    I think so too. He is 100/100 on what you can't "teach"--Highest BB IQ ever, 7' wingspan, great shooter and instinctive finisher, perfect emotional wiring.

    I saw that Mac Etienne has already reached a plea agreement in the latest point shaving scandal. I remember when he was a "hot" recruit that many of us was so important to the future of Illini Basketball, back in early Covid, like 2020-21. We allegedly had the inside track, until Blueblood...
