Brad and Co just won the BIG for the first time in 17 years!
What if Frosh played more, we lost 2 more games, finished in middle of BIG and got bounced the first round as an 8 seed. Would that have been better?
Guess we’re not losing him to KState, but if he does go elsewhere, it’s nice to know there are so many options for HC so close to home.
I’m out…
The best player in the history of our school ended up at ranger junior college this year because with super seniors coming back c/o 2021 kids got shafted. 4 year varsity player with stats, accolades and winning legacy to back it up.Teachers are absolutely rewarded, just find a way to develop 6'9" athletic freaks in the classroom and you'll get offers
2023 kids from our area who will never be as good as him have multiple high major offers as recruiting goes back to normal.
He was a better HS player than Jamal Shead (also from our area, coached against him twice) for reference. He actually played AAU for Shead’s dad.
What if, we started freshmen every single game and gave them 20+ minutes, but then they decided to transfer out?Brad and Co just won the BIG for the first time in 17 years!

At least they’d be ready for next year.
Yep it is a business, $ talks and BS walks, got to pay to play with the big boys for recruiting connections on your staff. Do not want to ever relive recruiting circa 2006 - 2017.

Tomorrow!!
We would still have two scholarship spots open if you’re including the departure of Kofi, Grandison, and Hutch.
We need to add an experienced guard in the portal and another big. Hopefully, Omar improves, but right now he’s just a tall athlete, not a basketball player.
No, this covers all 13 available slots. We only had 15 this year due to the super-senior exemption for Trent and DMW.

Be interesting to see how the draft process shakes out. Kofi has made a ton of progress the last two years. I wouldn’t be surprised if a team doesn’t take him knowing that they would have him full time to continue his progression.
We’ll see….
That’s good. Kentucky guy stated Louisville has money problems. Called out Payne as coach about a month ago, couldn’t afford other names…will see if I can find.
Hopefully bodes well for asst pool
Well then there are 31 other teams with the same or more “success” so Louisville can go after those 93 dudes.
And Chester and Anderson go to Kentucky? Alexander to Gonzaga?Plot twist: OA and Chin leave Cal to join Kenny P.
And don’t tell us his name but spell it
Agree
. I read an article on ESPN 2 days ago about Ayo and how the second round draft pick is powering the Bulls. What the article stressed is most 2nd round picks don't end up on their teams nor playing. they usually end up in the D-League and not making very much money. If he comes back to Champaign he can make a fortune and walk out the door with his degree, the all-time points leader, and rebounding leader. he will always have a job at the University of IllinoisGiven the fact that Whitman offered BOTH Chin and OA huge raises last year, I don’t think he would hesitate to do the same with TA (who will still be cheaper then what either OA/Chin are being paid)
She will be 3 in june.. time flies.. yeah Tim is extremely valuable. James Brown come on downHey Rob, how old is your daughter now? She should be driving by now.?
He has talked so much about leaving a legacy. He would be pretty high on the all time list with another season. Its tough to say what he will do.. another bad taste in his mouth after this one. He was the only player in double figures.
