You've already been proven wrongI believe I saw every game Kipper played for Illinois and I've never been a fan. I hope I am proved wrong but doubt it.

Give me Hill, Finke, and Vinales to complete the roster.So far during this string of announcements:
Andres Feliz
Rayvonte Rice
Demetri McCamey
Kipper Nichols
Mike Daum
Leron Black
Nnanna Egwu
I know there was tweet back in January saying Malcolm Hill would be back but I don't believe I have seen anything recently.
I like Malcolm, but I have higher expectations for the other spots. I think we need a big, powerful PF scorer from inside the paint.....who can provide 7-9 rebounds per game.Give me Hill, Finke, and Vinales to complete the roster.
You weren’t a fan when he scored 31 against Iowa in the BTT his soph year?I believe I saw every game Kipper played for Illinois and I've never been a fan. I hope I am proved wrong but doubt it.
Finke = Hard pass. He was awful last year. Almost as bad as Leron. I’m still not sure why they saved a spot for him eitherGive me Hill, Finke, and Vinales to complete the roster.
With having Daum, we have a pretty solid rotation at the 4 and 5 spots. If Malcolm plays then we have even more versatility.I like Malcolm, but I have higher expectations for the other spots. I think we need a big, powerful PF scorer from inside the paint.....who can provide 7-9 rebounds per game.

No one said he was a stud but he developed into a solid player who had a few spectacular outburstsHe averaged 6 points 2.9 rpg throughout his career.
6 foot tall freshman Andre Curbelo, to add some context to this, averaged 4 rebounds a game as a freaking freshman.
Granted Curbelo played more mpg last year than Kipper's but if you use per 40 Curbelo has him beat (7.4 vs. 7.2) and I appreciate his effort but he was the epitome of built like tarzan plays like jane.
Goodness even Underwood made a comment one game how the dude couldn't jump.
I’ll remember him as a guy that showed potential but just wasn’t consistent enough.No one said he was a stud but he developed into a solid player who had a few spectacular outbursts
Having a couple outlier games hardly proves "somebody was a good player" as opined earlier.No one said he was a stud but he developed into a solid player who had a few spectacular outbursts
He had high major athleticism and had a number of games showing high major talent. He was a solid player for Illinois at the end, but he could have been more. He just never put it together consistently, and that was the most frustrating thing about him.Having a couple outlier games hardly proves "somebody was a good player" as opined earlier.
He wasn't a high major player. I'll always root for the guy. Good kid. He just didn't belong at the level he was at.
Seriously? No he did not. He had about a 4 inch vertical and moved poorly laterally.He had high major athleticism and had a number of games showing high major talent.

I'd say he was a more athletic Larry Bird.Seriously? No he did not. He had about a 4 inch vertical and moved poorly laterally.
He was "jacked" so people just assumed he was athletic. He was not. He was a very under the rim player.
2 things. First is watch the end of this first video, it’s the 1st in the top 10 countdown. Then watch the 2nd video and try again. I wish I had a 4 inch vertical lolSeriously? No he did not. He had about a 4 inch vertical and moved poorly laterally.

Getting stuffed by the rim from point blank usually doesn’t make too many highlight reals. Maybe you can find that highlight.2 things. First is watch the end of this first video, it’s the 1st in the top 10 countdown. Then watch the 2nd video and try again. I wish I had a 4 inch vertical lol
I don't know what to tell you. Brad Underwood himself made fun of Kipper getting stuffed at the rim and literally said "KIPPER YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T JUMP".2 things.

He is elgible just like Feliz was last year.Would Giorgi be eligible to join this team??
