    Same! Also, how awesome would Keaton be on the Pistons?!? I know there's no way we could trade up that far, but he's exactly what we need, and I'd buy that jersey sooooo fast!

    Quentin Coleman on the USA U18 National Team

    QC with a really good possession on final play of 1Q. Made extra pass to get teammate open 3 (he missed), then got the offensive board and put it in at the buzzer. The kid gives high level effort.

    You're probably right. I guess I assumed that was Geoff, but sounds like I'm mistaken.

    I love OA for all that he's done for the program and the kids he's brought in over the years, but over the more recent past it seems like he's been less and less involved/effective on the recruiting side. We all know that Hamer is the #1 AC recruiter in the nation (/s), but what has OA done for...

    https://247sports.com/player/nasir-anderson-46148955/ This guy was mentioned as an option as well...although I have to believe there will be A LOT of competition for his services.

    https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/48893787/nba-free-agency-2026-contract-projections-austin-reaves-jalen-duren Ayo is #1 on the list. $15M is not nothing, but I thought his market value was projected to be higher than that? That said, I do not understand all the inner-workings of the NBA...

    Just looking from a very high level on these financials shared and assuming I'm understanding this correctly, B1G revenue is $360 M greater than SEC's, but the per team distributions is only $6 M higher per team? For clean numbers assume we split 360/18 - that's $20M. I know there are costs...

    I'd say making the S16 is "remotely noteworthy." Also, if you told me that we'd have 5-1 odds of making the NC game and 10-1 odds of winning a natty In May before the season starts I'd take that, and I think the other 9 teams on the list likely would too.

    Illini Basketball 2026-2027

    Agree. Also, let's recall he got here late. I remember all the times BU bemoaned the fact that he didn't have time to make Andrej learn how to defend and work hard. Well, he'll have that this year. If he improves his 3pt shot so that it's approaching 30% and becomes close to a lock down...

    Basketball is officially worse than soccer as it relates to flopping. Soccer may still surpass basketball in feigning injuries...maybe. I like what Silver did w/the 3-2-1 plan to disincentivize tanking. He needs to do something similar and up the focus on calling the flopping fouls.

    agree - 100% weak sauce. Also, "our bottom is harder than theirs." C'mon, this is a family friendly website.

    I love Tipton's thoughtful and insightful nodding and mmmhmms in the video lol. Snarky comment aside, I think he's going to be VERY good.
