Vitto Brown was a Wisky Senior
On the other hand, they played a very weak schedule and lost to a bad Illinois team twice.
We will see if last year was a fluke or whether they are legit.
Yeah, my mistake. I meant Isiah Brown
Not saying they are going to win the B1G, but their home loss to the Illini was without Lindsey, and he was just back from injury and didn't play well in their loss to us at SFC. I still think they finish 7th or better in the B1G.
Other than @Wisconsin, which games?

He may be referring to this game as well, although I am not sure you would definitively say NU should not have won: Northwestern shocks Michigan on wild final play http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/game?gameId=400915060

efinately taller than coach!
I want Kameron Rooks badly. He is a true big man which we desperatly need for THIS Year! He averages 10 RB's per 40 minutes of play and brings experience and maturity. We have alot of recruits in the works for 2018 and beyond, but we have a gap to fill now. He's the perfect answer to give us one year while we work on getting the new program built. We need to start getting hyped up about this kid so he starts hearing Illini Nation calling!

As has been stated before, Rooks has limited mobility after undergoing surgery on his left knee. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I did not realize that he is also the son of former Arizona Wildcat Sean Rooks.
Lot of "ifs" in there.
They didn't play Vandy.
You haven't explained why they "shouldn't have won" those games. They were clearly better than Ohio St. They beat IU by 13 points at home. The others were close games against better teams, but they also lost some close ones vs Butler, Notre Dame, Minny, @ IU and Purdue.
They weren't some kind of fluke team. As mentioned, they lost Lindsey for a while and had a couple other players out for the season.
Getting way off topic for the transfer thread, anyway.
Gentlemen's bet that we finish no lower then seventh in the conference this year. I think new coach, fresh ideas and some young guns with heart will give us the one or two decisive games that we seem to always lose under JG.

10 rebounds per 40 minutes over the course of 5 games... pass:hand:
Kameron Rooks
He has gone through "gruelling" physical therapy and has worked beyond 100% as it was stated to get his game back in honor of his father. The last 11 games he played he shot over 60% and averagesd 8 RB'S. That kind of heart and determination is admirable. Kameron would be an asset to the Illini in every way!

Whoa, my bad.
If we are going to run up and down the court, he will have to stay on the D end and we play 4 on 5 on offence. I watched some video of him even back to high school, he is the only 7footer I have never seen dunk in a highlight tape

BOOM! Feed my ego.
By losing to Vandy in the first round of the tournament... they wouldn't have made the tournament? :suspicious:
Out of curiosity, anyone have names of any JC players over ,6'6"that might be ready for us ? Really looking for any possibility, never know. Be another long weekend of waiting.
Most likely going to have to wait another week or 2. Once school is out, names will emerge.
Just looked at a juco listing top 100. Alot of names open and alot taken. Orlando has an invitational on May 20. Jucorecruiting.com if anyone interested.

I would put Paris Lee in that best player category.
Besides being the best player at ISU, Paris Lee is also one of the fine young men that every program would like to have. I was quite pleased to see one of my former students do so well.
Kameron Rooks
I hear what you're saying. I am not contending that he is going to play 40 minutes. His contribution would be to provide some quality minutes in the paint and provide MUCH NEEDED size and depth...if you want to see him dunk...ESPN clip of Cal vs Stanford Feb. 2016, he had double-double to help Cal take the win.
