That whole article is a head-scratcher. I thought this was particularly strange: :Though the Tigers are returning three of their top five scorers for 2021-22, the talent needed to make a run in the NCAA Tournament and be competitive in the SEC requires a bit more than just good basketball players."
I know it's Satan's team, but he's shown he can coach, and has incoming 4 and 5 star players to join the three mentioned.
My guess is the 2022-23 Illini will be in contention for the BIG championship, with a high floor, but maybe not as high a ceiling as Ayo's last team. We'll have some really fun players to watch.
