Epps and Sencire we will see.
Coleman/Shannon-Think we can get at least one of those guys back.
We have an eye on a couple of transfers already. Couple of guys not in the portal yet. Think we will add three transfers and not more as long as we retain a good amount of our guys, which the staff is a lot more optimistic about right now

I can't get over the Sencire thing. I know they asked him to take down the post, but it just really has me thinking something is going on with Chet as well.....

Darn - I hoped Sencire was in the "for sure coming back" category.

I love the spark Sencire brings to the team but I think he knows without a lot of improvement in the off season he will see less and less pt... His shot is just not good and I dont think he can change it that much. Like his mentor Chester has prior to his Sr year he is a liability on offense

I would bet my beach house he ends up becoming George Masons head coach as soon as the spot is open.. Would not surprise me to see Sencire and Epps both go with him if that in fact happens

Nothing to do with Chet. Just going to see who we bring in for guards. Think he ends up coming back though. But we are likely bringing in 2 guards if Jayden leaves so we will see. Imo I think everyone but Epps is leaning towards coming back, but still a lot to play out

Sigh.

My relationship with the portal is literally Ross and Rachel from Friends.

He was an exchange student from Iraq or Iran.......Don't really remember , just that he had to wear a turban ..........Told me after the game he had a camel back home named Osama............why did i remember that , but forget other meaningful things........huh ......it bewilders my mind some time, but I have all the time in the world right now being retired and all that goes with it........

The final score of the game was my team won 67-27.........................I had 14 points............I really really did.................

The ending of this unique story aboot mems of the past continues when Ish and I run into each other at a concert at SIU......
It was a Jethro Tull concert and we caught up on what had happened since HS and he got some kind of visa that allowed him to stay in the good ole USA for college......I found out he was from Afghanistan , not Iraq or Iran , and he had some of his country's best export cash crop........Needless to say we became very good friends and continued as friends until I found out he had went back home when the Russians invaded his homeland.........Sad to say , but Ish lost his life by a bomb buried under a main road into Kabul......

So pardon the f**k out of me for soooooo many ...................but I was sharing a true and still to this day a sad time in my life.....

The point I was trying to make is one should explore the inner soul of others instead of judging them by their outside appearance.........Everyone's blood on Earth is red , so keep that in mind regardless of the many colors of the skin that we all come in contact with ......You might miss a good friend here and there......JMHO

I'm surprised about Dainja staying and possibly Sencire not returning. Is that a coaches' decision more than his own? Not shocked on Epps at all. Disappointing because I think he'll be a solid 4-year player, but he clearly isn't a PG. And maybe DGL makes him a redundant piece on this team.

Hasn't Dain already used his 1 free transfer likely impacting his decision making

What do you would make Coleman or TSJ stay or leave. Both are projected 2nd round draft picks. I am sure they both could play overseas or make some good NIL but what are they considering

So is the Sencire thing a coaches decision or player decision? I guess I would be surprised if it was on the coaching side given the amount of energy he gives and the praise he received. There is always room for someone like that. I get that Sencire struggled to make a layup at times but his value is so high in the intangibles.

It seems like the reason he would leave is getting recruited over. If the staff can land some high level transfer guards that would take his PT he might not be interested in returning.

No more free multiple transfers is quite a deterrent.

What do Epps and Sencire have in common? 🤔

Player. Sencire wants to be back. Just a little iffy on his role next year as we will be brining in at least one lead guard. I think the coaches ultimately convince him back though. Not as confident on Epps

I listen to podcasts when I go to bed, and have Illini Inquirer and Mark Titus in my feed. Sometimes I wonder if I imagine things or actually heard them, but I THINK I heard some talk of players/schools challenging the enforcement of just 1 free transfer. Along the lines of “is the NCAA really going to force a sit out year.”
Take this with a huge grain of salt, please.

I realize this is just a discussion platform, but too many of you take the opinions of two or three people as fact. You live and die by their every word. The fact is they know no more then you. Nobody can know what these young men really think. I'm sure most of these young men don't know any future plans for sure. We all know what the coaches need from the transfer portal. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. Who stays and who goes could be dependent on who we pick up in the portal. Bet you knew that too. I'll make an statement to get you all excited.....Coach will bring in 2 transfer that will absolutely surprise you. And 1 who you might question but he will turn out to be very productive. That's what I'm hearing
