Yup. They wouldn't play together very often. Two guys for three positions is 25-30 min for each, which is fine. All could put up good numbers with those minutes.

It would be awesome if Podz could contribute as a FR, but I'm not counting on it.

This is still a big liability. Trent is a great defender but for the most part was surrounded by taller, more physical guards in Ayo and AM. Putting multiple smaller guards on the floor at the same time can be exposed by quality opponents.

If anyone wants to break down +/-'s when Trent and AC were in the floor at the same time I'm willing to listen.

Sounds like we have a bit of good news coming this weekend, along with a potential nut punch. Hoping we get a surprise Kofi announcement as part of the former.

I think it sounds like Frazier announces his return and Plummer commits with Miller officially gone daddy gone. But I'd love to land Ntambwe soon, too. Is that too much to ask?!?

Honestly so long as it isn’t Belo or Kofi transferring I think we can weather about anything else. Actually don’t have any ill will toward Miller wherever he goes. We’ve got a stable of 6’5 shooters on the way.

I don't have any ill will toward him exploring what he thinks is best for him, don't believe 99% of the second (more likely third or forth) hand rumors reported anonymously on a message board about what's going on behind the scenes regarding his motives or relationships with the coaches/teammates and would 100% welcome him back with open arms. All that being said he will be dead to me if goes to Michigan or anywhere else in the B10.

i don’t disagree with a ranking of Trent, Miller, Hutch. But if the coaches convince Miller to come back, he’ll start. Otherwise we’d never get another top Chicago kid. And three guards 6’3” and under starting is problematic. So I think it’s possible that AM out opens up the starting “2”, making one more year much more attractive for Trent.

I agree....but the fact that we have to start certain kids to satisfy Chicago is maybe right,...but still very Annoying!.

Makes one have the following mentality:
"we dont need you...a spot on the roster is available if you want to be an Illini....your choice" ...no "re-recruiting" time should be required

Anyone who isn’t ready for Adam Miller to announce he is going somewhere else is deluded. Outside of a coaching change involved, I would guess the number of kids that return to their original school is almost nil.

Rumor I heard is Miller wants to go to Kentucky, and Jaden Hardy wants to commit to the Illini but Jaden Hardy is waiting for Miller to decide if he’s returning to Illini, and Kentucky is waiting on Jaden Hardy to decide before they accept Miller’s transfer.
