everyone is making is you had Goode starting. 0% chance that happens.
It’s possible Johnson starts. How quickly that happens depends on how he performs. But Goode isn’t starting.
0%. Neither Booth nor Maddox are transferring in to not start.
In addition, Dain left for a reason and that reason is his role was 100% not going to be extended, The staff has made it extremely clear they want a mobile 5 that can spread the floor.
The team of the following is an extremely good well balanced team that absolutely would expect to be top 25 and compete for a BT championship. Bottom of the BT is an absurd take.
Boswell
Maddox/DGL
Ty/Davis
White
Booth/Johnson
Plus the potential of adding/keeping:
Domask
Hawkins
Amani
Harris...
To over simplify it, Boswell is closer to a traditional point guard and Maddox is closer to a traditional shooting guard. I know this might not be exact but generally?
Bottom half of the B10 is 10th place or worse and you named 5 teams (which we would absolutely compete with). Bottom half of the B10 is a joke. We would be a LOCK for top half.
Illinois was never getting Boswell, Maddux, Storr and Booth even though many said we were. I posted numerous times it’s literally impossible. It’s not that things changed greatly. It’s that the expectations in this chat were unrealistic.
If Moretti stays he is likely 11th, 12th or 13th on the depth chart. I have no idea what his expectations or desires are. He might be good with that or he might not. But he’s not in the rotation next year if we bring in two players like Boswell and Maddox plus DGL and Harris.
