Is Miller going to be happy not being the primary PG?
I can't see him coming back. Too many other schools with a lot less competition. Both LSU guards who started are now in the portal, Murray, and Pinson. This is Miller's big opportunity, at LSU. Maybe he can play point, and shoot 25 times a game.

I think the fact BU and TA are recruiting Skyy so hard tells you all you need to know unfortunately. Podz is not even talked about but he is a what 6’5” point guard he is going to play some minutes I would assume? Pretty sure we saw Goode and RJ are future players, but I was under the impression Podz was every bit as good as the other two, yet we’re not talking about him at all?
It's because of such a small sample size this year...if not for super seniors we would have a much better picture...I'm pulling for him!

Totally agree but don’t you think he is going to get like 15 - 20 min per game next year and he is a point right?

What actually happened at half time? I am guessing there is way more to it, but that was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. I am also guessing he was frustrating to coach, probably called a few too many audibles. Sees it and runs with it. I am also guessing he could be a polarizing personality amongst teammates. Am I close on any of my speculation?
No. Brad was looking out for the kid. He just isn’t right in the head right now

Well I was wrong about this Miller stuff when I said no chance it would happen. Actually a great chance he returns.

That second team is a top 25 team if they play extended minutes. Our deepest team since….?
I gotta see it to believe it. And they need to get these wrapped up sooner than later. Last year Garcia was all but to us. The blue bloods still playing will eventually be in on a lot of these guys.

Thing for me with Curbelo is that he looked miserable here in the PC's I watched. I just want the kid to be happy. If he needs to move on for that to happen, I don't begrudge that. He needs to do what's best for him.
Really he was very supportive on the bench when he was out. I think he is suffering from some kind of “mood” issue. If that’s related to the concussion I have no idea, but he just does not seem right in the head so to speak. I love him as an Illini, but why is Brad after Clark all of a sudden if the writing is not on the wall?

That's really sad! Does everyone know it doesn't have to be that way? All it takes is solid people who work hard, care about others and do the right thing to change this? Sadly most people ignore the fact that we could all be better!
And for the record, I'm not knocking illini80s post at all. I just hate that the days of loyalty are gone, like him. Those days shouldn't be gone.
When you start paying players and removing transfer requirements, the days of loyalty are over because you've created a "I'm going to get mine" mentality amongst the players. You can come and go as you want to get a better deal.

College basketball is no longer an amateur sport. It's the mini NBA and Illinois is currently in the free agency period. This is what it is, like it or not.

So Miller coming off ACL surgery, transfers back and immediately starts? Guess I’m having a difficult time seeing that happen unless recovery was one of the best ever. I’d want Prodz over Miller imho.
