Even with Nance, I feel Hawkins could get 40 minutes a game. He could also play the 5 position 7-10 minutes a game. We would be long and athletic! I’m gonna have me a stroke!

Too many OT games for my taste.

Why on earth would he play 40 lmao huh

 

[Nappy I_L_L]

My question is who is the 3rd?

 

[warhog6g]

Yeah...only reason why it's tough is because Coleman is a great guy and I love his potential. But Nance is an absolute stud and you take him 100%

The problem is Coleman doesn't have the juice he thinks he does to be doing some of the things he is doing, and Underwood is getting tired of it.

It's a shame because I like what he brings to the table, but Coleman is Coleman's worst enemy.

Is Maize still good?

Now I'm really hungry. Give me a couple hours to get down there and Maize on me today to celebrate the good news ahead

If Coleman could shoot anywhere close to how Nance can then it would be different. Many are optimistic that he can but I'm not so sure he ever will. I like shooters.

 

[DB11Headband]

Nance seems intent on staying in the draft, no?

Until he withdraws, yes

 

[BashCtIllini]

If Nance comes, we now have 3 post players for 80 minutes. If my math is accurate that is a lot of minutes for all 3.

I'll just start drinking on your tab until you get there!

[Future Walk-On]

Skyy
TSJ
RJ
Nance/Coleman
Dain/transfer

Can we revisit the people claiming we won't even sniff the top 25 yesterday?

If above happens we sniff the top 5.

 

[JMoser16]

There is no third transfer coming in. That's fake news

IMO Dainja should come off the bench if we land Nance.

Have a blue guy waiting for me

I think I agree assuming Dain doesn't play his !!! off (also assuming this mystery "third player" isn't a legit big). My rotation as of now would look something like:

Skyy/Epps
Shannon/Harris
Melendez/Rodgers
Nance/Goode
Hawkins/Dain/Lieb

What if he stays in the draft...backup dominoes?

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

One year of nance or multiple of Coleman? Might be the question

Except you’re assuming Coleman stays for multiple years. Could transfer next year — who knows.

 

[illiniguy24]

All of this just feels gross and slimy. I won’t be happy if getting Nance causes CH to leave or TSJ causes RJ to leave. But whatever, it’s a new age

 

[DB11Headband]

He won't

 

[altgeld88]

He's been nominated for an Oscar. One of the best actors going for over 25 years.

Just rewatched Cedar Rapids and We Need to Talk About Kevin recently. The man's got range. I mean like from the hashmark, Nick Anderson-in-Bloomington stylz. Which reminds me (so I won't be accused of going OT again), we really need some shooters next year.

 

[Idea Gardener]

He didn't say transfer, did he? Could be future commit?

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

If Nance comes, we now have 3 post players for 80 minutes. If my math is accurate that is a lot of minutes for all 3.

Plus we have Goode who can play the 4 as well. If we get TSJ and Nance, we will have plenty of minutes to go around for 10 players.
