respect my decision™
I conceded that in the post right above you. I was thinking more about the time since and how it's been over dramatized here nonstop.
Some fans on a message board over reacting? Go figure.

My closing thought on Miller: I wish him no ill will. I do think he's making a mistake. We'll see. None of this falls on staff. Very glad this is almost over.

Believe he is going to be in town for the ceremony on Monday though...

Regrets if logic appears as the opposite of "chill" to you.
Not directly at you Uber, I know we are all having a withdrawal because of the sudden ending to a story book chance for a Title last year. I feel it too. This never was a board that had differences in opinions go on and on....2nd and Chalmers, Obelisk, Gritty etc withstanding. We are here because we live for this stuff. Everyone give each other a BU halftime hug. And let's give em hell next year!

I will never stop calling people out for spreading unfounded negative rumors about University of Illinois basketball players. Sorry. You confuse opinion with conjecture. I don't. Maybe tell people to stop spreading rumors about kids and stick to, you know, recruiting. We got Podz in part because of what Wisconsin fans did to a recruit. Maybe keep that in mind before dragging Illini players through the mud with zero to back it up.

So is the minority camp now the one wanting Miller back? Make up your minds people.

Second year Illini Adam Miller has a greater impact for the Illini next season and future Illini teams.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but I think the general consensus is everyone wants Miller back. Same for Trent Frazier and Da'Monte Williams (and Kofi, obviously).

With Ayo gone but that line-up I think we compete for a Big Ten Title, Big Ten Tournament, and top 25 ranking all year. Probably do better than one win in the tournament too.

Most likely to least likely (imo):

1) Plummer commits
2) Trent returns
3) Kofi returns
4) New class of 2022 or 2023 commit
5) DMW returns
6) AM returns
A very nice list. And here are two corollaries......

* April is probably a little too early for Kofi to decide. I would bet he's still got more feedback to gather.
* There's still at least some possibility that SENIOR Plummer won't count against our 13 "allowed" scholarships. Perhaps Trent, Monte and even (incoming transfer) Plummer are free additions. If true, we'd potentially have a roster with 16 scholarship players! And only half of those would get meaningful minutes once conference season rolls around.
