I think the team went to another level when dain started playing more in big ten tourney and NCAA. I honestly thought it was small error not playing him more through out the year especially when we basically were never gonna be a plus defensive team. The guy can just score... Just don't dribble so much!

I thought it was a major misstep to not start Dain vs UCONN. Ty faded down the stretch whereas Dain was rising.

He is playing really well so far.

Would be interesting to add lost commitments to the former Illini thread.

Fears, Zz Clark, Butler, and Storr come to mind.

Butler and Storrs are playing, but I don't see ZZ Clark on the UCSB roster. Anyone know if he redshirted, or ...?

It’s crazy how little I (we?) have thought about Jeremiah Fears over the last few months. In years past we would be down about it for a long time. He’s a great player and yet we seem to be just fine.

Think about him or not, that was a massive loss. he's a great player and we didn't get any high-profile ball handler to sort of "replace" what he could've/would've been in '25

And if we took him in 24, I bet DGL would have left.

Fears de-committed in June... portal window was far gone...

Yea but DGL would have left when Fears committed hypothetically as a 24, not in a June when he decommitted.

Fears was a 25 so he wasn’t a threat.

Looks like Curbelo missed the second game of the season, can't find any reason why.

Brad has proven he can reload though. Fears doesn’t really make sense on this roster, imo, if he wanted serious minutes from the jump.

DGL would have red shirted the day the season started 😉

Moretti with a 3 and a dunk off the bench for a very entertaining FAU team against UCF. Still a lot of time left in 1st half.

What? Nico can dunk! I don’t believe it.

Nope. He’s still on the UCSB roster, he played 6 minutes in the first non-con game and 8 minutes in the second game.
