Anybody have in info. on what time any sort of news is supposed to be coming? If it is today that is? Would probably do my computer some justice so I quit refreshing every 32 seconds. LOL

So to recap all of the commotion last night, we are losing AC and getting AM? I declare a fair trade make it happen! I will trade 4-3s a game for 6 turnovers and I did like AC.... Ok everyone back to speculation!

Pru, every time I drive thru Paducah my wife tries to drop me off on Husband Rd... Is there a strip club in the area? Might just take her up on the offer is there is.😂😂😂😂
I have my own strip club going every day with NL # 3................City ordinances stopped the regular strip club mantra years ago .......At one time there was
Regina's House of Doll's and it rivaled some of the club's I went to in Atlanta , Chicago and other Sodom & Gomorrah's of the world .....It really really did.

Seems like the most likely scenario to me. the fact that "mystery transfer guard" has basically been a lock for most of the season suggests to me that player wasn't playing. If it's someone who will be "obvious" once he enters the portal... it has to be Miller.

Right?....right?...amiright?

Oh, man. I haven't read the whole thread - but enough to be bummed. Hawkins is my favorite player. I hope he's not the rumored transfer (not that I want anyone to be). I have to say, though, he is who I've been most concerned about. It just seemed like all was not well every time he got yanked, and he is who I would personally least like to lose. Not that I know anything about anything (I don't).

As for Giorgi: Yes, I think he was a good example of players having value on a team even when they're not playing a lot of minutes. Sure, athletic performance is necessary, but I think we can sometimes undervalue personality and chemistry. imho.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Sencire Harris of St. Vincent-St. Mary is the cleveland.com boys basketball Player of the Year after leading the Fighting Irish to their second straight OHSAA state championship in Division II.

The 6-foot-5 senior guard is headed to Illinois on scholarship. With a left-handed shooting touch (he sometimes scored with his right, too), Harris dominated the perimeter for a team that did not lose to another Northeast Ohio team and finished as cleveland.com’s top-ranked squad regardless of division.

RJ responding to questions last night. It's just social media, but not getting any exit vibes from him.

I'm not positive on this front, but I do believe one of the insiders did say somewhere on here that RJ and Goode were staying.
RJ did a twitter post , I believe , that said he was staying put........But , we know things can change ......I will believe him until otherwise noted .....

Not that we have our answer yet, (maybe a good idea) of the bad news, can we start pecking away at the good news now? Hopefully, there is still supposed to be some?!

I have a short list-2 guys that I don't want to see in the transfer portal outbound. I would like to use my one time transfer portal veto power as a long suffering Illinois fan if one of my guys attempts to enter said portal. 😎

I hate to think they we have run off Curbelo. High expectations didn't pan out this year, but look what the kid went through, any chance he felt that pressure? I believe so. We're the feelings of frustration valid, sure, but all that frustration became toxic from our own fanbase. Same could be said to a lesser degree for Hawkins.

The whole basketball world can see the talent Belo has and I know that plays a factor in the corresponding frustration levels. If he does transfer I don't think it's a great look for illini nation, as I think it will be easy to see blame placed on the toxic minority of illini nation.
