I know this...I rushed yesterday to get Illinois for National Champs at +5000 before any more announcements come in and those odds get chopped by 2/3.

I'm a bit surprised Hutch hasn't gone in the Portal already... unless after 5 years and all the injuries he is just done with the college life and ready to move on. I would think he wants to play somewhere with the COVID year, and I'd imagine he could get a Medical Hardship Waiver to maintain 2 years of eligibility.
Oh they’re just trying to throw us off the scent. Don’t be fooled. They are a wily bunch those insiders
Only one way to find out for sure...
If you guys stop hearing from me.....you know why.
At least we will know it's not from knucklehead posters on here!

Well now I'm going to have to go rewatch this...one of my favorite scenes in the whole show (including his post-testimony freak out)
Fighter of the Nightman

Last summer, I tried to find B1G odds when Kofi was rumored back (but it wasn’t official yet), and I couldn’t find them online. Would have been 100% on my first bet ever!

Samba Kane?
Podz did not make 247's list of Top 100 players in the portal. Curbelo at 26. https://247sports.com/Season/2022-Basketball/TransferPortalTop/

Adam Miller at 15 and based on the star rating, there is not 5 stars.
This scene and the one where he and Tom are talking about skulls are on the long list of favorites.
Maybe not the best gifs but certainly the best basis for a long form post about having your toilet replaced that leads to mass confusion.

I know, but this kid was probably seven years old when Black committed.
Ivy League without a scholarship?
Current live feed of Andre?
We as fans know almost nothing about what really goes on with Our Beloveds. Whomever They may be.
We see the end product on the floor. But we did not see these guys growing up. We do not know what they are going through right now off the floor. We know almost nothing about their personal life and what their life concerns and personal issues are. We don’t see the team practices (except for a lucky few). We see maybe about One Percent of Their entire life (on the game floor) and we make all kinds of judgments from that.
In what other business or part of life can you successfully look at 1% of the total package and make useful assessments?
Yes, we all can and do come to opinions about what we see on the floor. But do we know if a guy is sick or ailing? Do we know if he has a personal issue weighing on his mind? Do we know what he is physically capable of on a basketball court? Do we know what his true ceiling is?
We are going to criticize because it goes with the business. And players have a duty to allow fans to have their say. But the bottom line is that we all need to be mindful of what we are saying about someone and why. We have to have a good dose of humility. If we truly care about a Team, we treat that Team like a member of our own extended family and use a good dose of respect and support. And criticism... out of caring.
I think most Illini fans measure up pretty well on this score.
