What are the chances that he contributes this year?Perrin's France team wins over UK, 97-45. He had a 10/10 in 17:29. Nis +/- was +34.
Perrin has a bright future, believe he is still 17 years old or just turned 18. The dou that created the nickname "Daddy Brad" compared him to a YMCA player. This is nonsence, might have highest ceiling on team.Replay is here:
Looks like he's lost 30-40 pounds! I know Fletch is good, but give credit to Dain - that takes a lot of self-disclipine to do that in 6 or 7 months.He looks pretty slim down in this clip.
When he coached at Evansville, he had some weight issues.I'm more concerned about Marty Simmons health. He could hardly walk when I saw him last winter.
And maybe Moretti?Perrin has a bright future, believe he is still 17 years old or just turned 18. The dou that created the nickname "Daddy Brad" compared him to a YMCA player. This is nonsence, might have highest ceiling on team.
Not uber athlete, but is long and skilled. Will see what next two years brings but I see him a contibutor sophomore year. Freshmen class of Ty, Epps, Sincere, Skyy and Perrin is crazy good.

CHawk boneheaded plays fouls we're backbreaking to watch. Was really hoping he would clean up the simple stuff... This is disappointing to hear.Matt Mayer cut the mullet ... Highly disappointing lol ...
Dainja looks the part ... I got to see a little preview of a side-by-side comparison from when he got here until now ... WOW, I hope Fletch posts that one
I think for me I expected Skyy, Ty, and Epps to all be ready and they look ready ...
The biggest surprise to me is Harris ... He might be the most athletic kid Brad has had and he is so freaking long it's insane and he loves to talk trash and isn't afraid to back it up ... Kinda like Trent in that way ... May not be a major player right away but Harris is gonna be a fan favorite ...
If I had one thing to kinda nitpick ... It would be Hawkins ... I just wish he would take the next step as a leader ... I mean he is the most experienced guy in terms of being at Illinois that we have and he spends a lot of time just clowning around and not being mentally freaking focused ... I know we have been blessed with Trent and Ayo and DMFW but I really thought Coleman would step up and it's just not the case ... Goode, and TJ were probably the most vocal guys ...
You have to add Dainja into that Freshman class too. He will no doubt get the injury waiver year.Perrin has a bright future, believe he is still 17 years old or just turned 18.

Just to be clear on Dainja, I meant the injury year at Baylor.You have to add Dainja into that Freshman class too. He will no doubt get the injury waiver year.
He is a transfer regardless of years of elgibility. The class of Hawkins, Miller and Curbelo was very good except 2/3 has now transferred.You have to add Dainja into that Freshman class too. He will no doubt get the injury waiver year.
Man could you imagine if Dain is able to keep the defense honest from deep?He looks pretty slim down in this clip.
If he can play defense we won’t miss Kofi but that is a big “if” for me until I see him play. Hope it is just ignorance on my part.Man could you imagine if Dain is able to keep the defense honest from deep?
I’m not expecting him to go out and shoot 40% from 3 on high volume, but just knowing he could stick it if you leave him would be a threat most probably weren’t expecting coming in to the season.
That’s what Dickinson is beginning to develop.Man could you imagine if Dain is able to keep the defense honest from deep?

Houston didn't need any 3s from their center to beat the illini and now that the illini have taller guards who can more easily get their shots there will not be as much need for 3s from the front court.Man could you imagine if Dain is able to keep the defense honest from deep?

So we don’t even want the threat?Houston didn't need any 3s from their center to beat the illini and now that the illini have taller guards who can more easily get their shots there will not be as much need for 3s from the front court.
RJ, Goode, skyy and Epps should help with that. But you’re right, we’ll need to make threes to be competitive national.Replacing 216 three's from 3 guys (Plummer, Frazier and Grandison) will be one of our major challenges this year.
Mayer and Shannon combined last year had 77.
So that means we don’t want Dain on a spot up or Ty in a p/r to be a threat to keep people honest right?Replacing 216 three's from 3 guys (Plummer, Frazier and Grandison) will be one of our major challenges this year.
Mayer and Shannon combined last year had 77.
I doubt that we attempt to replace that many threes. We shot 821 of them last year (third most in school history). I'd expect us to shoot at least 100 fewer this year, if not 200 fewer.Replacing 216 three's from 3 guys (Plummer, Frazier and Grandison) will be one of our major challenges this year.

It will be a challenge but we won’t be reliant on the 3 like we were last year.Replacing 216 three's from 3 guys (Plummer, Frazier and Grandison) will be one of our major challenges this year.
