against Edey, for sure you'll see him out there potentially. I'm not saying for a long time, but he's a change of pace player that could throw a little wrinkle into the system. Again, not saying I see him with many minutes, but I do think there is more space/time for him now that BBV and Kofi are gone. Zach P is a development piece (like Brandon is/was) and Brandon might be the more trusted option.

I hope RJM can put this big bulletin board chip on his shoulder...."There's 100 NCAA players better than me? Ok. Watch. This."

True, for most people, but nothing will top the back-to-back-to-back-to-back nattys when I was an undergrad.
Mayer rated higher than #72 Nance. Also none of the transfers out made the list.One places take on the top 100 players in CBB

no, he is tainted from wearing the hideous maize and blue.
Bacot all day long, those 13 boards per game to Hunter's 8 boards wins big games.

Boy's got some moves. I'll give him that.
I hate Dickinson and TJD as much as the next guy but to those of you acting like they aren't good at basketball,
They're good. FWIW Torvik had Dickinson at #6 and TJD at #11 in his NPOY rankings at the end of last season, and ranks them as #1 and #2 in the conference (#4 and #7 nationally) in projected PORPAGATU! (his efficiency stat which is meant to be equivalent to WAR) this upcoming season.

He might be able to play 3 or 4 minutes of post defense and not hurt you.
Wouldn't it be fun this fall to see all five of our freshman on the court at one time? Not for many minutes of course, and not in a game that's remotely competitive. But how about a few minutes in early-season blowouts? Just for 5 minutes or so. I think that would be fun to see. Let's remember, college basketball is part of the entertainment industry.
You'll definitely see 3 to 4 of them out there at one time in the exhibitions

I mean, of course, you're right. We definitely view them with orange-colored glasses. It's hard not to when we compare them to our two-time All-American center. Plus, they both have pretty obvious fatal flaws. Hunter runs like a t-rex and can easily get out-muscled by smaller players. TJD can't shoot and tends to shrink in their biggest games.I hate Dickinson and TJD as much as the next guy but to those of you acting like they aren't good at basketball,

I'm sure the stats prove they are not just good, but very good. But also, there really is no world where I'm going to properly rate a Hoosier or a Wolverine. As an Illini fan, I'm pretty unabashed about that.
Nice, pretty much one per team. And then there's us.One places take on the top 100 players in CBB

I think TJD sucks big time..............
JMHO........................it really really is........................
Thanks for the link! Definitely worth listening to. also love that the scUM grad host is terrified of "Daddy Brad"
as he should be lolColeman Hawkins sounds like a great young man and can't wait to watch him ball tf out this season
GO ILLINI!
With Coleman's point about positionless basketball, it means Luke Goode will be partially a #2 at all times on the court.

is it just me or does Lieb look like Dickinson in this video?
Perrin and Lieb are not the same kind of developmental piece. Illinois would not recruit Lieb this year. He was a true project. Perrin has had success internationally against older players. One guru has him projected entering the 2024 draft.
Totally different types of players. Lieb was a project, Perrin a higher rated young player who needs strength but has better skills. I don’t mean that Lieb couldn’t provide a few minutes, but realistically, Lieb and Perrin are in a battle for the 11th man this season.
