If we're not getting Liddell then this is close, averaging 13.7 pts, 8.4 rebs, 49 % overall, 31.1 from 3.

Do we need a combo guard?

Good thing we have the Kankakee pipeline in place with Storr.

Black is really a 6’7” PG. incredible passer and athlete known for lockdown defense. If there’s any knock on him it’s his 3ball but he has time to develop. We have Storr (G/W) and Bass (G) committed. Imo will need a PG or ball dominant CG in the 22 class. Belo could easily be gone in the draft after an All-B1G season in 21 or 22

This is a real thing believe it or not. Rockford (not Kankakee unfortunately) hangs its hat on Fred Van Vleet and AJ Storr. AJ and Fred are tight in the same way that Podz and Herro are

Long overdue IMO.

He's already a lottery pick.

AJ thanks for the insight!

We need this commitment!

That goes without saying

You can say that again!!

Hutch's jersey should be hung from the rafters prior to his debut.

There’s also grumbling of a Hutch statue in front of State Farm Arena.

Nobody has any idea of what it will look like at this point

I’m disappointed in you all that it fell to me to make the obligatory player-to-be-named-later-in-the-Alan-Griffin-trade joke.

Not to be doom and gloom, but there's a real possibility Hutch goes straight to the NBA and never suits up for the orange and blue.

Do you really think an NBA team is going to draft a former div 3 player with injury history?

When they're touted as the next Michael Jordan, yes.
