He recruits and is a good coach but I'm confident we have larger stacks.
I don’t *necessarily* disagree with your overall point, but like dude…. He’s a year removed from being the go-to guy on a team that was in the National Championship, which makes the “tournament aspirations” part a little bit silly.

Lot of chatter last year love wanted to come back to the Midwest
Yeah, basically a 5-game hot shooting streak that came at the perfect time (surrounded by other UNC blueblood talent mind you) massively inflated his value. Whole team returned, swapping Manek for Nance, another year older and they proved what a fluke that title game appearance was...
His NIL deal could be LaBamba
Pronounced Net in my neck of the woods.
Too soon. I hope the Illini pass on the Ky transfer talent pool for a while. Preferably a long while.
This dude is a top 5 if not top 3 dude in the portal. He is a dude amongst guys.
Sorry for being naive, but do we have any shot at Caleb Love?
Not sure we want him. High volume low percentages. Think Matt Mayer with even less upside.
God, I hope not!!

Just a thought:
If we did get Love to replace Epps, and Tyger to replace Skyy
+ kept Coleman, TSJ, et al…
the media would be like:
we won't be going after him. maybe my least favorite player in college bball
Obviously, you’re entitled to your opinion…
BUT…
I’m gonna have to disagree on this one.

This can’t be real
omg he’s the absolute worst
Maybe I missed this at some point, but is it expected that Epps is leaving?Just a thought:
If we did get Love to replace Epps, and Tyger to replace Skyy
+ kept Coleman, TSJ, et al…
the media would be like:
Did you love the Matt Meyer shot selection experience? What if I told you you could have a shorter version who is even less interested in defense?
With the team chemistry issues we had last year, do we really want a transfer from a team that seemed to openly dislike each other most of the season?
Love is great when he’s good, but just hasn’t been good often enough. IMO
Easy post to miss. I don’t think that’s was talked about or mentioned on page 32 of the 119 pages other pages where it was all that was talked about.

Looking back, I personally preferred Nance to Mayer. I preferred both to Antonio Reeves. At the end of the season, Reeves may have been the best choice.
