Proverbial degree in basket making?Masters in Dropping Dimes
A quick question regarding Nance. Since he is graduating then does he not need to enter the portal to avoid sitting a year? So the May 1st deadline doesn't apply to him then. Does it apply to graduating transfers or not? It seems it does not but I'm not sure. I noticed he didn't mention the portal at all but does he need to in his situation?Pretty impressive (sadly) that this new thread is already up to seven pages w/ no new real information--just more hot takes and panicking.
I'll just say I'd be pretty excited to see Pete Nance in an Illini uniform for one season. He could help ColeHawk quite a bit, I'd imagine: showing him how to expand his game. They seem like pretty damn similar players.
I'm prepared to get banned from the board today.....lol
Grad transfer....deadline doesn't mean anything......no he wouldn't mention the portal when announcing he is entering the draft.....he would mention the portal when he withdraws his name from the draft.A quick question regarding Nance.

Must apply to the transfer portal by May 1st...I'm prepared to get banned from the board today.....lol
Lot of drama in AAU basketball and a lot of drama with the Irvins. Anderson=Meanstreets MIF=Irvins......Irvins always feel slighted if they don't get what they want.
Some of you need to realize we aren't going to beg talent to come here anymore. We aren't in the Groce years anymore. We don't need to pine over every 4 star guy who might be interested in us....I can tell you the staff for sure isn't.
The greatest trade of all time.....TA is light years better than Chin.For all their drama, Brad really maneuvered the MIF/Irvin's situation as well as he could it seems. Got in with Chin and MIF to get Ayo and Miller, but had to spurn Horton-Tucker to do so. It looked like a questionable decision after Maui in 2018 but we know now that ended up being a huge win. 3 years of Ayo >> 1 year of THT.
And then he brings in Tim Anderson to replace Chin just as Meanstreets is becoming the more prominent program compared to MIF. Bravo!
Patience is really a virtue these days. Everybody just wants immediate results, not plans.Staff has a plan. There will be multiple transfers
Well thanks for the verification. While I'd love to have Nance and if he pulls his name and he would likely leave. I dont think BU is waiting around on Nance or anyone to decide for ling. BU is seeking out other viable options that are willing to sign on rather than wait on someone to make up their mind like we did Kofi last year . I am looking forward to see who they may be.Grad transfer....deadline doesn't mean anything......no he wouldn't mention the portal when announcing he is entering the draft.....he would mention the portal when he withdraws his name from the draft.
Just shows you its never a lock until they are signed. So why even go there.You're right, but when an "insider" goes so far as to call a recruit a lock, I've got to think there was more than flirting happening.
There is plenty of indication on other players as well.
Kahn owns the Jaguars not the PanthersI thought I saw an article that said entire Illinois athletic program had couple hundred thousand in NIL last year but I cant find it. Only $ amount is $65k for campus ink t-shirts. I don't know how much Kofi got for OSF health care and TCCI mfg. These just don't seem to be type of companies that would be making 7 figure payouts to recruits/ahtletes.
You would need billionaires alums to step forward like - Tom Siebel, Larry Ellison, Shahid Kahn (owns Panthers) , Marc Andreesen, Martin Eberhard (Tesla cofounder). Jon Corzine (Goldman Sachs) Jeremy Stoppelman (YELP founder)

Going to need a logo and typography update.Somebody wanna fix this up for the staff to include in an NIL offer?
A lot of people on here have patience but when someone on here posts that certain players are a lock, this is what happens. I understand they are dealing with young men that sometimes change their mind at the last second so why stick your neck out like that knowing this.For crying out loud, can we have a little patience please? It's still freakin' April. We dont have to fill up our roster by May 1st. Let this play out.

Maybe we've joked about it so much that everything just thinks it's only a joke, but no one should ever take a "lock" as ironclad until there's a signed letter proving it.A lot of people on here have patience but when someone on here posts that certain players are a lock, this is what happens.
