I wonder how much of problem is the concussion. He should never have left Illinois. At St. John Andre's play is much more under control and less ball dominant His 3 pg % improved from 20% to 30% but he only attempts 1.5 per game. He definitely would be starting PG with Skyy gone.

I doubt that. You think he'd be starting over Epps?
It was best for all parties that he left Illinois.
Anderson’s buyout is reported to be close to $10 million.
When Curbelo was asked why he wasn’t playing, he said he didn’t know.
He puts the “fun” in dysfunctional.

I agree with the biggest majority of this post. Except the bit about RJ and Luke being redundant. I see just as many differences as I do similarities in their attributes/ respective games. I doubt Underwood saw them as a complete redundancy…because they’re just not.
The farther we get away from his last game for us the more clear this is becoming.

ESPN 2024 mock...kylan Boswell and podz are late firsts and Bryce Hopkins checks in during the 2nd round.
I am not entirely sure what all this means but I can tell you that him leaving the Illini was best for my stress levels during games.

Boswell?? Really?? Not exactly crushing it in the stat department. Is it ALL potential??
That’d be the worst type of 1-and-done.
Edit: Wait, that’s the 2024 draft. My bad.

I find it amusing that the NY Post article has a photo of Curbelo wearing orange shades while dressed in street clothes on the bench. Leftover Champaign gear?Anderson’s buyout is reported to be close to $10 million.

The orange glasses are to help with post-concussion sensitivity to bright light.
Feel bad for him with how bad the concussion was. I wish him well --he was fun to watch despite some of the wild play.

I haven't followed him this season. Did he get another concussion or is this a continuing effect of last season's injury?
Wonder if he's eating popcorn on the bench again?

My admittedly limited understanding is that he continues to have residual effects from multiple concussions last season.
The symptoms he has suffered include a sensation of vertigo during games. My guess is the stadium lighting exacerbates his issues, hence the glasses.
Hoping the best for him... and for TSJ as well - he bashed his head pretty hard on the floor, too.

Absolutely. These injuries are terrible and the effects long-lasting. Andre was never the same after that first concussion last season. And I do assume the orange rims indicate these are the glasses he wore last year with us.

That probably added to his suspension.
Why didn’t Dawson Garcia or Omar Payne have to sit out a year after their second transfers? Seem like the rule is subjective at best.
I believe there was a one time transfer exception after the 2020 season.
But Payne and Garcia transferred from Florida and Marquette, respectively, after the 20-21 season. Shouldn’t that have been their one time transfer?
Sounds a little like his hero, Herro. Who has been worth his draft position.https://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft

Here are a few NBA scouts that may beg to differ, two got Podz going at 40 to Okl. City, another at 45 to Denver and one at 46 to Memphis - citing his shot making ability, creativity, versatility and runner touch as among some of his appropriate skill sets. Podz is pretty much included right around Hawk and TJS on most mock draft boards....here's to hoping they all make some serious $$$$

Nice, controlled game by Belo tonight…
Near the end, he got one of his patented ‘hide by the bench when opponents are inbounding’ steals. Can’t believe teams are still fooled by that one…
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think for both players the initial transfer was a COVID transfer. The second was due to the subsequent rule change.
I'm to lazy to look it up, but were there coaching changes with there original transfers? I think that allows for immediate eligibility.
