The story is that Wagler played PG all summer before Petrovic got here and did a pretty damn good job. It seems like they are prepping him to play a pretty similar role to Riley being able to play on or off ball.

Sounds like you run him with Boswell when Petrovic is sitting and you feel really good about him in there. Seems like this teams depth is insane. Wild if someone Ty were to come back midseason.

Well, at least 4 of them are taller than Bradismir. (Reference his early years recruiting comment).

We are a very tall and old team and I really, really like it.
We might need to start a dialog about the fact we could have 3 elite guards in our team
Holy smokes Mirk is a strong kid for only 19. Basically same size as Morez.
Has anyone mentioned our Exhibition game against Florida? I don't recall seeing anything on here about it.
Could Wagler average double digits? I'd imagine at the very least around 8 PPG.
Wagler's highlight reel is a Will Riley clone. Looks like him too.
imo....It will be 80-20 Illini fans but to be fair Alabama has been a damn fun team to watch under Oats. I think they led the country the last couple years of 100 pt games. That's easy to root for. I know our fanatics see 100 against a Big Ten team, we go nuts. 4 Sweet 16's in the last 5 years will gain you fans. Alabama has that.
Brad and the Victors...
It’s not an exhibition it’s a secret scrimmage and I don’t think we’re supposed to be talking about it
I like the idea of playing 9-10 guys a game. This could be Brad’s deepest team especially if Ty comes back later in the season.
Am getting the fight club vibes here./s
Is it really true that eating a lot of waffles helps you gain confidence?

another disappointing presser with no idea of the questions from the reporters and having to figure out the question s by the coaches answers......................not up to the standards of the high major programs we now have in MBB , WBB and FB......
sorry to all for being so repetitive in my remarks on this subject but it is without question such a frustrating aspect of Illini sports and kinda insulting to Illini Nation fanatics who want as good an understanding of all info on the Illini.......
JMHO and I will leave it at that........
