So Epps goes to G Town only for Rowan Brumbaugh to commit tonight … Interesting …

Likely an even smaller role than he would’ve had here …

That portal sure is something …

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
RayJ is a nice player who could really help us, but the trio of Domask, Harmon, and RayJ would strike me as extremely strange, for the lack of targeting a truly knock-down outside shooter.

All three of them have spent their college careers as volume scorers, as has TSJ, and we're hypothetically going to stick them all together on the same team with marginal at best jump shooting around them?

I don't quite get it.
My personal hope is Underwood gets the three point shooting under control next season. Not quite so many. More emphasis on driving and passing. I expect him to add a PG and a big, so maybe that's the plan. My other hope is Goode and Domask account for about 2/3 of the team's three point attempts.

There was just a post a little while ago saying Tyger may opt to play pro ball in Europe. Deleted now but it appeared to be a UCLA "insider". 🤷‍♂️
Do you believe everything that is posted on the internet or on twitter?

1. He’s not a point guard
2. Doesn’t really matter how he feels. Staffs job is to build the best roster possible and if that moves Buck down to 8 or 9th in the rotation so be it
whos buck?

Why do I feel like Harmon is being added as an expected TSJ replacement? :cry:
If TSJ left, Illinois would have a big chunk of NIL to throw at a top-tier portal replacement. Harmon commitment—a solid piece who won’t break the bank—seems to me to suggest that the staff expects TSJ to return.

If TSJ ends up leaving, there will be some huge names who withdraw from the draft and enter the portal… and Brad will be able to throw money at them like NLs throw themselves at Pru. It’ll be okay!

I wonder if Dra gibbs lawhorn stays, he’s talented but i don’t see any minutes for him
man I love dra, he's a great story and would be such a good scoring guard off the bench, rn I see him as the backup 1

This is not how NIL works. We don't have a salary cap we can distribute as we'd wish. You have to find people to pay the players, the school can't.
