Broken right hand, they're saying he is out for probably half of their non-conf... but those injuries have a tendency to effect shooting (and other things) until you really get 100% strength in that hand back... saw it with KJ last year

I understand Tugler is a menace, defensively. But I struggle to value a player that highly (#11 player in all of college bball) who is a complete liability on the other end. He can't make jump shots or free throws, isn't a good ballhandler or passer and doesn't even make a high percentage of his 2pt shots either.

Also, it looks like they just kinda didn't have any idea what to do with the 3 freshmen and just lumped them all in the same spot. Meh.

One last comment: Anthony Robinson ahead of Donovan Dent? Huh

Huh, only 3 other B1G players on this list before Tomi....but didn't make top 10 for the preseason list. :unsure:

I have never understood preseason individual All Anything teams. They are the most useless lists there can be. I may be in the minority but preseason individual awards are opinions based on translating past performance and projecting that to future performance. There is no correlation. Rant over.

it's marketing and used to hype up the upcoming season. I love it. it's just opinions but it's something to talk about for those of us starved for cbb to come back

this isn't a disclaimer by your brokerage firm, past performance is a great way to measure future performance in college basketball. that's why retaining good players is huge

Something to monitor for those of you with YouTube TV and only sign up for Peacock for Illini games. Not sure if everything has been clarified just yet, but would be great to know the details by the time of IL's first Peacock game Nov 7.

www.sportsmediawatch.com

YouTube TV will include Peacock sports content, but not NFL

Peacock-exclusive sporting events will soon be available on YouTube TV, with the noted exception of the streamer's exclusive NFL game.

fyi...If you travel or have an AMEX platinum card, they have a 25$/month credit for streaming services and Peacock (as well as Hulu and Paramount +) are among the services that participate.....so I basically get Peacock for free.
