It won’t be long before Curbelo forces BU to start him, shifting DMW to the bench
The full 20-21 schedule? August-ish if I'm not mistaken. But I think the B1G releases matchups around June. And UI trickles non-con opponents out throughout the Spring and Summer. So far, I think we have GCU, Arizona, and the emerald coast classic on deck, but I'm only 100% about the last one. Mizzou too.Hey question when or about when will the schedule for 20-21 be released?
We went with a starting five 15 years ago with guards that size, it worked out ok for us if I recall correctlyThat would leave us with 6-2 and 6-0 at guards against bigger opponents, this may not be optimal. Miller would be biggest of the three at 6-3?

If Tev sticks around and starts playing to his potential, what former player can we use as a good comparison that is similar in college careers?
The last player I can remember who took until their upperclassmen years to really start showing signs of life and then become an impact player who had high potential like this was Aaron Jordan...
May his Dad rest in peace
Have there been any practice reports about Hutcherson and Grandison?

I know you are simply stating you think Tev can do something for us in the future, but a comparision to AJ is grossly inaccurate in so many ways. Tev has a lot more to figure out imo than the game of basketball. I like the kid, he just needs to figure things out overall is what I see.
Curbelo will play 20+ minutes/game.With Trent being a senior next year I’m sure he’s going to play most of the game. Curbelo will play 10-12 min unless he’s absolutely amazing and Underwood has no choice but to give him playing time. Adam Miller will be given the “Ayo” treatment. His body is big ten ready. I’m sure Brad wants him to develop quickly. As for Coleman Hawkins, I’m an advocate for him getting redshirted he has late bloomer written all over. I don’t see how 2 summers with Fletch can hurt his development. I’m still curious what The Bossman can do for us but he looks to be enjoying his time here. I really hope Tevian can carve out a role for himself before the transfers are eligible.
Yeah, it's really apples to oranges. Felix is a strong, bulldog guy, whereas Curbelo is super quick with incredible handles. I love Feliz, he's been one of the top 5 JUCOs ever at Illinois. I just think Curbelo is that Auber-quick guard who is a great passer than can get into the gaps and cause havoc with defenses. Felix is more about scoring on his own.Feliz has saved our bacon in two consecutive games. His ability to get to the rim and finish, in crunch time, is going to be very, very difficult for a freshman.
True, but Wood has shown he'll start Freshman right from game 1 of the season if he feels they've earned it.
he was the last player we had whose career would have fit that mold.
Curbelo to
I hear Hutcherson has exhibited shades of Evan Turner crossed with Ray Allen whereas Grandison has added 45 lbs and looks like Cassius Winston in Semi Ojeleye's body.
