    Indy Illini Fan illini0440 I am too lazy to try and catch up on the last 20+ pages but have you heard any rumblings if the staff is going after Nelly Davis?

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    Lets just get ahead of this now... In my heart of hearts I do not think this carousel will impact Brad per se. Cannot believe he is not the right fit for UK. He's a fresh 60 and I'd imagine UK wants to go younger and someone who has been a high major recruiter and program builder (not that Brad...

    Have read that Maddox is better off the bounce and coming off screens. Obviously will help with shot making but will pull defenders in and get them out of rotation to open up shots for other guys. Hill not the greatest perimeter shooter but has shown the ability to get to the rim because he's a...

    Small piece I was reading on Davis was he guarded the 3,4,5... now in the B1G he wont be asked to guard most 4/5 (depending on match ups) but I agree he is essentially a better athlete version of Goode and will be one of the sneakier adds around the B1G. Should be an instant contribution if his...

    If we can land 2 to 3 of Storr, Maxime Raynaud, Vlad Goldin (curious if he will meet UM admission standards), Boswell (if/when he officially hits the portal), Marcus Hill we could be COOKIN' going into 24-25. Assuming we land Storr (with Ole Miss looming with a bag) and if we land Hill I would...

    I would figure the same. Looking at Jenkins on build alone (albiet from his tape on YouTube) Hes got a large frame but not exactly filled out yet. Considering the current depth of Gabe and Seth (Both tracked NFL guys if they continue doing what they have been doing) We still have Zeke and Alec...

    I think the funniest (saddest) part of that first Penn State game was that the entire team was hungover thinking PSU would be a nothing burger game. Heard the fellas were out celebrating a players bday and may have had a bit too much fun...

    Too many people (especially the idiots on twitter) are freaking out about this. By no means does he have to stat hes keeping his eligibility. I mean !!!! the kid could hire (an NBA approved) agent and still pull out of the draft and return to college retaining eligibility. It would almost be...

    Has nothing to do with him "bolting" again it seems similar to the Tyger situation. They have a future lottery pick who was playing back up minutes because him and Sanogo could not share the court at the same time. Sanogo gave all he could to Hurley and UConn. From all I have read they are just...

    Everything I heard about Epps not coming back was precisely along that line. Had nothing to do with not wanting him back... had everything to do with what his camp was expecting to see in return for NIL... they were not willing to meet it so Epps went a portalin'

    I do not disagree. Playing alongside Hunter would be an interesting fit but probably would not look much different from what it looked like next to Marcus Carr. Abmas is a much more gifter scorer and probably turns it over less... guess we'll have to see how it shakes out. I could definitely...
