First of all, I should have have clarified that no Illinois PG’s do that. Secondly, that is not a double pump dunk :)

Finally some evidence to squash the debate. Point guards to not throw down double pump dunks. Now we are screwed with no point guard.

At the risk of being Debbie Downer, I just don’t get too hyped about commitments these days. It has gotten to the point that it seems akin to “I’m leaning toward going to” said school rather than true commitment. More so in football than in other sports.

Totally forgot that. I guess I meant more the current version of BU because I feel he has reinvented himself to some degree during his time here. Wish Leron would have stayed!

Leron and Meyers would have thrived with this coaching staff and this system

Lucas Johnson was also a beloved Illini player and they have very comparable contributions statistically. I would argue that any disappointment with Ty is more a result of higher expectations and injury than with contributions. I will be rooting hard for him.

I am beyond thrilled about next year’s team, both in our returnees and our incoming freshmen class. Make no mistake though, there are going to be new guys running the offense and to expect anyone to be KW will be setting ourselves up for disappointment. I am excited to see how this group comes...

I think the sophomore version of Brandon Lee is absolutely playable. For that matter, I thought the freshman version was too.

Must have had his fingers crossed behind his back when he “committed.”

He was a 4-star, top 100 6’4” SG coming out of high school that showed promise in limited action. I really hope he sticks.

As long as you are not itching after your boom

Going to be hard to run the ball against us but I suspect traveling may be called frequently if they do.

I don’t think Drej’s impact this year would have been any greater had he started. You could argue that it could have diminished his impact. NBA scouts don’t care who starts. How many reserve players from blue blood programs get drafted? Guys want an opportunity for PT and impact. I’m just...

Huh? We have clawed back in by going inside.

There is nobody, I mean nobody, I would rather see us beat than Dbag Dan. To call him pompous would be the kindest of terms.
