Not sure I'd go that far. We need to add at least one quality PF/C and not having any more guys leave. Even then we'd only have 11 scholarship players.An embarrassment of riches right now.

It's one of the more balanced and loaded rosters, top to bottom, than we've had in awhile. I'm pretty excited about this as a starting point.Not sure I'd go that far. We need to add at least one quality PF/C and not having any more guys leave. Even then we'd only have 11 scholarship players.
Long-time lurker, first-time poster.Yeah there is stuff in the works.....if someone leaves it's going to be Coleman. Staff think there's 2-3 more guys coming in at least
Murphy’s expanded twice. Doubled in size and then did it again. Conquered B-dubs and then Green Street Coffee Shop. I was there for the middle period, now it’s huge. Was once a shoebox.Hmm.. Could there have been there more than one expansion? This DI article references the 2009 expansion I was talking about. https://dailyillini.com/uncategorized/2011/09/28/graffiti-walks-line-between-art-and-vandalism/
Yea, whatever happened with Ramey? Did he choose a school yet?Not sure I'd go that far. We need to add at least one quality PF/C and not having any more guys leave. Even then we'd only have 11 scholarship players.
I don't think so. Nance shot 45 percent from 3. Hawk shot 23 and 29 the last two years. I don't see him ever being that productive offensively. Nance is better than Hawk now but I do hope you are right about Hawk getting better.Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
Read this article earlier today when the Nance talk got fired up: https://www.insidenu.com/2022/3/12/...xpert-ben-pfiefer-on-northwesterns-pete-nance. Seems like Nance is nice player but ceiling seems fairly low. Hawkins to me is a bit of a wild card but has a much higher ceiling. Not sure I would want to risk it with Hawkins unless it's a big-time upgrade.
Ya, maybe. I do like that Underwood wants to develop players as well as men. I like getting invested in the Illini and watching them grow through the years. The players like Brian Cook, Malcolm Hill, Trent Frasier. These are the players we still talk about because we loved watching them play and grow.You might wanna stop watching college sports then…..
Wow. This is quite a take. We are in the process of loading up on big time talent. We will have an elite group of talent this next year. We have more on the way with the 2024 class. The effort it must take to be bummed right now .....That is why I don’t get the Shannon transfer. He didn’t want to be here out of high school, we weren't his first choice this time. We got him by default this time because he could not get into Michigan! Doesn’t seem like it is worth it to take the chance of losing a current player who truly wanted to b here before all this new crap!
From the digging that I've been able to find on Ramey (limited posts regarding him), it seems like at the moment he is sure-firing to stay in the draft until the combine... take that for what you will.Yea, whatever happened with Ramey? Did he choose a school yet?
Yeah, you're not wrong & he may not ever be that level of a 3-point shooter. I just think Hawkins role was fairly limited this year b/c of the veteran team surrounding him. Had he played for NW, I've gotta believe he would have been extremely productive.I don't think so. Nance shot 45 percent from 3. Hawk shot 23 and 29 the last two years. I don't see him ever being that productive offensively. Nance is better than Hawk now but I do hope you are right about Hawk getting better.
Fantastic
When I was there in the early 2010s there was the entrance which was led into a long and skinny section with the bar, which then wrapped around to another area which had the downstairs entrance and the kitchen area where you ordered. There was then another additional space further to the right that may be the supposed second expansion.I thought Murphy's expanded twice. Can someone who has lived in town since the mid-80s give an accurate update on the times and which space they took over? I remember Murphys being long, thin, and with no downstairs. At some point, they widened a little and added a small downstairs with a few arcade games. I thought there was a later expansion into the current space.
I'll miss Zorbas. Double Dipski, who shared space with them when they first opened, was also good. Those ice cream sandwiches were large enough to be a meal on their own (Two 6" chocolate chip cookies, with .75" of ice cream between them.)
The pound basket of fries from Tritos (vs. Trenos) were a great late night study snack.
We were there, too, at the SugarBowl behind the ILL in the end zone. A ton of Illini fans were there. The first night on Bourbon Street was awesome because it was packed, TOTALLY Orange and Blue since it was basically a home game for LSU, and none of them were there yet. The night before the game was absolutely awful with the drunks and their in-your-face pointing at you screaming “tiger bait.” Then the game happened. I can’t think about LSU “student athletes” without remembering what one of their fans told us back then in Pat O’Brien’s. EVERY student who applies gets in-no ACT or grades necessary…I was there, waaaaay at the
Being on bourbon Street was a blast despite all the drunk LSU fans chanting “tiger bait” in your face every block
