I haven’t seen any of note other than Greg Eboigbodin, but the names are pouring into the transfer portal this week.

Hayden Brown and Donovan Williams are some interesting names. Donovan in particular was born in Rockford and is a 6’5” SG. not a ton of minutes, but 44% from 3

AC evidently did work on his shot over the Summer but unfortunately it did not transfer to the court. He is, however, the best mid-range shooter on the team...and the only one who seems to look for that shot where he is money. Let's hope he can become a threat from the arc....it just hard work and thousands of reps, but no one knows how much time he spends there...except it was not enough.

Curbelo has good shooting form. It’s hard to evaluate him this year with his injuries.

I don't know about that. Looks like he kinda pushes the ball to me. He is a wizard and very good to great at unconventional shots but I have never watched a standard spot up jumpshot from him and thought that was a good looking stroke. On the flip side I think Kofi actually does have a pretty good looking shot (it just doesn't go in a lot).

Thought implication of article was that Skyy was still in recovery stage and probably wouldn’t be 100% next season. Wouldn’t be an issue for us with Belo as long as we have a space availability.

He tore his ACL in July 2021. He won't play in college until September 2023. How long does it take to bounce back?

I think people need to understand, everything with Clark is accelerated. He committed to DePaul in the 8th grade. Backed out and committed to Kentucky as a Soph. Now as a Sr he's backed out. This accelerated drive is what would make me think he has the NBA in his plans sooner rather than later.

Glenbard West's Braden Huff is a good pickup for Gonzaga. Really impressive all around skills.

Pierce is a steal for Princeton. Very athletic and skilled. One of his brothers played finished at UNC and another is about to be drafted in the NFL after a huge combine and production at Cincy. Durkin from West will be a good pickup for a mid-major. Warden will be a perfect walk on. Sneaky athletic and will work his tail off in practice.

What a gem of a video this is! Amazing transformation over the years. I know he wasn’t that “small” when he came to Illinois but I think it is safe to say we like the “Fletched” version better than this young version of himself.
