Not sure about extremely poor, but absolutely agree that his D was poor.

Well the third like is @sharpshot16 so it seems this post has some validity.Y’all are quick lol
BU said it was like speed dating...
Was why Griffin was benched at Syracuse... couldn't or wouldn't even play zone defense!
As fans we are going to have to get used to this combination of a new era of transfers + being a competitive team on a national level again that has top tier talent on the roster and top tier talent coming in on a yearly basis. It’s going to force some transfers that we don’t like.
Top 100 recruits transferring after their freshman year isn’t as damming as it used to be (for us) ….we have a top 10 recruiting class coming in full of talent for positions 1-4.

So TSJ is just gone now?.....guess he was never a "

Unfortunately, the portal has taketh 3 of our players thus far, while it has giveth 0.
I don't think anyone really knew how banged up Trent was this entire year, and it may never get out publicly. He just kept his head down and worked.
The kid is an absolute warrior. The epitome of an everyday guy. And a guy who in my opinion still doesn't get enough credit for his career here. I will ride or die with Trent Frazier on my team, and I know Brad would say the same.
Rafters. That's all I've got to say about that.
No sane coach is going to going into a season with just three guards on the roster, all of them Freshmen. We will add at least one more guard, most likely two. I would prefer them with experience, but that's really a secondary concern. Primary concern is adding more guards.Just reading the tea
PG: Skyy
SG:
SF: RJ
PF: Hawk

Who will fill the void at SG? Personally I believe you can mix in Goode at the 2/3 with Rodger, Harris and Epps. All interchangeable. Why do we need to add experience? We see where that got us last year.
Oh, and the coaching staff's decisions this past year won us the conference. Bad luck that Trent got an eye infection and Jake hurt his shoulder right before the tournament, but overall it was a good season and the coaches did a good job.
If TSJ is gawn, maybe the staff doubles back and tries to get Grandy to stay?
Ugh. Things change so quickly, it seems.Y’all are quick lol
I think you must be talking about Marquette? I think that was the first HM game of the year ? Game 3 or 4 total maybe ? I know we lost the game ...
No offense to Podz but BU had absolutely zero reason to play him, and if he did I would have really questioned BU as would have everyone else ... I remember BU got some heat for only playing Plummer like 10 minutes and letting Belo take like 20 shots ... But Podz was not the answer in that game.
Larry, Paul, and Bo certainly didn't help either. Marquette shot like 20 more FTs than us and BU made sure they knew that ...

I loved Podz's potential spurtability (I think that's what DV would call it) as a role player off the bench and hate to see him go, but I also understand 18-22 year olds don't necessarily aspire to be role players off the bench with spurtability who are adored by illinoisloyalty posters.
Go make the most of your limited opportunity to be a college athlete...at somewhere that never plays the Illini.
Thanks for spurning the cheese heads and coming our way. You made a lot of us happy and confident in our program by doing so.

Welcome to big boy recruiting ...
Ah..I see the pattern. This isn't about Underwood, it's about DMW. That's fine, but just say so.
All I'm saying is BU does not have a track record of not playing freshman. It's quite the opposite really.

Michigan or Kentucky here?
If this is "big boy recruiting" the staff obviously isn't ready for it. And to let TSJ go to a conference rival? yikes. Yes, the Skyy addition was great but when you lose a top 100 freshman and your starting PG without replacing it that offsets any victory we have had so far. Seems as though we will be heading to another first weekend exit as there aren't too many other difference makers like TSJ left out there. Sad to see the staff/insiders so calm on letting a talent like him slip away so easily, especially after missing out on Brandon Murray
Any chance Bryce Hopkins has any interest in coming to Illinois?

So,,,, lot of smoke tonight about TSJ on here. Anything concrete you guys can share? Are we out of it for sure? Just down to a 50/50? Losing our heads over some misread tealeaves?
Also, is it Michigan? Goddamnit I hope it's not Michigan.
EDIT: By "concrete" I don't mean something that's certain/guaranteed. Just mean something beyond a liked comment or reactionary gif.
