I think Miller is a near-lock to stay.....starting 100% of all games as a Freshman for the #5 team in the nation.hard to read this as anything other than miller being one of the transfers.

Lol whathard to read this as anything other than miller being one of the transfers.
If we're talking Hamlin/Lieb/Hutcherson/BBV, I don't mind those transfers... I just don't want to see Curbelo, Miller, Frazier, Bezhanishvili, Hawkins, or Kofi playing for another team next year... If any of those guys left (and stayed in the NCAA) that'd be cause for concern.Just don’t punch the brick wall....also just a heads up so this board doesn’t lose their mind this off season expect some transfers from the current roster.
Perhaps the non-contributors at the end of the bench. BBV, Lieb and Hamlin. (They're probably beat up and bloodied from practicing against Kofi.)Giorgi, Hawkins and Miller are all expected to be back. I’m just saying there will be more spots opening up so this class isn’t done yet.
Just putting this rumor to rest, I am taking my 30th year of eligibility and remaining firmly an ILLININice. This tidbit will lead this board to a thousand page thread on who it could/might be transferring.
Staff really likes Liebs potential he just has to put on a ton of weight. Kofi is either playing professionally next year or in an illini uniform. Don’t worry about any of the freshman transferring. As of right now at least.If we're talking Hamlin/Lieb/Hutcherson, I don't mind those transfers...

yep. Likely will see a big and one more guard or wing. Nimari is a top target as well and I like our chances thereGiorgi, Hawkins and Miller are all expected to be back. I’m just saying there will be more spots opening up so this class isn’t done yet.
Illinois is in a very enviable spot with Nimari....but the staff won’t be hung out to dry by him if he takes his sweet time.yep. Likely will see a big and one more guard or wing. Nimari is a top target as well and I like our chances there
Grandi? I hope not.Giorgi, Hawkins and Miller are all expected to be back. I’m just saying there will be more spots opening up so this class isn’t done yet.
RJ-Dre no one could solve this chemistry.2 wings with andre cubelo could be fkn incredible i think the melendez curbelo chemistry could be unmathced
This is a hell of a coaching staff.I love this staff. This was a “bad cycle”. We filled two needs with top 100 kids that are rising.
Why? Since the beginning of this year, he's been consistent in that he understands his role. He didn't have crazy expectations. He literally had an interview today where he talked about being a role player and recruiting other guys. Talked about his plans for the summer. I'd cool off the concern.Hawkins concerns me a bit.
Hawkins concerns me a bit.
Maybe in his leaping ability but you would be hard pressed to ever find someone who played with the tenacity and will to win that Kenny Battle did. Andres Feliz is one of the very, very few Illini I’ve seen who came close, which is probably a big reason both guys are so beloved by the fan base.is Melendez our modern day Kenny Battle ?
is that a fair comparison ?
Not Curbelo I hope! With the free transfer year worried about poaching. Believe during the Duke game it was mentioned that was his dream school.Giorgi, Hawkins and Miller are all expected to be back. I’m just saying there will be more spots opening up so this class isn’t done yet.
The ones that are remembered, yes...doesn’t mean you can have some fun...not bustin’ your chops, just been a while since we had some fun with a recruit...or a recruitNicknames are reserved for stars. I just hope Ramses doesn't end up being a stiff.
