[QUOTE="Champaign Toast, post: 2059706, member: 748015"] That is a higher expectation than I have. A lot will depend on who we add from the transfer portal, but for me a [U]safe[/U] expectation is a fringe tournament team with a reasonable chance of getting in with a low (8-12) seed. Probably win about half our conference games. Next year's team is nearly identical to this year's team. Berry Wallace, while she has the lofty All American tag and recruiting rank, I think probably follows a similar trajectory to Gretchen Dolan: gaining minutes as she adapts to the college game, particularly what's required on the defensive end. I am not especially optimistic that we land a big from the portal that is significantly more impactful than Hobby was. But I'm still 100% on board. Hope they prove me wrong. This group has heart and is fun to watch. Even if the core group (Cook, Bostic, Bryant) never win an NCAA tournament game as Illini, they'll have meant a lot to this program and have a place in our hearts. [/QUOTE]
