Because we want to finish higher than 7th in the B1G.Why no talk of Lieb starting? He's one of only 4 returning players.

Big fan of your restaurant, dawg.I just don't see it from Lieb. Yes he's tall but he's so limited athletically that it's almost more a liability to have him out there. He really struggles to stay in front of his guy on D and even with added weight still gets bodied a lot.
Central Michigan is a heck of a drop from #1 seed Illini BTT champsHappy to see Reggie land at a nice spot!
Cant help noting that only player mix that doesn't show CH, is if Mayer is here....For the new people here….those lineups aren’t just made up from my head…..they are from the coaching staff

A-E suggests heightened importance of one over another. How about red, orange, yellow, green, blue? /sWhat spots will they start in? Please use the A-E convention instead of the flawed 1-5.
0440 is allowed to write the rules, he’s locked in. Don’t run him off!
I noticed this also. Proposing 2 lineups without Hawk in the starting; does that mean he could still be gone? It seems as if he is not starting, he would not be staying, right?Cant help noting that only player mix that doesn't show CH, is if Mayer is here....
Seems like UNC has a pretty strong pull w Mayer. Going to guess he’ll be a Tar Heel next season
Just think of all the unsigned players we can put in the starting lineups and then worry about players transferring...Didn’t know that was an option.
Most coaches are probably comfortable playing these three at 4/5. The question is whether these players are comfortable? I think there are enough minutes to go around assuming we do not get one more person there.They are comfortable playing Dain, Nance, and Coleman at the 5
It was reported that Co Hawk was nervous about how he would fit in if ILL brings in a transfer (Nance). He had a meeting with the coaches and was assured he wouldn't get pushed out of the way. This is why he didn't enter the portal. He already knows they are recruiting guys in his position.I noticed this also.

Since it is post May 1st, the free transfer is out. But I guess transferring and playing is on the table if a team takes a guy who drops out of the draft. Could Hawk feasibly get a waiver based on perceived lack of minutes so they could easily only somewhere else? Serious question.
Also, not pulling for Hawkins to leave, just wondering the thought on the scenario if he isnt starting, could he still leave a play? Meaning we are not iut of the woods yet with him potentially leaving.

I like Luke too. Ginger Mamba got game!Am I the only one high on Luke Goode? I know he's no Bryce Hopkins and demands to start at the 2... But seriously I saw a lot from him last year... And with his size and shooting ability I think he's a got potential to be a 12 ppg+ scorer

It was always unclear - did Reggie ever have a commitable offer from Illinois or did he jump the gun?

Wouldn’t Orange and Blue then clearly be the most important?A-E suggests heightened importance of one over another. How about red, orange, yellow, green, blue? /s
I heard Lieb was gonna start at the 5 and Goode was going to start at the 2, which we all know is Goode's natural position.Please tell me you're not serious ... Some of these takes on here make me reluctant to even log on every day...
If the staff wants to keep up-to-date on all of the gold that is mined here, they need to read everything JUST LIKE THE REST OF US. No shortcuts to greatness.Who has the responsibility to pass all this wisdom and insight to the coaching staff?
I watched some of his games at Elevation Prep on Youtube. I've never seen worse basketball. 1 on 4 pretty much every play. Reggie barely broke a jog, barely a walk actually. Worst effort I'd ever seen. Once he got the ball he would bust it and had some skill, but if he didn't have the ball he would just stand at the 3 point line. Never made an attempt at a rebound, never even hinted at defense. I was shocked we offered him let alone accepted a commitment.You can like a kid on film ... But once they saw him in person, they decided to pass. Reggie stayed "committed" for a long time after but he was never going to end up here.
That would be the coaches son 0440.. /sWho has the responsibility to pass all this wisdom and insight to the coaching staff?
