Coach is going to give you a straight answer when he wants and coachspeak when he wants. His style is to be candid by default and transparently cagey about stuff he's not going to answer. While the situation of no Frazier/Belo for extended minutes is a scary proposition, it's not a particularly productive topic for press pool interviews, and BU as much as anyone tries to avoid spending much mental effort in that arena. In short, there's no point in asking a combative question that gets answered [almost] every time the Illini play.
Sure, the Illini would be in trouble if Frazier goes down (or if he hadn't come back)
2019 was a rough recruiting class for our guard depth. That happens sometimes, and that is in the past.
Transfers in would be facing a roster with most (or all) of: Trent, Monte, Ayo, and Belo... with Mr. Basketball Adam Miller available.
