Wow

Yeah, I was told by a pretty reliable source that Nance looked like he was in fold just a couple days ago.

There was a hope he was….we made a good offer….went all in on him….put Mayer on the back burner….hence why I thought he was UNC bound when we backed off. We wanted Nance real bad. Pleasantly surprised we got back in there and won this$$$

Yeah this is how I feel, too.

Insiders, any feel for what the starting 5 is gonna look like with this move? I see the likely options as:

Skyy-TSJ-RJ-Mayer-Dainja
Skyy-TSJ-RJ-Mayer-Coleman
Skyy-TSJ-Mayer-Coleman-Dainja

(Working under the assumption that Mayer wouldn’t have come here if he wasn’t assured he’d start)

One of the first two

We are going to be trotting out giant lineups next season. Absolutely hyped and this will be the most athletic Illini team in my lifetime (wasn’t born yet for the flyin Illini)

Skyy
TSJ
RJ
Mayer

!!!! yeah, this is my preferred 5

It will be interesting to see just how dangerous Dainja is before I can make that call. It may depend at times who we are up against as to who is at the 5. If Hawk has gotten stronger and Dainja can bang a little, dish the rock and play off the bounce this could be a wild ride. Looking forward to Vegas in November!
