Ok, it's Skyy or a transfer, right? Exclusive Or. Gotta be, cause the only way Skyy is coming is if he's starting, I figure. Thoughts?

All I see is that on 247 he is being recruited by us, Kansas, ASU and others. So he can't be bad.
Yeh. I watched some film of him. Has a big body, quicker than lightening, great ball handler and can shoot the cover off of it. Great passer, great hops and lateral quickness off the charts. The thing that impressed me most about him though was his ability to play under control and utilize his strength while in traffic. He is very strong and scored after contact a lot. He looks like a one and done to me. The kid is a player and your guess is as good as mine but he maybe thinking D-League.

That's what I thought, but he stated today that he's going to a university. Why not Illinois?

Agreed but idk how a lineup with both Curbelo and Skyy would work.
I know little about the guy but Jerry Meyer's assessment of him on 247 describes a combo guard "with deep range" and has a comp of Bradley Beal. "Wired to score." That sounds like a guy that would be a great fit playing the "SG" role next to Belo, particularly with the type of offense Brad likes to run.

Plummer role.

25+ wins, if Kofi's back.
Is this actually a possibility? It seemed like he was standing with his framed jersey on senior night so just assumed he wasn’t even considering coming back.

Clark could actually fit the Plummer role well.

If I was the staff I would be showing his film and stats to prospective transfers all day long.

Dude could have been 2nd team all big ten if he played any defense.

What did he say about defense?
