Bass ceiling is extremely high. A 6’5 kid that has great handles and can score at every level. I am really excited about Bass and Stoor.

And a stay at the beach house for a weekend.
I will take him any day. Incredible!
Agree... Now two scholarships open
#12 and #13. My take on coach underwood and his justified refusal to commit to a pushy reporter.
More transfer portal entries are likely to happen with, Imo, Kofi is a 35% return 65% nba, at this point.
I like Ruevers and a big center from the Miami Huricanes still out there in the portal. More changes coming to the Ilini. Stay tuned.

Whats the odds of EJ getting drafted?. SportsLine podcast tonight (Loren Tate) reports his parents want him to come here, and EJ has contacted Underwood . Says they've been talking for a couple weeks. He wants to play the 4 alongside Kofi. Of course if they both get drafted.............
Interesting
Holy cow I thought the rumors were literally just a joke/meme.
I can't imagine this is accurate. If that's the case, why wouldn't Liddell enter the transfer portal? I mean, don't get me wrong. I'd love this speculation to be true. But something seems off.

Can you imagine? Curbelo, super senior Trent, pick your 3, Liddell, and junior Kofi. Dangerous.

Are we allowed to talk to him if he’s not in portal? Not sure of rules.

Download and listen to todays SportsTalk podcast (WDWS) Its in the first 1/3 of the feed.
I'm not doubting you heard Tate say that. I'm saying Tate is likely just chatting about rumors and passing it off as fact.

Maybe... but he sounded pretty sure of himself.

Well, that escalated quickly.
He's always sure of himself. I'll believe it when I see EJ's name in the portal.
Don't players who declare wait to enter the transfer portal when they decide to return to college? Is there anyone who has declared that has also entered the portal?

The vast majority, yes. There have been a few exceptions.
It's true.
Still very unlikely but it has been thrown around by EJ's camp and Underwood's.
We only have a shot if Kofi comes back by the way. EJ wants to be a 4 next to a solid 5. Ohio State has been forcing him to play out of position and can't seem to hit that 5 they desperately need.

Yes to both. Non-exhaustive list of players who fit into the second category: Mac McClung, Sahvir Wheeler, Darryl Morsell, Justin Minaya, Alfonso Plummer (before he committed to Illinois), etc.
I understand the draw of wanting to play with a quality 5, but would t Zed Key qualify next year? Really like his game.
