[QUOTE="haasi, post: 1540022, member: 9034"] Just listened to La Tulip interview on Tay Piper podcast. Good listen. Link here- [URL]https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-drive-with-lon-tay-derek-piper/id1475818212?i=1000474614724[/URL] We can expect 9 on roster. He’s very focused on adding shooting with the remaining spots. Player 7 will definitely be a former Illini but 8 and 9 haven’t been decided and may be non Illini. Requirement for alumni team is 7 players from a school. He won’t decide the final two spots until after euro league announces what it’s doing on May 24. Says they’re aiming to win tourney and confident. original plan was to have training camp at Ubben open to public but because of restrictions that’s probably not going to happen.

He said no hard feelings because it wasn’t a snub but would look forward a matchup against OSU if it happens.
