No. But the person I was alluding to will likely be visiting next week.

Also, the guy who I think will be our true point guard is not in the portal yet. In due time

Domask reminds me of Jon Ekey. He’s not gonna hurt you having a guy like that on the roster. But he’s only likely here just 1 season. So I don’t think it helps in building a program.

Brad loves him as a depth piece. Don’t think he would start, but he would be a fantastic 6th man type of role. Can really score and defend

I'm both an SIU grad and an Illini grad. I watched a few SIU games this year - even attended Arch Madness. He's not nearly as athletic as RJ, but he'll always be where he's supposed to be. He can shoot fairly well. He can get by in the post. He was a real leader for the Salukis - winning type player and not someone you have to teach effort or culture. Great glue guy. I'd be ecstatic if he came here.

Great leader for a mid major. Not really cut out to run the floor in the big 10 and provide contributions at the same time, moves around lethargically. Team player, streaky, and used to playing the 4 at 6’6. If he’s getting buzz about being an Illini top priority…. Make sure your panic button has fresh batteries lol

I don't know squat about this guy, but he sounds like he'd be a VG complementary player.

I don’t think anyone said he was “top priority” here. Also, players usually elevate when they’re around better talent too. More space to shoot, more focus on other players and potentially better chemistry.

Short list of mid major players that transferred to become stars but Look at the long list of mid major transfers that become very solid role players.

Don’t douse water on the flame just yet is all I’m saying ;)

If he's a 6th or 7th man how should we feel?

I’m just telling it like it is. Haha not saying he wouldn’t be a good role player. What I’m saying is “don’t get too excited.” as in he’s not gonna come in to C-U and win you a bunch of ball games.

To be fair, SIU's offensive style is really really really boring to watch. Hard to look elite when your team consistently plays games in the 50s and 60s. But, he seems to do a little of everything and will be sound defensively. We could do a lot worse than Domask as a 6th or 7th man off the bench

Right… but I don’t think the number 1, 2, or 3 priority for Illinois is finding a guy that can play 10-12 mins off the bench and shooting it somewhat decently

Well if he plays hard, good teammate, and can shoot decently that’s all I care about lol

If you’d like a smaller, less athletic Luke Goode to eat up a roster spot, be my guest. Hard pass on Domask for me if I haven’t made that clear 😂 I don’t think it benefits this team at all. They need a wing that can really shoot it, and is able to get up and down the floor.

He can absolutely be Grandison-like with a little more on the ball skill. The 22/23 team sure could have used that
