It was previously said on here that if Brad had his way the roster would be finalized by end of April. How we feeling on that timeline and why’s it taking longer?

So we gonna get anyone in the portal or nah?

mystery wing was supposed to enter the portal early last week according to insiders. what should we make of that?

St Johns thought they had this locked up. Exhibit A why our "mystery wing" isn't a lock to Illinois

We haven't reached out to Poplar according to the X

insiders are awfully quiet last few days. what happened to all the excitement around here?

He is at Nova for an OV right now. Illinois tomorrow

I believe he is at Nova today. Starts visit at ILL tomorrow

Yeah, understand what the connections are. But in terms of evidence of interest in coming to Illinois - so far there is none publicly available while he is showing interest in others by visiting other schools. Don't doubt that Antigua sent him a text, but need to see that the interest is mutual

sounds like we are not the leader for Humrichous barring a willingness to increase his NIL significantly

Sounds like Louisville is currently highest bidder for Humrichous, tbd if we are willing to go that high or not. If not, we will have to pivot yet again

Hamer and Brad worked together on defense all season long. Ultimately Brad is the one who calls the shots and this was the defensive scheme he wanted to play despite the poor performances he felt confident in the scheme

Doesn’t include losses of Domask Hawkins or Shannon though

So it’s been confirmed that the goal is to add David Jones (Shannon replacement), Humrichous, and a center TBD. If that’s the grand plan, am I alone in saying I don’t view this as some insanely amazing haul that people are making it out to be?

agree 100%
