Feliz is back?

Sorry but this is beyond a bad hot take. Warren averaged 13.7/6.1/2.0 as a senior. He’s easily the starting PF on this team in front of Jake and DMW. It wouldn’t be close.
Agreed. It took Carter a while, but by his last year he was more than solid. If he was on this roster, IMO he would be the starting PF. We've got some decent options there in Grand and Hawk, but I'd take a senior Carter over either.
They're not retiring Ayo's number?

Illinois Basketball does not retire numbers. They honor specific player’s jerseys by raising them to the rafters of the Assembly Hall/State Farm Center using specific criteria to earn that honor. Ayo has achieved consensus First Team All-American status so his honored jersey should/will be raised soon. Kofi has already achieved consensus Second Team All-American status so I’m betting he will have his honored jersey raised after he leaves campus. Other criteria is involved with the 30+ honored jerseys in the history of Illinois Basketball who have been raised to the rafters, but no player’s jerseys have ever been retired.

Great highlights for Plummer on that video. One thing that stuck out for me is how can anyone play on that barf
of a floor at Oregon?Pointing out that Griffin didn't get tick in the tournament doesn't mean that he was a "knucklehead" that had no clue what he was doing. Griffin was such an offensive spark that he got tick for a good Illinois team DESPITE playing pretty bad defense. Genuinely not sure what point you're trying to make here"Boeheim, in his post-game Zoom call with media members after the deflating loss to Duke on the road, said that Griffin, for two contests in a row, is doing these “one-dribble pull-ups” for which the head coach doesn’t seem fond."
"While some of the issues in the zone are due to the guards, “Our forwards are not playing defense,” Boeheim said, addingp that the forwards are not covering and not coming up."
"Regarding the woeful defensive performance put forth by the forwards, and really the team as a whole in recent games, Boeheim said, “There’s no excuse.”'
Syracuse Basketball: Jim Boeheim rips into Alan Griffin, Quincy Guerrier
Syracuse basketball forwards Alan Griffin and Quincy Guerrier are among the top scorers on the team, but head coach Jim Boeheim wasn’t thrilled with the ...insidetheloudhouse.com
In Griffin's 3 NCAA games this season he had 15 minutes and 0 points, 11 minutes and 3 points, and 13 minutes and 2 points. There's a reason Griffin got benched. It's the same reason things didn't work out here. You can't trust him to run the system.

Yeah but those shorts…
I think what he means is that Hawk will be here in the future, whereas DMW will not? Very hard to coach that way with the current transfer environment though.
Just give it a few solid games early in the year and the Board will have him going pro so then it won’t be so tough.
They actually outsource that to the cool kids at BYU.
If you've got it, flaunt it.
I was kinda hoping Belo would go back to 11 since that's what he was going to be before Ayo decided to come back for year 3. 5 Works well for him though as well.
I’m guessing ballroom dancing wasn’t a thing back then
